My husband and I have been training with Rich for many years now. We go once a week for full body work out, cross training, weights etc. Our exercises vary periodically and really help with our overall fitness. My husband is a runner, and with Rich coaching he has had less injuries and has increased his flexibility. We also really enjoy being able to go together to workout. Rich knowledge is remarkable. He is also able to adjust your workout if you are injured or have any issues. He is the best trainer !

Great training. Supportive environment. If you’re looking to get stronger, slim down, or just add something fun and challenging to your routine, Accelerated Fitness is the place. Rich is awesome!

I have been working out at Accelerated Fitness with Rich for 8 years, maybe longer. The time has flown by and I have loved every minute of it. I am over 60, strong, healthy and physically and mentally fit. Rich has been there for me through cancer treatment, shoulder reconstruction surgery and the various aches and pains of a life actively lived. He has always tailored my workouts to my personal fitness goals and physical capacity. He challenges me while keeping me from injuring myself or wasting my time on useless pieces of gym equipment. All of his clients are considerate, caring and encouraging. In addition to a great workout, a session at AF frequently leads to a good conversation or serious belly laugh, which is beneficial for the brain and the core! I highly recommend making Accelerated Fitness a part of a healthy lifestyle!!!!
