Fitness Matrix

Albert teaches two classes at my workplace, boxing and a circuit class. I can honestly say that I am so much STRONGER than I was a few months ago. I am able to do things I couldn't do before, lift heavier objects, etc., from attending his class (his is the only strength training I am doing now). Albert takes the time to get to know his students, constantly adapting to everyone's specific needs and challenges, while keeping the class fun and interesting. He is always personable and kind, while being a great motivator!

Having been diagnosed with mild cognitive issues my neurologist encouraged me to do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. Since boxing with Albert at Fitness Matrix along with personal training my most recent neurological testing improved greatly! The repetition with my boxing of eye hand coordination, constant movement using the entire body has helped my overall mental and physical well being., Albert's skills and personality make you want to keep coming back!!! I would highly recommend giving this a try especially but not only for people in their later years. IT helps me stay young, vibrant and strong!

Al teaches classes at my place of work and, after three years of struggling to get back into a fitness routine, I have attend his classes religiously since April largely due to his high expectations for me and his approachable, warm demeanor. Al's approach to fitness is fun, informed, and effective.nnIn a relatively short period of time, I have manages to lose ten pounds; the other day, I wore a pair of jeans that I had sitting in my closet for several years hoping, hoping, hoping that I would be able to wear again some day. Even more important has been the change I have experienced in my stamina and vitality. My two year old son often wants me to carry him when we are out in the neighborhood and, in the past, I have found myself in pain and short of breath after brief periods of time. Last week, I carried him three long city blocks without having to stop and without feeling like I was on the verge of collapse. My ability to play with my kiddo and enjoy my time with him has significantly increased as a result of Albert's training.nnWhat I love about the classes (and also hate about the classes) is that they are hard. I mean...HARD. I am a sweaty mess by the time classes are over. He keeps the classes interesting and challenging by constantly changing up the exercises and movements and playing great music! But, honestly, probably any trainer can do that. what Al does especially well is create an atmosphere that is encouraging, team-oriented, and non-judgmental. He has been able to quickly intuit my abilities and modify movements to support my needs. He is able to simultaneously understand and accommodate my current level of fitness while also comfortably pushing me to do more and get stronger.nnLastly, he's just a nice guy to be around. He's knowledgeable about his field but also just generally a highly intelligent person. He does a nice job of balancing work with enjoyable conversation and he really seems to care about us in the class which he demonstrates through simple gestures like remembering our names and pronouncing them correctly to remembering our injuries and modifying them without having to be asked. In his class you get the feeling you are known and liked which makes a big difference! Seems basic enough, but I've had a lot of experiences with fitness professionals that have not managed to demonstrate these qualities, so working with Al is a refreshing change.nnAlbert Ferguson is smart, tough, and kind. He will kick your butt and you will like it. Hire him! You won't be sorry.

This is a great place with skilled trainers. I have been working with Larry for the last few months. It has made a measurable difference in my body - improving the range of motion on my rotator cuff in my right shoulder (unbelievable improvement) and the strength and mobility of my knees. He always challenges, but never hurts, me. Give this place a try - you will see measurable improvement in your fitness goals!
