Goal: To improve my overall health by losing thirty pounds
"It all began when I heard Patrick speak at a Home and School Association meeting. I′ve struggled with my weight since I was in elementary school, and failed on fad diets and dangerous diet drugs, so Patrick drew me in with his knowledge of fitness and nutrition. I knew he had what I needed.
I immediately enrolled in Pat′s kickboxing class for women. I was a little hesitant at first, since I was the largest woman in the class, but it′s a lot of fun and the other women are very encouraging. Kickboxing really got me moving and motivated me to stick to my weight loss goals.
I also joined a small group session with Pat for nutritional counseling. He initiated this support group and gave us sound advice on how to eat without the stress of dieting.
Soon I began one-on-one training sessions with Pat. He is organized and extremely well-prepared. He knows what each of his clients is working toward and keeps focused on that goal. Pat has a huge heart and genuine compassion. He gives me the motivation and support that I really need.
So did I lose any weight? I am happy to report that I′ve lost approximately 60 pounds, half of my goal. I have also lost inches on my entire body and seriously toned many muscles. But what Pat and PT Transformations have done for me surpasses the numbers - I feel great! I feel strong and self-confident at last!
And I′ve recommended this team to friends who noticed my changes; now, they′re also working on changing their bodies – and, more importantly, their attitudes."

"I feel that I really improved on things that I wouldn't have without your help. I'm looking forward to trying out some of my new skills on the field. Thanks for taking your time with me and not rushing through things."
From Andrew and Kelly, Bristol, New Jersey
Personal Training clients
Goal: To get past a plateau we reached in fitness training
"We just want to say a big THANK YOU for all you [Patrick] have done for us over the past few months. We never dreamed we could have the results we′ve had in such a short time.
When we first thought about engaging a personal trainer, we expected a few tips and some validation of what we were already doing. But you have given us so much more. We didn′t know how much we didn′t know! As a result, we are worlds beyond where we might have been by just ″doing it on our own.″
We prize the humor and fun of our workouts a great deal. And you can take it as well as you can dish it out, which always earns our respect. Your patience is also greatly appreciated. You never seem to get frustrated when Andrew takes a little longer to grasp the step involved in an exercise, or when Kelly questions or challenges a concept.
Working with you has been incredibly motivating, even when you′re not present. When we′re tempted to scale back or skip a workout, we look at each other and think ″We can′t because we′ll see Pat tomorrow.″ When we conquer an especially difficult challenge, we think ″Pat would be so pleased.″
Finally, the encouragement you provide is invaluable. You have provided a support structure for us that we never would have dreamed about. To be perfectly frank, our life is better for having you in it."
From Mike, West Windsor, Pennsylvania
Youth Fitness Client
Goals: To lose weight and gain confidence
″When I started working with Patrick, I was 15 years old, 5' 8″ tall, and weighed 219 pounds. I was not able to run in my physical education classes or do push-ups, which was very embarrassing.
Since I have been working with Patrick, he′s helped me to explore different sports and activities like boxing, weightlifting, use of an exercise ball, and cycling. I have been able to incorporate these into my daily life. Patrick also teaches me about nutrition so that I am able to make better food choices. By making smarter choices, I can eat more than I ever thought I′d be able to, and still lose weight. In three months, I have lost more than 25 pounds!
For the first time in my life, I am not embarrassed to take off my shirt at the beach or pool. I never thought I′d be able to get more physically fit, but with Patrick′s help, understanding, and constant encouragement and support, he helped me to make it happen! And he made it fun, too!
If you feel discouraged about your weight and fitness like I did, then try working with Patrick. He made a big difference in helping me to reach my fitness goals, and I′m sure he′ll be able to help you, too!″
