Chris Ward: "I currently have 2 herniated discs in my lower back which, over the past 5 years, has considerably limited my exercise and my overall physical activities. With limited options, I decided to join the body transformation challenge. Rob offered me his assistance and suggested I use him as my trainer, which I accepted; knowing his experience and overall knowledge in fitness has exceeded 20 years."

"I was not expecting any miracles. I told him that I wanted to work on building muscle and to work on areas that may improve my posture and balance. He was able to create a program for me that would limit strenuous lifting and exercise that may damage my back, and at the same time build lean muscle and reduce my body fat percentage. He assured me that his program would be beneficial for my overall health and that I will be able to build lean muscle around my core. This, in turn, would reduce stress on my lower back and could help eliminate the back and leg pain I was experiencing."

"Well, I am glad I did. Not only did I improve my posture and build muscle, but I also was able to strengthen the area around my back, which has given me more mobility and less pain in the lower back and right leg. I am truly happy with my results, and did not expect to feel this better in such a short time. Now I will not lie and say that this “fixed” my back or eliminated any bulging discs, but it has certainly eliminated a lot of pain I was dealing with due to back spasms and muscle tightness."

"I have been a member at Navesink Fitness (Previously Known As: Fitness Center USA) since the mid 90’s, and have tried my best to read up on articles and watch nutritional programs to keep myself in shape and do it on my own. Over this 10 week period, I can honestly say that I have learned more about weight lifting, fitness training, nutrition, and overall body maintenance that I have learned since joining the club around 15 years ago"

"I can’t thank Rob and Mike enough, as well as all the others involved with the challenge, for my overall transformation these past several months!"
