Drew Dinwiddie Personal Training

As someone who has been unhealthy and overweight all of my life with a distant goal of one day being fit, I have tried every exercise plan, fad, and diet with only negative results.
After failing miserably at achieving my goal either on my own or with other personal trainers, a colleague of mine recommended Drew Dinwiddie. Though reluctant, I decided I would give personal training one more try and I am happy to share that, since becoming a member of his studio, my expectations of assistance in reaching my fitness goal were greatly exceeded.
Upon joining, I was an unhealthy 357 pounds, had low self-​confidence, a negative body-​image, and, at 31 years old, had already begun feeling the physical effects carrying that much unhealthy weight had on my body including joint and back pain, elevated blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Since then, I have lost 90 pounds, greatly increased my strength and energy, and gained self-​confidence along with a more positive body image. My blood pressure is normal, I no longer experience joint and back pain, and I no longer suffer from sleep apnea. I feel healthy, energetic, confident, and even feel a sense of being reborn with a new, more positive outlook.
These results are, in no doubt, due to Drew’s expertise in physical conditioning, strength training, and nutrition allowing him to provide a personalized exercise program for me to achieve my fitness goals. Additionally, Drew’s ²⁴⁄₇ availability via phone and e-​mail allows for constant, positive advice and encouragement.
As I continue my journey towards my goal, I intend to remain a member of Drew’s studio every step of the way as, without his help, I would not have made it this far. His calm demeanor, professionalism, expertise, and passionate commitment to his clients and their fitness goals lay the perfect groundwork for an improved and positive existence for anyone interested in having Drew Dinwiddie as their personal trainer.

Approaching my 51^st birthday I reached a point in my life where I looked back and questioned decisions made and looked forward hoping to make the best decisions for my family, my career and myself. An area that certainly needed attention was my overall health and fitness — I was overweight, barely active and had recently begun taking both cholesterol and blood pressure medications. I needed to change and decided to finally take action but I knew I needed a partner to guide and motivate me on the journey.
After some research I reached out to Drew and we discussed my current condition and my goals of losing 30 pounds and improving my overall fitness level. Drew provided some fantastic recommendations and we agreed to meet at the gym for a workout. Based on my goals, Drew quickly developed a plan that included an intense focus on nutrition, which included keeping a food log and a workout that kick-​started my metabolism while improving my overall strength. Drew ensured each session was unique and challenging enough to make me think twice about showing up every day, which I continued to do like clockwork. Within the first few months, my weight dropped and my fitness level improved from me being barely able to do push-​ups from my knees or run ¼ mile to doing over 100 REAL push-​ups per session and running 2 to 3 miles several times a week. Something else unexpected happened — my doctor took me off both the blood pressure and cholesterol medications several months ago based on the progress Drew and I made.
I’ve been working with Drew now for over 9 months, lost 35 pounds including 5 — 6 inches off my waist, and improved my overall fitness level. Even now, Drew continues to be a great motivator, dedicated partner and I’d even say good friend who is eager to see me succeed.
If you are looking for a personal trainer, make that partner, I can provide no higher praise or recommendation than what I have for Drew.
I have to admit, thanks to Drew, when I look in the mirror these days I am happy with what I see.

After 10 months of training with Drew, I can not think of a better person to lead you down a path you have not traveled and leave a trail for others. Drew changed the way I think about exercising, eating, running and living your life. If you want to make it work, Drew will teach you a way of life more than an exercise routine. If you follow his advice and stick with it, you can’t go wrong AND you will see amazing results. Drew does not dictate a certain workout program or style but rather tailors a program to your needs. If you follow his tailored plan, you will see results.
I have lost 25 pounds, 5 inches off of my waist and substantial gains in my chest, arm and leg size. I am a long distance runner and Drew helped me get where I need to be with my long and short runs. I shaved 14 minutes off of my long runs and 8 minutes off of my short runs. I ran my first _​marathon in two years after training with Drew and I reached my personal best time!
