TESTIMONIALS
"I
sought out a trainer for two specific reasons; I had been
recently doing mostly just aerobics classes at Hampstead
Health and Fitness and experiencing a great deal of pain in my
knee and back. So much so, that I really couldn’t participate
in most of the classes without leaving with extreme pain in my
knee, making the classes almost unbearable. The other reason,
both of my parents passed away before they were 60. This leads
me to the more urgent and obvious reason I started working out
with Jeremy: the people in my family don’t tend to live very
long. I needed to take charge of my health, and make sure that
my parent’s history did not dictate mine.
My back
and knee pain have been a constant problem for me for many
years, but nothing I ever sought medical attention for, just
something I thought I had to learn to live with. In addition,
at a recent physical, my triglyceride count was over 300
(ouch). After working with Jeremy for only 3 months, that
number went down to an amazing 75! I didn’t think that was
possible! Jeremy tells me anything is possible if you are
willing to work for it. I’m starting to believe him! When
Jeremy and I started working together, it was literally
impossible for me to do squats because of my knee. Jeremy
taught me how to do stretching exercises utilizing a foam
roller, and then a medicine ball doing Self Myofascial Release
techniques. By learning this technique, I have been able to do
squats, and all the other intense leg exercises Jeremy comes
up with for me that I haven’t been able to do for the last 10
years. It’s amazing to me that for years I’ve had this bum
knee that I’ve had to be deal with, and now it’s a non-issue,
no doctor required - just Jeremy and his expertise!
Since
the birth of my second child I’ve been a size 10, I thought it
was the size I would be forever and I had resigned myself to
that fact. But come to find out, all I had to do was learn how
to work out properly with weights, learn how to utilize the
cardio machines with the proper workout, and learn what I
should and should not eat! And the weight just fell off. I’m
now a size 4! I never, ever expected that to happen. I am
amazed with the results. Jeremy’s workouts are the toughest
hours I have ever spent, but well worth it to push through. He
pushes me to do things I would never do, and the results are
amazing. I could never have done this without Jeremy.
I feel
like I have wasted so much time working out just to maintain a
size 10 when there was this cute little size 4 under there. I
feel healthier and happier now that I have my health under
control and I know I won’t be following in my parents
footsteps. Thanks Jeremy for being so knowledgeable and
teaching me so much, I learn from you every day and hope to
continue learning, you’re the best!!"

"Jeremy
McCurdy is one of the most respected trainers I know. He has
always been accommodating in scheduling my appointments amidst
both of our busy schedules. He provides years of experience,
knowledge and the constant support that you need. He designs
your training program to fit your needs and is able to guide
you to your goal. Jeremy has a vast knowledge of his
profession, knows exactly what he is doing and truly cares.
Recently, I had fallen and injured my knee and foot. With
patience and understanding, Jeremy has once again proven that
he can give not only physical support, but also the emotional
support that I need to make it through this. Most importantly,
he knows how to push you to do better without getting hurt. I
can honestly say that he is excellent at what he does! When I
train with him, I always feel better and look better with all
positive results!! *If you need anything, just ask Jeremy!! He
will help you transform your body and stay Healthy; all you
have to do is stay committed!!! He will do the rest!!"

I had
been walking, working out and dieting for close to 6 months,
preparing for one of the biggest nights of my life, the
opening of my play on Broadway, *Brooklyn The Musical*. I
labored day after day, week after week trying to lose the
extra weight, but to no avail. Somewhere, somehow, while my
nose was in my work, I acquired 20 extra pounds that I
couldn’t*t seems to shake off (literally). So desperately I
walked into the World Gym in Haverhill foolishly hoping for a
miracle. What I found was luck. Luck that I entered Jeremy
McCurdy*s office. He asked me about my lifestyle and what
foods I enjoy, and then he fit my diet and workout plan into
my life. He worked with me three days a week at the gym
targeting my problem areas (which I'll not mention) but also
worked on toning and strengthening the rest of my body. He was
kind and patient but worked me hard, which I would not have
done for myself. He wrote out exactly what exercises I should
be doing on the days that I didn’t see him and designed a
specific menu for me for each meal including the foods I
enjoy. In a short amount of time, I lost 15 pounds and I felt
beautiful on opening night. I know if I hadn’t gone to Jeremy
I would have kept gaining; 20 pounds would have become 30,
then 40, because I didn’t realize how bad my eating habits had
become. Jeremy explained it all to me and now, with that
knowledge, I know how to make healthier choices. When someone
can make working out and dieting almost pleasurable, that*s a
true gift!

After
the last 13 years, I could write a book about my training
history, including the time that I actually worked as a
trainer myself! Why am I still here then, after all these
years of training, what I've been taught, and what I've
learned through educating myself? For me, it's about
accomplishing my goals, whatever they may be at the time. It
may be getting rid of post-baby weight, getting ready for a
reunion, summer, or getting ready to compete at something you
love. On those days when I don't think I can dig deep enough,
I do... and Jeremy has motivated me on so many different
levels. Everyone has that inner strength, that fire within.
For me, working with a trainer is about having someone help
you find it and utilize it either in the gym or in life. And
yes, I can leg press more than 800 lbs for 12 reps with a lot
more to come!! Not bad for a girl!"

"Jeremy
has been nothing short of amazing! He possesses tons of
knowledge in this field. Just when I thought my own workouts
were intense, he kicked my butt into submission! I have never
had such intense workouts! I've been bodybuilding for 8 years,
and in the last 8 weeks, I've dropped 27 pounds of fat while
maintaining my strength and lean muscle under Jeremy's
supervision. He is a gentleman in every aspect and is very
dedicated, concerned and personable to everyone, both gym
members and his clients alike. Anyone who wants to change
their physique and see results right before their very eyes
should seek to train under Jeremy; he is truly awesome!"

I had
been working out for 11 years, and my body was hard as a rock
- and then I had a baby. I was able to get back in great shape
in 6 months and then*I had another baby. The second pregnancy
took a huge toll on my body and I found it much harder to get
back into the swing of things and stay focused. I have worked
with trainers before but I needed an extra push. Thankfully,
Jeremy was put in my life at a time when I really needed him.
He not only got me back into shape, he also TAUGHT me
something new at each session. Whether it was questions about
my body, diet or lack of motivation, he was there every step
of the way. The results are amazing when you weight train
correctly and use proper form. If your form is not correct,
it*s useless and you put yourself at risk for injury. "Jeremy
taught me how to keep correct form and push my body for a few
more reps when I am convinced I can*t do more, and he helps me
do it WITHOUT INJURY. My husband and I both train with and
learn from Jeremy every week. He is an integral part of our
life that helps to keep us fit and healthy. Thanks Jeremy!!

"I have
great news to share with you! I went to my doctor and got my
blood test results:
Cholesterol went down from 270 to 215 in four months and
Triglycerides went down from 398 to 162!!!! Can you believe
it??? My doctor said she never saw such a big change without
medications of any kind. I have lost 12 pounds in total so
far. I am so excited; I learned so much from Jeremy!!! And
this is real, not like those TV ads about weird pills or easy
gimmicks...and what is even better is that Jeremy gave me the
motivation I never had before to start a program and stick to
it!! My back used to give me pain, and now is much better,
too! I guess losing weight, drinking more water and proper
exercise have done it!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!"
