TESTIMONIALS
- MARIA
- I had a great time at North Star Fitness! I like the private setting and the cleanliness of the gym. The community of staff/trainers & trainees is great too! I had Brett as my personal trainer and he encouraged me a lot throughout my journey. I have 0 fitness experience and Brett guided me along the way - always answering my questions and helping me understand all of the exercises we do! When I was hesitant of what I can do, he encouraged me to try. To my surprise, I ended up exceeding my expectations for myself & felt extra confident after. On top of all that, he was also very flexible & patient with my schedule and has good humor. I will choose Brett as my personal trainer again when I get back to it!

- Having previously worked with other trainers, I came into this experience with a background in weight training and cardio, simply looking to get back on track after a long hiatus. During his initial assessment, Brett quickly identified areas that were contributing to pain and imbalance. In less than a month, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in strength and alignment. Brett brings a deep well of knowledge and customizes each session to fit your specific needs and goals. He takes the time to clearly explain both the "what" and the "why" behind every movement and approach. His sessions are not only informative but also uplifting—he brings positivity, motivation, and humor that make the process both enjoyable and sustainable. His encouraging presence truly makes it easier to stay committed and focused.
