Customer Testimonial:
I was seeking a personal trainer to work with my
13 year old son, a young man diagnosed with high
functioning autism. My son Matt had little
interest in physical activity and I was trying
to encourage him to participate in a regularly
scheduled workout session. The transformation of
my son from sedentary to physically fit and
active over the past two years has been
astonishing. That is not to say that it was
easy; there were many sessions when my son was
not cooperative or not in the mood. Gradually,
he realized the benefit of exercise. This
realization was due to Armand's patience, good
humor and encouragement. My son lost over 10
pounds, with the added assistance of a local
dietician, Deb Konkle of Boundaries Therapy.
Today, he is maintaining his weight loss and
continuing to improve his conditioning at
Armand's new gym facility on Main St. in Acton.
Matt says that Armand is very dedicated to his
business and is fun to work with.
Over a year ago, I joined my son to do a
"partner workout" session with Armand. I have
improved my strength and am now committed to
achieving weight loss and conditioning goals for
myself. Diet does matter, as I have found, since
I lost weight and inches before the December
holidays, and then put on pounds by feeling free
to indulge during December and January. I am now
participating in a lifestyle program called
"Transitions" that features a low glycemic index
diet. The program is facilitated by a nurse,
Janice Donovan. By combining a weekly meeting
with Janice with my workout schedule with
Armand, I plan to get fitter in 2006!
