Palladino Personal Training

I've been working with Aaron for almost 4 months now and he has been wonderful! Unfortunately, I am a bit injury prone (having started personal training sessions with a prior ankle injury) and have had a few more injuries since the start of this year, and Aaron has been very considerate and has so much knowledge to be able to work around my various injuries, without further injuring myself and still getting a good workout in. He makes sure to challenge you and definitely listens to your personal goals. My goals included strength training to help support my snowboarding hobby (his core training has definitely helped me on the mountain this season), Aaron has also provided advice on nutrition, as well as given me ergonomic strengthening exercises to help me at work. He is also a great conversationalist which makes our sessions even better! At first, I was hesitant to hire a personal trainer, but I'm pleased with my experience here. I definitely plan on continuing sessions for a while. Nick is also so friendly and never fails to say hello whenever I see him.

(FYI, I have posted the same review on Yelp) Its been 2 months since I have been working out with Aaron at Palladino for my fitness goals. Aaron is a very friendly, down to earth and a sincere fitness trainer. He keeps the routine challenging and as you gain strength will introduce new routines. It has really helped build my core strength sooner than expected. I am also fan of the studio itself and the team. They all very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend working with Palladino's for your fitness journey.

I am just now cooling down from a workout with Nick! I've been training with Nick for over two years now and finally realized it is long past time to do a review. Working with Nick has been fantastic. He's knowledgeable, professional, punctual and has great attention to detail. We started training in the early days of COVID and he came to our house at that time, but it has been over Google Meet since then. This works out just fine, though it was probably good that we started out in person. Nick pays close attention to my technique and gives pointers and reminders when appropriate. Most workouts tend to follow a similar pattern (lower body, upper body and then core), but each one is enough different than the last to keep it interesting. Maybe the thing I most appreciate is that Nick is always able to instantly adapt to whatever is going on with my body. If I tweak my back from over-aggressive gardening, he changes exercises to ones that won't stress that portion of my back. When I developed tennis elbow (not from our workouts!) he added exercises and stretches that helped resolve it. I'm just a couple weeks from my 66th birthday and I feel stronger, and look better physically than I have in at least 25 years. Thanks Nick! A quick update, almost a year later. Still devoted to my sessions with Nick. Since the previous review I developed sciatica which (who knew?) is really painful! Because my wife and I were headed out on a very active vacation, I got a cortisone shot which cleared it up for maybe six weeks, but of course it then started to reassert itself. I did go to a physical therapist--which Nick totally supported--and was hopeful that I could learn techniques from the therapy sessions that Nick and I could incorporate into our training, so I could conquer the sciatica permanently. Nick even went with me to one of the therapy sessions so he could learn as much as possible about how to deal with this particular issue. In the end I think this was slightly useful, but what I really got from it was that we should keep doing what Nick was already coaching me to do, with slightly more emphasis on core strengthening. And the therapist said that my core was already MUCH stronger than the typical patient he treats for this. Since then Nick has adapted our workouts slightly, my core is definitely stronger than it has ever been, and I've had zero sciatica pain. I guess the message is that Nick continues to be very thoughtful about my individual needs, and instantly adapts the workouts as needed to accommodate whatever is going on. Thanks again Nick!

I worked with Aaron in Palladino personal training and had a great experience with him. He has a very positive attitude and pushes you just the right amount. He listens to your goals and tunes the workout based on that. He is very encouraging and overall you always feel great after the workout with him. He is very patient too. One time I had to take my very active 7 year old son with me during a session and he was all over the place trying weights and Aaron handled him patiently and professionally.

My recent venture into strength training at Palladino Personal Training has been nothing short of transformative. Aaron Capizzi, my personal trainer, stands out with his warm and humorous approach, creating an enjoyable workout atmosphere while ensuring impeccable technique. What sets Aaron apart is his reliability and punctuality. Always prepared and ready, he crafts challenging yet encouraging routines that have significantly boosted my strength and overall fitness. Aaron Capizzi's expertise and personalized approach make him an outstanding personal trainer at Palladino. The studio itself is clean and well-maintained, offering ample equipment. However, a minor critique is the limited selection of heavy dumbbells, maxing out at 60lbs. Other than that, Palladino Personal Training, with its dedicated team and welcoming environment, is highly recommended for those seeking a holistic and effective fitness journey.
