Client Success Stories
At 64 years of age, I had lost strength and mobility and it was appearing in everyday life as well as on the golf course. Walking down a flight of stairs was becoming a challenge as was playing golf at a competitive level. Looking at myself in the mirror had me focusing on the wrinkles on my face and my sagging body.
After a phone interview with Patrick, it became apparent he understood at a high level the benefits of improving mobility and strength. He asked detailed questions and provided me with a custom training program. With little more than 30 minutes a day/ 4 days a week, I was able to transform my aging body into a noticeably different "in shape" man.
My goal was to be able to take my shirt off in Florida and not be conscious of my physical appearance. I was never grossly overweight but the process Patrick took me through redistributed that weight and for the first time in years I was proud to take my shirt off at the pool. I am also a competitive golfer, having won many club events over the years. This year I was crowned Sr Club Champion and in part, it was due to my improved mobility and strength. I am hitting the ball farther and I am no longer fatigued after the round.
Patrick "gets it" ...........he didn't require me to buy fancy weights or equipment, he simply worked with me and used my own body weight to build muscle and flexibility. Patrick has opened my eyes to simplified strength and mobility training. I can work out at my home; I don't need a gym and I can get results that I am proud of. For me, being able to stay home to work out and yet know my Coach is only an email away, allows me to feel confident I can continue to progress. Having met my goals (more strength, more flexibility, more mobility, and a body I am not ashamed of) came together within 120 days.
With the strongest of endorsement for Patrick at Syracuse Fitness I would encourage anyone looking to grow old gracefully to engage his services, results will come, and I can perform all of his movements and get the benefits of a personal trainer all in the comfort of my home.

“My name is Teja, I am 34 and I live in Slovenia, Europe. I am an active person who has done a lot of different sports programs in the past, but I never received such fantastic guidance, support, and results with my training as I do now with Patrick.
Before meeting Patrick I had a persistent lower back pain that wouldn’t stop. I tried different techniques and approaches, but nothing really helped. In just 3 weeks of Patrick’s coaching my lower back pain completely disappeared and I learned how to manage it daily.
Patrick also made a difference with my handstand journey. Before meeting him, I couldn’t hold a handstand without the support of a wall. Now, I am getting results and amazing progress with it. His coaching helped me to focus on strength training to support all my sports interests such as mountain biking, boxing, or every activity that I do.
Patrick really cares about his students and is always available and super responsive, he offers additional advice and helps with the exercises, reviews form technique, he is super supportive and a great motivator. With his support, I really feel that there is nothing I couldn’t do..
I would recommend Patrick’s coaching to anyone who seeks an individual and tailored strength, endurance, mobility, skills or other sports program, an accountability partner and a coach with a big heart.”

“As a former personal trainer myself, training with Patrick has changed my approach to fitness a lot. I was bored with the weights, circuit, or HIIT workouts that I had been doing since football workouts in 8th grade. I wanted something that would be different and interesting and that’s what I get every time with Patrick’s workouts.
My flexibility has improved, I can do calisthenic skills I never imagined being able to do, and I have learned a great deal. The workouts have helped make me a better athlete for Spartan Races, running, and just playing pick-up basketball.”

“Patrick is amazing. I had my doubts about working out. I wanted to build strength but was afraid I wouldn’t be able to exercise without being in constant pain. Patrick finds ways to modify exercises so they can be performed by a middle-aged person such as myself. I feel stronger, my joints don’t hurt like they did before I started exercising, and I have more stamina than I have in a long time.”

“I’ve been training with Patrick DiBello through his online program for 7 months now and I’ve come to appreciate him and his coaching philosophy a lot! Patrick is very talented and understands that the key to keeping his clients motivated toward achieving their goals is to work on them one day at a time.
Patrick is very knowledgeable and his instructions are very easy to understand. And should you have any questions about the specifics of the body mechanics behind any of the exercises he prescribes to you, he is very quick to respond. Prior to working with Patrick, I used to underestimate calisthenics but now that I’m 7 months into my program I’m noticing the difference it has made - and it’s much more than the time when I was mindlessly following an arbitrary self-made program.
Patrick’s workout programs are focused and do a very good job of keeping things balanced, so you don’t crash and burn. My overall experience with Patrick as my coach has been overwhelmingly positive - 13/10 would recommend!”

“Patrick is amazing!! I am so glad I met him and I can’t say enough about him as my coach and personal trainer. When I first met Patrick I had a basic notion about what my fitness goals were but had no idea how to get there or if it was at all possible.
Patrick’s clear, down-to-earth training approach was a game-changer for me on multiple levels. Not only am I stronger and more fit, but I continue to learn and understand the intricacies of strength, stability, mobility, and balance, and the discipline that’s required to learn and master these skills. I have complete confidence and trust at all times that Patrick will teach me proper and safe technique, all while giving me full support and confidence in what’s possible.
This is someone who knows his stuff, is so generous in sharing it to help build others, and has incredible qualities as a person. Patrick is very easy to be around, extremely patient, and super genuine. I have so much respect and admiration for his depth of knowledge and integrity and for his caring and positive attitude toward everyone he works with. Thank you Patrick for helping me make my inverting and balancing dreams come true!”
