Keep your head up and look in the mirror”, “move your feet”, “shoulders back and slow down”-these are some of the phrases I hear often when I work out with Lenny Graham. Lenny has been my trainer since January, 2011 and I am so happy with his results.

When I first started with him, I told Lenny that I have Multiple Sclerosis, not thinking he would be able to help me because I thought working out and my MS issues were two different topics, but was I wrong! Luckily, I do not have any blatant physical limitations, but right off the bat, Lenny noticed my slightly limping gait and showed me various moves to improve the walk and has worked on my balance, agility and coordination issues, along with things I thought were “just part of dealing with MS”. I had been to physical therapy sessions in the past for my MS, but Lenny’s knowledge and know-how is so vast, I learn a thing or two each time he works with me-from his Boot Camps, training or just talking with him. He customizes each work out and is 100% focused on me when I am with him-he has a great sense of humor which make the sessions more enjoyable.

I started 2011 with the intention of hiring a personal trainer and doing something for me, getting stronger and toned, and I have seen the results over and over again and then some. I have lost 20+ pounds, several inches and greatly improved my strength and stability. Lenny has “righted” the wrong moves and habits I picked up through the years. I am going to stick with Lenny because he has proven to me that no matter what I can continue to improve. I am now playing “catch-up” and hopefully with his guidance I will be ahead of the curve with this finicky and unpredictable disease. Thanks, Lenny!

“It is a pleasure and privilege working out regularly with Lenny Graham. With his knowledge of physical training, anatomy and nutrition, I am certainly stronger, healthier and better educated for all of the components of a comprehensive fitness regime. I could be the "poster boy" for sub-standard trainers. Since I began a formal program six years ago, I have experienced a parade of trainers - 23 different trainers, actually. Almost all were ill-trained themselves, and the majority were comparative novices to the expertise I finally discovered with Lenny. I guess you don't really know or appreciate a true professional until you meet one. I have been training with Lenny since 2006 and it illuminates how much time and effort I wasted previously.
Lenny employs a very fluid and customized program for my conditioning and needs. We do a blend of traditional and unconventional exercises. And he does not ever allow me to lose sight of diet and nutrition. I understand what we do and why we do it. And we get results. This is what differentiates a professional trainer versus an amateur practitioner.
Lenny is clearly the best (after all, he teaches and trains trainers). I could not ask for a more knowledgeable and effective trainer and coach. He is an excellent motivator and a real pro. It may hurt like hell but I look forward to every session with Lenny. “

6 years ago, I weighed in at 160 lbs and wore a tight size 16. I vowed to make a change and enrolled myself in a gym and started mindlessly working out. Even though I was spending hours on end on the treadmill and eating like a rabbit, somehow I just couldn't drop the weight like I wanted to. Like many, I found being on an elliptical for an hour was quite torturous and boring and all I could do to make the time pass faster, was to people-watch at the gym. I tried getting a personal trainer too, but I was disappointed at the lack of experience and sense of motivation they gave me.
But... then one day, I noticed this diesel, wide-smiled gentleman training someone and I couldn't help but continue to watch him throughout his entire session. Something about this guy was intriguing. Not only did this big bag of muscles look the part, but his fitness lingo was beyond most trainers that I have come across.
One day, I got the courage to say hello and introduce myself to "Lenny".
Even though Lenny was always booked with clients, he always made time for me if I had any questions and was never hesitant about throwing free tips my way.
About 6 months ago, I managed to get my body down to a size 4 through healthy eating and moderate exercise. My body was hitting a major plateau and my genetically-disposed hips were holding on for dear life. I knew the next step to achieving a bikini body was to contact Lenny.
I grabbed my phone and sent a text to Lenny, and within minutes he responded saying that he was so excited that he's finally going to torture me... I mean "train" me ha ha...
It has been 6 AMAZING months with Lenny, and I have to say that I have enjoyed every minute of every workout. In just the last few months, I have transformed my body like I never thought I could. Every time I look at the mirror and examine my physique, I'm just at awe at how incredible my muscles look. Not to mention, my wide hips are finally looking sexy and proportionate to my frame.
The last few months. life has been a bit overwhelming for me from family issues to financial instability, but somehow, all of that was put aside when I stepped foot in the gym to see Lenny. He truly was and is my therapy.
The only negative aspect or regret I have about being Lenny's client, is that I wish that I would have started even sooner. I can only imagine how incredible my body would look by now and how my confidence would be soaring.
I love you Lenny Graham and can't wait to see you again! And again... and again...!!!

Having undergone surgery for a torn ACL (the result of a ski accident) I was having trouble getting my knee strength back to where I wanted it. I was experiencing a lot of stiffness and discomfort, and wasn’t sure if I was working out improperly or overdoing it. As an active ski patroller and skiing enthusiast, I was eager to return to the slopes. Having missed almost two seasons, it was important to me to be in the best shape possible in advance of the season.

I was afraid that at 45 years of age, and with a list of other physical problems, it would be impossible for me to get back to peak performance. Not only did I have chronic pain in my post-operative knee, but I also had previously arthroscopy on both knees, two herniated discs, and problems with ankle stability due to repetitive sprains. In addition, I have a dysfunctional SI joint in my hip which frequently was so painful it kept me from sleeping through the night, and as a result I was constantly fighting exhaustion. I was a real mess and realized that I needed help.

Lenny quickly diagnosed my chronic knee discomfort as being caused by a tight IT (iliotibial) band, which runs down the outside of the quad muscle. (I had never even heard of an IT band before.) He taught me stretches that enabled me to quickly remedy this issue, and the knee pain disappeared. Then Lenny took a look at the types of exercises I had been doing, and my less than perfect form. He saw that these were responsible for aggravating my dysfunctional SI joint. Lenny specifically designed a program for me so as to not aggravate my SI joint or any of my other issues, or hinder my progress in any way. The result is that my legs are in the best shape they’ve been in years. In addition, the exercises that Lenny taught me have helped with ankle strength and stability. This in turn significantly improved my balance, which is a huge benefit in general, and especially with skiing.

Not only did Lenny get me back on the slopes in great shape, he also helped improve my overall quality of life by eliminating all the other issues that had me in near constant pain and discomfort. The program he put together is effective and easy to follow. In addition, Lenny helped me with nutrition advice to help build muscle and trim fat. To say I am impressed with his wealth of knowledge would be an understatement.

I keep up with the program Lenny designed and stretch regularly. I am feeling stronger than I have in years, and my range of motion and flexibility is also as good as it’s ever been. And my first year back skiing was one of my best. I have well exceeded the expectations and specific goals I set for myself, and I owe it all to Lenny Graham. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

The experience and results I’ve attained while working with Lenny have been nothing short of incredible. I've spent a majority of my life overweight, peaking at a little over 320lbs. I’ve observed and consulted with trainers at various gyms and in varying geographic areas over the past few years, and my experience with them has left me disappointed to say the least. A vast majority of the trainers I've experienced were not properly trained, and their knowledge in aspects such as anatomy and nutrition was almost non-existent. Lenny's immense knowledge in physiology and nutrition, combined with 30+ years of personal experience in gyms and competing at the national level makes him best-of-breed within his field. He has intense passion and uncompromising integrity, and his professionalism and sense of tradecraft is admirable and without comparison. The program and methods he employs combine traditional and non-traditional movements, and are designed to challenge and develop your body promoting a lifetime of health and wellness. He is engaged 110% throughout each session, and has a unique ability to relate to each person motivating them to push forward when everything else is telling them to turn back.

I know many people may still be skeptical after reading all these reviews. After all, why would someone trying to promote them self post a bad review? If all the praise still doesn’t spark some curiosity, try these facts out for size:

My results after two years of working with Lenny:
BEFORE: I weighed in at 322 lbs.
AFTER: I now weigh 250 lbs

BEFORE: My waist was a size 44, and my shirts required a 19 neck to fit properly throughout.
AFTER: My waist is now a normal size 38, and I can fit into fitted shirts with a 17 1/2-18 neck. No more shopping online at "Big and Tall" stores for clothes.

BEFORE: My suites required a 54 custom jacket

Lenny Graham has been my personal trainer for two years. Multiple health issues made me realize I needed to be in the care of a professional who has the expertise to assess my needs. I was fortunate to be introduced to Lenny whose credentials are outstanding.

Lenny is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), the highest credential available for professionals within his field. He’s a graduate and instructor at the National Personal Training Institute (NPTI), a top tier educational institute, for training future trainers. In addition to his 30+ years of experience as a trainer and athlete Lenny is certified in Anatomy and Nutrition and is currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Nutrition.

It is obvious he is passionate about his work, is very thorough, and encourages you to ask any questions you may have. He has a wealth of knowledge in every aspect of personal training, fitness and Nutrition. If you’re not having your best day during a session, he develops a different approach that allows you to overcome your obstacle, enabling you to continue to make progress.

Because of Lenny’s expertise and encouragement, I am much stronger today and now able to handle my daily activities with confidence. My family has been thrilled to see the progress I’ve made.
Millie Waldspurger

After years of doing the same work-out, I felt stale and unmotivated. Lenny gave me a different approach that made my work-outs more efficient and effective. He is a professional that knows his craft and always communicates in a very positive and motivating way. He is clearly a true professional in his craft, and I would recommend him extremely highly.

Lenny Graham has been training clients at my facility for the past two years. Without question, he is the most knowledgable and professional Personal Trainer I have ever met. His knowledge of human anatomy as well as exercise science is highly extensive and he routinely educates his clients as he trains them. In addition, he makes training FUN while maintaining a decor of true professionalism. I personally have had clients who, in the past, have never opted for personal training and, after one workout with Lenny, have become permanent clients. It is a true pleasure to work with him at my facility.

“I’ve come to realize that it truly takes an education in anatomy, nutrition, and personal fitness training coupled with motivation, dedication, and drive, and a passion in helping others succeed, to be a successful personal fitness trainer. And this is exactly what Lenny Graham is all about. Lenny empowers me to achieve and succeed in my personal training program every week, and the results I achieved in my first five weeks of training with him alone (a 7.5 inch loss!) were enough to prove he is my training partner for life. I highly recommend Lenny as an experienced fitness trainer, coach, and motivator.”
Leigh Fazzina

“Dilip and I love working out individually and together with Lenny! We both travel for work and have very busy lives, and working out together gives us an opportunity to spend quality time with each other. Lenny is supportive and encouraging during our sessions, and personalizes the workouts to meet each of our individual needs and goals. We have definitely seen results from our training and feel very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable trainer.”
Jill and Dilip Petigara

"I used to be a runner and that's mostly what I did to stay fit. So I had a lot of resistance but my body was lacking strength. I tried two trainers but I saw no results. Lenny took my physical training to a new level. He helped me achieve my goals by focusing on a proper diet and a tailored set of exercises, and also by expanding what I considered my limits and being an incentive to not cancelling any session (well, almost!)" Federico Melo, M.D.

"I've been trained by other trainers, but the experience and results were nothing like my training sessions with Lenny. Other trainers walked me around a gym, put me on any machine that was available, and stood there giving me very little instruction. With several training sessions, I saw minimum results. But with Lenny, it was the complete opposite. Lenny was totally engaged throughout my workout. Lenny focuses very much on form and he actually explains every movement. I finally learned WHY I was doing each exercise. Not only did I physically improve from his workouts, but I also gained so much knowledge from every session with him. I finally gained self-confidence that made me feel that I could workout in front of others without being intimidated! After I reached my goals with Lenny, I was so motivated that I applied to the National Personal Training Institute to get nationally certified as a personal trainer. As a teacher of the Philadelphia School District I was extremely impressed after seeing Lenny in action in the classroom too. Lenny adapted this vigorous 500-hour course to real-life situations. With many years of experience in the field and his extensive knowledge on various topics he made it easier for the wide assortment of students to learn many complex concepts and terms.

I am so lucky to not only be able to have Lenny as a trainer and teacher, but also as great mentor to me.

If you want the best, there's no other place to look!
Lenny Graham provides the ultimate personal training experience that will become your life-long practice!"

“I have been working out with Lenny since May 2007 and it has been a great experience. Lenny’s knowledge of physiology, training ,and personal experience as a power-lifter make him unique. Not only does he go through the motions with you but pays close attention to everything that you are doing while training. Along with a great sense of humor, he corrects and educates you on the proper way to train your body so that you can have a lifetime of good physical health and great weight training habits. Lenny is also great at pushing you when you want to be pushed and changing your workout so that you have variety. I would strongly recommend Lenny to anyone. Since I changed my eating habits in Sept 2007 and worked with Lenny I have gained muscle and lost 10 pounds of body fat.”

"I spent the last 7 years of my life weighting at least 220 pounds. At 5'2 my BMI was 40.3 (considered morbidly obese). I had let myself go, and being a mother of 3 was no excuse. My youngest child was 7 years old and I weighed more than I did when I delivered him. It was embarrassing to be so overweight, as I was a research coordinator in the Department of Cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania. All of my coworkers were in great shape. Over the years I tried every diet, low fat, low carbohydrate, and low calories. Nothing worked. My attitude and outlook changed when I met Lenny Graham. The most important lesson I learned is that I needed a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. Working with Lenny I learned that healthy eating and exercise go hand in hand. His nutritional and exercise expertise were the perfect combination for the healthy lifestyle approach he taught me. I met with him twice a week for a weight and cardiovascular workout and he reviewed my food records. One year later I weigh 75 pounds less! Two weeks ago I ran my first marathon and I feel great. More important than how I look on the outside, is how I feel on the inside. I feel strong and confident. I know that following a healthy diet and exercising I am giving myself the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Lenny took the challenge and we met the goal together!"
Monica Williams, Clinical Trial Manager

"My husband and I have trained with Lenny for almost a year. We’ve found him to be highly professional and adept at structuring a work out, which is both challenging and beneficial. The big plus for us with Lenny, however, is his positive manner and sense of humor, which helps to make the time pass quickly. We consistently enjoy the work out sessions and feel our level of fitness has never been higher. We strongly recommend the training services of Lenny. Give him a try…… you won’t be disappointed."
