Aisha Martin, 31, Mother of Two
“Kingwood Strength and Conditioning has been a lifesaver! I can safely say that I have a completely new life because of Crossfit training. It is a way of training that is very simple in concept but very effective. I have been doing Crossfit for an entire year and the results are obvious. As of the end of the year, I have lost 57lbs and am down to a size 14 from a size 22. If I can do this, anyone can! I am now a runner, which is amazing since I hadn’t run an inch before in my life! I would definitely recommend KSC and Andy if you want to change your body and your way of thinking when it comes to your health.”
(Also wanted to add that Aisha has evolved from someone who had never exercised before to one of my top athletes - she is a prime example of somebody setting their mind to a goal and acheiving it through lots of hard work and a good program - Andy)
Therese Motes, 45 (Nutritional Program Testimony)
“I feel wonderful and finally have energy all day long ! After less than 2 months, I have lost 12 pounds! (from 132 pounds to 120 pounds @ 45 years old) My skin, hair and nails have also improved significantly.
This is not a diet – it’s just sensible, easy to prepare and well balanced eating – a plan that me AND my family enjoy. My family is fascinated by what I’m preparing for myself and it has given them a craving for what I’m eating! I asked Andy, my trainer, for a plan I can follow for the rest of my life, and he delivered.”
(Therese was not a personal training client at the time, she strictly signed up for the nutritional program. She dropped those 12 lbs without adding any exercise to her regimen!)
Philippe Cras, 50, Owner, Homewood Suites Kingwood
“Andy, thanks for what you do for us. I have enjoyed every session and find myself always looking forward to the next one. I began with two sessions but have since upgraded to three sessions per week, because I enjoy the workouts so much.
Although I had been working with a personal trainer at another location for five years, Kingwood Strength & Conditioning’s services are a big improvement over what I thought was perfect. I especially enjoy the “surprise effect”. I never know ahead of time what will be the ”workout of the day.” The exercise sessions are short and intense. That makes sense to me. Andy is always there to communicate why we do the exercises we do and why we do them the way we do them. Sometimes after the session, I hang around a little to do some things on my own. I feel safe doing those under professional supervision.
Andy’s advice on food and diet has been very beneficial to me as well. My improvement has been incredible this last year. I would refer anybody to Kingwood Strength & Conditioning for the best personal training in Kingwood.”
Frank Rosie, 52, Oil & Gas Attorney, Recreational Golfer
“I worked out a lot when I was younger but around age 45 I ceased to be very active and gained alot of weight, got out of shape, and lost all my energy. In October 2007, I began working out with Andy after developing some neck and back issues on top of the fact that I was overweight.
Since October 2007 I have lost an incredible amount of bodyfat, gained alot of lean muscle, reduced my waistline, feel stronger, and have more energy.
On just a two times per week program, I have noticed a change in muscular definition, increased flexibility, and I have a sense of accomplishment after each session.
Each workout is extremely challenging but fun. While there are staple exercises that we always work on, the routine changes almost every session, which keeps the workouts from getting stale. I have enjoyed the wide variety of strength and conditioning tools for both strength training and cardiovascular training.
The results that I have seen and continue to see, as well as the dynamic nature of the training sessions, have made it easy for me to make my workouts part of my weekly routine.”
Edward Weaver, 23, Houston Firefighter
“As a firefighter, my job demands that I be in great shape all year long. I came to Kingwood Strength & Conditioning because I knew my fitness levels weren’t what they needed to be. I was in great shape when I graduated from the Academy, but since that point I kind of let myself go. While working out at KSC I’ve gotten stronger, increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, and increased my flexibility, reducing my risk of injury on the job. Since I started training with Andy, I gained 13 lbs of lean muscle mass while reducing my body fat by 5%. In addition we’ve increased the weight we use on squats by over 100 lbs. I would recommend KSC’s personal training programs to anyone looking to dramatically improve their levels of fitness.”
Rick Johnson, 62, Businessman, Recreational Golfer
I am 62 years old and I am now more flexible, have more energy and my clothes are looser. Andy has kept my enthusiasm up and I look forward to my training each week.
Andrea Kowalczyk, 34, Dental Hygenist
“I cannot recommend Andy and Kingwood Strength & Conditioning enough! As a busy “thiry something” in the healthcare profession, I have been struggling to lose the same twenty pounds for about ten years. No matter how many meal plans and fitness regimens I have tried, I just couldn’t stick to anything, the weight would come off, and then creep back on.
I have found myself confused and overwhelmed with the equipment in large health clubs, and many of the diets I have tried over the years, like weight watchers, were just not something I could stick to long term.
When I started with Andy, he put me on a diet and exercise program and I lost four pounds in the first week. Andy’s exercise programs are fun and effective, and his diet program is realistic. I can usually get the workouts done in less than half an hour which is important with my work schedule.”
Owen Sands, 31, Police Officer, Humble P.D., Jiu-jitsu Practitioner
Caroline Daley, 31, Mother of 3
“With 3 kids and a crazy schedule, I tried everything from gyms to yoga to marathon training searching for a way to get in shape. Working out at Kingwood Strength and Conditioning has finally given me the tools and personal attention I needed to see real results. I am stronger, faster and more coordinated. I have more energy to keep up with my kids and now challenge them to races at the park instead of sitting on the bench. Andy has been attentive and tailored every work out to challenge me both mentally and physically. I would never push myself as hard as he pushes me. It’s been amazing to have my family and friends compliment my hard work and dedication, I would recommend this personal training program to anyone wanting to finally see the results they have long desired.”
