Krystyn Snyder, Pittsburgh, PA, Age 28
"Since meeting Josh a little over a year ago I've lost 79 lbs!!! I had tried every different diet and training program out there. I would always gain the weight back or get injured doing a lot of cardio because that's how I thought you had to lose weight. I used to get wrapped around a number on the scale and get disappointed when I didn't make huge losses. Now I don't think I could even tell you what I weigh. I am happy when I look in the mirror or go try on dresses, my wedding dress was a size 26 and now I'm a size 12!! I can see the changes and know it's working for me. I have so much more energy and spend a lot more time with my husband doing recreational activities. I just finished the Pittsburgh Triathlon in July, winning 3rd place in my class! Josh has really helped me to understand nutrition and the huge role it plays in my weight loss and daily life. I can truly say that Josh, his training, and his guidance, has turned my life around!"
Congratulations to Krystyn Snyder for finishing the Pittsburgh Great Race 10K on Sunday September 27, 2009 with a time of 1:16:59!!
"We had been working out at a local club training for years with friends of ours. After a while you just get tired of being at the same place doing what seems like the same thing over and over. With our kids getting older and the weather getting warmer we thought it would be fun to take our workouts outside and involve the whole family. We asked Josh to come to our house and develop a 'fun-filled' family workout. He did a great job always keeping our muscles (and us) from getting bored. It's amazing the workout you can get with very little equipment. The kids really became hooked on exercise and even invited different friends over to share in what they considered fun! It's a great idea for all families!"

“I have been working with Josh for almost two years now and I love it! I have to say that what I like most is that he listens to me and my requests and designs workouts that keep me from getting bored. I never really worked out before on my own, but with Josh he pushes me to try new exercises I never thought I could even do. We have even started boxing, which has proved to be a great stress reliever! I have felt myself get a lot stronger, I have more energy, and I have a whole new outlook on staying healthy. Whatever your goals are, I know Josh makes reaching those goals fun and exciting, just like he has done for me!”

I have lost 83 lbs over the last two years while working with Josh! The best part is that through the nutritional guidance and lifestyle changes I learned with Hard Corp Training I have been able to keep it off!! Another great transformation in my life has been that I can keep up with my kids. Two years ago I was always tired and I was so embarrassed about the way I looked that I never wanted to go anywhere or do anything that was remotely physical. Now, I am the one suggesting different activities for all of us to enjoy. I feel better about how I look and my new attitude is seen by all around me. I never dreamed how strong I could be but with Josh's help I am doing and trying new things on a daily basis. My kids get a kick out of how much I can do and sometimes I even wear them out!. I look forward to seeing more changes and how much more I can learn!

I first met Jim Rolfe at a local club I used to work at in December of 2007. He came in to get a fitness assesment and I was lucky enough to perform it on him. Jim was 35 years old and he weighed in at 355.7 lbs! His body fat percentage was an astounding 31.4 percent and his flexibility was terrrible.
Eleven months later Jim asked me again if I could do another fitness assesment on him to measure the progress he had made on his own. This time we were both happy to see he had lost a significant amount of weight and body fat. He now weighed 289.7 and his body fat was 21.2 percent! Jim wanted to know what he could do to make more gains and make them fast. It was then that I introduced him to Metabolic Resistance Training. We worked together over the course of several months focusing on lifting heavy full body lifts with high intensity cardiovascular instead of just steady state running. Here is what Jim looks like now and what he has to say!
I started at 361 and am now 225….and shrinking! I am stronger, faster, and more flexible than ever…in my life! As well as the lightest in my teenage/adult life…..since 5th grade! No joke. It is possible to do this without drugs and without enhancements, and without surgery….I am the proof that hard work and determination combined with major lifestyle changes and the sound advice of a great trainer works and it works long-term.

Josh, Thank you very much for all of your help. You are by far the best person I ever had help me train for weightlifting. You were very patient, understanding, and made it very simple to learn without any derogatory comments some trainers use. Without your help I would never have been able to pass my test this month. You were able to correct my lifting form and increase my bench press by 10lbs in only 2 weeks, also restoring confidence in myself.
Thank you,
Steven A. Fulem
