Testimonials

I started working with Dietrich about 6 weeks prior to my 2nd figure competition. Dietrich provided me with a personalized nutrition plan that was tailored toward what I was looking to achieve as well as customized workouts geared toward increasing my muscle mass, while significantly reducing body fat. He was also able to coach and guide me with my posing/stage walk to assure everything was in sync come competition day.

The workouts Dietrich gave me were unlike the training that I did with my previous show. These workouts were much more functional, and challenged my body in a way that it hadn’t been before. In doing more functional training, versus heavy lifting associated with “bodybuilding” I’ve learned so much more about my body than I ever thought imaginable. The way my body responded to these workouts was phenomenal! Dietrich was able to tweak the diet and workout regiment accordingly to keep my body responding in the way that I needed it to. I can honestly say I am in the absolute BEST shape I have ever been in in my life and have come so far from my first show back in April, and I owe it to Dietrich.

I know I couldn’t have come this far on my own. I thought of giving up several times but with Dietrich’s motivation and encouragement daily, it made it tough. I’m so glad I had him there to push me; otherwise I would not be where I am at today. Because he believed in me, I knew there was something he was seeing, that I wasn’t; and because of him I am 100% satisfied with my 2nd PLACE TROPHY I received at my past competition.

Dietrich and I have been training for the last couple of months. He is an amazing trainer and an incredible person. He is always devising new, interesting, effective, and YES, FUN workouts. I have been weight training for the last couple of years, and at the age of 58, I am really proud of what I have accomplished, but in my short time with Dietrich, I have increased both my endurance and the amount of weight I can lift.  I feel really toned and strong. We talk about goals and how I am going to reach them. He inspires me to really feel that I can and I have. Thank You…..

I’ve always liked lifting heavy weight, but I didn’t do it sensibly. For years I would over train and wind up blowing out my knees and shoulders. However, in one just year of training with Dietrich, I have not only TRIPLED the amount of weight I can press but have not had one ounce of pain! On the leg press, Dietrich has taken me, smartly, sensibly, and incrementally from 270 lbs all the way to 830 lbs -- beyond my wildest dreams and still building!

I have worked with Dietrich for the past year. I have been an athlete all my life. I have never been this strong ! Dietrich is so much more then a personal trainer. He gets to know his clients and works with you where you are at the time. He moves you to places you didn't even know you could get to. Since working with Dietrich I have added 30 yards to my drives on the golf course. Each shot has gained distance and my scores are coming down : ) !! I would tell anyone Dietrich is the guy to train with .

Dietrich has been my trainer for the past 2 1/2yrs. I initially came to him overweight, unhappy and with a completely blinded relationship with food.

It has been my pleasure...and challenge, to work with Dietrich over the years. I have not only reached my goal, but am now surpassing my goals beyond what I had imagined. I'VE done the work, but there is no way I could have done it without the guidance, patience and perseverance of Mr. Dietrich Horsey.

It would be very easy to make this testimonial about me, because I have improved my fitness level immensely in the nearly three years I have worked with Dietrich. But this should be about him. Despite his own incredible fitness accomplishments and knowledge base, Dietrich works continuously to make himself a better trainer. I don’t know of anybody who attends more classes and workshops. Dietrich then takes that experience and knowledge and shows up at every session prepared and ready to go. He designs workout programs of 4-to-6 weeks duration with specific goals in mind. When a program is finished, Dietrich has another 4-to-6 program ready to go. These programs are coordinated so that you see constant improvement in strength, duration, or both. My body is continually challenged, with no fitness plateaus or boring sessions. He helps turn weaknesses into strengths, concentrates on avoiding injury, and is very conservative with any injury that might occur. I strongly recommend you try Dietrich, except at 6:00 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. That’s my time.

Training has been part of my life since high school. I have been training with Dietrich since July of 2009 and I have found that his unique ability to inspire his clients to achieve their goals is one of his best attributes. Each session that I have had has a different format and Dietrich's unique style makes me want to achieve more than I ever thought was possible. Just when I think I've hit my limit Dietrich is there to give me the motivation to push harder. I never thought I would look forward to running stairs with a weighted vest, pull-ups,push ups, and lets not forget the "wheel" . Thank you for giving me the confidence to achieve my goals.
