REVIEWS

Bush Refrigeration

Lance has always displayed a high degree of professionalism and punctuality.  Lance also has a great personality and can still be professional with many personalities.  Lance not only helps us during our workout, but also will answer any questions after.  He gives advice on our workout, our health, and our nutrition.  Since working with Lance I can see a big difference in our employee’s productivity and energy levels. I would recommend Lance as a personal trainer to anyone who is seriously thinking of improving their lifestyle.

I have been working with Lance for a number of months, and during this time he has impressed me with his professionalism and dedication to the task at hand.  It is obvious that he has a great wealth of knowledge and experience that makes him so valuable to his clientele.  I have worked with a number of trainers in the past, and there are apparent differences that put Mr. Parvin ahead of the rest.  Your level of fitness will increase when working with him.  Your results will be balanced and you will feel yourself able to handle the progressively more difficult movements he challenges you with.  I see a great deal of value in his knowledge and commitment, and I truly look forward to the opportunity to continue working with him.

My son has been involved in Martial Arts since he was six years old.  He is now twenty-two and has trained in Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu.  He has never learned the moves and strikes as effective as the one taught to him by Mr. Parvin.  While visiting, I observed a fun, fast paced class that my soon looked forward to attending.  With Lance’s help and expertise, I can confidently say that there is no situation that my son fears or cannot deal with.  Lance’s training is reality based and deals with real life situation.

Lance put me immediately at-ease with his approachable and pragmatic style. It’s clear he is a pro and demonstrates extraordinary proficiency in his instructor capacity. However, it’s also the curriculum he’s developed that allows even those with physical limitations and maturity to enjoy empowerment through classes such as The SAFE Program for Women. Though I may never be like him or the law enforcement and military clients he directs, I nevertheless look forward to his classes, patience, guidance and limitless encouragement.

I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Lance Parvin for the last 4 years. As our Crew Member Self Defense Instructor; Lance has exhibited a relaxing demeanor accompanied with a professionalism that is rarely seen in today’s work environment. His detailed approach to training and instruction is appreciated and to be commended.
