For twenty years, I have been one of Louisiana's top triathletes. At the age of 48, I was starting to see a decline in my performance against my competitors. Luckily, I was introduced to John Kelly and his weightlifting regimen. By incorporating John's program into my training schedule, I had my best year of racing in a long time. I felt stronger, recovered faster and only had to devote 30 minutes a week to weightlifting. It is  like discovering the fountain of youth . It really does work.
-- Laurence Cohen Louisiana Triathlete of the Year 2004

"This workout has changed my life: I used to work out three times a week for an hour each time; now I work out three times a month for half an hour. I'm stronger and more fit. My back pain is gone, and my chronic knee inflammation is better than it’s been in years. Even my golf game is better. And I thought I knew about fitness..."

I have been athletic all my life but have never felt this strong. I have been training with John Kelly for 4 1/2 years. I am 43 with a set of two year old twins. I trained throughout the pregnancy and was back in 0-2 clothes in six months. More importantly my performance and endurance in all the sports I enjoy have never been stronger. That's important to me because I want to surf and ski with my twins when they are teens. One half hour a week with John has made my body feel the strongest I can ever remember.

I have been working with John Kelly since 1996. I continue to get stronger. After a year I had increased my weights to a point that I assumed that I could not improve further. However, more than six years working out once a week for less than 30 minutes I continue to get stronger. I recommend this program for any individual who wants to get in shape and stay there.
-- John Curren

When I was 39, six months before turning 40, I was determined to find a way to get fit and stay that way. Over my lifetime, I did what many have done: go through endless cycles of getting in shape, getting out of shape, getting in shape, and so on. The primary reason was that I could not stick with any one regimen for too long, whether it was aerobic work or lifting weights, because it took up too much of my spare time. I decided to try their protocol for weight training because of its promise to deliver both increased strength and cardiovascular fitness, and would require only 30 minutes a week. On my 40th birthday, I can honestly say I was in the best shape of my life since being a teenager. I am 42 now, and am still with the program. It is so convenient that it never interferes with anything else in my life. For more than a year, I have actually DECREASED my sessions from once a week to once every two weeks, and still see increasing strength improvements in the careful records my trainer takes at each session. I hardly ever do any aerobic exercise, so how do I know that I am also maintaining cardiovascular fitness? Because I climb 100 stairs a day to get from the parking garage to my office without laboring for breath or feeling like my heart is about to pump itself right out of my chest. In the few seconds it takes to get to my chair, my breathing and pulse are nearly back to normal. This is much more than I can say for the people I sometimes see climbing fewer than half of the stairs. I owe these results not only to the protocol itself, but also to the dedicated and motivated folks at Ultimate Fitness, who have created a comfortable, clean environment with the finest in strength training equipment. They have a genuine interest in seeing everyone get the most out of their training sessions. My trainer and I have become good friends, and I really look forward to the workouts. To those who can identify with where I was at 39, I say contact these folks; this is a program that can easily last a lifetime.

I have had shoulder impingement problems since college, and little by little I was forced to abandon bench presses and overhead presses from my workouts because of intense pain. I felt I was wasting my time and money just working on the smaller muscles. But then I was introduced to the slow-motion workouts using the specially designed equipment. Muscles no longer were pinched between bones, and I was working to exhaustion on each set, not working until the pain was unbearable. And who wouldn't like working out only 30 minutes top each week. Sure, I still dread going to the gym, but now it's only once a week and not five times. Ultimate Fitness is the greatest. And I never grow tired of receiving compliments. So, if you see me, say something nice.  --Popular Bob Christ

After years of running, walking, biking and swimming, I felt I had reached my maximum level of fitness. After speaking with John Kelly 2 and 1⁄2 years ago, I decided to try his method of training. I have seen my strength and endurance improve dramatically with only 30 minutes a week of training. I recommend Ultimate Fitness for anyone who wants to improve their over all fitness and health.

I have quit every health club I have ever joined. I have stuck with this for three years now. I am in the best shape of my life even after having twins.

I have been a client of John Kelly's for about three years. He is a terrific instructor--attentive to individual needs, smart, and funny. He makes the workout a blast. I credit John's instruction in weightlifting with my recovery from serious, debilitating back trouble. I am now stronger, more flexible, more mobile, and more active than I was BEFORE my disc problems. I have no more trouble with my back, thanks to the workout, and my energy and enthusiasm for life have increased tremendously. I work out with John about three times per MONTH for 25 minutes a session, and I continue to increase my strength and improve my health. This has been a God-send.
