About The Fitness Buddy
Customer Testimonials
Don't take our word for it. Here's what our customers say about The Fitness Buddy.
“I have been using The Fitness Buddy for about 2 months now and the results are breathtaking! I have more energy, I feel healthy and my double chin is has gone away. The exercises are well thought out with enough variety to keep it interesting and exciting. I also do a lot of traveling for work and The Fitness Buddy has allowed me to bring my own personal trainer with me so that I do not have to miss my workouts when I'm on the road. Also, the blogs on the site are very inspirational — I'm hoping to do a 60-mile bike ride by the end of the summer!”
“I wanted to thank you for the work you put into The Fitness Buddy program. For anyone looking for a common sense approach to working out or weight training I would highly recommend this program. There is a wealth of information in the binder but I especially like the photos of the exercise and simple explanations of what is going on. Hard to believe you were able to put this program together for so little money. This will be one of those staples that will always be in my workout bag. Thanks again!”
“I am not your typical shopper when it comes to hiring a personal trainer. My undergrad degree was in Kinesiology (think Exercise Physiology), I played three college sports, worked as a Physical Education instructor and have personally worked with a number of personal trainers over the past 20 years. Let's just say… for me to even consider hiring a personal trainer, you've got to have something extra special, something far beyond the basics.
Jim Ristow was exactly that. He not only met my high standards: strong knowledge base, professional, passionate, results-driven with a sound methodology, he exceeded my expectations. His approach is honest, simple and will get you results. His motivational style is authentic and uplifting and shouldn't it be, given his story? He's definitely not doing this for a paycheck — he's here to partner with you for transformation and he'll stop at nothing to inspire you to get there.
Oh yea, if all that isn't enough for you: He comes on vacation with you! Yep, I'm writing this from a vacation in Hawaii and right next to me is The Fitness Buddy, a very user-friendly fitness book that Jim put together that illustrates all the exercises and processes we work on together. So, he's never that far away! Talk about something extra, that itself puts him over the top!
So, if you're foolish enough to think you can't afford him as your personal trainer — at least get his book — it's the next best thing to hiring him!”
