Success Stories

"I love what I do. It shows in each and every session. I love to help people."
Phil Nicolaou

To prospective clients,

Phil has been with the IFPA for a long time now & is among our most dedicated & professional trainers. I am sure you are aware that he is currently working on his PhD though our affiliate the Fitness Institute of Technology and currently holds many IFPA Certifications. I am at home office this morning & don't have access to office staff to get you an exact quote, but I believe he holds over 30 IFPA Certifications. I do not know of anyone in your part of the country that has half of his knowledge.

You have made the right choice with Phil.
Dr. Jim Bell. PhD, CEO of the IFPA

"Phil has been my personal trainer for 2 months, coming out to my home twice a week. Prior to meeting him I was a sedentary 57 year old woman who had worked out with personal trainers years before when I had joined gyms.

Unlike the other personal trainers I'd worked with, Phil really listens and creates interesting and varied workouts that challenge me without overtaxing my abilities. Gradually, I'm becoming more fit and have more energy. The other thing that I appreciate about him is that he follows up with me on a regular basis to find out how I'm doing and to gently and with humor encourage me to do my cardio in-between visits."
Susan S. from Chadds Ford, PA

We are honored to have you part of the IFPA team!"

"I've met with many trainers and you were the only one that listened to my needs and put together a program that helped me deal with my herniated disk so much, the workout impressed my chiropractor. You are the best I've worked with!" *I helped this individual so much that she was kind enough to give me a thank you card with a $50 gift card to a local restaurant.
