Russell is fabulous!! He is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in the field of fitness. He understands my goals and capabilities and has devised a personal and comprehensive program for me that has really worked! I started training with him 2 yrs ago after not having stepped foot in the gym in years. I have lost weight and inches!! Most importantly I have developed a commitment to staying fit and made a wonderful friend!! Thank you Russell!!

I took my son, who plays soccer, to Russell. He worked specifically on skills related to soccer such as turning more efficiently, bursts of speed, proper running technique and endurance. Even though it was a very limited training as he was leaving in four days. He's now in Sweden trying out for a pro team. When I asked if the training helped he said, "definitely". He's glad he did it, it really helped a lot.

Russell Deane has trained me and my wife for more than two years. He is always diligent to learn more of his trade with continued education, to better help with our training needs. He gives great one-on-one training sessions. His regimen has strengthened me and my wife, helping us get stronger as we grow older. Several times we have scheduled training sessions with Russell for out-of-town family members, and he gave them the same high quality experience that we are used to receiving. The times when I came to the training session with aching and sore muscles from injuries or yard work Russell applied

The training is top notch regarding the quality of the equipment, his knowledge and training technique, personality and relational skills. I thoroughly enjoyed getting worked to the point of complete exhaustion and having such a fulfilled feeling afterward. The best workouts are the ones that leave you tapped out by the end. Russell definitely works you as hard as you are willing to go. Results are noticeable too.

Wow. I thought I knew what a good workout was before I joined Russell with a few of my friends. I walked out of XCEED exhausted...but feeling great about what I had just accomplished. Russell was very attentive to each of us and worked diligently to help us all work on our different goals. He was motivating and allowed me an awesome workout! Hands down- best personal training I've seen!
