| Dr Ben Myers DO MPh "
Thank you Brian for what you and bodyworks have done for me. I was
skeptical at first when I was told that I can get into amazing shape with
just 30 MINUTES. two or three times a week. As a very busy Orthopedic spinal surgeon I was also
concerned about the potential for injury. Fortunatley you proved me wrong.Your CONTRACTION TRAINING GOT ME RIPPED!!!! My waist size dropped and my active resting heart rate is
below 55. We had met over ten years ago and I can say that meeting you
has greatly improved my overall health. With your workouts, fitness tips and diet
I have greatly increases my energy level and attitude. In addition I was
quoted a premium life insurance policy from Met Life. This is reserved only
for athletes. Bodyworks has the best ,most efficient fitness routines. They worked for me and I am certain it will work for
anyone who has the desire to make a change for the better.Brian is truly the greatest personal trainer i have ever met." -Dr Ben Myers DO MPh |

I am a disabled athlete and with Brian's advice and suggestions I have been able to push way beyond my limits to become a two-time World Champion in track & field!" -Jason M.Pisano |
|  | Betty Laughlin of Rumford, Age 86 "After my doctor took a bone density test and found that I was losing bone structure, he had suggested not only an iron supplement, but insisted on exercise. Not knowing where to begin, I took my daughter's suggestion and went to see her personal trainer, Brian Fracassa, for suggestions. I was nervous initially, wondering what he would have me do. Certainly at my age, I couldn't do what many of his younger clients must be doing. Brian was patient and very informative. He took me through a series of simple exercises and I was surprised how easy it was. In a short amount of time, after working with Brian an average of twice per week, I could see a difference. My legs didn't get so tired by day's end and I felt as though I had renewed stamina. I was impressed how he tailored my work-out program to fit my abilities. Now, I look forward to our sessions and feel stronger every day!" -Betty Laughlin |
|  | Cindy Laughlin, CPC President Recruiting Specialists "There I was, like many people do, enjoying an all-inclusive vacation in St. Marten for the holidays. The beach was beautiful, the food delicious and the drinks never stopped coming. The ideal vacation until I returned home to get on a scale and found I was five pounds heavier than I was when I left. Knowing this called for more drastic action than those crazy diets I had tried in the past, I grabbed my latest issue of Rhode Island Monthly magazine in search for the advertisement I had seen many times. Brian Fracassa's advertisement appealed to me since it offered the opportunity to work out in the privacy of your own home. Since it had been years since I had been to a gym, the idea of returning was intimidating. I met with Brian and established a routine of working out with him twice a week and was given a basic diet plan that was easy to follow. It wasn't long before I outgrew the equipment I had in my basement and began to follow him to one of the many gyms he would train at. Now, fast forward nearly twenty years and I am a loyal fan of the Fracassa Fitness Group and of Brian Fracassa. Working out in his private gym, you get the best of both worlds, cutting edge equipment in a private environment, just like your own personal gym. Now as I am pushing 50 years old, I meet with him at least five days a week which enables me to work out various body parts on an alternating basis. I admit, I may "fall off the wagon" on my diet occasionally, but I am at my best when I follow his guidelines of eating small portions every 3 hours. Even if it's a protein shake at my desk, it curbs my hunger and aids in my weight loss. I'd be lost without him! Brian is my inspiration and keeps me on track!" -Cindy Laughlin, CPC |
| Tracey Hennemann "After having three children, I found began training with Stacy. She not only motivated me on an individual basis while training in the gym, but she also provided me with a program that I could follow outside of our training schedule. She incorporated different types of exercises into my routine such as Yoga and Spinning, and continuously introduced new exercises to keep my program stimulating. After just weeks of training with Stacy, I noticed significant changes in my body. My muscles became more defined, I had more strength and energy, and my cardiovascular endurance increased considerably. Stacy is truly an excellent motivator and trainer." -Tracey Hennemann |
| Lars Anderson "Having suffered a back injury followed by unsuccessful surgery, I was losing hope of getting any relief from the resulting pain. After a few unsuccessful stints with different physical therapists, I came across Body Works. Brian met with me, listened to me and developed a program designed for me. His strengthening exercises, especially Contraction Training improved my back. He took tremendous interest in my progress and constantly worked to improve the program so that the exercises benefited me. By following an individualized program – and not some standard issue PT routine – he successfully improved my condition. " -Lars Anderson Cranston, R.I. |
|  | Mark McKenna, Ph.D.Mark McKenna, Ph.D. "I'd been able to lose about 30 lbs before I started working out with Brian but everyone said that the first six weeks of working out made more of a difference in my body than losing the 30 lbs. Since then, I've been able to get my body fat down by over 15% points so that all the muscles and hard work are starting to show. After a year of working out with Brian, I'm the best shape I can ever remember. He keeps you going when you think you've given your all and then gets another repetition out of you. My blood pressure has gone down from borderline high blood pressure 150/100 to 110/70 and have lost 11 inches off my waist. I doubt I could have made it without Brian's enthusiastic support and encouragement." -Mark McKenna, Ph.D. - Cranston, RI |
