"I’ve worked with Ben Jackson for over 5 months and have gone from a size 8-10 to a size 2-4! I was motivated to get in better shape for my daughter’s wedding, but along the way I realized life changing benefits from consistent training, such as increased energy, positive attitude, enjoyment of physical exercise, increased self-confidence, better posture and physical transformation. I also have increase my endurance playing tennis and have been able to move up a rank from 3.0 to 3.5! I’ve had lots of questions regarding diet, supplements, routines, etc. and Ben always supplies me with information and guidance. I would highly recommend his services to anyone."

"I wanted to get in shape – wanted it enough to try several programs before I met Ben Jackson, CEO of New Direction Fitness. I tried other personal trainers, but never got the results I wanted, or the sense of accomplishment. As soon as I stated working out with Ben I was impressed with his knowledge and his confidence in what he loves doing, which made it comfortable working with him. Ben urges me to do well during our training sessions, and is constantly sharing with me nutritional tips and healthier eating habits. I’m not only feeling stronger and healthier, but also happier. I’m almost in that bikini! I’ve lost close to 15 pounds, and 2 dress sizes. My family and friends have all commented on my progress. And my husband is thrilled to have a healthier and younger looking wife! But best of all, I finally see and feel like I am in shape.

"Training with Ben has been the best investment in myself that I have ever made! I have and will continue to refer people that want to look and feel better to New Direction Fitness."

"I’ve always enjoyed exercise and physical activity. But, when I turned 50, I found myself faced with the dreaded "middle age spread." I knew it was time to turn up the intensity of my workouts and get out of my regular routine.

"Working with the New Direction Fitness staff has helped me learn new ways to challenge myself, stay active, and stave off weight gain that can be associated with hormone changes. I'm learning how to nourish my body differently as well as set goals that I never thought I could achieve. It's paying off by giving me more energy, confidence, and strength!"

"It is with great satisfaction that I recommend the personal fitness coaching services at New Direction Fitness. I found out that I was pregnant soon after starting with Brian, and I am so happy that I did! With their guidance and motivation, I was able to safely complete an exercise program throughout my entire pregnancy. They tailored my program to fit my growing needs, and waistline! I had more energy, endurance, and less weight again than with my previous two pregnancies. I felt great and kept my momentum going, which was vital to starting exercising once I had healed and received my doctor's permission.

"My trainer at New Direction is knowledgeable, flexible, and fun to work with. I have lost the baby weight and then some, using the techniques that he taught me. I feel more confident and enjoy knowing that I am making wise decisions for my body, mind and spirit. My self confidence and the energy I have to tackle my household mommy/CEO duties are the biggest pay-offs, that and knowing that I CAN achieve the success I want."
