“Manny:
I would like to thank you for showing me a different approach to my strength and endurance training, and most of all for helping me to improve my diet. During the summer of 2003 I decided to take a chance at working with you based on your background as a competitive athlete and a creditable trainer and I have been very happy with that decision.
One of my biggest problems as a professional athlete was losing weight and experiencing early fatigue during the NHL season. Also, after several weeks of an intense game schedule and traveling 2 to 4 times a week it was hard to maintain peek performance all season.
After training with you, during the 2003/ 2004 season I was able to maintain my body weight of 208 lbs and played at peek performance all game and for months at a time without having to take a break. I was given the title of NHL Florida Panther player of the year, best average game saves and nominated for the Vezina trophy along with 2 other NHL goalies for best goalie in the league. I enjoyed working with you during the off season and look forward to taking my game to the next level doing my job as a Florida Panther, breaking new records, and becoming NHL goalie of the year.
Thank you,”
“Manny:
I would first like to let you know how much myself and the other Georgia Bulldogs appreciate you leaving Florida on one days notice for two weeks to make sure we were ready for our NFL pro date. It was definitely a boot camp experience. Thank you for putting up with my not so enthusiastic attitude for two weeks of which I thought you were trying to kill me. For sure you made us do what we had to do whether we liked it or not. There were plans of duct tape, garbage bags & a trip to the woods from time to time, but we weren’t sure what the outcome might be.
Then we met again in Florida where you put me up for 10 weeks. We trained hard three times a day and rehabbed my hamstring which I injured while at training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars. At the end of those 10 weeks, as you would say mission accomplished. I lost a total of 51 lbs of body weight. Body fat melted away and the muscle just packed on week after week. I left Coral Springs in the best shape ever, doing pull ups, push ups, running 40 yard and 100 yard dashes like a wide receiver. My speed, agility and flexibility was to a level that I didn’t think was achievable for a Line man my size 6’-6” and 315 lbs of solid Big Jacks.
Most of all I appreciate the guidance and friend ship that we have built. This is sure to last a life time. I’m taking off to NFL Europe to show the scouts what Big Jacks is all about. Thanks again for all your help. See you again soon.”
I am a long time client of One to One Fitness and have been training with Rich Alvarez for over 15 years. During that time period Rich has helped me to get in the best shape of my life & also helped me to maintain my figure. I am now in my mid-fifties and have some physical limitations due to arthritis. However, Rich has helped me to work around these issues and do the best that I possibly can. Rich is very knowledgeable and always custom tailor a workout just for me. He knows which exercises I can and cannot do, and he always encourages me to push myself so that I can maximize my workout. Rich has been a great trainer and a great friend. He always makes training so much fun and I look forward to working out every morning. I would highly recommend him to people of all ages and all physical abilities
"I've really enjoyed working out with Jesse, as well as the culture at one to one fitness. Jesse is very knowledgeable and was able to customize a program that creates demonstrable gains in both the gym and on the golf course. As a Father of 2 young boys, the additional energy has had a significant impact in my everyday life."
