Here are some testimonials from my clients:
"I decided to look for help in obtaining my exercise goals. Lawrence was highly recommended by the staff at my gym and after reviewing his expertise I attended one of his classes at SJCC. Lawrence was very patient and took the time to explain what each exercise does for my body and the best way to attain my goals... That day I worked muscles I forgot I had."

"My name is Sindy Hernandez. I have been a member at Pinnacle Fitness, now Bally Total Fitness, for over three years. In the last few months I have gotten to know Lawrence McNeil, I have trained with him a few times and I think he is very professional and treats his clients with respect. He is also very helpful when it comes to exercising and nutrition, he gives good advice on what one should be eating to keep a healthy body and mind.
Overall I think he is a skillful trainer and he encourages and at the same time provides help to his clients to make the working out experience a much comfortable experience."

"I am writing in regards to Lawrence McNeil, Personal Trainer at Bally Total Fitness, Pavilion Location. Lawrence has been my personal trainer since June 2006. I wanted to express how much I have enjoyed working with him over the last few months, and how excited I am to continue my fitness journey with him, in the months to come. Before I had started working with Lawrence, I was stuck in a day to day rut at the gym. Not realizing how bored, and unproductive my workouts were, Lawrence approached me in a professional manner, asking me what I wanted out of my workouts and how he could help me in my fitness goals. After speaking with him, I knew how important it was to change my direction and really move forward and challenge myself physically and mentally.
Lawrence has guided me as a coach and as a friend during each session. He pushes me to my limits, and encourages me to do the best I can, and even better than I ever thought I could. I look up to him as a mentor, and he respects me as a client, as a female, and as a friend. Since I have begun training with him, I feel like I have regained my youthfulness, and spirit, in terms of wanting to train harder, and be the best I can be. Our sessions are fun, challenging and full of new and rewarding experiences, in which I can use training outside from personal training. I am thankful to Lawrence, and his guidance, and would, and do recommend him to my friends who are also interest in challenging themselves. Lawrence really cares about his clients, works with them to accomplish their fitness needs, and really connects with not just me, but each of his clients to make it a fulfilling workout experience."

"This letter is in reference to Lawrence McNeil. I have been training with Mr. McNeil for 2 months now. I find his knowledge and expertise is exceptional. He not only applies his knowledge during our training sessions but after the session as well. Out of all the trainers I have used over the years, he is very compassionate about his job and his clients needs. It takes some organization and good time management to set up a training schedule that keeps me interested in the next session. Some trainers tend to a routine training sessions, where he mixes it up. He focuses not only on the job but my health as well. I hope to see Mr McNeil excel in his field of expertise as well as his employment with your company."

"I was first introduced to Ballys Total Fitness by a friend in early July 2006. After a week of checking out the facility as a Guest and seeing if the gym suited my needs, I soon joined as an official member. I met Lawrence the first week at the gym. He approached me and introduced himself as one of the personal trainers at the facility. He was very friendly and he made me feel comfortable. He also let me know that if I had any questions, I could approach him at any time.
When I joined, I chose Lawrence to give me my first workout and personal assessment training. From the get-go, I had a good feeling about him. We conversed about what I wanted to accomplish by working out at the gym. He told me that he would focus my workout sessions around my goals so that I can get the maximum results. I knew he was there to help me get to my fitness goals. He made it known that we were a team and we were going to work together to accomplish them. I felt really good after my first session and I knew that if I were to purchase a personal training package, he would be the one Id choose as my trainer.
I can honestly say that Ive been hooked. I decided to try out the personal training with Lawrence and have not regretted it one bit. He really makes me work during our sessions and he pushes me. If I am not in the proper form, he stops me and shows me the correct way. I can tell that he is very knowledgeable in what he does. He not only advises me during our workouts, but also in my everyday life. He makes sure that I eat properly and am taking good care of myself. I am always excited for the next workout. I have noticed a huge change in me, not only physically, but mentally as well. Thanks to Lawrence, I totally love the way I feel!!
I started off with a small personal training package to try it out and see if it works for me. I was so impressed by Lawrences skills and his vast understanding of the human body, that after the initial package of 8 sessions was complete, I decided to sign up for 24 more sessions with him!!
At present, I continue to have more sessions with Lawrence and I know that with his expertise and his coaching, I will soon reach my fitness goals!!"

Lawrence has shown great improvement here at Bally Total Fitness. As a supervisor it is always hard to find employees that are willing to go the extra mile, but with Lawrence one does not even have to ask, he just does it. Lawrence's hard work is apparent, he started as front desk staff and than promoted to personal trainer. Lawrence's dedication and hard work for Bally Total Fitness is outstanding and we are happy to have him as apart of the Bally team."

"I have been a member at Ballys since January 2005. When I first joined the gym, I was told that I could have 5 free personal training sessions as a gift for joining Ballys. I have never been big on personal training, but I decided to give it a try since the sessions were free. I only ended up using 2 of the sessions. While the trainers I worked with were helpful, I just wasnt sold on the idea of committing to meet someone a couple times per week who would show me things that I figured I already knew how to do.
Since that time, I have met several trainers at Ballys who have offered to start training me, but I did not take up anyones offer. After talking with Lawrence several times about training, I finally agreed to have him train me. He was always very professional when we spoke, and I could tell he was very passionate about what he does. His warm personality helped soothe my uneasiness about training and made me feel comfortable at the gym. In addition to training, he has offered me advice on health and fitness and has followed up with me regarding my diet and exercise regime. I think Lawrence is a wonderful trainer and a great asset to the Ballys team.

"My name is Christian Vera and I have been a Bally Total Fitness member for approximately 3 months. Prior to becoming a member I was very unconvinced about carrying on with a workout routine and healthier lifestyle. During one of my first visits your trainer, Lawrence McNeil, conversed with me about health, nutrition and the importance of a workout routine. His guidance convinced me to become a member of the gym and I have been very happy with the results. I trained with Mr. McNeil and every time he was very motivational. He is an asset to your team."

"I started working with Lawrence as my personal trainer in June 2006. In three months, I lost four dress sizes, gained a respectable amount muscle tone and seriously increased my cardio capacity. Before Lawrence, I would spend hours in the gym and do monotonous repetitive things that we all have learned over the years. Lawrence subscribes to a full-body/plyometic workout philosophy, this way you're making the most of your valuable time and getting maximum results in the process. Instead of doing one set of lunges on their own, you end up doing a lunge and jump up with weights held over your head.
He has shown me that there is no easy way to lose weight, that it comes down to hard work and determination. And you can't eat whatever you want just because you exercise. He goes above and beyond what any other personal trainer would ever do. He continually keeps track of my goals and reminds me what it's going to take to get me to reach them. He provides ongoing support and talks me down from the ledge when I want a piece of cake!
With Lawrence, it's not only about being at the gym, but looking at the entire world as your playground. Sidewalks, stairs, parks, school tracks, benches and chairs are all fine substitutes for the gym. Thanks to Lawrence I'm never bored with a workout, it's always fun all the time!"
