ALEX'S Testimonials

PREVIOUS client TRANSFORMATIONS!

My training started with Alex just prior to Covid, as I am not the gym type person, but I am an avid golfer, and wanted to maintain my club head speed and distance …. Much to my surprise, I have increased my distance , and my core and overall body is firmer, and I no longer suffer from intermittent back issues . I am female , 73, and have never felt better , and my handicap has come down to a steady 11 !!! Alex , although much younger than me, has never pushed me to do anything that I think is too strenuous, we always take our time and work up to the next level…… give Alex a call, he already is training one of my golfing girlfriends …..

We have known Alex Saretsky for over 15 years. During this time Alex has proven to be a great asset and inspiration to the both of us. We have had the honor to have him be our personal trainer in physical fitness. We both believe his personal want and care for our health has improved our lives 10-fold. He has become more than just our trainer; he is a friend that truly cares about us and that feeling is reciprocated by us to him. Alex has a deep desire for everyone to experience to benefits of working out. It doesn't matter what your level of activity is, what you look like, how fit (or unfit) you are, what kind of physical or mental challenge you may have - Alex is ready and willing to take you on and help you achieve whatever your goals are. He really loves it if he can persuade you to get into powerlifting! If that's not your thing he doesn't push the issue. One of us has significant physical challenges on a regular basis and Alex is never at a loss - he always has a different way to accomplish your desired goal. He continuously shows great leadership in his community. He has spearheaded Christmas donations, sponsored families in need at Christmas in previous years and has brought his gym community into other "giving" events to help those who are in need in the past. We have been to many outings around the world with Alex and he is accepted and greeted by anyone who has met him with great respect and open arms. Alex has a great reputation among his colleagues, shows extreme pride in what he does and is a pleasure to be with whenever we are at the gym. As grandparents of children the same age as those of Alex's age, we find his children to be a delight just as if they were being brought up by our own children. Alex has a great reputation among his colleges, shows extreme pride in what he does and is a pleasure to be with whenever we are at the gym. We truly believe our lives would have a void without Alex in them.
