I have worked with Peter since late January 2023. My goal was to lose the baby weight I put on from my pregnancies and to improve my mood and energy. I was 120 lbs when we started training and now I am 105 lbs. In the past 3 months of working with him, he has always been professional and helpful. He has been patient and helpful regarding questions whether it was about training or nutrition.

I am extremely happy with the results of training with him. I feel much more confident wearing new clothes and I have more energy to take care of my children. I really recommend Peter to anyone looking to improve their health and lifestyle.

I have been seeing Peter for the better part of the year now. I was skeptical at first given my inexperience with personal gym trainers and my unsuccessful attempts at improving my lower back pain seeing a number of Chiropractors and PTs. I found him via Google reviews, set up a consultation with him and boy did he knew his stuff. He listens to you, is polite, and is extremely knowledgable of his crafts. He honestly tries to understand your ‘personal’ needs, body demands and ‘trains’ keeping your priorities in mind as opposed to his (hence in the most true sense - a personal trainer). He is very accommodating when it comes to schedules and day-to-day exercises based on how you feel and whats your goal for that day/week. He is very punctual and doesn’t let one session time slip into the next one, hence making sure you always have your full time for your work-out/session. He would also go the extra mile to research about specific questions you pose at him to make sure he continuously understands your evolving needs and concerns. Its always great to find a good gym buddy, luckily for me, I have found mine in my trainer.

I have significantly improved my muscular flexility, ability and strength. I am more knowledgable about my general body dynamics and look forward to my weekly sessions with Peter as opposed to just checking the box coz my paid the money. I would highly recommend FC50 to anyone who’s looking for a more human touch personal training experience.

The only regret I have is that I didn’t find him sooner! Kudos to you, Peter - keep up the good work!!

I've (37 male) been training at FC50 for almost a year now, and the transformation has been incredible. Prior I had issues with movement and general fitness spending a lot of time at my desk working. My strength has improved significantly, and I owe a lot of it to Joe, who's an outstanding trainer. He's incredibly focused on technique, which has been key in reducing the pain in my shoulders and knees but also helps me work out efficiently and safely.

The accountability at FC50 is unmatched, and the dynamic workouts always challenge my weak points, making me progressively stronger. I've learned so much about fitness and my own body. If you're serious about getting stronger and improving your health and wellbeing, FC50 is the place to be.

I normally I don't take time to go online and write a review, however I have received seriously outstanding service. My experience training with Peter at FC50 fitness has profoundly altered my workouts, my ideas about exercise and a healthy lifestyle. right before the covid shutdown, I had a knee replacement and gained over 30 pounds. I was depressed, menopausal and ready to give up. This was just going to be me now. Then, I decided, maybe with the right help, advice direction, and support their was still hope. But I didn't want to pay a big box gym to set me up with some trainer giving me the scripted workouts. If I was going to do this, I had to be serious and disciplined! And i had to find someone who cared about "my" results. Someone knowledgeable and compassionate. I found that with Peter! I had met with a few other trainers, and knew almost immediately when I met Peter he was the one! and I was right! I have made amazing progress for an out of shape 62 year old woman! Even with my knee issues. Peter is very informed and always careful that I'm not injured. My body fat dropped from what I was told 29% to 17.75 and a month later to 15.4! I feel wonderful and my confidence is through the roof! On top of all that, i really enjoy my workouts and Peter is a very pleasant person to be around. Kitty Cameron

Working with Peter during my fitness journey has been many things - all positive! He knows when and how to push you when you think you can’t do anymore. He also knows when to take a step back when you know you can’t do anymore.

He is super attentive to your fitness needs and does a great job and making sure you understand what is happening to your body when you do certain exercises, and if you are like me all that information motivates me when I am working out alone. He listens to what is happening with your body and makes sure your body is able to do the exercises beforehand. Modifications happen, but if you are experiencing any type of pain Peter will readjust or change the workout to ensure you do not hurt yourself.

Another thing I will say was working with Peter made me feel the improvement of the muscles we were working on that week. Emotionally I felt accountable to work out and when I wasn’t I was mindful of what I was doing each day. Be it stretches, a long walk or just eating better.

In terms of pricing, for a personal trainer I would say Peter makes himself accessible at multiple price points. PT is expensive yes, but as investment in yourself, I couldn’t have asked for a better coach!

Overall great training experience with Peter. I would highly recommend giving Peter a try if you enjoy a great trainer, coach and learning about various training plans and exercises that are unique.

Training provides the slow grind towards my goals but there is definite value as I have a better gym/life balance and I make more meaningful time in the gym.

I’ve trained at FC50 Fitness with Peter for about a month now. It’s absolutely my favorite time of the week and I would highly recommend it to others. The owners of the facility seem like genuinely nice people and have all the necessary equipment for a full gym experience. Peter is like the best friend you wish you always had. He is very responsive even when I am not at the gym, and he occasionally checks up on my own development and progress even at home. In the gym he is very professional, constantly reminding me to stay on pace and to push myself to achieve my goals. His exercises, in my opinion, are highly effective. For example, I have dealt with a back problem for several weeks, we began addressing the associated muscle groups and now I’m beginning to feel much better. All this to say that if you have reached a point in your life that you believe you need a trainer to help you reach your health goals, Peter is an excellent trainer who has a genuine interest in seeing you succeed. Take the leap! Give him a call and change your life for the better!

Training with Peter and Jasmine has been a great experience! I joined FC50 because I wanted to learn how to exercise more safely and effectively. I’ve been training with Jasmine for three months now and I feel so much more confident in my form and I’m seeing consistent progress. I learn something new every session and I genuinely enjoy my hour at their gym. It’s clear that the trainers really care about you and are just good people overall. I’d highly recommend supporting this local business!
