"I've been working out with Barry Broutman for almost a year, and my experience has been nothing less then fabulous. I wanted to work out with a personal trainer so I could lose weight, feel better and feel stronger. With Barry's help, I've accomplished much more than I ever thought.
I'm constantly impressed with Barry's professionalism and thorough understanding of not only weight training-but the complex psychological "training" that also takes place. I imagine it's very difficult to adapt to so many different clients' personalities and their individual needs-but Barry gets it.
Barry's commitment to his to his career is evident as he continues to find new ways
for his clients-and himself-to feel invigorated and grow.
If life ever takes me away from Chicago, my standards for personal trainers are so high-I doubt I'll ever find anyone as talented as Barry."
Sarah Anderson
"Barry has been my personal trainer for seven years. His expertise and
commitment to my total fitness is why I've stayed with him. He knows how to
motivate, to challenge and to anticipate what I need. What has been most
impressive to watch is how he has consistently improved his abilities while
broadening his services to his clients. He continues to be my sole trainer
and I expect to be working with him for many years to come."
Craig Sieben
"Since our very first meeting, I have always felt that my needs were first and foremost to you. Time and time
again you have proven me correct as we have worked together to adjust my program, keep me interested
and keep things fun - all while achieving very good results!"
Deborah McCann
"Barry keeps each training session interesting and varies the pattern from one session to the next.
And in each session, he concentrates on me and is always very carefully looking for any techniques
that could cause injuries. I have watched him in the gym with his other clients. His focus is always on
the person he is with. He is not distracted and not self involved. He will always challenge you to do better
and set your goals higher. And, his pleasant and kind nature makes each session enjoyable. I could not do
him justice by writing this but I do hold him with the highest regard and respect. I highly recommend anyone
interested in getting into shape or needs assistance after an injury to train with Barry. They will see the benefits."

Two
years ago, I attended a symposium on middle aged and
older women's health. A discussion about the
value of weight training grabbed me. Realizing
that I needed guidance and doubting I could be
self-motivated, I sought referrals for a personal
trainer. How fortunate that one of them led me to
Barry! It's now been 2-1/2 years since I've worked
with Barry. I don't think any one else could have
motivated me--and kept me committed--this long.
Barry requires that I set goals, probes about why I've
set them, and then helps me get there. He is
extremely knowledgeable, creative and flexible in
arranging workouts that accomplish the task without
becoming too routine. He really stays focused and
is attentive to everything I'm doing. He's always
raising the bar and is confident that I can keep working
harder. Try him out--you'll have no regrets!

"Barry brings a unique expertise to his training. He is able to adapt the knowledge and
experience he has in fitness training and nutrition to the
individual needs of the client."
Kathy Tarkowski
"I have only the highest praise for Barry and his
style of personal training. Barry is personally
engaging, highly committed to the needs of his clients
and extremely knowledgeable about all areas of fitness.
I am especially appreciative of his attentiveness to
proper form and his ability to keep me challenged and
motivated. He is tough when needed and yet knows when I
need to take it down a notch, such as after an illness
or injury. I have worked with a number of trainers over
the years. Barry is by far the best!"
Carla Levin LCSW, BCD
"I've run several
marathons but I realized I was missing other dimensions
of being
physically fit, such as weight training and flexibility.
Barry helped me set goals and
achieve a higher level of fitness."

"At our Wellness
Series sponsored by the Medical Dept. of United
Airlines, Barry discussed ways to minimize weight gain
during the holidays. His approach, demeanor, and
appearance were very professional. Barry effectively
demonstrated a vast knowledge base about his subject.
His presentation was very organized and motivating at a
time of year that we all needed a lot of coaching!
Specific and manageable fitness goals for the group were
highlighted. Our employees were very pleased with the
information they received, including the handouts. I
would recommend Barry to anyone requesting his
services."
