I went to AAP Fitness because my husband told me I needed to go to a personal trainer in order to lose weight and get into shape. I had tried diet programs such as; Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and others but they did not work. The first time I walked into AAP Fitness I knew it was the place for me. There was so much energy and such a positive feel to the place! Alex and Ashley are great motivators and really care about helping their client get fit and healthy and staying that way. They do not have a cookie cutter program like the gyms I had belonged to in the past. It is not a one size fits all program which was very attractive to me. They encourage me to keep working toward my goals when I get into one of those "woe-is-me moments" so I am able to get back on track if I "fall off the wagon" as the old saying goes. After four months of hard work and proper nutrition I was able to loose over 26 lbs of body fat and a total of 17 lbs. I feel great and have a clear cut plan of what I need to do in order to reach my ultimate goal and maintain that goal for the rest of my life. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication but thanks to all the trainers at AAP Fitness I am well on my way! Thank you AAP Fitness for all you do for us! Loretta Zisk

I also work out with them 3 times per week, this combination of working out and eating right has led to me dropping 2 % body fat and putting on muscle in a very short period of time! I would recommend this program to anyone! Thanks AAP Fitness! Billy Riveiro Tampa Self employed contractor Riveiro Painting, Inc.

	A Means to Success I have participated in organized sports since my youth from little league baseball to collegiate basketball. Independently, I have also pursued many athletic activities including triathlons, beach volleyball and snow skiing. Training in some form has long been a part of my daily regime. As a business owner in a busy legal practice, I can not afford to waste time. While I have entertained limited training sessions with others, Alex Poptodorov is the first trainer that has kept my attention. Alex not only impresses with his knowledge of biomechanical kinesiology and human physiology, he is uniquely able to teach proper technique in a motivating manner. Through traditional European methods that have produced some of the strongest athletes in history, Alex creates dramatic results in appearance and performance in a positive and fun atmosphere. Alex provides a simple recipe for immediate improvement. He inspires continued progress and ultimate success. The results are dramatic and lasting. Within weeks under his tutelage, I gained lean muscle mass and a more overall sculpted appearance. As my technique improved, my strength increased significantly which has translated into improved performance in beach volleyball and basketball as well as renewed confidence and focus in my life. Whether you seek that dependable driving force or just instruction on how to develop the best you physically on the outside and/or nutritionally on the inside, I highly recommend you participate in a few AAP Fitness training sessions. I guarantee they will give you the means to succeed. DRJ South Tampa Lawyer

	I arrived at AAP out of shape, feeling like I had no time to exercise and no way to manage the stresses of everyday life. From my first visit to AAP, I could tell they cared about me. The process started with an assessment of my weight, BMI, heart rate recovery and some general motion/flexibility tests. From the onset and 16 months hence, the nature of the trainers at AAP is to encourage me to be a healthier person, which results in making me a happier person. Alex, Ashley, Shannon and the staff at AAP trained and counseled me so that I could reach my goal of getting in shape. They continued to guide me to reach a higher goal I thought impossible I now look and feel better today than I did 15 years ago! Thanks to AAP, I incorporate the combined benefits of fitness, diet, supplements, renewed energy and stress relief in my daily routine. My wife and children are witness to the improved me in action all day - every day. I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to AAP. AAP has improved my health and my life! “I’ve even convinced my wife to join me and together we encourage each other, share our ups and downs, and motivate one another as we meet and exceed our goals. Working out together has given us a bond that is irreplaceable. It’s brought us closer together as a couple and as friends. Our healthy lifestyle benefits both us and our relationship!

	Why We Did It: We woke up one day and realized that we needed to do something. We had no energy at all and were very discouraged by our appearance. How Did We Do It: In a nutshell, most definitely AAP FITNESS! We had to make the commitment, but Alex and Ashley gave us the confidence we needed to succeed. Alex and Ashley are very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition and gave us the right combination of both, that helped us to finally see our results. From the beginning they have always said, it is not a diet, but a LIFETSTYLE CHANGE. . .and, they are absolutely right! We are living proof! Immediately, we both started seeing the pounds drop, body fat decrease, and muscle increase. This gave us the drive and momentum we needed to continue. They have also taught us that there is a huge mental and emotional component to weight loss. We had to make up our minds, stay focused and committed to obtain those results. Through Alex’s knowledge of the fitness and nutrition, and taking the proper supplements; and, Ashley’s daily motivational/inspirational e-mails and updates, they give us the encouragement and support we need. We know we can contact them anytime and anywhere. We know that living a healthy lifestyle, which means clean eating and working out, pays off. But, having AAP Fitness truly believe in our goals is very motivating! This is not a temporary situation for us, this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Our new lifestyle with AAP Fitness started only 6 months ago; however, we will continue on our new lifestyle of fitness and nutrition, with the help and encouragement of AAP fitness. Our bodies are a work in progress, but the work we are doing to make ourselves look and feel better is enjoyable and we love every minute of it! Thank you AAP Fitness!! Jen & Dewayne Cordes

	I went to AAP Fitness at a time in my life when the midlife spread appears. I have always been thin most of my life and then came 45. I started gaining weight slowly and it wasn’t just the weight. By 49, my body was taking on a different shape. What made me decide to go to a personal trainer was my husband telling me I was getting round. He was right!! My new shape was roundness in my mid section. I decided right then and there to go see a personal trainer. To be honest, I originally checked out AAP Fitness because of its proximity to my house. What made me decide to sign up with AAP Fitness was Alex and Ashley’s knowledge in fitness and nutrition, their caring and determination to help me reach my goal. It’s been about 4 years now my husband says I am no longer round and that I look great. I owe this to AAP Fitness. All of the trainers are committed to giving the clients personalized workouts that give the best results. Even if you have a medical or health limitation, they know how to work you out to improve your fitness. They also help by telling you what foods you should eat and what supplements to take to improve your overall health. Cindy
