I was in a work-out rut. I’d spent more than a year focusing on losing weight and running was my singular key to success. Although the number on the scale had gone down, I was getting injured a lot and I wasn’t in what I would consider to be great shape. I wasn’t toned or feeling very fit at all. I’d heard about Chris Morel through several friends who raved about his knowledge, positivity and dedication. So I gave him a try. I liked Chris immediately. It’s impossible not to. Chris exudes energy, excitement and a natural, authentic interest in helping you discover and reach your fitness goals. We spent some time getting to know each other and then he developed a unique, personalized plan just for me. It was exhilarating to move through a full-body workout with Chris. He guided my form, encouraged me to push my limits, and always emphasized the value of listening to your body. Stop when it hurts! It’s an important lesson I learned from Chris. There are always ways to work around pain and still get in a tough workout. Speaking of tough, Chris helped me push myself beyond what I ever thought I was capable of. When he walked over to the free weight section of the gym and told me I would be doing squats with a huge barbell, I laughed at him. He just smiled and racked up the weights, then slowly showed me how to do it. Guess what? The free weight stuff is awesome! It makes me feel so powerful and strong. I never would have even gone near that equipment without Chris’s encouragement. Throughout the time we worked out together, Chris checked in with me often via text and email, he regularly adapted and updated my plan so that I was learning new stuff all the time and pushing my limits at a comfortable level. And the work paid off. I am stronger and firmer than I’ve been in years. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Additionally, Chris’s encouragement, smile, high-fives and enthusiasm are contagious. There are few people out there who enjoy their work as much as Chris. It’s a pleasure to work out with him. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer. Seriously...I don’t think you could do better than Chris Morel. Sincerely, Pam Johnston

I decided it was beyond time to get back into a gym. However I was concerned that the carpal and tennis elbow in my left arms would hold me back. I also felt, after seeing my Wife have great success with a one on one personal trainer, that a trainer would help motivate me and guide me. I found Pinnacle in a search, read all the positive reviews, called Chris and met him a day later. His enthusiasm and knowledge impressed me and I felt safe in signing up for six months. Training is semi private with an ~3:1 ratio of clients to trainers. This seemed ideal to me. Someone to guide your form, but not hovering over you like your own personal drill sergeant. Plus the price was right. One on one training is 2-3x more expensive. Chris and his staff have been great. They always ask me how everything feels before I start working out. They always have a modification to adjust my workout if something isnt right. They are always happy to see me and I am always happy to see them. Six weeks in and my core is stronger (I have a bad disc) and I am down about 5lbs. My carpal tunnel is 75% better and my chronic tennis elbow hasnt flared once. I am so happy I gave Chris and Pinnacle a try. It isnt a gym filled with body builders either. Just real people getting real help with a dose of real heart.

Working out @ Pinnacle is amazing! The workouts are tailored to exactly what you need in order to achieve your specific results. The workouts are always changing, theyre always challenging and theyre fun! The facility is clean and inviting and the energy in there really just gets you motivated. Chris is a great motivator. Hes got the energy, the knowledge and the patience to get you where you want to be. In the time Ive been there Ive lost 12 pounds, countless inches and my physique is completely different. Im strong and lean, I have muscles in places I didnt know existed and I just feel great! Ive really enjoyed my 7AM workouts! And if I couldnt make my 7AM, there is flexible scheduling which was also a big plus! If youre on the fence about personal training, go sit and talk with Chris and then make up your mind :)

Both my wife and I have been working a fitness plan with Pinnacle Fitness with amazing results! Chris and his staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable and positive motivators for anyone from the soccer mom to the serious athlete. Not only do I look and feel better, I learned how to eat and live healthier. And my wife went from "Hot" to "Scalding"!!! We moved recently and she was able to help move heavy furniture with no issues. She is shopping and cooking healthier and our whole quality of life has increased tremendously.To anyone who really wants to work hard and see results, you must get to Pinnacle Fitness. Like the other reviews state, Chris offers personalized workouts and diet plans that really work. I am so happy with the results and am so grateful to Chris and his team (Pat).

Honestly, there arent enough stars to give Chris and Pinnacle Fitness. Chris has been my personal trainer for about 5 months, and I am in the best physical/mental shape of my life. The couple of sessions a week keeps me mentally grounded and keeps my stress at bay. Chris/Patrick are particularly observant to my reaction to every exercise. If I show signs of exhaustion or discomfort due to a given physical move, they will immediately ask if I am okay and if I want to continue. Everyone at Pinnacle Fitness is very sensitive to my well being. When I had an unrelated hip injury, he (Chris) modified my workouts to allow me time to heal and strengthen my hip. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Chris and Pinnacle Fitness!!!!

I am a 70 year old woman who has never set foot in a gym before Pinnacle Fitness. My doctor recommended that I find a gym to help me with strength. I visited a couple of gyms and was very intimidated until I came to Pinnacle Fitness and met with Chris Morel the owner. I knew immediately that this place was the best fit for me. The individualized programs and coaching are invaluable. I cant say enough good things about Chris and his coaches...they are the best! If anyone is on the fence about joining a gym, that will guide you along the way, I would highly recommend your giving Pinnacle a try because you wont be disappointed and will see results. Carolyn M.

Before signing up with Chris I had never worked out before and he has completely changed my attitude about it! My mother and I signed up to lose weight and get in shape for my sisters wedding and I have stuck with it thanks to Chris help. He is very dedicated to his clients and designs his work outs based on each person individually which sets you up to achieve your goals!! He is very knowledgeable and is there to motivate you every step of the way. I would and have recommended him to anyone who is looking to get into their best shape and feeling great :) !!!
