bodyfat 15.5% to 8, minus 30 pounds

Over the years, I've tried a lot of different activities in the name of health and challenging myself (including becoming a vegan for 2 years and running a marathon), but I secretly always hoped it would give me that cover of Runners World physique. It didn't! Eventually, I had accepted that no matter how hard I worked, my body was naturally just oddly shaped and that I was fit and that's just good enough considering I was still in much better shape than most of the people I knew.

I honestly was blown away by the results that I saw in just the first 3 weeks of training with Larry! In addition to helping me get rid of my butt, Larry has been helping me correct posture issues that I wasn't even aware of eliminating knee pain I had occasionally gotten from running for the past 4 years.

He has a very in-depth knowledge of kinesiology and nutrition and has explained away many of the myths from those bizarre fad diets and exercise routines we try to ignore but that somehow get into our heads anyway. Probably the most valuable thing I've learned from Larry and Jason is that staying in great shape isn't nearly as time consuming as I had imagined it would be. I only wish I'd known this 10 years ago when I was working so hard for half of the results.

10 weeks 190 pounds and 16% body fat to 170 pounds and 8% body fat

I have worked with a number of trainers over the years so I have a good basis for comparison. I was happy with my other trainers at the time but Larry has proven to be the best. He has an excellent knowledge of physiology, and a keen awareness of how each exercise looks when done properly. He explains each exercise in simple terms that I understand easily. He is able to tell me exactly where I should feel each exercise, allowing me to know whether I’m doing it correctly. His feedback gives each of my work-outs optimum efficiency. I have obtained incredible results, and learned a lot in a short time. Larry is very professional. I never feel intimidated or embarrassed even if I can’t do something right away. He always puts me at ease, interjecting encouragement and humor. He makes the work-outs as much fun as they are effective.

5 months, 5'4" 180 pounds to 147 pounds

I've trained with Larry for over 3 years and initially my goal was to lose 20 lbs and tone certain areas of my body. Larry made that challenge fun and attainable. But the true testament to Larry's skills is teaching me how to keep it off and still be able to enjoy my life.

Anybody can lose weight; the challenge is keeping it off. I've been able to keep the 20 lbs off ever since and continue to train with Larry to stay healthy and fit. Larry has taught me how to eat properly so that I can stay at my goal weight while still enjoying the finer things
in life (that would be ice cream).

Larry takes that dreaded workout and turns it into an eagerly anticipated experience. He mixes up each session keeping it exciting yet challenging. He knows how to push you both mentally and physically to achieve maximum results and his customized program has included an easily adaptable nutrition plan, full body resistance routine and flexible cardio sessions. All I can say is results, results, results.... Thanks Larry!

8 weeks, 197 pounds and 20% body fat to 181 pounds and 14% body fat

I came to Larry with a bulging disk, a very high body fat percentage, and a whole lot of weight. My back pain has significantly decreased, I feel more mobile and quick when playing basketball, and most importantly have lost over 12 Lbs in 4 weeks. Larry is the most attentive and concerned trainer I have ever seen. He is always available and welcoming to questions. I would recommend him to anyone for anything relating to health and life wellness.

20 weeks, 152 and 18% body fat, bulk up 176 pounds and 22% body fat, cut down to 143 pounds and 5% body fat.

I had three trainers before Larry. But shortly after I started working out with him, I was 100% sure he is simply the best. He is very knowledgeable about anatomy kinesiology and nutrition. What impresses me even more is his approach to personal training. He is really focused, disciplined and extremely patient. He adapts the training programs according to how your body responds. He creates a very supportive environment, and at the same time, motivates and challenges you to push the limit. He really cares about your progress and checks on your diet and weight every day. On top of all these, he has a great personality and is a wonderful friend who brings tons of positive energy into my life. I only wish I had found him earlier and now he is absolutely indispensable in my pursuit of a better body.

8 weeks, 207.5 pounds and 16.5% body fat to 195 pounds and 8.5% body fat

I have been competitively bodybuilding for the past 2 years. I have worked with two other personal trainers to help me reach my weight loss and muscle gain goals. But it is really in the past 7 months working with Larry that i have learned the most about muscle gain and fat loss. When it comes to Nutrition i do not know someone who is more knowledgeable then Larry. I have surpassed all the goals i set for myself under his training. If youd like to reach that weight loss or muscle gain goal you set for yourself Larry is the man that can really show you the way.

bodyfat 20% to 13.6%, minus 15 pounds

I got to a point in my life where I needed to change the way I looked and felt. Even though I had worked with various trainers over the years (with mixed results) I really wanted an instructor who motivated me to do well, cared about my progress and kept me interested every session. Hands down, Larry Cook is that trainer. Larry made me accountable for my diet, designed a weight training program for my specific needs and made reaching my goal(s) fun. When my wife, family and friends compliment the "new me" it's a wonderful feeling, and it validates who Larry is as a trainer. He is simply the best.

6 months, 140 pounds and 14% body fat, bulk up to 170 pounds and 18% body fat, cut down to 144 pounds and 5 % body fat

Larry is great. He works with you so your goals are manageable and you see results. He's not the type of trainer that barks orders at you, but he also not the type that goes easy on you. It's a good combination and I highly recommend him!
