Angela McCuiston is a phenomenal trainer; best I've ever had. Unfortunately, my work schedule made it necessary to postpone my workouts as we had originally scheduled. I hope I can return in the future. I do have a workout plan that I wouldn’t have had if it wasn't for her ♥️ More...

I contacted Dan as I was looking for a nutrition coach who could help me with consistency and commitment to healthy eating and keep me from getting off track. My results from working with Dan exceeded my expectations and his advice significantly contributed to losing over 20 lbs. in the first month of working together. Dan had been a great resource for ideas on how to maintain healthy eating in a consistent fashion. His advice is not cookie cutter but client focused and personalized. What I enjoy most about working with Dan is that he is a steady partner when things get off track or get complicated. I find Dan to be pleasant, practical and easy to discuss issues with. He has provided plenty of encouragement and support. I plan to continue working with Dan and strongly recommend him. More...

I had tried “eating healthy” many times before. I would always burn our eating the same things over and over again. Dan’s system has been a game changer for me. Having the grocery list at the beginning of the week, letting me know exactly what I need to buy is so easy. I’m never overeating because I have exactly what I need for each meal and it’s filling. I have a roofing company and am always on the go, this is one less thing that I have to think about. Have lost 16 lbs in a month and a half and feel great! 10/10 recommend. More...

How do you begin to write a review, when the man about whom you are writing, cannot be captured by words alone? Dan DeFigio has been in my life, as my trainer, my therapist(physical and mental--sorry about that Dan), my nutritionist, my life coach, and, above all, my friend, for 28 years. Dan has taken my broken body(from numerous back surgeries), and strengthened me/conditioned me, to be able to have a life again. Free of pain. Dan has always found the solution to help me find the precise way to allow my body to heal and function; something no other trainer has ever been able to do. Over all of that however, is the compassion, kindness and brilliance of a gentle man with a huge heart. Thank you Dan. You have given me my life back. There are no words that will ever be able to express the gratitude that I feel for you. More...

it was intimidating working wirh a trainer as someone who is super out of shape. So glad I started working with Jon despite being worried I was a lost cause. Jon has been incredibly kind and so helpful. The value he provides is off the charts. He's easy accessible, very flexible with scheduling, and his workouts will make you sore for days. More...

From a bad fall to a great half-marathon.When I first reached out to Dan, I lamented how little time I had. Travel, work, kids, work. I was working the equivalent of three jobs and traveling a lot. I knew I needed to work out, but I was afraid of so much. I started working with my trainer, Arren. A perfect match for me. Encouraging, consistent, but creative in the ways he helped me get through those hard first few weeks. Then the worst happened (or so I thought).I fell and broke my wrist in September, just a couple of months after I started. The bad kind - surgery and pins and plates BUT because of Arren and Dan and the incredibly supportive set up of Basics and Beyond, the experience helped me in so many ways. I figured out how resilient our bodies are, how consistent work really can make a difference, and more. Oh, and to get use of my hand/wrist back, it meant at least a couple of hours a day doing exercises. Funny how a time excuse can be removed quickly when your livelihood is at stake.I went from that fall to a new commitment to making sure I took the time to take care of myself. I signed up for a half-marathon in October and used my rehab time to also start training. Arren helped me prepare and train in the gym, he helped me navigate how to go from nothing to 13.1 miles in 3:30 or less, and he walked me through how to eat and prepare for the actual day. Not only did I go strong the whole race, but I now have full use of my hand - it's actually the one holding that medal! Thank you Dan, Arren, Tim, and all the team. I did it because you do a great job every day! More...

I've suffered from a lower back injury since my mid-twenties. I've had regular chiropractic care for decades. After nearly 30 years in the corporate sitting position, I have accumulated chronic painful conditions in my lower back and right shoulder. After four visits to two orthopedic doctors, a cortizone shot, chiropractic treatments 3x per week, a month of completely useless physical therapy, bottles of Advil and over $3,000 wasted, I started with Dan DeFigio at Basics and Beyond. I have had 4 sessions with Dan. I am nearly pain free in my back and my shoulder is almost back to normal. Dan's knowledge of muscular physiology is immense, detailed and practical, but Dan's application is artful and intuitive. Dan treats the underlying root causes of problems - not just symptoms. I've been a gym regular for almost 40 years and have seen hundreds of personal trainers in action. Dan is so far beyond any trainer I've ever seen, that the title of "trainer" is inadequate. I think Dan should have the title "Exercise Shaman" on his business card. More...

After almost 5 years of living with pain on a pretty regular basis, I did some searching and reached out to Basics and Beyond in the summer of 2017. I had developed a SI Joint problem from years of sitting and working at a computer for way too many hours each day. I’ve been working with Angela for a bit over 6 months now and the entire experience has been awesome. I am for the most part totally pain free with just very occasional moments of pain/discomfort, which seem to be a direct result of me falling behind on my exercise and spending too much time working at the computer.Previously I had seen good chiropractors and massage therapists, who were all helpful, but nothing has helped nearly as much as working with Angela from Basics and Beyond and getting my body in shape. I’m feeling much stronger, more energized, and more stable, plus there’s the added bonus of looking better too ;)Not only am I learning how to properly work out and getting in shape, but I’m also learning about my physical ailments (turns out I have a couple), proper posture and things I can put into practice in my day to day. Angela is extremely knowledgeable. I learn something new with each session, which I attend 2 days per week. Whenever I do have any pain or discomfort I describe it to Angela and she always seems to have the answers - educating me and giving me an exercise that often immediately addresses and alleviates the pain.They really do go above and beyond the basics.Highly recommend for anyone and everyoneThank you so much!
