Client Reviews
Michael P. (Testimonial)
I came to Performance Incorporated to train for high school football as an average 15 year old. Not only did I become one of the strongest players on my team, but I greatly improved my coordination and play making abilities. The part that stood out to me most, however, was that unlike any other trainers I have been to, any question I had was answered without hesitation. There are no secrets here.
Joe L. (Testimonial)
A great gym to learn and improve your personal fitness. I started going to Performance Incorporated years ago, completely unaware on how to do any workout drills and confused on what the best form was in any drill. The personal trainer guided me to great form and helped me improve my strength throughout the years. Definitely recommend.
Brandon S. (Testimonial)
I've been a member at PI for about 9 years now and I would never go anywhere else. Joe helped me become a stronger, faster athlete and helped me find the confidence in myself that I needed to succeed. I've transformed my body over the years with the help from Joe and his knowledge in nutrition and overall physical fitness. I've never met someone more motivated and passionate about their career than Joe. He truly cares about each and every one of his clients and will go the extra mile for any of them. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and can give you an in-depth explanation on any question you have.
Nanja H. (Testimonial)
I was a high school intern here for only a little over a week and I can safely say that it's a quality institution for going above and beyond to serve the individual and their goals. Joe G. is a man with a relentless work ethic backed with decades of experience in the field. On top of working towards a specific, there's a lot you can learn by just asking questions and listening to his explanations. The name Performance Incorporated is what this place is all about since it doesn't dance around the fact that by the end of the day, it's about how you improve your performance. I got more than I expected and anyone that comes here is bound to feel similarly.
Mark D. (Testimonial)
Joe G and his team are terrific at what they do. What sets Joe apart from others is how he constantly measures his clients to ensure they are improving and progressing in strength, speed and form.
Sara R. (Testimonial)
Joe G. is an excellent trainer. Whether in-person training sessions or virtual training sessions due to COVID-19, the workout is always productive and geared towards making me stronger and healthier. I have done strength training, flexibility, mobility, and conditioning workouts with Joe and can easily see a positive difference in my overall fitness and physical and mental health. The workouts are phenomenal. All workouts are modified if needed to meet me at my workout level. Joe has a great program!
Thomas P. (Testimonial)
Great trainer with a lot of experience. Knows the body and how to tranfer the knowledge to the customer. Highly recommended.
Samantha D. (Testimonial)
Performance Incorporated is an excellent place to understand the true meaning of health and fitness. The gym is clean and private, the staff is friendly, and most importantly, Joe has an incredible amount of knowledge which he has been passing to his clients for over 30 years. After getting to know some of the clients, I have realized how much of an impact he has made on all of their lives, including my own, and that is something you will never be able to get at any old gym. I have been going to Performance Incorporated for a few years now and have seen better results than ever before. Joe has made sure to not only show me the ins and outs of weight training, but he has coached me to live a better lifestyle and I would recommend him to anyone looking to do the same.
Dan C. (Testimonial)
Ever since I was referred to by a friend, I've learned proper weight lifting technique and have transformed my body. I've been coming here consistently for three years because everyone is so friendly and I really enjoy the atmosphere of the place. Not only have I been achieving my goals, but I have learned an incredible amount about nutrition and how the body works. I really wish I had the opportunity to come here when I was in high school to help out with sports.
Michele T (Testimonial)
I have been working with Joe for over 20 years. Great workouts, pushes me to my capabilities and beyond, good attention to detail, variety of workouts, and most importantly have achieved results!
Joseph Nadler (Testimonial)
I have been training with Joe Garafolo at Performance Inc. for the past 10 years. His intelligent guidance through open heart surgery, back surgery and knee replacement surgery points out his skills as a personal trainer, and life coach. Simply, he is the best!
Holly B. (Testimonial)
Over 20+ years, Joe Garafolo has improved my fitness level enormously, helped me to increase bone density and muscle mass, and seen me through prehab/rehab for orthopedic surgeries--always with creativity and compassion. Now our goal is active aging, maintaining my mobility, balance, and strength. I am so grateful to this guy. Joe understands each client and how to motivate him/her to get maximum results.
Michelle (Testimonial)
Joe G and his team are committed to their clients success. What distinguishes Joe is his constant measurement of client strength, speed and form to ensure a successful training outcome. I also love the new trainers Joe has added. For example, I really enjoy weight training with John Mannion and boxing lessons with Champ. I was a bit unsure about them before i started but John and Champ are terrific.
Loubart Fok (Testimonial)
Joe Garafolo is a truly excellent trainer. His training methods are the perfect combination of diverse training, Saturday boot camp and individualized exercise programs designed to achievable your goals (to lose weight and to get in shape for my wedding day in my case). Joe is not only premier fitness trainer, but he is also a nutrition expert. He provides nutrition consultations in order to change and adjust your diet to enhance your weight loss in addition to exercise. I lost 20 pounds in 5 months, and my husband lost 30 pounds. Joe’s counseling have reconstructed our bodies that we lost fat and developed pure muscle and increased our bone density. We both looked like an 18-year-old for our wedding day. We both got in the best shape we have ever been in our lives. Joe you are the best trainer in the world!!! The Highest recommendation!!!
Vernita W (Testimonial)
This place is amazing! I brought my daughter here after her having a stroke, not knowing what to expect or that this place is where she needed to be. On the first day, Joe spoke HOPE into my daughter!! Which is what we needed on this long journey. Upon arrival, my daughter could not lift her foot or arm, but with Joe working with her consistently twice a week, my daughter has advanced. We thank God for Joe. This man's positivity and hard work is amazing. The energy there is always welcoming!! Across the hall from Joe is a sports training center. While my daughter was in training with Joe, I sent my grandson across the hall to train with"Champ" for basketball and boxing. This whole team at Performance Center is awesome!! I highly recommend joining here. Did I mention the Team is Awesome and the Atmosphere Amazing!!
Ashley Bostock (Testimonial)
Joe is knowledgeable, friendly and has tons of experience. He is motivated to teach you proper technique and get you to where you want to be with your goals. I started out not lifting or any type of training and now, I train 3-5 times per week lifting weights that I never would have imagined that I could. Joe trains with me online and he is professional and reliable. He cares about me and my goals as much as I do. I cannot imagine NOT having him in my life as my trainer. Unbelievable!! I cannot recommend him enough.
Bill Pepe (Testimonial)
Went to Performance Inc for over ten years, starting when I was eleven. Joe is a great trainer with a lot of experience who will teach you how to train, not just watch you pick up heavy things. This is a great place for people interested in learning how to train the right way, live a healthier lifestyle, and looking for a program that is enjoyable. Joe is experienced, knowledgeable and will always take time to explain questions. You'll learn how to train the right way with your personal goals at the forefront.
