Testimonials

I’ve been training with Jim for a year and feel much better for it.  I like to be active but have some persistent and challenging back problems.  Jim listens to my concerns, tailors the workouts to my needs and goals, and constantly pushes me to get stronger. The trainers at Nittany Custom Fitness are knowledgeable, empathetic, and skilled at keeping the workouts efficient and interesting.  I’ve worked with several different trainers at various clubs in the area, but I’ve had far more success here than anywhere else.  I’m golfing, biking, and walking, so I couldn’t be more satisfied.  MBB (age 58)

Jim has been an instrumental part of my journey towards improved health, strength and weight loss.  As a psychotherapist, I spend most of my days sitting and my lifestyle had become more sedentary and I felt tired ALL the time.  I’m thrilled to say that I’m 30 lbs lighter, healthier and stronger than I’ve been in a long time! I feel like Jim is on this journey with me as he’s so motivating and helpful in keeping me on track with my goals.  He makes himself available between workouts to answer any questions I have or if I just need some encouragement.  I highly recommend Jim and Nittany Custom Fitness to my clients, family members and friends.  I’ve even gotten my husband to work out there!

Both my husband and I have been working with Nittany Custom Fitness for almost two years.  Having such qualified training in such a wonderful facility means we stick with it, and the results have gone beyond our hopes.  For my husband, it means renewed strength for his surfing passion through middle age.  For me, it has helped alleviate pain in my shoulder and neck from previous injuries, and has allowed me to maintain an active lifestyle as well.  

Nittany Custom Fitness is clean, fun, well-maintained, and a welcoming place to spend time. Jim and the staff are terrific: knowledgeable, informative, and friendly. This fitness center is in a class of its own.  For us, there really is no better facility/fitness program in the region. Personalized attention has enabled us to meet our goals (and stick with it) in organized studio with a caring and very enjoyable atmosphere. 

Nittany Custom Fitness picks up where physical therapy left off. It’s is a completely different kind of support. Jim has been able to identify muscle imbalances and is working with me to help me function better and get stronger while accommodating a chronic pain issue I have had for years. He is a great motivator and challenges me to overcome my body's weaknesses while being mindful of the limitations of my pain issue. He continually adapts my workouts, sometimes on the fly, as we together determine how my body is reacting and adapting. I know I couldn’t have made so much progress without his help. Jim and Nittany Custom Fitness is an important part of my life.
