I’m fitting into clothes that I never thought I would!

Josef had me buy a set of clothes I’d like to wear upon reaching my fitness goals. They would represent a stretch goal to hang on the back of my bedroom door. A reminder of what I was trying to achieve.

I hated the idea. I had a 41 inch waist and 36inch slacks that didn’t fit were already a bitter reminder of my girth and lost fitness. Buying even more clothes that were too small seemed like a stupid idea.

But, I went to Macy’s anyway. I found the nicest and most expensive Ralph Lauren kaki pants and polo shirt I could find. The pants were a 33 and the shirt was a medium… 36 didn’t fit and I’d always worn large shirts.

I took the clothes to the counter to pay and the saleswoman behind the counter asked me, “Sir, would you like to try these clothes on before you buy them? They might be too small for you.”

In my head I thought, “just sell me the clothes bitch!” But I said, “no thank you” in a way that still got my point across.

The clothes hung on my door as I worked with Josef around my issues with food and to develop my commitment to working out. I learned a lot about myself in the process and began to develop and enjoy healthy eating habits and I got results!

I tried on my Ralph Lauren outfit the other day to see how close I was to my goal. They slipped on with no problem! I was stunned. I never thought that I would fit into these clothes. The outfit is no longer a cause for distress and humiliation. Now they are an inspiration to keep going.

I have met literally hundreds of personal trainers

“I have met literally hundreds of personal trainers and I think that Josef Brandenburg is THE best personal trainer in Washington, DC hands down. If you live in Washington, DC and you are looking to drop body fat or to pack on muscle, then you need to hire Josef. If you hire anyone else you are just throwing away your money. Consider yourself warned.”

“He is the best trainer in Washington, DC, he also happens to be the best personal trainer in Connecticut!”

“If you’re reading this odds are you have a decision to make, continue doing what you’re doing and be unhappy or start getting the results you want.
A few months ago I was beyond frustrated: I was fat, spending my mornings and nights in the gym, working 65-70 hours a week, in the process of buying a house and trying to figure out how and when to propose to my girlfriend. And, I was about to turn 30. I decided enough was enough.
I wasn’t going to propose to my girlfriend until I lost all the fat I’ve gained the last few years. I read a few of Josef’s articles published on T-Nation.
After reading about his clients and his own transformation I knew I had to work with him, the only problem is I live in Connecticut.
There it was in bold letters “Josef Brandenburg THE best personal trainer in Washington, DC” so I sent him an email anyway and he agreed to help me get RESULTS!

“Everything I read about Josef was true, he is the best trainer in Washington, DC, he also happens to be the best personal trainer in Connecticut!
Josef put together fun challenging workouts that included working on mobility issue’s I had, along with previous injuries. The BEST part is the longest time I spent in the gym in one day was 50mins!!!! Along with the training program Josef gave me great nutritional guidance, not to mention AMAZING recipes!
Josef is also a great guy who really cares. In 8 weeks I have made more progress than I have in 2 years! Look’s like I’ll be buying that ring a lot sooner than I thought.”
