Joe Cristiani

SIMPLY THE BEST!!
"I have been working out with “THE MOTIVATOR” for about 10 years. The first five years my goals were more focused on strength & intensity. I thrived on Al's punishing mix it up, training methods, I whined but as his marketing slogan says, “no whining, shut up & lift”. I loved and hated him all in the same breath! Al never put me at pearl during all our time together. Al has all the right stuff! It wasn't until the last five years that I realized that “THE MOTIVATOR” had a softer, gentle, caring way and an abundance of knowledge about healing. You see, 5 years ago I fell on a bike and broke my clavicle & tore my tendons on my right shoulder. This led 3 weeks later to a diagnosis of a benign golf ball size tumor at the base of my brain at C1/C2. This surgery had to cut three layers of muscle behind my neck to remove the tumor. Between both surgeries within 6 weeks, I could barely lift my head/neck and my right shoulder protruded forward. After a month of Physical Therapy, I was fed up with the lack of results and costs incurred. I decided to have Al rebuild Humpty Dumpty. He did just that; within 75 days he had me feeling stronger all over, in addition my right shoulder was just as strong as my left and my neck feeling stronger than ever. Two & a half years later, I went in and did a double knee replacement. I quickly bi passed PT and called my buddy Al to the rescue. Currently I am working out with Al & I think I am almost in the best shape of my life as he continues to monitor my ailments and me three days a week. If you want results look no further than “THE MOTIVATOR”! Thank you my friend."

From Barbara, 71, retired

“Working with Al has given me the flexibility and increased bone strength as I overcome osteoporosis.”

From Austin “Rex” Horan, Esq.

"In today’s world, life is hectic and often stressful. From personal experience, I highly recommend Al “The Motivator” and Jerry “The Motivator Jr.” for a unique training experience. Life’s problems evaporate or, at least, are diminished as the workout proceeds. The health benefits are documented including weight loss, increased energy and increased muscle mass. It’s a great experience. Try it! Res ipsa loquitur."

From Chris and Gail Staring, parents of clients: Felisha, Graydon, Emily, and Derek

"Jerry's work with our teenage sons and daughters has been remarkable. They have experienced a very real gain in their strength, and have enjoyed increased self confidence as a result of their fitness. They also enjoy and look forward to their training sessions."

From Mitch Arnzen

"I was visiting from out of town, and I had the opportunity to get a lift in with Al on Christmas Eve. Al's workout regimen was both challenging and fun, and by the end, I had got the best workout I'd had in a long time. I would recommend Al to anyone who is looking to improve their strength, endurance or dump some fat! If I lived in the Tucson area, I would definitely have Al as my trainer! He tells good jokes too."

"I have used the services of personal trainers on and off for over 15 years. Al "The Motivator" is the finest personal trainer I have ever experienced or observed. Being a "seasoned" citizen, Al has worked through my varying strains and sprains as we bring my body up to par. We have been working together three times a week since January (6 months) and the results have been fantastic. When people see me, they can't believe how good I look and are profuse in their complements.

From Eric L. Hughes

My goal is to be fit and stay strong and healthy as I age. Al has worked with me in all phases of my goal including nutrition and supplements. I can strongly recommend Al as your personal trainer. I give Al a 15 out of 10 (I know that's not possible, I am being dramatic)."

From Laurie

"I have worked out with Al, "The Motivator" for many years. If you want to gain or lose weight, increase strength and flexibility and build endurance, he is the man to see in Tucson. I have seen many trainers come and go, and Al continues to lead the field. I have trained with Jerry as well, and he truly is "The Motivator Jr." I recommend them highly to people who are serious about achieving their fitness goals."
