After several less-than-fantastic experiences with trainers when I was younger, I wasn't sure how to find a "good" one for me. Luckily a friend recommended The Body Transformation Group and JP. JP not only listened to my goals and concerns but has continued to stick with them even if they're not your typical goals. His classes are small so that everyone gets the focus they need. His top priorities are good form and injury prevention, and his classes focus on complex movements that work lots of muscle groups at once and have application in other aspects of life. On top of all that, his prices are very manageable! Starting at BTG is definitely one of my better life choices and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Update 2 years later:
Over two years later, I am editing my review to confirm that training at BTG Fitness has continued to be one of the best investments of time and effort to which I've ever committed. My improvements in strength and mobility show in all areas of my life: better posture at work, fewer general aches and pains, being able to move well and safely, carrying more groceries in one trip (it's important!). I feel strong and good in my body, which is something I didn't think possible before.
The BTG approach to health and fitness is holistic, tackling it from all angles. JP is a trainer who cares not just about the hour or two you see him every week, but also in your stress levels, sleep, nutrition, enjoyment of movement, and exercise outside of his gym. Whether you love fitness or want to love fitness (but don't know where to start), I cannot recommend BTG highly enough.
