TESTIMONIALS
I have been training with Derrick for almost 9 months now, and he has done nothing but go ABOVE and BEYOND! I was born with physical issues in one of my hips, and Derrick has really helped me with my range of motion in my hip. He has also helped with my self-confidence in being able to do thing at the gym, which has stopped me 99% of the time before! I have gotten stronger overall because of my training with Derrick. I can tell he truly cares about his clients!

Derrick was instrumental in helping me to rehab a shoulder injury with his personal training. He went above and beyond to find shoulder exercises that would improve my strength and range of motion. I have also gained significant overall strength and conditioning by working with Derrick over the last year.

Derrick is a fantastic trainer, a wonderful person, and I am happy with the results I achieved while working with him for 6 months. Before hiring him, I weighed the most I’d ever weighed all my clothes were too tight, and my mental health suffered as a result. I decided to join a gym and commit to a trainer. I feel like the health benefits far exceed the expense of having a trainer. Derrick helped me get my groove back and sold me on the importance of lifting weight to achieve results. When I was starting out with him, it was December and holiday parties were in full swing and my diet wasn’t where it should be to see results. In January he started enforcing diet and nutrition changes which set my results into overdrive. He enforced the cold hard truth about diet and exercise that helped me succeed more than I thought possible. He doesn’t rely on gimmicks or fads, but tried and true methods. I have greatly improved my relationship with food and alcohol, lost 15 lbs., and can fit into my clothes again. I have an athletic background and have had a trainer in the past, but I learned more than I ever thought possible while working with him. Now I use the smith machine regularly, which seemed too intimidating to me before. I feel like I’ve awoken muscles in my body that I never knew were there! As an (almost) 40 year old woman that underestimated the amount of new knowledge and skills I could learn, I’ve gained confidence, strength, made my body more durable, lowered by A1C and bad cholesterol, reduced body pain, and lost weight. I’m still a work in progress and I’m not always perfect, but I’m encouraged by Derrick’s advice he gave me'; as easy as it is to slip into bad habits, it’s always just as easy to bounce back. Thank you Derrick for the life-changing results.

When I first started training with Derrick in July 2023, I was over 400 lbs. I refused to let him take a before picture. As of today, I am down almost 200 lbs. and had no issues with taking pictures. At the beginning of our training, I had knee pain any time I would do a squat. Derrick helped me work through that knee pain in order to help me reach my goals. We concluded our training in July of 2024 after I had lost over 120 lbs. As of today, I am down to 218 lbs. He checks in with my randomly to ensure I’m still on the right path. I would recommend training with Derrick in order to help you reach your health and fitness goals.

I’ve been working with Derrick for about a year. He is great! I’m in a regular workout routine thanks to him and am definitely stronger and feel overall healthier. I had an ankle injury for part of the time and he geared my routine to aid in a faster recovery. He also makes working out fun… if you want long lasting results, he is the trainer for you!

I’ve been working with Derrick for about 10 months. I initially signed up for 6 months, but extended it because I was happy with the results. Derrick trains in a way that is fun, motivating, and most importantly safe. There isn’t any pressure to do more than you are comfortable with or capable of. He works with what you have. This is my first experience working with a trainer and it’s been life changing. I am more mobile and weight-training has gone from being something I do occasionally to a regular routine in my life. When I started, I could barely deadlift 95 pounds, now I am up to 175 pounds. I could only do push-ups on my knees, now I can bench press about 65% of my body weight. Derrick also has a lot of knowledge of body mechanics and worked with me through a couple of minor injuries to my ankles, knees, and shoulders that I acquired through martial arts. With the rehab work that he incorporated, I recovered from these injuries while continuing training in about 4 weeks.

I would like to tell you about my very positive experience with Derrick. He has been providing me personal training guidance from October 2024- March 2025. Derrick took the time with me to understand my fitness goals. He also asked about any physical limitations. He explained that any appreciable progress would take at least 90 days. While I was skeptical, he was totally right. Derrick employed a progressive resistance approach to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. All aimed at improving my golf swing to achieve better yardage distances. We met weekly and Derrick designed a new routine for me to follow. I was able to follow these routines and workout 3-5 times the following week. Week by week, I was getting stronger and improved flexibility. The results were fantastic. I had started this process with frozen shoulder. These exercises greatly improved the mobility and strength in this area. Two years ago, I had a total knee replacement surgery. These exercises greatly improved the strength of surrounding muscle groups and flexibility. I no longer struggle to walk up/down stairs, or stand up from a seated position. But most of all, my golf game has improved significantly. I attend lessons/practice sessions at GolfTec. They employ video camera and OptiMotion technology to scientifically and quantify key swing parameter measurements. I saw vast improvements in my shoulder, back, and hip turns. The result is I’m back to hitting the ball as far as I did when I stated playing golf in my 40’s. I should mention that I just celebrated my 69th birthday. In closing, I found Derrick to be a terrific human being. He prescribed great direction in terms of the array of exercises to follow. He provided me compassion and consideration for my limitations. He demonstrated and corrected any technique issues along the way. He was both patient and demanding when he needed to be. I look forward to see how far I can go with my fitness level with this new found knowledge. I feel I’ve also made a new friend and hope to get together with him on the golf course.

I’m glad Jack trains with Derrick. He has really helped him. He used to have severe depression. Working out regularly with Derrick has changed him for the better and has helped his self-confidence. I think more parents should have a Derrick Green in their kid’s life.
