Russ Bright

 “I've been training at Blockhead with Sean Block since February 2008 and I can't say enough good things about the place. Since that time I've reduced my body fat by 10%. Sean and his staff have been instrumental in helping me attain my fitness goals. He also has a very fun loving lab. If you’re looking for a trainer who will get you to your goals and make you laugh along the way this is the place.”

Linda Strom

“In a nutshell here's what I love about Blockhead Fitness:  I'm learning correct technique in a very down to earth and friendly environment. Sean's been great about teaching me how to work out with weights, and he motivates me to stay fit.  He's educated and advised me about diet and nutrition.  And he's arranged for me to work out with two other women, so I keep costs low and am able to train with him 3 times a week for a very affordable price.“

Jeff Seaver

“I appreciate how Brent really listened to me from the get-go about what my goals were and what my limitations were physically. He’s really incorporated that throughout the process. Thanks to Brent, I’ve lost twenty pounds, which was one of my goals. Physically—my transformation has been very rewarding! I can tell I’m in much better shape. I had all of my suit pants taken in over an inch. I just feel better all in all. And my progress has been phenomenal!”

Krista Chase

“I have worked out at this gym since March of 2008 and have had nothing but positive results. I have worked out with Sean Block, my personal trainer and the owner. I cannot say enough great things about Blockhead Fitness! There is always ample parking. Sean and the other trainers are nothing but professional and I would HIGHLY recommend Blockhead Fitness to anyone who wants to get in shape! LOVE the place!”

Jeff Hudgins

“Besides being close to my house, reasonable and a nice private environment the main reason I like working out  [at Blockhead Fitness] with Sean is he always seems to be very creative in our workouts, so that it does not become boring.  He seems to bring a breath of fresh air to each session.”

Noeleen McGrath

“I really like Blockhead Fitness. I train with the owner, Sean Block, and I've seen results. Sean pushes you to work out hard and do your best. And even though sometimes I want to kill him (or two days later when the burn really kicks in), I know that it's all worth it. Plus even when Sean is pushing me, he still manages to make me laugh with his silly jokes or funny stories. Beyond that, I really like the laid back vibe at Blockhead Fitness. It's a nice neighborhood gym. People are very friendly, but they're there to work out. It's not a meat market. And maybe best of all-- no membership fees. You just pay your trainer to work out. Fees? Very reasonable. The more sessions you buy-- the bigger the discount. I highly recommend checking out Blockhead Fitness!”

Cindy Lu Hudgins

“I trained with Sean right after I had my first son about one and a half years ago and he is great! Sean is very down to earth and doesn't put up with any complaining.  He has a huge heart and does not set unrealistic expectations.  He is pushy, but not too pushy.”

Stacey Sherwood

“As a person who had not worked out in over twenty years, I thought now might be the best time to get healthy.  Not only had I not worked out, I also had a severe knee injury seven years prior that had scared me off many athletics.  Sean listened and assessed my needs and personally designed a workout regime to strength my entire body while working with my deficient knee.  At this point, my knee is stronger than it has ever been, and I feel healthy and fit.  I am extremely happy with the exercises and programs Sean has designed for me to achieve what I wanted to gain from this experience.  Blockhead makes this a unique and fun hour, so much so that a year later I'm still going and can't believe what I've learned about not only exercising but healthy life choices.  I reached my goal months ago, but enjoy Blockhead Fitness so much I won't quit."
