I started working out with Keelan Hastings (I call him MY HERO) in 2009. At that time, after having had Surgery, I could hardly walk, was in pain, had no strength in my arms, shoulders or legs. My back hurt constantly. Today at 71 years old I feel like a completely new person. Keelan has done wonders for/with me, I could never repay him for what he has done. I started by working out with Keelan three times a week over a year ago, I am now working out with him twice a week and working out on my own at the gym. I was also over weight due to my not being able to exercise on my own………. that weight is gone as well. Please call Keelan Hastings if you want or need some help with your life. ~ Viki F.

Over Weight, High Cholesterol, and newly diagnosed with High Blood Pressure at 45 years old. My 77 year old Mother is healthier than me! Still I was not ready to change my lifestyle.
Then about 2 months ago I walked into my closet and couldn’t find anything that fit. I have a closet with sections I call: regular – fat – fatter clothes. I knew in my head for a few weeks that I had gained more weight, but still was not motivated. I was in the fatter section and nothing fit. I was miserable, my daughter was waiting for me to get ready to go shopping, and I had nothing to wear. I wanted to cry….literally.
I’ve known Keelan and Emily for years and knew they could help. I walked out of my closet and called Keelan. We met that Monday and started on a program designed for me.
I am getting up at 5:30 a.m. and going to the gym. I also pack my food everyday (Mon.-Fri.), snacks, lunch, etc….this way I always make the right choice.
The first week I was tired and hated all of it. I set my alarm for 5:30 a.m. and when it goes off…..my feet hit the floor. I don’t snooze and I don’t even roll over. I can’t give myself one second to think about getting up, or I won’t!
In six weeks, through the holidays….I’ve lost 8 pounds. I still have a lot more to lose, but I’m on the right path and committed to getting healthy. I feel like I’m always eating and never hungry. And I have so much energy now! I’ve even registered to do a 1/2 Marathon in April. ~ Wendy R.

Over four years ago in 2006, my wife Roseanne and our two daughters, Mia and Alissa, all strongly suggested to me that Dad needed to get on an exercise program. This was not exactly a request that I eagerly welcomed.
In college, thirty-one years ago in 1978, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (M.S.). I was told by my doctor to avoid or minimize physical activity in my life. At that time, this was “recommended” and thought to reduce the potential occurrence of relapses, flare-ups or exacerbation’s of my M.S. symptoms. I, unfortunately, accepted this advice as fact. Over the past twenty plus years of inactivity, I have gained fat mass and lost muscle mass and tone.
It was not until my youngest daughter, Alissa, met Keelan and told Dad: “You’ve got to meet Keelan Hastings…he’s extremely energetic, motivated and built like a horse” that I took her suggestion. I have now been working out with the expert guidance of Keelan as my personal trainer for over four years. At first the changes in the condition of my body surprised me. My muscle mass and tone have increased significantly. My energy level and stamina have also grown as well. And, my body’s former fat cells are now amazingly changing over into strong muscle cells. I am absolutely certain that I have not been this fit since I was on my high school tennis team back in 1977.
I now know that even when I experience a relapse of my M.S. my new physically fit body enables me to recover more rapidly. Training with Keelan has given me a new zest for life and I eagerly look forward to every training session with him. I am absolutely confident that with Keelan’s coaching you will achieve similar results! ~ Carl Ferreri-Feske

I started with Keelan when I was in my early forties. I was on high-blood pressure and sleep medication with a chronic shoulder problem. He immediately began to instill me with self confidence and made me really believe that I can change the way I look and feel. He not only developed a custom workout program, but also assisted with my diet and pushed me to do things outside of our training sessions – things that he knew would make me feel better and help improve my overall health and well being.
As a result, I have lost over 35 pounds, gotten stronger and toned my body in a way that really makes me feel good about myself now. My doctor has taken me off the blood pressure medication and I no longer have to take sleeping pills. I enjoy exercising and many people have commented on the difference in both my appearance and attitude – and what girl doesn’t like that? On top of all that, I am currently training to complete in my first mini-triathlon!
Keelan is extremely well qualified and well versed in both fitness training and nutrition and is constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of life for all of his clients. He constantly raises the bar for me and motivates me to want to do better. I will forever owe him a debt of personal gratitude for helping me change my life! ~ Teresa Brunson
