Hear what people who follow my fitness programs are saying about THEIR success …

"I worked out off and on at the gym for years with minor results. At age 43, I had given up on ever reducing my ever-increasing waistline. At the advice of a friend, I started working with Jim Hart and using his exercise and nutrition program. In the first two months there were more changes in my body than in all the years of working out on my own! With Jim's advice on how to exercise, and what foods to eat, I'm getting a great body for the first time in my life!"

"I've been training with Jim Hart for more than five years. The results? A tight, fit, and healthy 60 year old man! Jim is not only an excellent trainer, but a positive force in terms of my overall health. His knowledge of nutrition, food and exercises that really work is fantastic, which has made me stronger both physically and mentally. I can honestly say my progress is not only measured by increased energy, endurance, and flexibility, but also by the lack of general ailments, such as colds and flu. I look and feel better than ever!"

"Four years ago, Jim Hart led me on the path from pudgy to fit, from easily tired to hard to tire. I tried for years to lose fat, build muscle, and eat right by following the advice of presumably "reliable sources." For most of my twenties I averaged over 5 hours a week running, playing sports, and doing push ups and sit ups well beyond what should have been required to stay in shape. However, in shape I was not!

Fortunately, I met Jim around my 30th birthday. His practical advice on nutrition, his sage experience with strength, and his upbeat, professional, and supportive style struck a chord with me. Jim truly motivated me to make a permanent lifestyle change. I've gone from a 36" waist to under 30". My arms are bigger, my chest is noticeably larger, and my legs can run like I couldn't when I was 20! Even though I'm a little superstitious, I'm almost ready to get rid of the last vestiges of my "fat boy" clothes! Jim's had a significant affect on my life, that's for sure."

"There is something about Jim Hart that makes you want to succeed. I've been working out regularly for about 13 years, but something really changed for me when I started Jim's program. In the first six months, I lost 15 pounds, and I have kept it off one year later. I radically changed my poor eating habits, thanks largely to Jim's insistence that I keep a regular food journal. I also have notable muscle growth - I've received many compliments about the changes in my body! Even my harshest critic - ME - can see and feel the difference. Jim relieves the drudgery of working out by providing new workout routines on a regular basis, and he helps me to set realistic goals while serving as a role model who inspires me to keep coming back for more."

"From the spring of 1993 to the spring of 2003, I'd never worn a shirt tucked into my pants. I had a 38" waist, felt old, felt at the twilight of my life. As a cancer "survivor" I thought I'd live out my life as a tired, old man with a regular bench in the park! I didn't like myself and shopped for the cheapest large t-shirts and pants with elastic waists I could find. In November 2002, I read Jim Hart's "Fat to Muscle Challenge" with a high degree of cynicism and thought, "Yeah, right! I can have a great body, be sexy, etc. Ha!"

Well, I decided to give it a chance. I gave up my bad eating habits and my evenings in front of the TV with a bottle of wine, and me - who had never even been near a gym in his life - joined the gym and began working out with Jim. Just 5 months later, I am hearing comments about how buff I look as I pass people at sidewalk cafes. Incredibly - people at the gym ask me how many years I've been working out and I tell them, "Not years, months!"

I still find my new body and good health unbelievable, and it's so flattering as an older man to have women in their 40s (even 30s!) come talk to me when I'm out. One can always find another trainer, but can one find a trainer that knows nutrition, offers fantastic recipes, knows how to teach, knows the best method for developing fat-burning muscle, and can actually INSPIRE you to keep at it? Jim's plan for building muscle and burning fat through targeted exercise and good nutrition is a "can't fail" method to get the body you want AND to feel great while doing it. Hey - I lost 50 pounds in 10 months and built muscle like you wouldn't believe. If I can do it, you can, too!"

"Jim Hart's program is the most rewarding long-term weight loss system I have found in 25 years of yo yo dieting."

Mark S., Philadelphia, PA


"Jim Hart provides a simple, straight forward, no nonsense fitness and nutrition plan anyone can follow. Even a food lover and restaurant junkie like me!"

Paul P., New Hope, PA


"I was amazed how quickly the fat started disappearing around my midsection and, unlike with other diets, Jim Hart's program kept my energy level sky high with NO hunger pangs!"

Ron S., Princeton, NJ


"As a 57 year old experienced fitness buff, I was skeptical at first. But Jim Hart's program showed me new possibilities and gave me the body I had always dreamed about."

Rob C., Hoboken, NJ


"Jim Hart is great. He helped me keep my commitment to finish the program even when my motivation and enthusiasm began to fade. For once in my life I'm able to say I reached my goal and lost 30 lbs!">

Richard M., Wilmington, DE

"Jim Hart has been my personal trainer for almost three years. Jim listened to MY goals and then personalized a fitness routine using strength training and cardiovascular that fits my (super!) busy life and keeps me in excellent shape. Jim's program is incredible … it's not just about gaining muscle … it's a more "global" approach to exercise, nutrition and … well, lifestyle coaching! My general health and my fitness level have improved by at least 100% since I started using Jim's program. I would never consider using anything else!"
