"Well what can I say. First Thank you Lucas for helping me change my life for the better. I started my journey training with Lucas a year ago. I went to him seeking advice and training to assist in post-recovery from double knee surgery. I had gone through the list of physical therapists after my surgeries. I found that the therapists (my own conclusion) were only interested in helping me learn to walk and do minor skills; for which I was happy. I mean after double surgery, who wouldn't be happy to just walk again. I had asked specifically for therapy to regain some level of my active sports life and for multiple reasons I was continually blown off and told no. Anyway after explaining my situation to Lucas, he immediately said what I need is strength & mobility training and he began to explain his process. I will admit my embarrassment and frustration to not being able to do the most basic of stretches and movements. Lucas took his time with me, as we started re-teaching my muscles to move. At first, even the simple things like bending over to pick up a piece of paper or anything that had fallen to the ground hurt and caused excruciating pain; a toddler had better coordination & mobility than me. I was a broken turtle flipped over "help I can't get up." We started with his "magic box", just trying to sit and touch and within 5 months I successfully mastered sitting and standing up unassisted. Next we progressed and soon I was able to squat without the aid of the box. Thus my journey was on the right path and I knew I had made the correct decision to train with Lucas and recover my mobility and strength. Next, we started rehabilitating my knees (yeah it hurt at first) and I slowly learned how to flex my knees correctly and do 90/90's, combat stretches and yes squats. It still takes me a few seconds to get my knees to cooperate but it has improved. One day, I surprised both of us at the end of our session when I stood up rather quickly without assistance; oh my what a surprise that was.

Next, I initiated discussion of proper weight loss/management. I explained my multiple issues and unsuccessful trials from the "other dietary professionals". He was able to create a plan that has worked for me and incorporated strength training into my program. Lucas accompanied me on my grocery shopping and explained based on my issues what was healthy to eat and what exactly "1 serving" meant. Honestly, someone telling you to eat 1 serving and not explaining it so I could see it in my mind wasn't working. Happily after a very successful year with Lucas/AMP I have lost weight, improved my mobility and gained a ton of strength (#160/#110). I can see my goals in sight and there is light at the end of my tunnel. I think it's just his Jedi mind tricks. You know when he adds weight to the bars and doesn't tell you, or asks "how's it feel, where's it hurt?"

Okay, so i've written my testimonial on the short end (yes really I did); to anyone reading this outside of his group and you're looking for a personal trainer who cares on all aspects: respects you, genuinely cares about your self improvement, well being and listens with great conversations and honest feedback give him a call or just look him up. You'll be very happy you did take that step to change your life. I know my life has changed for the better. That's my year in a nutshell with Lucas/AMP." Deadbugs rule!! Thank you Lucas/AMP."
