Donna Feldman’s  Success Story

Dear Arnel,
 
    When we first met in September, I told you that I had been working with a personal trainer for several years and I was not happy with the results.  She had me eating too much protein at the expense of other vital nutrients.  Although I Iooked thin and felt pretty good I was shocked to find out after our initial assessment how much bodyfat I had considering how hard I was working.  She had me doing cardio 7 days per week for 45 - 60 minutes and 4-6 days of weight training for 1 hour.  I had muscle but it wasn't cut or defined especially in the abdomin region.
 
    You told me your way of training and nutritional guidance would be different and would make the changes I wanted.  I was a bit skepticalat first with the lowering of time needed to burn fat and the reduction in weight training time.  I liked the nutritional advice right from the beginning because it brought back lots of foods I had given up for a long time.  I am happy to say that your plan worked.  After 18 weeks, I lost 4 pounds that I didn't need to lose, 7% bodyfat that I did need to lose, my clothes got bigger and I got lots of energy throughout the day. 
 
I am looking forward to our next plan of action since I am sure that I will love the results!
 
Thanks,
Donna Feldman

Andrea Gratton’s Group Fitness Training Success Story

Arnel Ricafranca brought me to a place within myself that I never thought attainable. I have accomplished a lot in 3 months.  I' ve gone from 150 lbs and about 36%body fat to 133 lbs and about 31% body fat.  Everyone comments on how great I look and I think the results are amazing.  Better than I expected at my age.  I have always had a weak upper body; however, my push up strength has quadrupled from 5 pushups to 20 pushups in just three months.

What surprised me the most is that I lost a total of 16.5 inches all around in just three months of training with Arnel.  I would highly recommend his services to anyone else striving to get in top shape.  Arnel makes working out fun and challenging for people at every level.

I'm so glad I got help from a personal trainer that knows so much and keeps me motivated.

Thanks, Arnel!

Wayne Gratton’s Group Fitness Training Success Story

I have a back problem and we have been able to successfully work  around it while still focusing on the muscles and areas that need strengthening without damaging my back.  My back does not snap as much as it used to.  I have more than doubled my back strength from60 pounds to 140 pound using the lower back machine.  My leg strength has quadrupled from 55 pounds to at least 200 pounds using the leg press machine. 

In just three months, I have lost 14 lbs of pure fat and a total of 16.5 inches all around. My total body fat percentage went from 36.5 to 31%. Arnel was an invaluable help and cheerleader for me, and without his knowledge and expertise I would not have accomplished what I did.
I look forward to continued training with him and seeing the results in the coming months.  Arnel has kept me motivated and pushed me to my limit. 

Thanks for everything!

Cindy Pagano’s Private Fitness Training Success Story

I began working with fitness trainer, Arnel Ricafranca, to strengthen my core muscles to alleviate back pain.  I reached my goal within the first 3 months!  To my surprise, I also reduced my body fat percentage from 38.5 to 35.5 and lost a total of 10 inches around my body.  When we began training, I could hardly do a pushup.  Now I can do 10 good pushups and have never felt more energized.  Each week I find myself saying “Wow!  I couldn’t do that before”. 
 
Arnel pays careful attention to my needs and fitness goals.  Under his guidance I'm motivated to push myself a little harder.  I continue to train with Arnel as he helps me to self-motivate, preparing to make use of my home fitness equipment.  I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to get in better shape. 

Arnel, I have been so pleased with the progress I've made since starting my fitness training with you.  To this day, I am still seeing great results, and feel healthier than ever!

Leslie Sherk's Personal Training Success Stories

In only 4 months Arnel has helped me regain my health, energy and how I feel about myself.  My body fat was at least 30 percent when I started with him; I am now down to 20 percent and still dropping.

When I started with Arnel I wore size 17w; I am now down to size 8 to 10. I feel great, have an constant incredible energy and overall feel healthy and younger.  I have accomplished my weight loss by training only three times a week and closely following Arnel’s guidance on nutrition.

His program is easy to follow and extremely effective. I tried so many different diets including the Atkin's diet and South Beach diet and  even a personal trainer but nothing is even close to his knowledge about training and dieting. With his help and support, the weight loss has been steady, and I continue to drop as I reach my goal weight.

I highly recommend Arnel to anyone who is truly committed to improving his or her attitude, health and appearance.

Thank you,

Steve Levy’s Private Fitness Training Success Story


It was a pleasure working with Arnel to kickoff my attempt to get in better shape.  He was flexible with scheduling and he provided information both on working out and diet.  He pays close attention to how you are doing to make sure you avoid injury while also encouraging you to push yourself a little harder.

Barbara Nelson Cullen’s Private Fitness Training Success Story

I had the pleasure of working with Arnel as my personal trainer twice a week for approximately 3 months this Spring, and would have continued to do so if he had not made the decision to move out of the area.  This was my first experience with a personal trainer.

Arnel was extremely professional, timely, and encouraging.  I was very impressed with his advance work on each of our sessions, as he was constantly altering the workout to maximize my results (and to keep it interesting). He also supplied me with articles to read and logs to keep in the time in between our sessions.  I made an amazing amount of progress in those three months – in terms of strength building, toning, and weight loss – and continue to build on that progress today.

I would highly recommend Arnel as a personal trainer.  His friendly and encouraging manner, his thorough knowledge, and professionalism make him an ideal trainer for anyone.

Cathy Fuller’s Private Fitness Training Success Story

I trained with Arnel for 4 weeks, 3 times a week.  I had never done a training program before, and Arnel was excellent.  He explained all exercises to me before we started, what the exercise was going to do.  He also was there with me the whole time I trained.  He always was very personable and answered any and all questions I had.  I am very happy with the results and am continuing my training on-line with Arnel.  He always keeps in touch over the computer and he is truly concerned that I am benefiting from this program.  I would recommend Arnel to anyone that asks me about my training.

Russel Vanderbush’s Personal Fitness Training Success Story

Dear Arnel

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for my training sessions and your ability to motivate a totally "out of shape" 60 year old person.

Prior to my training sessions, I was taking 500 mg. of Naproxen, twice daily, for pain associated with my degenerated hip and lower back pain.  After completing 12 sessions with you, I switched the prescription Naproxen for over the counter ibuprofen, and I am presently not using any pain relief medication.

I certainly feel better and have a lot more energy, due to my training sessions and I particularly notice that I have lost inches from my waist and chest.

I just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the outcome of my sessions and believe that they have helped me tremendously.

Best Regards,

Arnel is very knowledgeable in the areas of exercise and nutrition. He is passionate about wanting to help people better themselves by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. Arnel was very helpful to me in the implementation of a wellness and weight loss program that we ran in a corporate setting. I have been very impressed by his personal level of motivation towards his own goals as well as the goals of others. He "walks the talk".
