" I lost 19 pounds and went from a size 14 to an 8 in 12 weeks!"
"I've always struggled with my weight...Two years ago, I lost sixty pounds, but I had slowly been gaining some of it back until one day, I realized I had gained twenty-five pounds back...
It was at this point I looked around the internet and found Joe's Boot Camp. I knew I was ready for it...Each week I would work on fine tuning my diet, until finally, I was able to eat what I was supposed to and then I started to see the changes come faster and more dramatically. I loved having the support of Denise in Falcon, both with the exercise and the diet. She was really helpful at me know what changes I should make and motivating me through the workouts. I love the way I look now, and the strength I have. When I look in the mirror, I see muscle tone and look so much fitter...now I have the tools and support I need to succeed. I lost 19 pounds and went from a size 14 to an 8 in 12 weeks!"

"We've lost 165 lbs. in 11 months!"
I have struggled with my weight since elementary school and several times over the years have lost a significant amount pounds only to gain them back… and more. Now at 47, my life is so awesome but my weight was ruining everything. My doctor refused my surgery request and instead suggested that I find a partner, find a personal trainer to hold me accountable every week.
My husband was overweight as well but I had never before included him on my diet efforts as I was just too embarrassed. Broken, I asked him to be my partner and gratefully, he agreed to train with me. Joe’s name was the first to come up in my search. Joe was a true God-send.
He insisted that the nutrition would be the biggest factor toward permanent weight loss. To that we added 30-minutes of in-home personal training three times a week. While I thought I was an expert on weight loss, I now realize how ignorant I was about true health and fitness. What has happened the last 11 months can only be called a miracle. I have lost 116 pounds (over 62 inches) and Mark has lost 50 pounds. But more important than the weight loss and the perks that come with being thinner, has been the freedom to choose supportive food and movement, as well as having renewed health.
Gone are the addictions to sugar, diet soda, fatty and processed foods. Gone is high cholesterol and being unable to walk or go up stairs without pain. I felt crappy for so long I didn’t even know what feeling good was like…and I still marvel at how good I feel. The food changes made an incredible difference in my menopause symptoms, depression and moodiness, and clear thinking.
We have stayed on our meal plan over holidays, vacations and company. It is possible! And it is amazing how empowering it is! We are expecting our first grandbaby this October. What a great reward that is! I am so grateful that God -through my doctor, my husband and Joe- has rescued and transformed me just in time. We plan to continue to use his custom meal plan and web food log, to meet with Joe monthly to weigh, measure and discuss issues but he has equipped us to finish this journey. I would have settled for being thin…and I would have missed the great benefit of good health for both of us and the great joy of having Mark as my partner in it."

"When LaJean first came to me about being her partner and getting a personal trainer, I thought getting in shape seemed like a lot of work and nearly impossible. My motivation was low but I wanted to support her. As we started to follow the meal plan Joe outlined and began training with him, it became more and more fun and I began to see results.
I started having more energy, began sleeping better and had greater endurance for such things as helping friends move. I’m happy with the muscle definition and tone I’m gaining and feel the best I’ve felt in years – 50 pounds lost, down from pant size 40 to 34, and I am no longer considered pre-diabetic!
This has been so much more than another program to lose weight as Joe’s plan has become our new lifestyle. I have a “new” wife and we are now better able to live life to the fullest."
