Testimonials

I began working with Kevin over 10 years ago when I was on the cusp of becoming a “senior” and interested in warding off some of the conditions that go along with that status, such as osteoporosis, high cholesterol, and muscle aches. He has been masterful at motivating me week after week for years with exercise routines that are fun, sensible and accomplish the mission without applying the old exercise motto, “no pain, no gain.” I continue to be impressed with his motivation to continually grow professionally, updating and expanding his knowledge by attending educational courses. His understanding of the body’s anatomy and physiology contribute to his effectiveness as a trainer. He consistently brings new ideas and exercises to the workout room to keep things interesting and me in shape and in good health. And over the years, he’s worked with my husband, our three grown children and most recently our 6-year old grandson, teaching each of us best practices when it comes to staying fit. It’s been a wonderful family affair – everyone has benefitted and looks forward to a session with Kevin when they return home for a visit."

I began working with Coach Cleary in High School after my freshman year of football. I knew if I wanted to achieve athletic success, it was imperative that I build exceptional strength and speed. Within a short period of time, I noticed that Coach was not a typical personal trainer. He was an athletic coach, that would not only help you become the best athlete you could be, but he would help you in building certain intangibles that other trainers cannot produce. Coach Cleary's cutting age and innovative training methodology was imperative to my physical and mental progression as an athlete. His program is supported by a superior understanding of the mind and body. Coach's use of Olympic lifting and nervous system reactive speed training system were just two of the physical components that translated to elevated on-field performance. Over my 8 year training period, I saw tremendous gains in size, speed, strength, power and confidence. He instilled a tremendous work ethic that helped me become a leader on and off the field. In college, I utilized his training philosophy to produce a successful collegiate carrier as a four year starter and winner of Two Centennial Conferences Championships. I credit much of my athletic and personal success to Coach Cleary."

Coach Cleary's training and guidance helped me develop from a 6'2 200lb sophomore in high school to a 250lb defensive lineman at Dartmouth College. We created a plan for me to get bigger, faster, and stronger over time so that I could attract the attention of Ivy League scouts and succeed injury free at that level. Over my four year career at Dartmouth, I trained with Coach Cleary every summer and was a better player for it. His knowledge and passion for seeking out the latest training protocols were instrumental in my success and I could not be happier with the result. Along the way, he also evolved into a valuable mentor for me on the field and off it. Today, I'm proud to call him a close friend."
