REAL PEOPLE with REAL NAMES talking about REAL RESULTS!

Our belief at Team LP Fitness is that no one is ever to "young" nor to "old" to come experience the AWESOME WORKOUTS that lead to AWESOME RESULTS.

Question!? HOW BAD DO YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT IT!?

 
 


 

 
 
 
 

Dana and Ali Di Luvio: Father/Daughter team in training. How AWESOME is this!

I was introduced to LP by my daughter Ali in the fall of 2005. Ali had been attending Chizzled classes and working out at LP's studio for about a year and a half before that. She met LP through her boss, Madi. In the beginning Ali and I would run together on the weekends, but I had never taken any kind of official “class”. On our Saturday morning runs she would tell me about the training she was doing and I could certainly see how it was changing her body and her outlook on life – all for the better! Finally she convinced me to come and check out the Studio Fitness Playground. The running I was doing was OK, (I even finished my first half marathon at 55 years old) but I was not getting the results I wanted. I was in a rut.

   

I started taking a few personal training sessions with LP and found how motivating he could be. I moved to small group sessions a few times a week and started to see results.
  
When Chizzled moved to Fusion Fitness I decided to give it a try. I had never done any kind of class like this before. I had a fear of looking dumb in some kind of choreographed “jazzercise” class. Ali insisted it was nothing like that, so I gave it a shot; after all it was working for her. Needless to say, my fears were groundless, the classes are awesome! 
  
In the past two years Ali has lost 80 pounds and I have dropped 30 pounds (and probably relocated another 10 or 12). At 60 years old I feel stronger and healthier than I did in my 30’s or 40’s. I exercise at least 4 hours every week and actually enjoy it. LP is a great motivator and “knows a little bit” about health and training.
 
Thanks, LP!  
    

Check out this AWESOME father/daughter team!!

Madeline Major: 66 years young, 13 year client of Team LP Fitness

I have been training with Team LP for more than 15 years now. I also have been attending his “CHIZZLED” classes 2 nights a week. The benefits are too great to ever stop! I am 66 years young; I tell LP I will still be training with him when I am 80 years old! This is one of the best gifts I give to myself…...

Dear LP,
All I can say is thanks. I have seen a huge improvement in the way I play sports. I have seen a huge change in what I do everyday. Looking back at the first time I went to you, I have see an improvement in everything I do. It was amazing working with you and thanks for believing in me.  All I can say is thanks. You have shown me how to stay positive. You have inspired me so much. I hope I can come back later this year.
Thanks,

I have been training with Team LP Fitness for over nine years. It has made a dramatic impact on my physical and mental attitude. It has made my own workouts more effective and given me more energy for work and play.

Rolla: Age, 69 and 110 plus lbs lighter. Merle: 66 and going strong. WOW!!

 
 
My Name is Rolla Gard. I started Chizzled at age 57 and am now 69 years young.  LP gave me hope at a time in my life when I felt hopeless about attaining personal health. He has always said that, "It's never too late to become fit, you can start at any age". In the first two years with LP I lost 56 pounds and now the total is 110 pounds! Becoming fit and staying fit has helped me to overcome several health challenges.  Chizzled is an awesome experience - LP thanks for all the fun and good times!  It's true that  what you taught me......"When I say I can't do it, I turn it around and say I must do it." 
 
I love Chizzled because you can do your best at your own fitness level and that makes winning and results possible!
 
My name is Merle Gard the proud husband of Rolla. My age is 66 and I'm a fit grandpa. I became a Chizzler about seven years ago. When I retire I want to be fit and able to enjoy retirement.   CANI, baby!
 
  

Chick Warner: Age 60, Looking and feeling like a lean, mean, fit machine!

LP equals enthusiasm & inspiration. LP applies his vast knowledge to your fitness in a fun & unassuming way. He is all that is needed to keep you on track for your fitness goals. It is rare that an individual has such a positive influence on so many people. I started training with LP in his studio 6 years ago & it didn’t take long to realize that I had discovered a rare jewel. LP has incredible talents as a personal trainer. His Chizzled classes are true works of art. We have become great personal friends & I look forward to a lifetime of fitness with LP by my side.

Greg & Alice Kuzmicki:Total Marriage Teamwork, 45 lb weight loss in 3 months!!

LP has won our wholehearted support and admiration for the outstanding quality of  training and knowledge that he shares with his clients, and because he cares so much about each persons success he makes us feel more like long time friends instead of clients.
 
LP's quality service will appeal especially to those who tried other so called "trainers" who promised, but always failed to deliver, and some of these personal trainers that we had worked with in the past wanted to do good job, but just didn't know how.
 
To describe the experience of training with LP is like trying to explain to you the taste of chocolate when you never had it before, its kind of hard, you must try it yourself.
 
We had belonged to a local gym for the past 7 years and kept gaining unwanted weight. Since joining Team LP Fitness three months ago, me and my wife each lost 24 and 21lb.
 
 So what is insanity? Keep doing same thing over and over again and expecting different results!!
 
We had to try something different and we found it, so make that call, it's your life !!!.

Martin De Guzman: Class of 2007 Montgomery High School

I am writing to you to extend my thanks and gratitude for a number of reasons, the first being you allowing me to job shadow you the last six weeks, secondly and most importantly, I would like to thank you for your guidance and support for the Montgomery High School Basketball team and myself personally.  Although you might not remember me from way back in September of 2003, our journey extends as far back as the beginning of my high school career.  It all began at Slater, to Howarth park, to Gold’s Gym, and finally to your personal studio.  Those workouts were the most grueling, most intense, and most gratifying things I have ever done.  After every single workout my body feels fresh, I feel more confident in myself than I would ever have felt, and I feel like I can take on any obstacle in my path (after about 30 minutes of recovery time).

I have learned so much about my personal health, fitness, and more importantly about life in general.  Thanks to your teachings of CANI, I am the person I am today.  Your influence will remain with me for the rest of my life, and again I thank you.  You are: Amazing, Astounding, Astonishing, Awe-Inspiring, Awesome, Extraordinary, Fantastic, Incredible, Legendary, Phenomenal, Prodigious, Remarkable, Spectacular, Superb, Terrific, Wondrous, One of a Kind.

    

Thank You, Martin De Guzman: Class of 2007 Montgomery High School

There are very few people in the world who instantly touch your heart. LP is one of them. I know that when I am with LP that I am inspired, cajoled and confronted into tackling any of life’s difficulty tasks. Not only does he support you in eating healthy, taking on the physical challenges of a better you, but also in refining your psychology. The best mind, body and spirit workout is with LP. Thank you LP for all your little gifts.

Maxine Korntved: Age 71, she hangs with the best in group training. She's HOT!!

Hi my name is Maxine Korntved and I am 71 years young and I have been with LP for over 15 years now.


Team LP Fitness has a wide variety of very different training machines to use for your workouts which are very good for cardio and strength training. But most of all I have fun and get positive attitudes, strength, endurance, challenges, enthusiasm, knowledge of nutrition, better mental attitude, and amazing humor. What more could you ask for when your working out !!!!
 
 LP is a very caring person and finds time for every person he touches. It is an awesome experience to be in his classes and it is just amazing to me how he watches over everyone, helps everyone ,supports, challenges, and encourages every person...... and his class is so full. He makes you feel like you want to do the best you can in life and you want to do it. He is an amazing instructor whether he is instructing his classes or training one on one.

I appreciate all the years I have had with him and look forward to all the years I will have with him in the future years to come.

 I am so blessed that I took his Chizzled Class 15 years ago.    

Addicted Chizzler: Natallie Cataraha-Berry

 

I have been through two pregnancies throughout the time I've taken LP’s class. With my first pregnancy, I continued working out until about the 8th month. The second pregnancy was a little different…I had LP encouraging me to continue working out the entire term, so I did! I was in class the night before my scheduled cesarean.


    

People thought I was crazy! They wondered how I did it and where the energy came from. I have to admit – there were 4 things that kept me going week after week:


1) “Mind over matter”
2) LP himself!!! He is so supportive, motivating, fun, and cheerful. He gives you confidence and pushes you to give ‘your’ best, whatever that may be!

3) It’s FUN – so fun sometimes  I’d even forget that I was pregnant.

4) I’m hooked; how could I miss a class? I’m an addict…


    

One thing I took from working out while being pregnant was that you really can inspire others without even knowing it…I had so many people that were cheering for me. Women would come up to me and ask all kinds of questions, some telling me that they were so glad to see me working out because they wanted to get pregnant but were afraid to break their gym routines. By watching me they realized they did not have to!


    

LP takes pride in what he does and is devoted to training, which shows in every workout! Thank you LP for all that you are! You’re amazing. I am blessed to have two healthy children and I hope that one day my kids and I will be able to take your class together! How fun would that be? J

Ginny: Age 50 and in the best shape of her life!

My name is Ginny, I'm 50 and I am a Receptionist at a very cool & fun place. 
 
 
I really enjoy LP's positive energy. He's fun & without a doubt very motivational. He is very awesome to me! I get bored easily and I am never ever bored in his classes. I am always challenged with his workouts during class & when I am not feeling challenged it's because I haven't taken myself to the next level. He's very innovative and provides options for all who attends his class.
  
 
I have reached many new personal goals since I have been working out with LP. One goal reached is I am in the best physical shape I have ever been in my life. I have more positive energy which has given me more out of my job & my relationships. I find what LP teaches to be true, that whatever I put into my workout or anything else is exactly what I will get out of it.

 
My goal is to continue with the "CANI" philosophy he teaches and to stay healthy and fit for my lifetime.
 
 
Thank you LP for everything : 0 )

Lori Tiedeman: Mother of two of Sonoma County's finest Basketball players

LP has worked with the Montgomery High School Boys Basketball team for many years. He dedicates countless hours to the program to help them strengthen their bodies and minds. He has worked with both my boys (Tyler & Zac) to help them increase their strength and endurance and the “CANI” philosophy, which can be used both off and on the court.  I acknowledge and appreciate his endless energy and dedication to my family and to his community. 

 

We all have benefited.  Thanks LP.

Kristy Krankemann: Major changes with new mental "tools" from Team LP Fitness.

"LP is more than just a personal trainer, he is a motivator, a coach, and a friend. His program is successful because it is completely tailored to you and where you are at physically and mentally. He works at your pace but constantly pushes you to do the best you can whether it's with working out or nutrition.

 If your looking to bring your fitness and nutrition to a different higher level, than LP is the person for you. It will be an experience unlike any other. His unconventional way of fitness keeps the workout fun, exciting and motivating. I always look forward to working out with LP"

Cassidy Dadaos:19, Serious Disciplined Athlete. I was honored to have trained her!

Sure I had heard the name "LP" talked up around the athletes of Sonoma County for a good while before I made my trek from Healdsburg to Santa Rosa one early Tuesday morning. I thought I'd give him a chance, even if it meant waking up in the 5 am hour...a couple of hours of sleep is a big sacrifice for a junior in high school!
Let's just say I found a very worthwhile way of spending those missed hours of sleep every week.

From day one, Team LP Fitness did nothing but strengthen me as an athlete and person, both physically and mentally. For over a year, LP set up intense and challenging physical workouts for me, workouts that pushed me to a point of fitness and strength that I didn't know was possible for a high school athlete. This strength was at a huge point in my basketball campaign, and helped dramatically in my recruiting process.

 Not only did LP help shape me physically, but mentally he provided a new kind of attitude and outlook on the game of basketball and my life as well. His consistency in attitude and level of intensity is unmatched by anyone I have ever worked with before. Not once over my time of training with him did I leave LP's Fitness Playground dissatisfied with my workout.

I'm only sad that I left for Boston before I got to fully enjoy the capacity of his huge, new, gorgeous Studio Playground! I would not be the college athlete that I am today without the support of Team LP Fitness and I can't wait to get back on the schedule with LP when school lets out in the spring!

Katie Enfield Age: 23, Kick butt athlete and die hard "CHIZZLER".

I have been a serious athlete all my life.  I played college level soccer, cross country, and track at Chico State.  After I graduated from college I took the summer off from working out.  I didn't have any motivation to workout anymore.  I didn't belong to a team and no one was there to push me.  I became depressed about my self image and put on weight.  When I moved to Santa Rosa, my friend suggested that I join her gym because of this amazing person/fitness instructor, named LP.  I thought I would give it a try because I was so frustrated with my fitness level I didn't know what else to do.
 
I tried my first "CHIZZLED" class and became hooked.  I felt challenged and motivated again.  I had found what I had been looking for all summer.  Now that I have been working out with LP doing group sessions at 6:00 am during the week and 8:00 am on Saturdays, I feel like I am part of a team again.  We are all there for one common goal..... to get fit, have fun, and push each other to new fitness levels!
 
Thanks LP for being my adopted father and pushing me to become a better athlete and person!

Michelle Elton: Coming from another Fitness Professional, I'm touched!

 
Hey LP,
You've inspired and motivated me as a Personal Trainer. I now have my clients and members of the Clover Fitness Center working just as hard as your clients and students do in your classes. I love your energy! I now offer a similar program up here in Cloverdale. I stay in touch with my clients by sending them an e-mail with an "exercise of the week". I try and keep them as motivated as you motivate your students and clients.
You rock!!
