”Starting the gym for the first time in my 50s felt daunting, but Harrison made it effortless. He is a fantastic trainer—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly enthusiastic. His expertise and energy make every session both challenging and rewarding. Not only does he push me to improve, but he also keeps me motivated, accountable, and even distracted with great conversation, making workouts fly by. Thanks to him, I’ve stayed consistent and continue making progress. Highly recommend!” - Tracy M.

“I've been training with Harrison for almost a year now, it's been about 11 months. He has helped so immensely, not only with the physical aspect of working out but the mental aspect of changing everything about my life. Talking over choices and the way I interacted with food and exercise helped me change my entire lifestyle with (almost) none of the pain I'd felt when I had tried it alone in the past. I cannot recommend him or his gym, more. It's a real community, and I've never felt safer.“ - Andrea M.

“I have been working with Harrison since September. Because of serious health issues, that was the first time I had been in a gym in many decades. I had to take a 4 week break after cancer surgery at the end of October. Since I am back 3 times a week I am stronger than I have been in 30 years. At nearly 62 years old, with Harrison's training I have made gains I never thought possible and I feel better than I have in decades. Harrison is so encouraging and great to work with. Young, older men and women, Harrison is just great to work with. I cannot recommend his training enough and for anyone.” - Christopher B.

“Harrison is my trainer, was a little iffy at first but built more strength and lost more weight than i ever imagined. Stick with the program, and his diet and see huge results.” - Nick M.

“I have been training with Harrison now for about 4 months once a week. Almost instantly I started to notice that I was putting on muscle even though I've been working out for a very long time and I'm older. The results were kind of amazing. One thing I like about Harrison is that he doesn't just bark at you like some personal trainers do. Also he's very smart and he has a depth of knowledge that I think can be hard to find. He truly loves working out and helping people and I think that combination makes him super effective. He also meets you where you're at so he doesn't just throw workouts at you. In a small city like Torrington, it's pretty amazing to have such an excellent and experience.” - Michelle G.

“My grandfather, who is now over 80 years old came to me and said he wanted to look to get into a small workout routine and continue to maintain muscle mass, while combating old age. My initial thought and reaction was to have him check out Beyond and work with Harrison on beginning a training routine, and learning the basic mechanics of lifting and becoming accustomed to the movements. At first, my grandfather was hesitant and unsure what to think and if it would be something he would enjoy long term, but since then he has very much enjoyed his time with Harrison and progression with becoming more familiar with the various movements and exercises. He has also said that he will be happy to continue the trainings through the spring and summer to help improve his stamina and staying busy while doing yard work. For someone who has not been an individual to workout and lift weights in his life until now, he is now appreciating and understanding the benefits of staying healthy and exercising, regardless of the age!“ - Ben V.
