PERSONAL TRAINING RESULTS
"My name is Carl Paoli.
I have been a professional Stuntman in the movies for over 20 years. 7 months ago I found myself 25 pounds over weight.
After trying diets, running and uneducated workouts with no results, I figured I was just not as young as I used to be.
That is until John Turk started coaching me.
He is in unbelievable shape and the same age as me.
There was just no excuse.
It was a simple combination of education, proper training methods and whey protein.
As you can see, I am in better shape than I was 15 years ago.
So I took off 38 pounds and put on some lean mass.
Not easy but possible.
Better yet, worth it!
The only draw back is endless jealous comments. Also worth it!
Thanks John Turk, See you on the set."

"I have been weight training on my own for approximately 7 years.
For the past couple of years I hit a wall and had no idea how to get past it.
I contemplated whether or not I needed a trainer or if this was something I could break through on my own.
After years of going back and forth, I was referred to and enlisted the help of John Turk.
After 6 weeks on his tailored program my body fat percentage went from 16% to 5% and my muscle mass stayed the same in some areas and increased in others.
I was amazed at the results and I kicked myself that I had not contacted John sooner.
Needless to say, John is an exceptional trainer who understands the science behind exercise, health and nutrition and tailors programs to fit the individual needs of his clients."

"I have tried several personal trainers over the past 4 years with so-so results.
Since I started training with John, I've realized the difference a quality trainer can make!
He actually tells me how my body works, and teaches me why certain moves are important.
I am learning and seeing results and I actually enjoy working out.
It's now something I look forward too instead of something I have to do!"

"I came to Chicago personal trainer John Turk with a specific goal- to be ready to compete in my first bodybuilding contest at age 37.
I could spend alot of time talking about his effective tactics including humor, fresh tailored routines and his nutritional know-how but the bottom line is results!
I've had two other trainers in recent years but John's guidance and education has held the greatest power of transformation."

"I have been working out since I was fifteen years old. Most of my training and diet routines came from fitness magazines.
As hard as I tried, I continued to struggle with the last five pounds; at four foot eleven inches, that is A LOT.
When John and I started dating, he offered to help me with my fitness goals.
Although I was aware he was an expert in this field, I was fearful of letting him advise me, afraid he would make me "too big" or "bulky".
Frustrated with the results of doing it "my way", I finally decided to see where John could take me.
These are the results. Yes, I am kicking myself for not letting him help me sooner....like BEFORE our wedding!"

"For three years I dieted, worked out, and went through different trainers.
I not only didn't lose any weight, but gained!!!
I have a severe thyroid problem that makes it extremely difficult to lose weight. John is the only Chicago personal trainer who has had the inclination and patience to look at my individual situation and train me in the right way. He not only helped me in the gym, but also with diet, supplementation and motivation.
He set realistic goals for me and made sure I accomplished them.
I have lost 25 pounds and I have toned my body in a ways I never thought was possible."

"I am 37 years old and have always had trouble gaining weight.
I am your typical "hard gainer" and needed guidance for my long term goals.
In one year with Chicago personal trainer John Turk, I have gained 25 lbs. of muscle!
John has instilled knowledge, discipline, enthusiasm, and much more with how I workout and has paved a path for my nutritional health.
John is extremely dedicated and has given me amazing results.
He has highly varied workout routines and exercises that allow you to adjust for plateaus and to keep you growing and learning, mentally and physically.
I have never felt more motivated, confident and healthy."
Thanks John!

"I had never stepped inside a gym before.
I am 49 years old.
In September 2005, I approached Chicago personal trainer John Turk about working out.
From the first time I met him, John impressed me as a man who truly wishes to hlep people achieve their highest physical potential.
His passion for working out is infectious.
He packs an hour with customized workout rouines, advise about diet, cautionary information about injuries, and he shares stories about his own journey as a man of fitness.
To top it off, he keeps detailed records of everything concerning my workout plan.
It is now February 2006, five months from my first meeting with John.
In that time, I have lost weight and gained muscle in ways I didn't think were possible for me.
John is a good man to have on your side."
