Joe is a thorough professional, very knowledgeable about the science of physical fitness, and absolutely the best trainer. He knows how to push you, and how to encourage you. I am glad that I found him, and I have benefitted greatly from his training. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to make sure that they are doing the right type of exercise the correct way to achieve the results they are looking for. More...

If you're looking for a team of personal trainers who are experts at teaching people how to utilize functional movements to build strength and prevent injury, Passion for Fitness is the place to go. They understand that the human body functions as one unit rather than separate muscle groups, and will help you work out safely and effectively. Knowledgable, friendly, and invigorating; I hope to be back to working out with Joe, Josh, and the rest of the team at PFF soon. More...

Passion for Fitness was just what I was searching for in my journey as an athlete. As a dedicated climber there is a lot of demand placed on my shoulders. In the past 7 years my right shoulder has undergone a lot of trauma-- surgery for a torn rotator cuff and surgery with three months in a sling for a broken collar bone. On top of that I have scoliosis which rotates my right shoulder inward, making it challenging to use my shoulder in optimal positions. The upshot was that I had pretty constant impingement in that shoulder when I climbed despite my best efforts to rehab. Enter Joe Ransom: he worked to help me gain mobility and stability as well as increase my strength. Within a few visits I was rarely feeling impinged and today, four months later, I can’t remember the last time my shoulder felt impinged. I am climbing stronger than I ever have and I enjoy feeling the strength and stability gains transferring to all of my endeavors. More...

I feel so fortunate to have connected with Joe and the PFF Team! They are fun to train with and have taught me to truly enjoy working out. I feel myself getting stronger with each session and notice a significant improvement in my overall mood and ability to manage daily stressors. Through strength training, I have improved my balance and posture and have increased my performance in daily activities. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan have all been my biggest cheerleaders and never let me get discouraged. They have celebrated each one of my achievements and continue to inspire and keep me motivated to improve my health and performance. They have also made themselves available any time I had a question or concern. Prior attempts at working out were inconsistent due to pain and muscle spasms. This has not been my experience working with the PFF team, as they make sure that I am prepared for each exercise and I am able to make consistent gains.

Deciding that I needed to work with a personal trainer was one of the most important decisions I have made in last few years. Because of medical issues, I gained almost 100 lbs and at 69 years old, it seemed impossible for me to lose it even though I tried many programs and plans in the last 10 years. When I did a on-line search in February 2021, Bark opened up and I was able to check out several trainers, one of which was Passion for Fitness. Within a few minutes of putting in my information, I was contacted by Joe Ransom. It was only then I realized that he was on the East Coast and I was on the West coast, but because PFF was doing virtual training, it might work. Talking with Joe was so motivating and he laid out such a cohesive plan for me, that I knew it was a good fit. Since that time I have worked with several members of the PFF team and I have been amazed at the consistency they show. I have enjoyed working with each one of them. Since beginning my training, I have lost 20 lbs. and am feeling so much stronger and healthier. My diet has been a big issue for me and Joe definitely knows how to hold me accountable and yet motivate me at the same time. Joe has had training in the issues older people have to deal with, such as lower back pain, and he has been able to integrate the right exercises to help alleviate the pain that my doctors have been unable to do. I work out 2x each week for 30 minutes with one of the trainers over ZOOM and have access to Joe when there are questions or concerns with my routine or diet. Joe and the rest of the staff take my health very seriously and work hard to help me do the same. Thank you, Joe, Beth, Ryan, Josh, & Amanda for all of your hard work. More...

My post-quarantine weight loss journey at Passion for Fitness has just recently began and I have already been able to surmise that Joe Ransom and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about what they do. Perhaps a better way to say it would be that they are precise; every movement has a purpose and will have results if done correctly. I have never been so committed to a fitness program. I came to Passion for Fitness looking for a program that would not only help me realize my goals but would also be sensitive to my lower back issues and that is exactly what I have experienced. I have walked into the studio with back pain at a 10 and have walked out with little to no pain. The expertise is notable. I am looking forward to posting my achievements along the way and I am so pleased with the path that I am on with this team. More...

My 91 year old mother was having issues continuing her daily walking routine as her back was hurting her and severely limiting her mobility. In June of 2021 she started noticing she wasn't able to walk her normal 2 to 3 miles. By August she was only able to walk around the block and was in a lot of pain while walking and sitting. We reached out to Joe to see if there was something he could do to help her reduce her pain and get her back to walking 2 to 3 miles. After the consult Joe immediately identified the issue and said he would be able to help her. She started with 2 day a week sessions on September 28th and now after 2 months she is now able to walk her 2 miles without any issues. Joe also has her working out with 15 lb kettlebells. Her mobility improvement is nothing short of amazing. She looks forward to getting up each day to do her exercises and daily walks. Thank you Joe for doing an outstanding job giving my mother her mobility back! More...

After a two year hiatus, I am back to personal training and I am thrilled that I found Passion for Fitness! What makes Joe and his team stand out from my other personal training experiences is the focus on proper form and body alignment first before adding any weight. I thought the pain I experienced in my lower back was a normal part of lifting heavy weights. In working with Joe and team, I realized I’m using my back incorrectly and my form needs to improve. Because of this “form first” approach, I’m happy to say that I don’t feel back pain after a workout! More...

Passion for fitness has changed my life! For 5 years I have suffered from severe lower back pain.

I enjoy the opportunity to workout remotely. The customized daily workout routines allow me to workout on my personal schedule and I get good feedback on my progress.

My wife and I signed up about a year ago at Passion for Fitness in Phoenixville. Joe and his team are all oriented towards form, function, and safety. You will not be throwing around weights just because it is the current trend in fitness. Every exercise has a purpose. If you have restrictions from previous injuries or weaker muscle groups, the trainers can provide alternative exercises that are safe and effective. It is also a great place to gain whole body strength by working on the lats and glutes. It is crazy how much stronger I feel from working on those two muscle groups. Also, just because they are safety oriented programs does not mean you will not sweat! It is just like anything else in life, you get out of it what you put in. I promise that if you are motivated you will see results. All in all a great place to get fit. Check it out if you get a chance! More...

Joe has been great for coaching, holding me accountable and for helping me to be aware of my calorie intake. I have lost about 8 lbs already. I have always worked out & running has been my go to, but I developed a piriformis injury that hung around for almost 2 years. I also developed a shoulder injury from doing Bodypump. Once I started working out at Passion For Fitness for only 4 months, my piriformis injury has gone away & my shoulder injury is almost completely better. The honking classes have been great as well! I do a combination of personal training, honking classes, group classes and the running club. There are many options so that you can fit it in if you have a busy schedule.

As my time in the 30’s comes to an end and 40 is right around the corner, I recognized the critical need to pay closer attention to my health now more than ever. With a history of heart disease in my family and cholesterol levels slightly above where they should be despite being in average shape, it was time to make a concentrated investment in my health. Sitting out one evening in Eagleview Town Center, a friend mentioned Passion for Fitness and the incredible results he had achieved by working with the experienced and knowledgeable trainers at PFF. I delayed the decision for a few months, but recently took that step forward to a healthier lifestyle. Understanding that the physical component is only one aspect of a well- balanced lifestyle, I began adjusting my nutrition and consulted with a cardiologist solely based upon my family history. In my first 7 weeks, I dropped just under 8 pounds. Participation with both personal training sessions coupled with the available classes, has made me realize this journey is taking me down a much better path. Our health often times is pushed to the back burner with a lack of time being the primary reason. My time at PFF is now part of my routine because I have made it a priority. I have already seen and believe I will continue to see the results I expect. More...

I’ve struggled with my weight loss for years. I was able to lose a lot of weight on my own with just diet and exercise. However, once the scale stop moving, I started to get discouraged. Every day I would pass by Passion for Fittness. I figured maybe it’s time to try something different. The staff at Passion for Fittness want each and every one of their clients to be successful. On our first meeting, we set up a work out plan and I even signed up to receive a metabolic test, to see if I’m taking in enough calories to support my fitness goals. Small group classes, personal training, and even a cardio class called “honking” (basically bikes without seats), turned out to be exactly what I needed. Within the first few weeks, the scale moved.

Why did I join Passion for Fitness? A couple reasons, first off, the owner Joe is a neighbor of mine in Eagleview and we were talking about what gym I belong too and at the time I had stopped my membership at another gym due to the intensity of the bootcamp and overall program for someone over 50 with knee and low back issues. Joe talked to me for 30 minutes about the back, how it works and how we prone to injury the back is if we don't learn to workout correctly. I joined and saw and felt immediate benefits. Then it happened, I was traveling for work, 8 weeks on the road, three to four days a week at least, not good for the back. I ended up in the ER 2x within a month for 10/10 pain in my low back. I herniated one or two Lumbar discs. Ouch! Joe had me come in two times a week to learn how to help heal the herniation and begin to "load" correctly, understand what was happening to my lower back. With knowledge came power and improvement. This is the first time I could see and feel my back healing. After two weeks, multiple sessions and doing my homework/exercises at home, i can now see myself having a healthy back and getting back to the activities I enjoy in life. I live in Eagleview, if you do, get to Passion For Fitness, its not a "pop-up" fad gym, its not a "cross fit" model that only promotes over use of muscles and can cause injury, but a method of healing and gaining strength, core, and confidence! The staff is engaging, passionate and extremely well knowledgeable on all aspects of being healthy from workouts to nutrition, they have you covered! Phew....I have a new, old back and thrilled!
