As a chiropractor in practice for over twenty years, it is very important that I keep myself healthy. The physical demands of adjusting many families and individuals week in and week out can really wear the body down. Chiropractors are notorious for skeletal conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and shoulder injuries. To prevent such problems, I have always gone to a chiropractor on a weekly basis and kept to a strict exercise routine of running twenty miles a week and lifting weights for a minimum of one hour three times a week. I always looked at it as an investment in my future as a chiropractor.

In April of 2003, I achieved a personal goal that had been a dream - I rode my motorcycle from Bradley Beach, New Jersey to San Francisco, California (3017 miles) in 46 1/2 hrs. When I finished and for days later my arms and shoulders ached from the ride.  I didn't look at my bike for a week.

Soon after that a friend of mine introduced me to Michael and Sarah Offen who train people using the super-slow method. I had read about it and thought I would give it a try. I was intrigued by the concept of reducing my time in the gym without losing strength.

From the very beginning of my training with Michael and Sarah I saw a big difference. It was amazing to me how a half hour session could do so much. As the weeks went by I soon noticed my running improving and I increased my distance to thirty miles a week. In May I did another motorcycle rally - an endurance run that lasted 48 hrs. Not only did I feel fine when the event was over (no soreness), I felt so strong that I cancelled my hotel reservation and rode the extra 230 miles home.

I would highly recommend the Offen's Intelligent Fitness. It has contributed greatly to my overall health while reducing the time needed to train and stay fit.

Intelligent Fitness Super Slow Weight Training - Feel stronger and healthier, physically and Mentally. I have been working out with Bonnie and Michael for the past 2 1/2 hrs. The Intelligent Fitness program has benefited me in many ways. Three and a half years ago I quit smoking and gained over 20 pounds. I physically felt slow and sluggish. In addition to gaining weight I had back problems for the last six years.  The Super Slow weight training along with healthy eating and exercise has changed my life. I am physically stronger and my back pain as decreased 80 percent. In the past two years I have lost over 22 pounds and 2 dress sizes.

At age 42 I am a better athlete, I play competitive volleyball, snow board aggressively, play tennis and ride a bicycle. Presently I exercise 5- 6 times a week and feel great. It took me a while to get here but it is all worth while. Super Slow weight training will always be a part of my program.

I've been training with Intelligent Fitness for over a year and the results are fabulous.   As a 35 year old working Mom, even  I can fit a 15 minute work out into my schedule.  The Offen's are delightful professionals who keep you motivated and on track. 

The Super Slow technique can't be beat for immediate results while maintaining a safe workout.  I started out with two training sessions per week and am now down to one per week.  My strength and flexibility are far better than ever.  I wholeheartedly recommend Intelligent Fitness for your training needs.

After the birth of my second child, I found it more difficult to get back into shape.  At the same time, I realized I could not devote 1 – 1 ½ hrs a few days a week to get to the gym.  Super Slow is the solution to a busy lifestyle.  For a relatively short period of time, you exert a great deal of energy for real results.  It's the most efficient workout I've ever done.  Along with a sensible diet, you really can reshape your body.  I've always lacked upper body strength and definition that I've achieved now, for a more well-proportioned appearance. 

Super Slow is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity for continued strength and fitness.

L. Krall  (Midwife)

I'm a person who has always struggled with her weight - and there's nothing I hate more than dieting -except exercise!  As I got into the "midlife" years, i found that weight loss without exercise was not possible.  After doing some research into the options (and trying/not succeeding with all I could on my own), I learned about Super Slow which promised big results in minimal time.  I interviewed some potential trainers and made one of the best decisions of my life.  I hired Michael and Sarah Offen.

These are unique people with great talent and a serious mission: to stand for and with their clients to ensure their total health and well being.  What they do to make this happen is hard to describe - but it is nothing short of miraculous (especially when considering my resistance!).  One of the two Offen's spends every minute of every session with me - in my face- monitoring my breathing, checking out my body position, cheering me on - MAKING ME WIN!  I've never had the experience of working with a Personal Trainer before, but I am an Executive Coach and I know talent when I see it!  All three of us (me, Sarah and Michael) are fully committed to my success - which in only three months has already shown significant gain in my strength (and a 12 pound loss in weight)!  I can't imagine a more resistant client and more effective coaches!

I have been a client of Sarah and Michael Offen for the past 2 1/2 years.  I am impressed with their dedicated passion about the Super Slow method. 

They pay close personal attention to the needs of their clients.  This is the only workout in which I have received no injuries.  This is due in part to the type of equipment as well as their knowledge of training and the body.  I have always had a pattern of starting an exercise routine, joining gyms and quitting after a few months.  Intelligent Fitness is the only exercise program that I have stuck with.  I attribute this to Sarah and Michael's professional and caring attitude as well as the results I see.

A. Marks (Special Ed Teacher)

My husband, Herb, and I have always been committed to a healthy lifestyle.  The most difficult issue for us was the exercise component.  We would join and then quit health clubs, or buy gym equipment but not use it.  When I heard about the super slow method I was intrigued and decided to investigate.

Mike and Sarah are trainer/coaches in every sense of the word.  They encourage you to believe in yourself and push you to your limit while creating a positive "I can do it" atmosphere.  They are ever mindful of using the equipment correctly and maintaining correct form at all times.  As our trainers, they have tirelessly worked to promote a healthy lifestyle for us.

We have been in the Intelligent Fitness program for over three years.  The one-on-one personal attention and honest caring attitude of Mike and Sarah have helped us both to develop a lifelong commitment to this healthy strength training routine.  It has made us feel stronger, look better and has enabled us to develop a sensible approach to fitness.

There is no better bang for your buck when it comes to an efficient exercise.  This is an intense strength training routine which takes little time and gives great results.

I have been training at Intelligent Fitness by Michael and Sarah Offen since August 2002.  I am a 23 year-old female that has tried every way to get in shape. After finding out that cardio alone would not do it for me, I was recommended this type of training. After doing this very specialized training for almost six months I see many changes.

First, overall I feel stronger. Second, I look toner. And finally, I have a better self-image about myself.

I look forward to my workout sessions and rarely miss one.  I have made training at Intelligent Fitness a part of my weekly schedule.  You have to make a commitment in order to get the benefits out of it.

Currently, I work in Sayreville, NJ as a food technologist/engineer.  My job description requires me to maintain an organized and working laboratory. This at times can be high energy, high paced and strength endured. This type of training gives me the endurance to do the every things my job presents to me.

I can't wait till I have my next workout!

I began my "Intelligent Fitness" workouts one year ago this March. It was at a time in my life when chaos prevailed. A time when all that had been established and secured was now rapidly changing. During this period I had dropped nearly two sizes due to the constant challenges in my life.  Many women would perhaps celebrate such weight loss but it was neither wanted nor necessary for me to do so.  Friends and acquaintances started mentioning how thin I was looking and questioning if I was feeling O.K. I myself could see that because of the incessant stress I was facing daily, my body did not reflect the strength of my spirit. Intuitively I knew I needed to begin a weight training program and I knew that when my schedule permitted I wanted to work with Sarah and Michael Offen because I witnessed a woman in my town transform her body doing their one on one "Super Slow" workout.

My first day at "Intelligent Fitness" Michael patiently took me through a workout program which he suited for me and diligently watched my motion to insure proper movement while achieved the maximum work out for each muscle group.  I then came twice a week to do my 20 - 30 minute workout.  This twice a week schedule lasted 3 months and now I go once a week. I gladly travel the 45 minute drive each way because the physical and psychological benefits I reap after this workout are invaluable. I eagerly look forward to my personal training.  At each visit Sarah "lords over me" making sure each of my exercises are performed with perfect precision while encouraging and coaching me like the true professional that she is.

The "Super Slow" method of personal training was the necessary ingredient needed in my life, unifying my body, soul and spirit. Now when I took in the mirror I see a body that reflects my inner strength and confidence.

Intelligent Fitness gives me much more than I expected. A sort time working out with two wonderfully competent and caring trainers I have renewed strength and flexibility in my body, especially my legs, ankles and feet. I sleep better and have an overall sense of well-being. I haven't felt this positive about my physical abilities for quite a few years. It's as it the clock has been turned for me. I would recommend this gym to anyone of any age or physical shape.
