Get Fit

"Simon suffered a traumatic brain injury and was working towards rehabilitation when he was referred to The Champ.  In the year that he has been working with Champ, he has lost more than 50 lbs., has increased muscle mass, and possibly most importantly, has gained a new friend and person in his corner. This has been a life changing experience and we are grateful his rehabilitation physician referred us to The Champ."

Mario was born with a disability which prevents mobility with one of his arms.  Mario's determination is remarkable, he never gives up or allows his disability to stop him.  After working with me, I have witnessed his drive and confidence increase, and he's more willing to try new things.  When I ask Mario if he is tired, he always wants to keep going and says "Let's Get It!".

"At 44, I am stronger and more fit than I have ever been in my life" 

"I would definitely recommend Champ because I watched him transform one of his clients over the course of a year while I trained with another trainer in the same gym. It was because of the changes I saw in Linda that convinced me to train with Champ."

"I have been training with Champ for over 4 years. I lost 45 pounds in 5 months and never looked back. Training with Champ has changed my life.  He has become like a brother to me. It is much more than the pounds I have shed, his encouragement and motivation helped me change my attitude and self confidence.

I would recommend him to anyone, any age."

"Our son Yechiel was born with mild cerebral palsy. He had improper muscle tone, poor coordination, and difficulties with movement, maintaining posture and balance. When Yechiel was 9 years old, his doctor referred us to Darryl for physical exercise and training. When first meeting Darryl, Yechiel was using orthopedic braces to help with gross motor movements and limb alignments. It was truly amazing to watch how Darryl worked with our son: home visits, workouts at the fitness gym and even at times at the boxing gym. More than working on Yachiel's physical exercise, he helped him believe in himself, giving him confidence and motivation to better himself and not allow his disability to defeat him.

​

Week after week, Darryl worked with Yechiel hard: stretching, exercise machines, boxing, long-distance walking. But most important, Darryl became part of the family, he was Yachiel's "big brother", as they had become wonderful friends. Yachiel is currently dorming at high school in Miami, FL. He doesn't wear braces anymore. He plays on the school basketball team and continues his regular exercise and training.  He and his "big brother" Darryl keep in touch all year, and Yachiel looks forward to the summers when they can continue their training together. We couldn't recommend Darryl enough. He is a blessing. "

"David  suffered from bullying and had low self esteem. I sent David to summer camp, and after only a few weeks, he wanted to come home due to being bullied. I spoke with my trainer, Darryl, who was eager to work with David on this.  After working with Champ for only a couple weeks, we could see a difference in David.

​

The following summer, David went back to the camp. He stood up for himself, and he and the "bully" actually became friends.  Now he is much more confident and enjoys training."

"I have been training with Darryl for over 5 years. I was referred to him by my physiatrist and he is more than a trainer to me, he is my brother. I had a passion for fitness and staying active, but my physical limitations have been a barrier for me...that Darryl has broken! Not only has my physical strength improved, but my self esteem has been higher than it's ever been. I always look forward to my training sessions, they have become a staple of my week. I would recommend Darryl to anyone who asks, no matter physical ability of special needs."  

"When I was 4 years old, I was hit by a car, which left me with a Traumatic Brain Injury, and damage to both sides of my brain. My brain did not recognize the left side of my body. My pediatric physician, who focuses on patient rehabilitation and is an MD, suggested me to Darryl, in hopes of gaining more strength on my left side.

 I started training with Darryl when I was 11, 6th grade, and now I am 19 and in my winter semester of my sophomore year in college. When I first started training with Darryl, I walked with a limp and relied heavily on the right side of my body to support myself in my daily activities. Since then, I have been a member of my middle and high schools basketball and volleyball teams and the marching band for 4 years. Since starting college, I continue to meet with Darryl every week.

Darryl has become part of my family over the past 8 years, and he continues to push me each time I go to the gym to become stronger mentally and physically."

"I've trained with Darryl for over 10 years. He is a trainer that pushes you to your limits to be the best that you can be. I got great results"
