Brendan Flanagan: Frehsman Class of 2011; Cardinal Newman

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,

Keith Lacy: Kind words from a brand new "CHIZZLER".

Hey there LP…

 Just a quick note to say thank you!   

I am the “new” guy that was in your class at Fusion Fitness Tuesday night.   

I had heard of your class for about a year now… and I knew it was very popular. I had felt a little intimidated to check it out and just hadn’t made the time. I thought “Maybe I am not in good enough shape for that stuff”. It wasn’t until my close friend and fitness partner Tina, who was next me in the class, convinced me to go with her to “try” it out did I really understand why. 

I have been a member of Fusion for about 1 ½ years and have primarily done group fitness classes. I have been doing 4-5 spin / RPM classes and 3 Body Pump classes each week, plus some outdoor running as well.  During the time I have been a member at Fusion Fitness, I can proudly say I have lost 30 pounds of fat and have gained more lean muscle and tone.  I feel energized and my mood has improved greatly. I can also attribute the great improvements in my body and mind to a great change in my diet and eating habits, as well as a good exercise support group at the gym. 

For me, the class you led was no doubt the most physical, fun, energizing, kick-butt class I have ever taken.  You are so intensely motivating that I felt pumped up and constantly looking forward to the next exercise during the whole class. I don’t think I even I had time to get tired because of the fun, fast pace of your class.  You add humor, and motivating comments and statements as well which helped me to stay focused on the task at hand. 

I took the time to read your website today and have learned much more about you, your history, and your classes. I even learned more about myself.  

You are an inspiration to many and I personally plan to be an “LP follower” for some time to come.  I look forward to furthering my physical as well as my mental fitness.

Thank you again for following your childhood dream and for being such a positive person leading the way for many towards improving themselves and their lives.

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

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! I now look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  
In the past two years Ali has lost 80 pounds and I have dropped 30 pounds (and probably relocated another 10 or 12). At 57 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!!

Tara U'Ren: 21, Student, Hard Core Athlete

I have been going to LP's Chizzled classes for about 1 and 1/2 years now. I remember the first time I took Chizzled - I was a little nervous having never been in a group fitness class before.  But, I must say, my nervousness faded fast.  LP is an amazing trainer...not your typical stand in front of the class and do the exercises with you, but a motivating, always moving around the room, constant buzz of energy instructor that expects your individual best at every class.  He makes working out fun with his hilarious sense of humor, great music and just an overall upbeat atmosphere.  He recognizes that not everyone is at the same fitness level and teaches 3 different ways to do each exercise.  He creates a room not of competition but one where everyone can have fun and leave feeling they have done something great for themselves.  Chizzled is always different - every class takes strength training and cardio to a different level.  He just introduced us to "Body Blades" and I can't even find a word to describe the awesome total body workout that using the blades provides.  LP is always thinking of new ways to bring fitness to his clients.  He loves sharing his knowledge and his enthusiasm with others. I guarantee that taking a class from LP at Fusion Fitness or at his studio playground will change your entire mindset about being fit.  Just like any other exercise program, you only get out of it what you put into it.  With LP's motivation and genuine support of your goals, you'll get the results you want because he makes you realize that reaching your potential is always possible as long as you give your very best effort all the time.  I never miss Chizzled unless I have to be at school, and once you try it, you'll make time to be there too.

Who is LP? What is Chizzled?
 
LP is the instructor of the Chizzled class, and he is the reason why almost 100% of his class changed their gym to a new gym, once he decided to join Fusion Fitness gym or according to LP his new play ground for Chizzled. LP is the greatest motivator that I have ever seen in my life. He changed my life so much that I just don't know how to pay him back. 
 
 
After my pregnancy I was over weight, depressed, run down and tired all the time. Because of my family history, I was worried about diabetes. Even though I am a well educated woman in the professional working world, I had lost my confidence to go back to the job field after I remained home with my son for few years after my pregnancy. 
 
The day I was introduced to the Chizzled class, I started to look forward to working out once again. Most of all, I really looked forward to going to LP's class. I was working out like I had never worked out before. I started to feel great, I got my energy back, I got myself back into shape and I became a much happier person because of the great workouts. I am now going back to practice in my profession. 
 
I just don't know what you want to call a person like LP that comes into your life. I want to call him an Angel from heaven for me.
 
 
If you want to get in shape and sculpt your body, Chizzled is the right class for you. It is so much fun and energizing that you never have to drag your body to the gym again. It feels like a great team working together to achieve your fitness goal.  
 
Well, this was my experience. I hope you come and take advantage of this great instructor while it is possible for you to do so, and you join our team and get the results you want.

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.

Madeline Major: 62 years young, 11 year client of Team LP Fitness

I have been training with Team LP for more than 10 years now. I also have been attending his “CHIZZLED” classes 2 nights a week. The benefits are too great to ever stop! I am 61 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…...

My Name is Rolla Gard. I started Chizzle at age 57 and am now 64 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 Chizzle 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 60 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!
 
  

Dan Glover: Professional Pilot and all around great guy!

 
Team LP Fitness has helped me to achieve phenomenal results in stamina, energy, and overall fitness. The group fitness and personal  one on one sessions are high intensity, focused, and fun. I would have never been able to achieve the results I enjoy today if it weren't for the professional training of Team LP.

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 !!!.

Michele Hunter Thayer: Marla's a big hit with her clients.

I have been working out with Marla for about six months one to two times a week to enhance my regular fitness regimen and have seen fantastic results.  Not only does she put me through my paces and give me the best workout possible, but I learn so much from her about body mechanics, stretching, proper use of fitness equipment, nutrition, I could go on.  I always look forward to seeing her and LP because I know it will be worth my time and I'll have fun all the while working up a good sweat.

Danica Siegel: Over 40 and feeling 15 years younger. AWESOME!!

I was having a hard time getting motivated to start working out again. I was out of shape physically and mentally. LP got me back on track quickly. I have been training in both private sessions and small groups with LP for almost a year now. I feel soooo much better. I am motivated and much healthier in both by body and mind.  My diet has improved 10 fold and I fit much better into my jeans. I have even been getting compliments on how fit I look. I feel like I'm 15 years younger. I love LP and highly recommend him as a trainer. 

Sincerely, Danica Siegel

Chick Warner: Age 57, 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 4 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.

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!

Carolina Portales : Committed "CHIZZLER"!

My name is Carolina and I've always liked working out with people who motivate me. The last person who motivated me before LP was when I was in High School almost 16 years ago!!

I can't tell you how much fun I have had in LP's Chizzled class. At the end of the workout, as exhausted as I felt, I always needed to come back again and again. I literally felt the need, that has never happened before. The best part was that I lost all my back fat and toned everything up!!

He really knows how to kick your butt and tone your butt. Let me tell you, I looked the bomb at my wedding!

Thanks LP!!

Ryan and Brendan: Plant the seed early in life and they will be fit forever!

We have both been training at LP's Studio Playground for about three months. It was a leap of faith that we stumbled across the playground and have been training with LP ever since. We have both seen improvement in our bodies and in the school sports we play. LP has pushed us to a level that we have never experienced before and without him we would probably be watching reruns on t.v. with a tub of ice cream right now. LP has taught us about self-discipline and basic nutrition that has totally changed our dietary habits. We highly recommend joining Team LP Fitness if you want to rise to the top of your game or just lose a few pounds. You will definitely see the results.

Jonathan Soh: Age 42 and strong as a Bull. He's single, ladies!

LP has a sixth sense.  He knows just how far he can push me so that I don't puke!  Kidding aside, he truly knows how to get the most effort out of an individual.  I often tell people that he knows my body better than I know it myself, and in some ways, better than my doctor.  He knows exactly how to push my buttons so that I get the best workout possible.

Over the past 10 years I have trained with LP in all kinds of environments; both one-on-one, and in partners and groups.  What is special about him is his sensitivity to the individual, even in a group workout session.  While I want an in-your-face experience, others may prefer a softer, more encouraging approach.  LP knows how to deliver on all fronts.

Training with LP has allowed me to maintain my athleticism into my 40's and I am grateful for that.  He has also become a big brother to me over the years, someone who is in my inner circle for life."

Carol Walker Age: 53, She balances her "CHIZZLED" workouts with Spin classes.

LP, I am 53 years old, and have 2 business's as an artist and designer. I have been at Fusion with you since July. I have always loved to work out and take care of myself. As I have aged, the 3 marathons, 25 years of competitive tennis have left me a little challenged with the knees and needing a workout that changes and challenges, and allows me to work hard at my own pace. Chizzled is the best class I have ever done. I am never bored, it compliments spin class and other training, and all areas of my body are responding. Your energy is contagious to everyone, and I enjoy that so much. Not everyone is as as driven in sports as I am.
Thank you for all  your effort.
Sincerely, Carol Walker

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 "CHIZZLED" two times a week at Fusion Fitness and group sessions with him at 6:00 am during the week and 8:00 am on Saturdays at LP's Studio Playground, 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!

Robin Roman: Another satisifed "CHIZZLER."

I have a friend (Tracey Utt) that kept telling me about this "Chizzled" class she had been taking @ Gold's and how great it was. I thought "Wow! I wish my gym (Fusion Fitness) had a class like that. And then low and behold... Chizzled came to me.

I try to make the 5:30 class twice a week. Each time I leave sweaty and spent (tired). I feel good about myself. I really enjoy the classes and the energy LP puts into them. I appreciate his positive attitude towards fitness. He really encourages me to "Bring it" each time I come to one of his classes.

Thanks LP for all of your hard work and dedication!!!!!

Connor Skelly: Never to young to plant a seed of encouragement for future growth.

LP has helped me to achieve a lot of goals that I've tried to achieve for a long time. He helped me achieve these goals very quickly. In fact it took only one month. 
 
He showed me "THE SECRET" ........The law of attraction. LP is sooo cool, he is not only my personal trainer, he is my mentor. 
 
Because I met LP, I made the 7th grade Santa Rosa Middle School Basketball team. It's amazing how only one event in your life can change everything. 
 
 Now I look better, feel better and I have better confidence in everything I do. Thanks LP

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.

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!!

LP has changed my life! I have found a good addiction, forget the mocha & diets...
I have been taking Chizzled @ Fusion Fitness for 3 months, and have been personal training @ the Studio Playground with LP for a month. I have twice the energy and confidence I had before I came to seek his help.
Not only has LP helped with conditioning my body, but he has also helped me with mental conditioning and the way I think!

If you want the BEST-, you want “LP”. If you are serious about making your life the best it can be and you want to get the most out of life, you can either dream about it or make it happen, and “LP” can help you get there. I don’t HAVE to say anything about how great LP is. The truth is I want to. I’ve been incredibly fortunate enough to train with LP since I moved here 5 years ago. I think everyone should have the opportunity to have such an “AWESOME” teacher in his or her lives. LP is my teacher, friend, inspiration, and ultimate motivator.
 
He is THE BEST!

Shelly Puntillo: 14 year client and still lovin' the Team LP Fitness way!

My name is Shelly Puntillo and I have been a student and advocate of LP, Team LP Fitness, and ‘Chizzled’ since 1992. Even though there have been times I have been out of a regular exercise regime, I always know that LP can and will get me back on track. I have exercised a lot in my life and experienced other trainers over the years but LP truly is the only one that can make a difference..and fast. I appreciate his humor and his seemingly sincere interest in every person he comes into contact with.

Ross Allen and Gayle Hunter: Over 50, happily married and fit for life! Very Nice.

Ross Allen, age 55:  For almost two years now my wife and I have worked with LP as our personal trainer. His experience, professionalism, and unwavering enthusiasm, has encouraged and inspired us to be consistent  in our exercise commitment. Just as important, he has taken a personal interest in our overall well being and is clearly a positive influence our lives. Today, I have more strength and stamina than I have in decades, and more positive energy as I move through my daily life. 

 
                                                  
Gayle Hunter, 52: LP is an extremely knowledgeable, proficient, and professional fitness guide. But the thing that struck me the most from day one is his humanity.  He treated me and my husband (and from what I can tell, all others around him too), with a compassion and caringness that instantly put me at ease. His big-hearted, loving attitude makes you not worry that you may look silly, or maybe you're not up for all this incredible fitness stuff ahead of you.  He treats you respectfully . And on top of it all, he's really funny. He is a great people person.

“How Team LP Fitness Changed My Life”

        

I began personal training/ personal development with LP in January of 2000.  At the time I had watched his chizzled class and him train other clients from a distance; thinking this guy has more energy and enthusiasm than I had ever seen.  How can this be real???

        

One day my husband (then my boyfriend) invited me to try LP’s chizzled class.  After that first class I was hooked.  The thought of being able to incorporate laughter, fun, and personal growth into a work out had me sold.  Each and every time I left the class I felt stronger in both a physical and emotional sense, ready to take on the next challenge.

        

Then I began doing small group and one on one personal training with LP as well.  This just took things to the next level!  The drive, love, kindness and compassion that his gives with everything he does, gave me the inspiration to push myself to an all new intensity.  I had injuries from two car accidents that I thought would be impossible to over come.  In no time I was pain free and stronger than ever.  Not to mention my body looked great too.  .  .  I had a marriage proposal by the end of the year!

        

Before long I felt like a “star” athlete; which was incredible to me since I was turning 30 that year and hadn’t had much previous experience with working out.  It didn’t take me long to figure out that age was just a number when you were training with LP. Seven years later I have the energy and drive of a kid on a “playground”!

        

His ingenuity in keeping the work outs cutting edge and different every time is like getting a Christmas present every time you step foot in one of his classes or his studio; you never know what you are going to get but you are always pleasantly surprised with the out come.  This combination of genuine caring and passion for his job is what sets LP apart from any other trainer or group fitness instructor.

        

If I had to sum up my over all experience with LP in one word it would be “phenomenal”!!!  I recommend that you give his classes and personal training a try “RIGHT NOW.” 

        

LP, Thanks for all you do and for staying loyal to your clients.

  

Sincerely,

Erica Lott-Boomer

My name is Corinne DesBiens and I am a stay at home Mom.  The 11 years prior to my daughter being born I was the Exec. Secretary for the bank President/CEO at NBR.
 
 

I have taken LP's "Chizzled" class for approximately 3 years and I have been enjoying every single class that I have taken!!  LP is an amazing motivator, always positive and upbeat & boy does he know fitness :-)  No class is ever the same workout, so I have never been bored.  I have worked out in various gyms in Santa Rosa since I was 18 (I am now 42) and I have finally found the perfect instructor!!!  If LP were to ever stop teaching "Chizzled" I know that everyone would be devastaed.  Once you take his class you are hooked!  Since taking LP's "Chizzled" class I have lost 12 pounds.  

I would recommend LP's "Chizzled" class to anyone.  No matter your age, weight, or athletic ability, he helps to make you feel comfortable and coming back for more :-)

Vickie Puckett: Over 50, a happy "CHIZZLER" and feeling youthful once again.

My name is Vickie Puckett. My age is 51 and I work in the Santa Rosa city schools. So that means I do a lot of sitting in classes. 
 
 Exercising has become a big part of my life.  I started working out with Team LP Fitness approximately 2 1/2 years ago. Then I joined Fusion Fitness and attend LP's Chizzled classes. As a result I have gained back the energy I used to have in my 20's and 30's. What a great feeling!
 
LP is such a motivator. He truly cares about helping you reach your potential fitness level and having fun in the process. Any level can join and see results.
 
As I've always told myself "Don't think about it, just do it."
 
You won't be disappointed!

Ed Bruegger: From no movement of the body to feeling like an athlete once again!

When i began working out with LP over 3 years ago, I had numerous orthopedic issues; 3 knee surgeries, chronic back problems from an automobile accident 30 years ago, and shoulder challenges from playing contact sports in high school and college.  In the beginning, LP approached those issues with
creativity, and simplicity.  With LP's time, attention, and patience, I now enjoy all aspects of the Studio Fitness Playground. Of all the relationships I have had with physical therapists throughout the years, none has given me the ability to participate in meaningful workouts like LP.

Debbie Gade: Age: 54 and reaping the benfits of fitness for life.

I've been going to LP's studio for almost three years.  It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.  LP is one of the most enthusiastic, positive people I know and that attitude is evident in every workout.  He challenges you to do more than you think you can, invariably with a smile on his face, and I always feel better for it.  He makes sure that the workouts are right for your age and fitness level and is constantly monitoring how you're feeling.  I'm feeling better now at almost fifty four than I have in a long while and that in no small part is due to LP.

Ginny: Age 44 and in the best shape of her life!

My name is Ginny, I'm 44 and I am a Receptionist at a very cool & fun place. 
 
I started working out in LP's Chizzled class 2 years ago at Gold's Gym before he moved Chizzled to Fusion Fitness. I like the change to Fusion Fitness. It's a beautiful gym with alot to offer. I have been working out at LP's Studio Fitness Playground for a year.  
 
 
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 challenge 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.
 
 
Marla is wonderful, she is always positive, attentive & supportive. She also has alot of knowledge about fitness and always gives me  good advice in helping me to attain my goals.
  
 
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 & Marla for everything : 0 )

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 wether 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"

Maxine Korntved: Age 66, she hangs with the best in group training. She's HOT!!

Hi my name is Maxine Korntved and I am 66 years young and I have been with LP for over 10 years now.

I have been in his Chizzled Class at Golds Gym and followed him to  Fusion Fitness when he moved his Chizzled class there. I remember the first time I saw his class and just stood outside the room and watched thinking, "I can't do that". Well I decided to go in and try it and that's all it took..... I just loved it.

LP teaches to all levels of fitness so that everyone can do his class. He demonstrates each level to the whole class and says to go at your own pace. So thats what I did and I have become so much stronger. I love going to his classes as he always does different things and I look forward to that. He is a very good motivator and he makes you feel like you can do anything. LP is very positive and has so much energy and has so much enthusiasm in all of his classes and you feel the energy and want to just move your body.

I have also been trained by LP and Marla at LP's Studio Playground. They have 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 also attend LP's Saturday morning class @ the Studio Playground and I also attend Marla's Pilate's classes and I enjoy them so much and feel so lucky to have found them in my life.

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 that Chizzled Class 10 years ago.
