What Clients Are Saying
“When I started training, I was nearly 300 pounds with low energy, sore joints, and little confidence in my physical ability. I had never believed in personal training before, but I knew I needed a smarter approach.
Charlie designed a program tailored to my body and progressed it at a pace that felt safe but effective. I saw results quickly and continued to build strength without injury.
Over my first year, I lost more than 40 pounds — but more importantly, my chronic joint issues disappeared. My back, knees, shoulders, and hips no longer limit me, and I feel stronger and more capable than I have in 15–20 years.
Training at CR Fitness helped me build habits I can sustain for life.”
— Chris Wild, Wyckoff, NJ
“I have been a client of Charlie for over 2 years. He is the best among all the personal trainers I have used. I have been on a multi-year mission to lose weight and get into the best shape I can. While our sessions are focused on strength training, he also gets involved in discussing my nutrition and the cardio exercise I do at home. His workouts constantly offer variety with a focus on achieving results while avoiding injury. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get into better shape.”
– Michael Kane, Glen Rock, NJ
“I have been working with Charlie for a year and I can’t say enough great things about him as a trainer. As a guy over 40 I wanted a knowledgeable and thoughtful trainer who took into account not only my goals but my injuries (I have a bad back). Charlie constantly is creating new routines for me which are challenging but also ensures I’m not doing anything that can re-injure my back (and working my core which has helped my back pain). There are plenty of trainers out there that use the same cookie cutter programs and aren’t thinking about individual clients – fortunately, that’s not Charlie.”
– Sean Kelly, Wyckoff, NJ
