The most valuable thing I have gained from working out at Petranek Fitness is a willingness to do that which I previously thought I could never do. Although the workouts are intense and the exercises sometimes foreign, Andy breaks them down and approaches them in a way that makes you trust you are indeed capable of executing them.

It is an approach that has affected me both physically and mentally. I am now a better competitor in the sports in which I train, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. I am stronger, faster, and have better endurance than ever before. Since joining Petranek Fitness, I gained the confidence to run my first 5K and compete in my first adventure race.

I also feel much more positive about my body image. Wearing a bikini at the pool is no longer a stress inducing occasion and I was even asked to do a photo shoot for an online fitness magazine. I recently spent time with friends I had not seen in a few months, and every one of them complimented me immediately on the changes in my body’s appearance.

The workouts at Petranek Fitness are the most intense I have ever experienced, but also the most rewarding. There is nothing quite like listening to Andy explain the workout and thinking, “How am I going to do that?” and then within half an hour realizing you accomplished something you did not think possible.
