I've Lost 24 lbs in 11 months and trimmed 6 inches off my waist! Francois has been an incredible trainer, with his guidance I've achieved goals that I once thought would be unattainable. Francois is both knowledgeable and present in your workouts and strikes a perfect balance between providing input on your form/technique without being overbearing. My strength has improved dramatically, and his use of monthly metrics keeps me motivated by tracking real progress in muscle gains and fat loss. Plus, he tailors workout plans that evolve each month so you’re never stuck doing the same thing. Try training with Francois—what’s the worst that can happen? You stop blaming the dryer for “shrinking” your clothes.

New adventures can always seem intimidating, but Francois has the ability to make you feel very comfortable as you begin the journey towards self-improvement. He is both educational and supportive explaining not only proper form and technique but also the reasoning behind each exercise.

Francois challenges me to achieve my fitness goals with a balanced approach and pushes me to succeed; all the while making it fun!

I have been training at Fast Twitch for 5 months and have already seen great results. I have lost inches while improving flexibility, balance and core strength.

If you have been thinking about making a fitness change, DO IT! You won’t be sorry.

If you are looking for a professional serious place to enhance your health and physique, this is it. I am healthier, stronger 💪 I can get in some of my old jeans, except this time they fit better becuase I have muscle. With Francois you will learn the proper form to maximize your gains. You'll love it here. I love not having to deal with fools on their phone getting in the way of a work out. ☺️ I love the place and the results.

I’ve known Francois for a number of years. He has always been very passionate when speaking about physical fitness and the training services that he offers. So when I finally decided to try and lose some weight and get back into shape, the first person I reached out to was Francois. I have only been working with him for a short time but I have say that I am already seeing positive gains and I’m feeling great. He really takes the time to make sure that you do the exercises correctly, to avoid injury. He also takes the time to explain why he’s having me do particular exercises, which I find helpful as well. So far, it has been a great experience and well worth it. I highly recommend Francois to anyone looking to get in shape and lose some of those extra unwanted pounds.

I much prefer the personal individualized attention I receive at Fast Twitch from Francois versus the crowded “waiting-on-equipment” scenario at the big box gyms. He knows his stuff, and is able to guide his customers to benefit both physically and mentally via exercise, diet, and attitude. Fast Twitch is a great on-ramp to better health. Do yourself a favor! Get started.

If you’re looking for real, individualized results, Francois is the trainer to go to. He is extremely knowledgeable and focuses on the areas you want to improve the most. Unlike larger gyms where it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of where to start, Francois provides clear direction and proper instruction on how to use weights effectively. His personalized approach makes all the difference, ensuring that your training aligns with your body and goals. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to achieve amazing results!

Over the past two years, my health has improved in ways I never thought possible, and I have Francois to thank for it! His approach to personal training is unique, effective, and incredibly motivating. What sets him apart is his method of sharing workout hours with two others. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it, but it turned out to be one of the best parts of the experience.

The small-group dynamic creates accountability, encouragement, and even a little friendly competition that pushes me to perform at my best. Francois knows exactly how to balance individualized attention with the shared energy of the group, ensuring everyone gets the most out of every session. The camaraderie and mutual support I’ve built with my workout partners have been instrumental in helping me stay consistent and motivated.

Thanks to Francois’s expertise and the positive environment he fosters, I’m stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking to transform their fitness journey. If you’re looking for a trainer who delivers real results in a supportive and uplifting setting, Francois is your guy!

I wanted to take a moment to speak about Fast Twitch Performance. Francois who is the owner and trainer is a professional who will help you set and reach realistic goals as long as you are willing to put in the work. Francois keeps the the training classes small which leads to individual attention while not looming in an overbearing way. I can say Francois takes the time to set up a program and training for people of all levels. I had concerns over an older injury that I was rehabbing. Francois set up programs that allowed me to continue making my body stronger and took me from a place where I was considering surgery to where I don’t feel it’s needed. I am stronger and more flexible and am in a position where in approximately 3 months I have dropped almost 20lbs and have lost 2 inches off my stomach. This may not be the same everyone and you have to do the work, but it’s possible. I cannot recommend Fast Twitch Performance enough.

If you are looking to increase your overall fitness, increase strength, and improve your balance - I highly recommend scheduling some time with Francois Tort at Fast Twitch Fitness Performance.
Francois is knowledgeable, careful and detail-oriented. He stays current on advances in the fitness and health field. I was reluctant to try this type of training due to my age (74) and some pre-existing conditions, but Francois’ motivating and accepting approach helped alleviate my fears, and his sense of humor and personality helped me quickly feel comfortable in a setting that was new to me. Safety and proper dynamics are priorities with Francois. His instruction is clear and detailed. He observes the client carefully and corrects even the smallest mistake in order to protect them from injury. Francois listens to his client’s concerns and involves them in planning a sensible and progressive plan to meet individual needs. He provides encouragement and positive feedback throughout the workout. The atmosphere at Fast Twitch is relaxed, fun and stimulating - with occasional enlightening conversation. I have gained so much strength in just a few months and look forward to my “gym time” with Francois at Twitch.

I was skeptical at first because I’ve never worked out with weights before. I wasn’t looking to be buff and just wanted to lose weight and tone my body. I started with Francois about 3 months ago and glad I did! I have seen results every month and am pleased with the workout. It’s nothing like I expected and even though we use weights it’s not making me look like a man. If that little voice in your head is causing you hesitate, don’t listen to it and give Francois a try!! Trust me, you’ll be glad you did. Thank you Francois you’re the best!!!

You'll regret not working with Francois. He checks all the boxes of being incredibly knowledgeable, staying current on the health/wellness space, and genuinely wanting to see his clients succeed. Any random question I've had answered about fitness, food, and psychology around wellness has been instrumental in my goals. He's the first personal trainer that I've worked with who truly knows his stuff and is clearly passionate about what he does.

For the general fitness program, I was pleasantly satisfied working with two other clients at the same time (I.e. it's typically 3 people total working out together). He organizes the circuits to avoid overlap while still giving a ton of variety in fundamental exercises. Of the two groups I've worked out with, they've all been enjoyable to be around.

He's also hilarious which makes the social aspect of his gym engaging. You definitely need to have a sense of humor. The vibe totally depends on the group you're in, but Francois does a good job of keeping the peace while having fun.

I'll be wrapping up 6 months of working with Francois in February, '24 and while I wish I could continue working with him, I'm confident enough to be able to practice everything I've learned on my own. If I need specialized help for the time I have left in Florida, I would work with him again without a second thought.

Francois met all my workout goals perfectly. Methodical strength training in a balanced approach to all parts of the body each training session. His attention to detail in terms of form and process allows you to maximize the multiple benefits from each individual exercise. This disciplined approach to building strength regardless of age, will allow you to reach higher fitness levels properly without injury. Customized workouts remain flexible during each workout and beyond to insure progress. I could feel and see results after 3 sessions and fantastic measurable results after a month. Your future motivation will come from these results. You will flat out just feel better. Highly recommend Fast Twitch Fitness!

UPDATE -- When I started working with Francios in 2020, I had just been given a surgical recommendation for a torn rotator cuff and had chronic pain in my knees and feet. I'm about to turn 60 and have NO chronic pain and have never been physically stronger than I am today. Plus, that rotator cuff surgery never happened.

For some reason, many "experts" believe that "older people" should not be lifting heavy weight or stressing their joints. I'm living proof that for most of us, that's pure nonsense. I'm not only pain-free (other than sore muscles from working hard in the gym), but my balance is the best it's ever been. For the first time in my life, I can take off my socks while standing.

I'm not only stronger, but more physically fit. I'm a better skier than I've ever been and am able to engage in strenuous manual labor for hours. But it wasn't easy.

Over my years working with Francios, my training partners have come and gone. But I've stuck with it and the results have been life-altering. While it sounds like a cliche', it's true: "It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it." If you're willing to commit to working hard for 3 hours a week, I'm certain you too will see life-changing results.

ORIGINAL POST:
2" off my waist in 6 weeks--and I wasn't tubby in the first place. Weight down; muscle mass up. Chronic knee and heel pain gone, too. Francois is NOT for you unless you're dedicated and not a quitter. I'm 56, have never worked harder, and the results have been fantastic.💪💪

I started training at Fast Twitch approximately 1 year ago. Over these past twelve months I have been extremely pleased with the results from working out with Francois. He has an immense comprehension of body mechanics and the methods required to help attain personalized results. He helped me understand the relationship between muscle mass/strength and overall health. His passion for fitness motivates me to keep pursuing mine by holding me accountable and tailoring the sessions to my individual needs. Because weight training is a chore for me, I walk in most days not looking forward to the hour but am always amazed I leave feeling a sense of accomplishment. My positive results have been a direct outcome of his ability to keep me moving forward toward my goals. He cares about his clients and has an incredible base of knowledge that is beneficial, if not essential, in a results-oriented trainer. It's always an hour well spent with Francois and I look forward to my continued relationship with Fast Twitch.

Working out at FastTwitch has exceeded beyond my expectations. I started off not having much experience in the gym and I was very weak. But in just a few months in the program, I’m lifting more than I ever thought I could. I’m stronger and more confident in every session. I owe it to trainer and owner, Francois at FastTwich, for guiding me through workouts, keeping me accountable, and educating me on fitness, strength training and an all around healthy attitude. Committed and determined, Francois believed in me when I couldn’t and has always showed me that I have the strength to do more. He’s gone above and beyond to keep me on track on achieving my fitness goals and helping me improve my lifestyle for the better. That just goes to show the level of quality and excellence you’ll receive from FastTwitch.
Francois and his training skills have been an educational and highly rewarding experience. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at FastTwitch and would recommend to anyone seeking legitimate transformational results.

I an 32 and have been training with Francois for a while now (I think close to 3 years) When I first came to him I knew nothing. I was looking for someone that could teach me form and how to set myself up for success.

I used to be incredibly overweight and lost the weight but finally wanted to start developing muscle and that's how I ended up on his doorstep. Francois helped me so immensely that I can't even put it into words. I had loose skin that has filled out and muscle shows, I've never had a workout injury and I understand so much about the movements and the pacing now.

Francois is knowledgeable and so focused on continuous improvement that he reads constantly and will help you to not only work out but offers advice on diet adjustments and activity outside of his gym.

If you are new to working out and want to learn the fundamentals and get in the best shape without fear of major injury, go to Francois. I can't recommend him enough.

10/10 Recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with an incredible personal trainer, Francois, who has truly transformed my fitness journey. Francois is an expert in what he does and his vast knowledge in this field is unparalleled.

Before beginning our training sessions, I informed him that I would be moving in just three months. Despite this short timeframe, he went above and beyond to ensure I gained the necessary skills and knowledge to continue my fitness journey on my own. Francois patiently taught me everything I know, from the fundamental techniques to the more advanced aspects of lifting. His dedication to my progress was unwavering, and he made sure I had a solid foundation before gradually increasing the intensity of our workouts.

Francois is refreshingly honest and straightforward. He doesn’t beat around the bush or sugarcoat things. He tells you exactly what you need to hear to make progress and achieve your goals. With him, there’s no BS or empty promises; it’s all about real results.

Under his guidance, I managed to lose 2 inches off my waist, a feat I couldn’t have achieved without his expertise. Francois prioritizes form and technique, ensuring that I not only reached my goals but also developed the proper habits to prevent injuries and maximize results.

He creates a positive and comfortable environment that fosters growth, which makes me look forward to each training session. His dedication to his craft is evident through his attention to detail and his consistent focus on helping clients achieve their goals.

I highly recommend Francois to anyone seeking a personal trainer who will go above and beyond to guide and inspire you. If you're looking for exceptional results, an enjoyable experience, and a supportive coach who is honest and straight forward, Francois is the one to choose.

Thank you, Francois, for being an outstanding personal trainer and helping me reach new heights in my fitness journey!

Highly recommend Francois at Fast Twitch - very knowledgeable, consistent with working to ensure we keep on track with the mindset of meeting our goals, challenges us from the ”I can’t” to a “can do” attitude, correcting us when not using proper form, checks to make sure we eat properly, and educates us during our workout time.
He is also very active in our community & youth which is important to me.
For your health & wellbeing go check him out! I’m so glad I did! Being a mature female adult, I am stronger, look & feel healthier, firming up, have more energy, sleeping better and the inches are and will continue to fall off! Did I mention it’s only been a few months since I started?!

Francois will talk to you to understand what you want to accomplish and will set up a work out/ meal routine where he will show you the right way of lifting weights and will support you to be better every day to accomplish your goals. So far he has been amazing and I cannot wait to see more results. His methods follow the structure of dietary, nutricional, and homeostatic reactive expertise highly if not almost impossible to find in this day in age.

As an arthritis plagued hefty person with two total knee replacements and several years of too much sitting for my job, I was in sad condition and needed some help to stop or reverse some of the physical problems that were starting to limit my life. After a few months of training with Francois, I feel much better, my strength and mobility have greatly improved, and I have been able to cut the dose of my blood pressure medication in half.

I particularly appreciate Francois' emphasis on proper form and body mechanics. This is important to avoid injury and make efficient progress. He pushes his clients to try hard but is also willing to back off and use his experience and knowledge to find a different way if pain, injury or weakness make a particular movement too difficult. The Fast Twitch environment has not been intimidating for me even though I had no previous experience with weight training. I am pleased with the results so far and am sure that I can make even more progress.

I've been working out with Francois for 4 months now, initially twice weekly, now 3x weekly, and plan to continue at least until reaching my fitness goals. This is my first time working with a personal trainer. I had always hesitated previously due to cost and a lack of commitment to reaching my goals, but Francois' pricing is reasonable, and after working with him, I can absolutely say it's worth the cost. The workouts he designs are challenging and effective. He is a stickler for proper form, both to avoid injury and to get maximum benefit from each exercise. I hate being told to do something "because I said so" and so I appreciate that Francois is able to explain the rationale behind why things should be done a certain way. As a physician, I really appreciate his evidence-based approach - there are no gimmicks, snake oil, or products for sale, and no short cuts offered. Rather, he educates his clients regarding the tried and true exercise and lifestyle modifications that lead to better health and fitness. In addition to the weight lifting routines that I do with him in his studio (which is clean, modern and well-equipped), he recommends I do daily low-intensity steady state cardio such as walking (60-80 minutes daily), eat whole foods at mealtimes (avoid processed/sugary junk, avoid grazing/snacking), drink half my body weight in pounds in ounces of water per day, and get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Following his recommendations, I've had steady progress and, overall, I feel like this is something I would want to continue doing for the rest of my life, unlike the more restrictive fad diets I've tried before (atkins/keto/oil-free vegan/etc). If you're ready to put in the work to improve your health and fitness, consider working with Francois at Fast Twitch Fitness Performance.

I met Francois back around 2011, when I was overweight, going thru a hard divorce, and depressed. At that time, I was doing cardio at the Racquet Club, when he approached me to guide me towards the weight training section. Literally, that interaction changed my life and put me on a path towards health and wellness. Francois not only knows the mechanics of the body, but works with people individually to really focus on what works for them. Were all different, and what worked for me, wont work for someone else, and he knows that. I have never felt as strong and motivated as I was when I worked with him. Plain and simple. I highly recommend him to anyone. Whether you are just starting out like I was, or you are a seasoned athlete. His training studio has everything you need and you get one on one private attention. Changing your life is not for the weak or faint of heart, but it can be achieved by anyone with the right guidance, hard work, and dedication. He can and does provide the right motivation, atmosphere, and has the education and competency to get anyone to their goals. I am forever grateful to Francois!

A friend of mine gave me as a gift 5 sessions with Francois Tart knowing that I have had back problems for years. In those 5 sessions Francois set me up with a program specifically designed for my unique problems and body make up. He did not just pull something out of the files but adjusted what was uniquely needed for me. I loved the fact he did not just teach me WHAT I need to do but explained to me WHY I need to do it that way and HOW it will impact my body. I came with a boat load of questions and Francois patiently answered every one of them. He gave me wisdom not only in exercising but also in eating, stretching, muscle makeup and function along with ways to think about all these things and systems to set up. Probably the biggest take away from these 5 session was restored HOPE that a guy who had just resigned himself to being this way the rest of his life now has HOPE that I will change as I have already begun to see these changes and improvements as I practice what he taught me!

His mastery of physiological principles and kinesiology is evident in the series of strengthening exercises he plots, using barbells, dumbbells, and body weight. Francois challenges yet encourages.
I am a 71 year old woman who could not perform a 20” squat without losing my balance to currently squatting 12” on my own. I strongly endorse Fast Twitch if you are looking for a personal trainer who knows how to get results.

I work out twice a week with Francois and a small group of like-minded ladies. We are all serious about good health. My personal goal was to maintain or improve my health, tone up, increase my strength, flexibility and lose some inches and weight during the process. I’m in my late sixties so I’m very particular about form and preventing injury. Francois is an expert in his field. He keeps our workouts interesting and keeps us motivated. I feel much stronger, my form is good and I’ve lost inches and weight. We also discuss diet, home health and try to keep it real. He’s professional and quirky at the same time… I recommend Francois and his studio!

Where have you been all my life? Signing up with FT has been one of the best decisions, ever! I was so tired of the inefficient workouts at the gym that I finally decided to try something completely different; something that has always intimidated me: paying a trainer to torture me with an individualized training regime with no place to hide. However, this is exactly what I needed to succeed – a place of accountability and taking responsibility for my own thoughts and actions. It truly is the key to building confidence, taking control and succeeding in life. Do something today that your future self with thank you for!

Fast Twitch is an amazing gym that has changed my body, mind, and fitness routine in a very short time.
Francois is very knowledgeable, professional, and a great teacher who explains why to do things a certain way (the proper way) and is always aware of proper body mechanics while working out. I came to Francois after a back injury and was very pleased that he was so mindful & knowledgeable so that I could avoid further injury.
The gym is very clean, well managed and convenient. You can train alone or with a friend and the price is well worth it!
I am very happy I found Fast Twitch and happy with the gains I’ve made in such a short period of time!!

My husband and I recently started working with Francois. I wanted weight loss and my husband wanted more flexibility. He customized a plan for us to include behavior both in and out of the gym. After only four months we are well on our way to achieving goals. I have lost both weight AND inches per his vigorous measurement data collection. He's motivational, supportive, knowledgeable and truly wants you to keep getting better and better. Francois explains why we are doing what we are doing and makes sure we understand the proper way to do these exercises as to prevent injury. We highly recommend Francois if you're looking for a really good trainer.

Had the opportunity to train with Francois for a couple of weeks recently when I was in Florida. It was a great experience. He came up with a training program tailored to be challenging but achievable. In addition to the training he had some good nutrition tips. The hour long sessions were broken into different sections which made everything manageable and the hour went by quickly. Highly recommend Fast Twitch and Francois.

This was my first time working with a personal trainer so wasn’t sure what to expect but Francois exceeded whatever expectations I had. I lost a little over 10 pounds in the month that I work with him. He was extremely specific and detailed when it came to knowing what I should be eating outside of our sessions and how to make progress outside of the gym. He’s very knowledgeable and that’s one thing I really enjoy, he tells you what exercises to do and why it’s important and what you’re working out plus it’s benefits. Overall great experience, taking some personal time but will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

When I came to Fast Twitch Fitness I was 51 years old with a shoulder injury that was hindering everyday life.

I'm Francois' little brother and I've had lower back issues for a long long time, and recently I was squatting at Francois' gym and he looked at my form and said "why are you coming out of the bottom so quickly?" I told him I liked using the stretch reflex to get me out of the bottom of the squat, and he suggested I slow down at the bottom, and maybe that will help with my lower back issues. I did what he suggested and immediately my squat depth improved, and 24 hours later my lower back didn't hurt! I've been doing what he told me ever since on my squats. I'm his brother so obviously I don't ask him questions about training but when he gave me his advice it was exactly what I needed. If you want a very knowledgeable and competent trainer, then look no further!

I am 65 years old and have been training with Francois for 3 months. In 2018 I had two surgeries (one in March and the other in October) to repair rotator cuff tears in each of my shoulders. After each surgery I went through months of physical therapy. I was not happy with my recovery process so I decided to give Francois a try. Within the first month, the strength and range of motion in both shoulders was markedly improved. So far, I have lost 7 pounds, my body fat percentage has dropped 3 points, and my waist size has decreased by 3 inches. My overall physique looks much better, I feel stronger and my flexibility has greatly improved.

Another benefit is that I have been able to successfully stop taking one of my blood pressure medications.

Francois makes the workout sessions fun and enjoyable. He definitely know his stuff and takes the time to explain the proper technique for each exercise.

I highly recommend Francois!!

I want to begin by saying that this is the first time I have ever used a personal trainer and that it has been an amazing experience. I have been overweight most of my adult life. I have tried several times over the past few years to lose weight and get healthier. Recently, I was experiencing a lot of shoulder and hip pain and was having physical difficulties especially with stairs. I met with Francois a couple of times and developed a plan that would work for me. I began a very serious change on 10/10/19. I followed his advise and gave up all potato’s, rice, pasta, bread and sweets. At first this was so difficult since I have always been a sandwich person. Yesterday marks 7 weeks.. I have lost 18 pounds and 2 inches off my waist and hips. I work full time and I am only attending training once per week but there is such a level of accountability knowing he will be asking me about my diet and homework.
My personal goals are to get healthier, continue to feel better and to loose 100 pounds. With my current level of commitment and his guidance I am confidant I will reach my goals. 👍

Millions of vermillion and black hued Monarch Butterflies fluttered around my head, hung in shimmering drapes from the trees, did their mating dance, and sipped water from the crystal clear streams of the pristine forest of Anganguero, in the Central Highlands of Mexico, elevation12,000 feet above sea level.

Francois is truly an excellent trainer. I was fortunate to connect with him after my first knee replacement in 2005. He not only helped me regain the strength in that knee but also improved my overall strength and stamina. At the young age of 69 I found myself in need of a refresher course and again was lucky to find him as the trainer at the fitness center in Southshore Falls. After several weeks , Francios had me back on track - working on weight training and stretching to improve my overall strength as well as my posture and stamina. Because of his effort, I am stronger and more flexible, I have better balance. I recommend him without reservation.

As a busy 40-something mother, I found it increasingly difficult to lose weight and improve muscle tone regardless of the exercise programs I tried. I had never worked with a trainer before but when a friend posted about her success while working with Francois, my husband and I decided to give it a try. I began training with Francois in May 2018. Since that time, I have lost nearly 13 pounds and more inches than I thought possible while becoming stronger with each training session. Our results have been so positive, that we encouraged our 15-year-old son, who has a history poor muscle tone, tight tendons and resultant poor flexibility, to give training a try. Not only has he improved physically with increased flexibility, balance and strength, but he is more confident and now has a better appreciation regarding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Bonus…our son is also now CPR certified thanks to Francois.

With a degree in Physical Education and years of training experience, Francois creates a workout program designed to meet your individual needs and goals. He is up to date with the latest research studies related to exercise science and incorporates those findings in his exercise programs. Whether you’re 15 or 85, novice or just looking to improve or change up your exercise routine, Francois Tort is the trainer for you.

I've had 10 workout sessions with Francois and I've been very pleased with my results. On my 10th session he re-took my measurements to compare them to when I first began my training. I was thrilled to have lost over 2 inches in my main target area. Not only am I losing inches and getting stronger, I have more energy and I'm sleeping like a champ.
Francois is very professional and he pushes me to do more than what I think I'm capable of doing, but he also knows when I'm at my limit.
If you're in the South Shore area and considering a personal trainer, I highly recommend Francois of Fast Twitch Fitness Performance.
I am so happy that I finally took that first step to living a healthier lifestyle.

This is an update to my original review from March 2018.
I began strength training with Francois mid January 2018. I had always been skeptical about doing any type of weight lifting because I didn't want to build muscle, lose interest, then end up with nothing.

Over the course of the year, not only have I gotten stronger, I have managed to lose weight and inches. BONUS! If my memory is right, I think I told Francois that I wanted to tone several areas. And like most, I wanted to get rid of my mid-section.
Fast forward to December 2018, I am down 6 inches in my waist, 3 inches off my hips, and 4 inches from the saddlebags. And I have lost 12 pounds total!! I can see muscles in places I never imagined.
Not only that, I am just a few pounds from being able to back squat my own body weight. I am amazed at how much stronger I am.

I also took Francois' advice early on in my training and started eating clean. He told me what worked for him. So I started the "plants and animals" diet. Not having any health issues, I did not consult with my doctor before doing so.
I highly recommend Francois at Fast Twitch Fitness if you're looking for a professional and knowledgeable Personal Trainer.
NOTE: Francois has a college degree in Physical Education. Most personal trainers you find at the gym have received a certificate from an online course. If you want the best, be sure to do your homework.
I know from personal experience that if you follow his advise, you will reach your fitness goals.

You will not be disappointed!
I was always active- but then when kids came along I let myself go.
I had lost my tone and strength.And my diet wasn't the greatest.
I knew I needed to do something and act before it affected my health.

When I sought out a personal trainer I figured that it would just be just a little while, since it was just a matter of regaining my previous shape and getting some gudelines for me to do it myself.
So I hooked up with Francois -based on others' recommendations.
I was so impressed with Francois's attentiveness to my personal needs, and his ability to help me get toned &stronger; it was done in a safe and FUN way!
I highly recommend him if you're sincerely looking to change your physical health/well being for the better.He has the knowledge and is very attentive to individualizing a program so that you can get REAL results!

I first started training with Francois in 2012. He whipped me into the best shape of my life at 34 years old after having two kids. Not only does he focus on strengthening but pays close attention to technique as well while training to avoid injury. I trained with Francois until he relocated to Apollo Beach. After having a third child three years later, I stopped working out. In June (2018) I couldn’t deal with feeling weak and out of shape at now 40. I didn’t feel any other trainer measured up and called up Francois. I decided to commute twice a week from Tampa to Apollo Beach just to have him train me again! And in just two months I have gotten definition and tone back in my arms, legs, and abs. I feel strong and extremely happy with my results already. I have received numerous compliments from complete strangers! I look forward to my sessions and feel cranky when I have to miss one. I would highly recommend Francois to any and everyone looking to get healthy, strong, and feel great about themselves!

I’ve been working out with a group of athletes at Apollo Racquet and Fitness for about six months now. We are in the workout room at the same time as Francois who is usually working with his clients. He never hesitates to help us with some of the workouts we have designed even though we are not his clients. He shares because he has the knowledge and the desire to prevent people from getting hurt while exercising. Today I asked him to show me a few exercises and stretches that could help strengthen my knee, which is bone on bone. He took the time to explain over a half dozen exercises. He demonstrated and then watched me try them and gave corrections where needed. He knows the anatomy and physiology of the muscles he is addressing. If you need a personal trainer give Francois a call. You will be with a real professional. Thank you Francois!!!

In October 2017, I hurt my back doing a jump kick in my martial arts class. I went to the doctor and they gave me pain pills and sent me to physical therapy. The pain continued. A month ago I requested an MRI and I was diagnosed with three bulging disc and a slipped disc in my lower back. I have always looked at surgery as a last resort in all cases. Physical therapy did not work. Acupuncture temporarily relieved the pain. My searches kept coming back to strengthening the core muscles and back muscles. I consulted with Francois and he was sure he could help. I tried it to see if it could help. The results have been amazing. The pain has subsided and the training has shown great strength improvements. I wasn’t looking for weight loss but have lost a pound a week. A great side benefit. Thanks to Francois, I am pain free with no cutting on my back. Highly recommend him if you have any back problems. It is working for me.

Disease had nearly destroyed my body. I once was very fit at 5'7, 128 lb before my immune system decided to attack my nerves thus starving my muscles devasting my entire body. I had lost so much weight/muscle that I could barely walk. I could not run, skip nor climb stairs due to the wasting of my thighs. I was down to 90 lbs and looked horrible. My thighs and bum sagged giving me the appearance of an 80 year old, I am 54. I have tried for years to tone my body, after beating my disease in 2012 and nothing seemed to work until I met Francois.

His extensive education allows him to see the entire picture, determin your specific needs and develop a plan just for you. He is focused and determined to help you meet your goals. He continually changes your routine to stimulate muscle growth. I love the fact that he constantly monitors your improvements and shows you on paper your achievements. Helps you create new goals and never gives up on you.

I am now up to 103lbs and can take the stairs two at the time, a miracle! Francois is not just a trainer, he is the RIGHT trainer. Are you willing to do what it takes to change your life?

It has been a month now since I joined Fast Twitch Fitness Performance and I can already see the results. Since joining I noticed my overall work performance has improved significantly and I no longer find myself getting tired so easily. Francois is truly an amazing personal trainer helping me lose 10 lbs fast and has made working out a lot more enjoyable. He is constantly motivating you and giving you that extra boost of determination you need to finish your workout successfully. I’m excited to continue my workout sessions with Francois and keep my progress moving forward. Keep up the great work Francois!!

A serious illness shook my life last year, forcing me between the hospital and bed rest for seven months. My body was weakened, but Francois has been instrumental in regaining my strength and stamina. His take-charge attitude motivates me to be the best version of myself while his extreme patience makes me feel welcomed and assured. In eight weeks of working with Francois, I have lost seven inches across my body and I feel stronger and more confident than I did before my illness.

This was my first time using a personal trainer, and I have to say it made all the difference. I told Francois what I wanted and he made it happen. I have lost 20lbs. and gained significant strength. The best part is all I have to do is show up and do what I'm told. That makes it much easier.

Francois is extremely knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition and I believe it to be his passion. He also continues to improve that knowledge to pass on to his clients. He helped me with common misconceptions in those areas which allowed me to achieve a 35 lb loss in a month! The best part is he believes in an all natural approach, meaning no magic pills, drugs or supplements. Highly recommend using him regardless of your physical condition...he can tailor a program based on your needs.

My wife and I researched and met with many of the personal trainers in Apollo Beach, Ruskin, and Sun City Center. We decided to go with Francois because he has more experience, education, and credentials than all the others, but also because he is more hands-on. We were completely new to working out and he made us feel very comfortable. He's taught us about more than just fitness in the gym, he taught us how to eat better, when to eat, how important sleep is, and many other factors that contribute to your overall fitness. We've been working with him for 6-7 months now and have seen great results, in both myself and my wife. He listens to your goals, then creates and executes a plan to get you there. If you're considering a personal trainer, you don't need to do any further research. He is by far the best trainer in the SouthShore area. Thanks for everything Francois!

I had one month to try to shed some of the fat from my transient-yet-sedentary lifestyle. I shed a healthy amount of weight and lost inches nearly everywhere. Francois has high expectations and pushes you far enough, but never too far - he listens when you're having issues, substitutes exercises when necessary, and gives you homework to make sure you address the issues in your body and in your lifestyle, too. I'll be back to see him when I find myself in the area again.

I had the pleasure of training with Francois, as well as, participating in his annual weight loss challenge. He encouraged us with friendly competition and gave support throughout the whole challenge. He is not only knowledgeable and willing to teach about a healthy diet and exercise, but also motivated us to strive to do our best. The challenges were exciting and provided great results. My results are the following:
2016:drop of 3 ¾” @ waist and 10 lbs
2017: drop of 4 ¼” @ waist and 15 lbs
I would not have been able to achieve these results if not for Francois’ guidance and motivation during the competition.

I reached a point in my life (over 40) where I felt the need to make a lifestyle change and seek a personal trainer with all the proper qualifications, education and skill-set that would not only understand my past surgeries and dietary restrictions, but would work at the proper pace, use the proper techniques and hold me accountable for my “out-of-the-gym” time. Well, Francois Tort fit that bill and then some.

I started working with him in February 2017 and have already lost a load of lbs. and inches. More importantly, I feel amazing! He not only creates challenging workouts that I would never complete on my own, but he’s there to push me when I feel I can’t go any further, along with chatting about life makes the workouts go that much quicker. An hour goes by so fast when you’re so busy talking, you don’t even realize you’ve completed one of the most challenging workouts you’ve ever done.

Francois is the best trainer I have ever had, hands down!

"Best trainer I ever had" that is what my husband says. I have been active and working out to some degree my whole life. I have worked with several trainers over the years and without a doubt Francois has been the best! I have been working out with him twice a week for about 4 months and I have lost 3 inches in my waist, increased my strength and overall definition. He customizes your workout to your goals. He explains the proper form and the why behind every move he has you do. He is very encouraging, knowledgeable, and truly sincere in wanting you to be the best you can be. If you are looking for help to meet your fitness goals, Francois is your guy!

My husband and I live at Del Webb Southshore Falls in Apollo Beach, and Francois is available to us through the Fitness Center in our community. My husband contacted Francois by phone and explained that he was looking for exercises to strengthen him that he could do at home. Francois was very accommodating and came to our home within two days of the phone call and created five exercises that he can do at home. When my husband feels that he needs more exercises, he will contact Francois again. We're hoping he will be able to walk again and not have to use a walker.

My wife (who has multiple sclerosis) and I started working with Francois about 3-4 months ago, she because of her MS and myself because of back problems as well as the loss of flexibility (for both of us) that comes with age. I am now able to hit balls or play golf 3-4 times per week without the crippling backaches I was frequently experiencing, and my wife has significantly improved her ability to get down on the floor with our granddaughter and then get up again as well as getting up out of chairs and just doing the routine activities of daily life. And both of us have increased our flexibility. We are pleased with our progress with Francois/Fast Twitch.

You are on this site looking for a trainer. So… do choose to work with Francois Tort of Fast Twitch Performance! You will have a great experience.
Francois will spend time with you prior to starting to understand your current health and individual goals. His method is sound and his expertise will guide you to results you want.
He is equally challenging and encouraging throughout the training sessions. Pushing you when you need it and praising when you earn it.

Several friends have commented on the change in my appearance as a result of his guidance which I had not achieved on my own.
After the first session that really pushed me I now like going to train and feel confident about my improved strength and abilities.

I have been training with Francois since the beginning of November and really enjoy the relsults of my efforts. Without doing an extreme diet just eating healthy along with two sessions a week, I have been able to lose 18 pounds and more than 10 inches. Francois works had to challenge me in my weight training and help keep me motivated to continue working out and improving. I have had fun working out and his dedication as a personal trainer is exemplary. If you have specific needs Francois works hard to configure a workout to address your personal issues. I have poor posture and he has molded a program to address and improve my stance along with overall training . I would highly recommend training with Francois, you won't be disappointed.

I am in my second month of working with Francois. My goals are to gain weight and to improve my balance. I am happy to report that both have happened. I am also getting so much stronger. It was quite eye-opening to realize just how weak I was. But awesome to be improving. I follow Francois's eating plan. I drink lots of water and walk a lot. He's great! I am very pleased!

I am now 9 months into training with Francois. One of my goals was to gain muscle and I am happy to report that I have added 13 lbs of it. Added 3 inches to my thighs. Also have added to my arms, chest and back. I look so much healthier than I did a year ago. My strength and balance have improved remarkably. I just painted 2 rooms and I had no problem going up and down the ladder. I am 68 years old and a Type 2 diabetic. The extra muscle has helped to keep the glucose under better control. I am thrilled with all my results. I highly recommend choosing Francois for your training!

Francois Tort of Fast Twitch Performance over the course of two years help me shed 70lbs of pure fat by developing a training regimen and meal plan that worked for me. With the balanced diet and excercise regimen he provided, I've cut over 11 inches off of my midsection and drop from a size 38 pants to a size 34. In the process I’ve gone from a 2 xlt shirt (because my belly protruded so far out) to wearing a normal xl shirt, what a 5ft 10in man should wear. With his knowledge and encouragement style you will also be able to exhibit the same results.

People ask me what the difference between Francois and Hitler is. Most people think it is the fact that Francois doesn't have a mustache. It is actually that Francois is a bigger a**hole.

I started working with Francois last Spring. He never once made me feel out of place or less than for my lack of knowledge and skill. He showed me exactly what to do and how to notice when I was doing something incorrectly. Before training, shooting a 10 hour wedding would do a number on my back. Through strength training, I have little to no issues. I am now a firm believer in lifting over just cardio. Gaining tone has been my absolute favorite part. I am comfortable in my size 4 and now working towards size 2. Francois is the best trainer around! I would highly recommend working with him. Thank you Francois!!

I had a short term lease at Southshore Falls and started working with Francois even though I knew it would be short term when I started. It turned out to be a little less than 3 months of actually training before I moved north about 30 miles.

I should say, at 61, I am no stranger to the gym or work with trainers. I've worked with several trainers over the past 20 +/- years and believe that there is definite value to working with a trainer. It can be as simple as having a gym appointment which gets me to the gym instead of doing one of the other 10 or so important things that are vying for my time on any given day. Other value added items are learning proper form to avoid injuries, being pushed to lift more or less whenever each is appropriate, nutrition monitoring and accountability.

I think some of the workouts that I did with Francois could be some of the toughest I have ever done in terms of physical exhaustion near the end of the workout. Yet, with the possible exception of those darn walking lunges, I mostly didn't feel like the exercise was too much. There were even a few times when I almost asked for more weight; however, I've learned to be very careful about what I say around a trainer and to NEVER P.O. the trainer.

So, by the end of the first month, I'm sure I felt better and felt like I was making progress. I guess it was near the end of the second month that I really started noticing results. I noticed several exercises that I had done off and on over many years with more than one trainer that I was suddenly lifting more weight than I had ever done.

Francois kept telling me to breathe, don't breathe, stick my head through the window, yes really, that's what he said, hold my stomach solid, sure buddy, and so on. Apparently, while he was making all these important comments, he was adding weight to what I was lifting.

So, as moving day approached, after a couple short months of working with Francois, I found myself lifting more weight than I ever had and thought I might have made some small gains in muscle mass. I guess weakness really is an option.

Thank you Francois!

BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!

I have been training with Francois for 4 months now and could not be happier. As far as fitness training goes I am no stranger to it. I have been training for years and competing in Obstacle course races in the elite and competitive classes for the past few years. Needless to say I'm in pretty good shape or so I thought until I started training with Francois. The first thing he does is sit down with you and asks you about your goals and what you want to achieve. He then puts a program together for you specifically based on your goals and your fitness level changing it up monthly and sometimes weekly to keep you progressing. Then you show up and put your work in and follow his instructions. As you workout, Francois continues to teach you about proper form, technique, movement and the correct way to train to prevent injuries. He also monitors your movement throughout every workout to make sure you are performing it safely and efficiently so you get the most from every rep. Francois also thoroughly explains the different muscle groups and what each exercise is designed to target. Francois can also help you with your nutritional goals. Since starting with Francois my numbers are 6'4" 218 lbs 16% body fat. Currently, I am 208 lbs. and 12% body fat. My strength has increased incredibly. I also increased muscle size in my arms, back, shoulders, chest, and legs. This is amazing to me after loosing 10 lbs. I can't say enough about the condition Francois has put me in. I am absolutely in the best shape of my life at 38. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get in the best shape of their life. He can train any fitness level and you will see results if you just follow his instructions and work hard.

I have to say that I am very pleased with my results so far. I am 55 years old and have always been active, but my body looks better now than at any other time in my life.
Before I used a personal trainer, I never really took weightlifting seriously. Now I work out three times a week with Francois, and my results are truly exciting. I’ve never been known as a muscular guy, but people are certainly taking notice.
I just returned from a cruise, and my wife was noticing how many women were looking at me. (I thank heaven for an understanding wife.) I am working out primarily to stay fit, but my increased flexibility, endurance, and strength (not to mention the looks I get) are added bonuses.
Now my favorite shirt is a tank top!
I never knew working out would be so easy. You just show up on time and then follow instructions for an hour. Francois explains all the muscle groups involved with each exercise, so you know exactly what part of your body is being developed with each movement.
After three months, I have lost two inches in my waist (wow!), and I have gained up to two inches in my shoulders, biceps, thighs, and calves. This was possible without sticking to a strict diet; just eating sensibly. My weight hasn’t fluctuated much because I wasn’t overly heavy to begin with, but my 195-pound frame has undergone a huge transformation.
You state your goals during your first visit, and Francois designs a specific weight training program for you to achieve them. Body measurements are taken monthly, and your progress is charted. Unlike trainers who don’t measure periodically, Francois prides himself on the progress of his clients toward the goals they have set for themselves. I believe there’s also a psychological aspect with monthly weigh-ins: you’ll tend to eat better foods if you know that you’re going to be measured from one month to the next. If you’re working out with your trainer three times a week but you’re still eating poorly, it will catch up to you on measurement day. That can not only be embarrassing, but more importantly, you’ve stunted your progress.
I look forward to training with Francois because every week, I become more energetic and more powerful, and I love the way that feels.

My name is Taylor and I am a 17 year old competitive swimmer; Francois and I have only trained for about 7 sessions and I have already increased my lean mass by 4% and my shoulders and hips have grown an inch, which is what we wanted. By my third session I already could tell a difference in how tone my muscles were and I could see a pretty great improvement in my overall performance in and out of the pool. Francois is a very good trainer and will always make sure that you know what you are doing and the reason why. From very organized workouts, to a diet plan that will help gain muscle or lose weight,to explanations on what your performing and how its helping you. Francois will make sure that not only do you get in shape, but you can use what you have learned to continue to stay in shape even when you are done training which in the end is everyone's ultimate goal. Give him a try he wont let you down.

When we started training I weighed 171 pounds and in 10 days I have already gained 7 pounds, almost a whole inch on my arms, and more than an inch on my thighs. Not only has Francois shown me how to lift with correct techniques and form, he has also helped me in changing my diet to stay lean while gaining muscle. The results speak for themselves.

At 70 years old, the last thing I thought I would do was to work with a personal trainer. I knew Francois personally from church, and when my wife shared about the constant pain in my back he said he could help. The results were next to miraculous. After 2 session the pain I had experienced off and on since I was 26, was gone. I have lost weight and increased my strength. I feel the whole experience has added quality years to my life. My wife is also working with Francois and has lost weight and gained strength. He helps with every aspect of fitness, diet, strength, stamina, and over-all wellbeing. I recommend him highly.

I just finished a 3 month program with Francois. My goal was to fast track a weight loss program and also wanted to tone up. The results were better than I expected. I lost 4 1/2" on my waist and dropped 16 pounds overall while adding muscle. My "core" is stronger that it has been in many years and I generally am feeling good about myself.

It’s not easy for personal trainers to train me because I’m a doctor and I know anatomy, range of motion, different muscle groups and how they should (or should not) be worked.

Francois Tort of Fast Twitch Fitness Performance is one of the most knowledgeable trainers I have found in Apollo Beach and the Tampa Bay area.

I want to be 94 and ride my bike 16 mph for 50 miles. That’s what I told the doctors. OK, so back surgery is necessary. Had the surgery and wow, no pain. Three weeks later, pain hit me like a house fell on me, I couldn’t move without excruciating waves of pain tearing through my body. Seven months of moving around from one doctor to another and physical therapy did absolutely nothing to relieve the hurting. It was time to take matters into my own hands. I contacted Francois Tort, explained that I worked out regularly in the past, gave him all the medical information and told him I wanted to train again with someone who would push me. He listened and he created a plan. Six weeks after starting training with Francois, I am now riding my bike 25 miles 4 to 5 times a week and working with him two days a week. In that period of time, I can sleep without waking because of pain, my muscle tone is coming back, and as a bonus, I have lost weight without changing my diet. The pain has gone from a 10 to a 3. Francois doesn’t give up on me, he believes in me and has convinced me to believe in myself. He makes me want to work harder so as not to disappoint him. I highly recommend Francois and FastTwitch if you are in need of a trainer. He is one amazing man, is smart, disciplined, and delivers results.

I lost 40 pounds in 6 months. Francois focuses on making sure that the weight loss targets fat, not muscle. Without Francois, I would never have been able to lose the weight.

He keeps meticulous records and always encourages you to beat your personal best.

I wanted that "lean and tone" look and with the hard but fun training Francois put me through, I saw results fast. He taught me how to make eating right and working out a manageable priority and I haven't stopped since. I lost weight and inches but also gained muscle. I feel good about myself inside and out.

My husband and I went to Francois Tort starting in January 2014 and we have truly enjoyed our time learning from him and also getting more in shape. Francois is very knowledgeable and taught us so many things while we worked out with him over the last three months. He taught us how to properly do the exercises and then also gave us good information on how to eat healthier and to achieve the goals we had set. We both lost pounds and inches during our three months and we both feel so much better.

Anyone who is out there and is thinking of getting a personal trainer, I would highly recommend Francois. He was an excellent trainer and he really motivates you as well which is very important. I would have never got as far as I did without hiring him to be my personal trainer. Over the years I have tried to do my own workouts and never with much success as I would always get frustrated when I would see no results. Francois gave us exercises that really helped us get the results we needed and wanted. It was truly worth the money and I'm so thankful I made the decision to get in contact with him. We are still using Francois to plan out our exercise routines for the month and I know he will always be around if we have any questions.

Again, if you are looking for a personal trainer, Francois will not disappoint you. He is there to help motivate you and get you the results you want.

I have been training with Francois for about a year and it was very difficult at first because I have an illness called Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. This disease is an auto-immune disease which targets my blood, skin, and other parts of the body. Francois took his time to deal with me and my issues and might I add, in the long run it DEFINITELY paid off. My skin was not as tight as it used to be, my endurance became longer, and my "feeling dizzy" spells wasn't as frequent. He is an awesome person overall and an excellent trainer who motivated me even when I thought I could not do it. He made me realize that although I may be physically ill, (according to doctors), exercise and strength conditioning is a must and my doctor agreed! I will recommend him to anyone who will listen and who wants a healthy and strong lifestyle. Trust me he is worth!

I was not able to train every day with Fast Twitch because I live too far away. They were able to work with my schedule and find a time that I could train once a week. I wasn't sure if that frequency would make a difference but I could not have been more wrong. They showed me the proper way to do exercises that I thought I had been doing correctly for years. In just a few weeks, of only one day a week, I gained several inches on my shoulders, chest, arms and lost a few off the waist. The no nonsense approach to training is refreshing. Get in, do the work, get out. Wish I could train more often!

I have been working with Francois for 2 months going on my 3rd month and I can see results in my body that I never knew I had. He is very knowledgable in every piece of equipment and workout I do. He always makes sure that I do them correctly to get the best results as well. Thanks Francois I am feeling great! Go see him to get results that count.

Francois is an excellent trainer. I came to him at my highest weight, and I was scared. I was disappointed for letting myself go and scared to death of making a fool of myself trying to get fit. Francois made it a fun experience. He didn't make me feel bad, and let me know that I am not the only one. In fact I was several steps ahead because I was actually doing something about it. Francois explained each exercise, how it affected my body and he never left my side. During each session he really tried to get to know me. He was interested in what might keep me from reaching my goals and worked with me to make sure that didn't happen. He never gave up on me, even when I was holding on to my weight because of the medications I was on. When I came off the medications the weight started flying off and he has equally excited as I was. The only reason I stopped working with Francois is because I moved out of town. A good person and an excellent trainer.

Sorry for such a long review!

Francois is a knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated trainer.
I trained with Francois for about 8 months and was extremely pleased with my results. I dropped a pant size (didn't need to drop more) and finally had the toned body I was looking for without being bulky and unfeminine.

Francois is great at putting together workouts that focused on my goals as well as what he saw that I needed. He is the professional after all. He pushed me further than I thought I could go and was a constant motivator. I not only met but surpassed my fitness goals.

Francois is not only a great trainer but just plain fun! I would recommend him to anyone looking to get in shape and strengthen their body.

I started working out with Francois about three months ago, and the results have been truly outstanding. I have lost 2+ inches from my waste and about 20 pounds total. Francois is very thorough from the very beginning in identifying your goals and objectives, as well as any physical limitations you may have. In my case there were a number of limitations, but that did not stop Francois from designing a program that has more than fit my needs. If you are interested in taking back control of your health and fitness, I would highly recommend that you give him a call.

I have been training with Francois Tort of Fast Twitch Fitness Performance for only 1 month, yet so far I have noticed some very promising results. I've lost 8 pounds but what was even more remarkable is that I've lost inches everywhere and almost 5 inches from around my waist. The workouts are tough but Francois is right there with you every step of the way, making sure your form is correct and giving you tips to remember how to do the exercises correctly. With the results I've seen I am definitely motivated to continue these training sessions until I am back to the fitness level that I am striving for - and I am confident that I can get there.

I don’t know how he does it, I started training with Francois in February this year with one goal, to turn 50 and lose 2 inches on my waist, 10 pounds, grow my chest, shoulders, biceps and legs. Mission accomplished!!!

Francois has this very different approach to challenge you and get the best of you, if nothing has worked in the past for you, just give him a try and you will be amazed, BTW if you have back problems he will fix it with exercise and special stretching routines, no extra charge!!

If you are like me; I have always exercised, but never seen much results. After having two sessions with Francois; I knew that my lack of results were due to not being educated on the mechanics and and breathing techniques that were necessary for maximum results with minimal time in the gym. I have talked about my personal training experience with my family and everyone in my circle of business!

Three months ago I started working out with Francois and I told him from the start that I have not trained in 25 years and needed him to teach me technique, get me past the pain barriers, help motivate me and keep me from getting hurt.

I am happy to say he came through on all counts and after three month with him I'm stronger, leaner and eager to stay on schedule and stay in the gym.

Francois's dedication to his clients is immeasurable and his knowledge in the gym invaluable. I’m so glad I hired him as my personal trainer and will never forget his service and dedication to me.

I haven't really exercised consistently since I was in school. I decided it was time to make a change, so I began working with Francois. I have worked with Francois for only a few weeks. However, my results are great! I have lost 10 pounds and 3 inches in my waist. He keeps you accountable and working, but listens when needed. I have more energy now and have been sleeping better than I have in years. I would highly recommend using Francois. It will change your outlook on life. Thanks Francois!

Working with Francois of Fast Twitch was one of the best decisions I ever made! I had recently given birth to my son and turned 40. Two big milestones, so it was time to get back in shape. Francois designed a plan of diet and exercise that would fit my lifestyle. With his help, I dropped nearly 30 pounds and 4 dress sizes. I had never been a size 2 before in my life! Plus, he made it fun. After working with Francois in a fitness center weekly for 7 months, I decided to use him on a consultant basis. He helped me set up my home gym, even ordered my power cage for me. Three years later, I am still maintaining thanks to the tools Francois taught me. He is the best!

I have been working with Francois for a couple of months and I do say I am feeling better and stronger. I have lost 4 inches around my waist and my blood pressure has gone down significantly. He is great to work with, and explains everything in detail as to the mechanics of lifting correctly to enhance your workout. I highly recommend him for your personal training needs.

I have been working out with Francois for several months now. I have never written a testimonial before, but I have to share this with you.
I needed to wear a black dress yesterday and the only one I had was too tight in all the wrong places the last time I tried it on. So I thought, let me try it on. Maybe it will fit since I've been working out.
OMG!! The thing was too BIG. Can't wear it! Halleluiah!! Thank you Francois!!

I know a lot of people will think this is impossible, but here goes. I've been training with Fast Twitch now for several months. I keep going because I keep seeing better and better results and he makes working out fun and satisfying. I have lost a total of 7" off my waist. It's true. I look like a completely different person! I've lost about 26 lbs mostly off of the mid-life belly I had. I would recommend Fast Twitch personal trainers 150%!! He even explains the mechanics of each move and exercise. Come to find out he has more certifications than anyone else in Apollo Beach. If you think you can't do it, try it. You'll be glad you did!
