Let me start by saying, this is my second go round with Troy and the T2F Crew. The first time I joined the team/squad, I lost 20+ pounds. But, unfortunately for me, I stopped and guess what…I put that weight plus more, back on. It’s like Troy always says: “it’s a lifestyle.”

Now that I’ve come back, and lost 35 lbs… I get it now. I am fully committed. This is my life and I plan to live it…”healthy & fit.”

Thank you so much, Troy!

I have been working with Troy for over a year now, and I am very pleased with the results! I started working out with the goal of gaining some muscle weight and becoming more toned overall. Troy not only tailored some of the workouts to help build muscle mass, but he recommended diet changes and incorporating protein shakes with my meal to help with my weight gain. I am happy to report that I have gained 10lbs of muscle (which historically has been very hard for me to do) and I look much more toned! Family & friends have noticed the change and I feel great! Troy has built a fantastic training program that ensures you will get the results you are looking for in a safe and effective manner. He also continuously motivates me to push harder and to make sure I stay on track with my diet changes. I really appreciate the effort he makes to help me with my fitness goals, and I highly recommend working with him!

I started working with Troy in August, 2016. Initially, I was a little intimidated and did not know what to expect. Within two months, I lost 22 lbs, and it felt great. There were no gimmicks or diet pills, just old-fashioned exercise and eating correctly. Troy is very supportive and patient with his clients, and doing work-outs with the group was great. I highly recommend Tru2fitness.

For those who know me, fitness is my Zen. I have a very busy work schedule, which includes quite a bit of travel outside of MD and for anyone who has done it, they know that hotels and restaurants can easily get you into a lot of trouble with your diet and fitness routine. About 6 years ago, I became a fanatic about working out, and that includes taking my work out clothes with me on every trip, which made the difference in keeping my rhythm in working out. Before I started with T2F about a little over a year ago, I was working out 3-4 times a week with about 95% cardio and to some extent watching what I eat and I could maintain my weight. But despite my exercise, I started to notice shifts in my body mass and shape each year I got older, and I knew I needed to do something extra, but couldn’t identify what it was. That’s when I would see the FB posts of other testimonials from others (including my classmates) who had worked with Troy over the years, and one day I finally decided it was time to try it out to see if working with a trainer would give me that extra boost. Well, it did. That extra boost that I needed (under Troy’s guidance) was adding the proper strength training to my cardio regimen (adding one more day to take it up to 4-5 days a week), but also with an increased focus on my caloric intake and the types of food that I ate. For some of us, we think cardio alone will do it, but unfortunately, I learned that your body will plateau and despite the same fight to keep the weight off (and you didn’t do anything differently other than become a year older), your progress comes to a halt or even goes south. I will admit that it has become fun (I’m lying LOL) to treat my body as a science experiment to keep trying a different formula to figure out what it will take to keep my metabolic rate functioning at an acceptable level for me to be happy. It came down to choosing better and healthier foods in my meal preparation (protein is power!) to boost my energy levels. I also started recording and preparing my meals for the week at the beginning of the week, which reduces the likelihood of making bad choices or impulse eating. What that also did was to help me discover that some foods that I could eat when I was younger were no longer tolerable and were having a negative impact on me holistically (i.e. switching from coffee to tea helped me realize that lactose is no longer my friend, even in small amounts).
So, thanks to a T2F routine of incorporating strength/core training into an already rigorous cardio commitment, adding an additional day to my regimen, and structuring my food intake, I started building a balance of muscle mass throughout my body and not just my legs. Yes, I love my calves, but I now my arms, too!!! Do I still have my treats- yes! But of course, everything now is in a form of moderation.
I’m thankful to Troy and my faithful cohorts on Saturday mornings who through their camaraderie gave me an additional reason to roll out of bed on a weekend morning and make it happen. Once you get there and put in the work, you feel great when it’s done.
Also, kudos to all T2F fam’ who wrote testimonies before me, as it was you who inspired me to take the leap and continue in making a change to my goals. I know that each of us approaches fitness for different reasons, but in the end, if we all think about it, it all comes down to balance and a commitment to mind, body, and spirit. If we are in sync and we feel good about ourselves, then we look good, and if we look good, our energy permeates the air. Many Thanks TROY- UDaMan! TooEasy!!!

Troy, I want to thank you for your continued support in my fitness journey. The couple of months that you instructed me still play a vital role in my exercise routine. I make sure that I pay attention to form. I love the personal attention you give to all your students. Also, thank you so much for coming to my Church and doing a seminar on health & fitness, and doing nutrition and fitness demos. Peace and Blessings!

I grew up being an athlete and always doing something with sports. As I became older with children and a family I began to slack off with my activities. When I was in my 40′s realizing that where this weight came from. This was the heaviest I’ve ever been. Now in my 50′s I have come to realize that I need to make some major changes in my life, diet and overall well being. I was 227 pounds when I started with Troy and it has made a significant change in my life. I am now down to 206 pounds about 2 1/2 months (took some time off for minor surgery). So I changed my way of thinking about food, which in the end changes your outlook on how you feel and look. Yes I love potatoes and chocolate, but now I eat them very seldom. I work out more and have been consistent because of my trainer, Troy. He gives me the motivation that I have lacked for so long. Being healthy is so important in this lifetime. I want to prolong my life on earth for myself and my children. Troy has been a God sent to me and others. In the end you have to want to change your lifestyle and way of eating.

While scrolling thru the Facebook pages of my fellow City Knights I saw a posting for Tru2Fitness. After messaging Troy, I started the next day. I had never attended a Fit Camp. I was excited. I needed a change from my normal day to day. Over a year ago, I had made a conscious decision to eat healthier, to lose weight, and to become more active. At the time I met Troy, I thought I was doing all I could to improve. After going to my first Fit Camp, I knew that to no longer be true. We met and talked about my eating and exercise habits. All the training I had been doing up to that point wasn’t really properly training my body. Several weeks later, not only did I make a few new friends, but I could clearly feel my body changing. My body became stronger, more defined, and more agile. I felt stronger and more confident and ran my first 10K. I also lost an additional 20 pounds and 12 inches overall. I am grateful for the lessons I learned while working with Troy and look forward to the next time.

You are my shining Knight !

Thank you.

I followed Troy here on Facebook for awhile and enjoyed his posts on nutrition and fitness, but I didn’t join him right away. I was already locked in with another trainer. Before Troy, my journey started Oct. 2012 weighing in at 216 lbs. I wore a size 18/20. I decided enough is enough. In two years I lost 54 pounds. That was a great accomplishment. Then life happened. Job got demanding and I found myself not working out as much as before. I was told I had to have minor surgery so the stress and emotional eating began. I started making excuses as to why I was too tired to workout. After surgery, I knew I had to change my mindset because I was gaining weight. So I decided to talk to Troy about what I call “Phase 2” of my journey. I expressed a need for a leaner and sculpted body and he said “Too Easy!” I weighed in at 175 lbs when I started with Tru2Fitness, beginning with Fit Camp. Troy was very informative and he designed exercises around my goals, needs, and previous ailments. I really looked forward to Fit Camp. I gave up on job demands and made the choice that my health was more important and purchased a package which included a ‘meal plan’ and some words of wisdom and motivation. His personality gave me the encouragement to even study fitness, personal training, and nutrition and share with others the experience. Currently I am a certified personal trainer and I’m 5 pounds away from my goal weight of 154 lbs. I now wear a size 8/10 and am looking forward to completing this course with my mentor and friend, Troy Brown.

“I can not say enough good things about this program, but what makes it outstanding is Troy! Since I am an older participant (65 yrs old) in this program and unfamiliar with the terms, I struggle sometimes to keep up and perform all the exercises that came so easily at a younger age. Troy works with me and all other individuals in the class to find the level they are most comfortable with and then assures we have the correct form. Never once has he ever made me feel uncomfortable, because I could not perform a certain move. He simply suggests a different move more suited to my level. When I came to Maryland I missed my hometown workout activity. I was so excited when I discovered the local Tru2fitness program and in over a year it has never failed to deliver, the fitness program I had been looking for that Troy so easily adapts to all levels.”

“My family has a history of diabetes and heart disease. It’s painful to see my mom’s quality of life deteriorate due to poor health.After my husband passed away due to poor health, I finally realized that I had to change my life style by eating right and exercise. Vet Pack told me about Tru2Fitness. Joining Troy’s boot camp was one of the best decisions I made toward building a healthy life style. Only after 2 months of attending boot camp, I lost approximately 10 pounds lowering my BMI (body mass index) to an average level. Troy is an awesome fitness trainer. He was very attentive to my needs. Not easy starting out in your 60’s however Troy made me very comfortable. He modified certain exercises in order for me to gain the best workout without injuring myself. I found Troy’s food plan easy to follow and helpful toward achieving good eating habits and menu options. I really enjoyed working out with the team. Everyone was helpful and encouraging. Troy worked us hard but kept it fun as well. Thanks Troy for all you do to help people like myself get fit for life.”
