Dr. Frank Garcias' Testimonial

A professional himself, Dr. Frank Garcia was not an easy sell. Nevertheless, the first time he met Gloria Ponziano, he knew he had found something and someone very special. "While looking for a personal trainer, I made a conscious effort to ask around," says Dr. Garcia. "There is nothing as reliable as a direct recommendation or referral from past clients who were happy with the services they received. Gloria, or More Than Fitness, repeatedly clenched the vote of approval. Yet, I had to see for myself," continues Garcia.

Dr. Garcia was committed to finding a personal trainer. He was tired of futile workouts and training methods that ultimately left him at ground zero. He wanted to find an individual that "knew what he or she was doing," and that would assist him in clenching a "safe" and "effective" workout regiment. He put in a call to Gloria, and was ever so happy that he did so. "My first impressions of Gloria were favorable. She was to the point. She expressed her goals (as far as my overall health and body were concerned) and expressed her plans (as far as working with me). I decided right then and there to start."

Working with Gloria proved to Garcia that he had gone the right route. Not only was Gloria "professional," contends Garcia; she was also very "accommodating." "Gloria was (and is) everything that I imagined a personal trainer to be, but she was (and continues to be) even more. She pays special attention to each and every detail. She is always looking for ways to improve her style. She adds a personal touch to her services. For example, she always has clean towels and ample water available at her sessions, which may not seem like an extraordinary thing, but it is one less thing that I need to worry about," says Garcia!

It also appears that Gloria has a certain exceptional talent or touch. "Gloria is unique. She is so personable. She does not pry, nor force you to open up to her; she doesn't need to. Her genuine concern and desire to help shows in her ability to carry on conversation and also my ability to talk to her about, well, pretty much anything," says Garcia. "She knows how to motivate; she really knows how to get you going and keep you going," concludes Garcia. "Getting fit" is a way for Garcia, like many others, to release pent-up frustration. As Garcia comments, "it is an escape hatch." But with Gloria, Garcia has found other, equally important, benefits of training. "In Gloria I have found a human response. As I become more confident of my outer-image, I have found that I am much more out-going and confident in my daily interaction with people. It is strange, but it seems I feel a bit more confident with my outer image combined wirth a healthy psycological work in a very intimate and amazing way."

And if this weren't already enough, Gloria has also sparked Dr. Garcia's interest in alternative medicine, a field on which he has paid little or no attention throughout the entirety of his career. Garcia comments on the topic, "I have been looking into herbal treatments for menopausal symptoms. I never had much faith in alternative or herbal remedies. To be quite honest, I always remained rather dubious and reluctant concerning these off-shoots of medicine, but through conversation with Gloria, I have really taken a step back and continue to look into and re-evaluate my opinions concerning these areas."

Dr. Frank Garcia's connection with Gloria has more than transformed his body; it has transformed his life. He continues to work with Gloria in his pursuit to achieve and maintain "optimal health" as a way of living, living a life that before he could only dream to call his own.
