Joe Clark - Dynamic Personal Trainer in Chestnut Hill

I’ve been working with Joe for nearly 4 years now. I started with the simple goal of adding strength training for preventative health, but Joe has helped me define some specific goals around maintaining posture and stability, and improving my running times. He has helped me rehabilitate a chronic shoulder injury, and also helped me appreciate the importance of warmup, cool down, and stretching. Joe is exceptionally positive and keeps workouts fun while pushing me to improve. His joyful approach to life is contagious, and I often find myself laughing during a session that would otherwise make me groan. On a practical level despite being very busy he is extremely responsive and flexible. Amazing!!

The first thing you have to know about Joe Clark is that he is just an outstanding human being. Who Joe is drives everything that he does. Joe brings passion, enthusiasm, professionalism, and knowledge to every workout. He even throws a little humor in there too! You’ll never see a “one size fits all” workout with Joe. He is an expert in exercise physiology and nutrition and is dedicated to designing an individualized plan that addresses each client’s health concerns and fitness goals. Joe pays particular attention to ensuring his clients use proper form to avoid injury. He designs progressive, varied workout plans for ‘gym days’ and generates plans to help clients continue to safely pursue their goals on ‘off’ days. That is just one small example of how Joe goes above and beyond for his clients. Working with Joe is rewarding and enjoyable, so enjoyable in fact, that you won’t even notice he has you doing a plank! There aren’t enough stars on the ratings scale to communicate what an amazing personal trainer Joe Clark is. I highly recommend him.

Joe Clark is a superlative personal trainer! I had observed his training of many clients, at very varied levels of workout experience. I knew that I wanted to train with him, when I felt ready to do so. I have been an academic leader all my life, evaluating faculty expertise. Joe is an excellent teacher! He has a thorough and deep understanding of physiology, anatomy, and physical health. He has not only made me stronger, and more resilient. He has greatly improved my balance, equilibrium, and mobility. He is thoughtful in his evaluation of past practice, implementing new challenges to my routine regimen. Moreover, Joe is charismatic, innovative, and fun when he engages his clients in physical activity. Truly, he sees you, devoting his entire attention in personal sessions, exclusively addressing your unique strengths and self-imposed impediments, physically, emotionally, and psychologically. He encourages you to progress at a healthy pace, by his own example, and by inspiring you to challenge yourself to achieve your personal best. I have valued my time with Joe Clark immensely. I know you will, too! Neil Donohoe

I have been working out with Joe for a better part 5 years and he helped get in the best shape of my life. He even helped me get in good enough shape to become a starter when I played football. He is also a great communicator. I would even call him my therapist because when I am going through hard times, I always tell him my problems and he gives me better advice than anyone could. He is a great trainer and an even better friend.

I’ve been training with Joe for over 4 years. Not only is he the best trainer - hands down - he is attentive, caring and is fully invested in your health and outcome. Where other people can fail in their training and personal goals, Joe is an elite trainer that is focused on your personal success. An expert in muscle physiology and technique, his method has always geared on how you best perform. He makes you the best you. Joe is unparalleled when it comes to personal trainers.

Joe deserves all of the credit in the world for his effort and attention to his clients. I was a former division I athlete who had knee and shoulder injuries, I went to multiple PT specialists and they did a good job of providing a minor band-aid recovery but I was never healed. Joe had the patience and knowledge to help strengthen muscle groups and help with flexibility so that I am able to workout and play sports again without pain. He pushed me to work harder but also kept me positive and working toward a goal. I didn’t think I would ever have been able to run, jump, twist and whip my arms around without constant pain and I truly believe because of Joe’s care I’m able to be empowered to do all of the sports I love without pain. Thank you, Geoff

Joe is the best personal trainer. He is very professional, very knowledgeable and experienced. I trust him to train me safely so I can reach my specific goals free of injuries. His sessions are of high quality and full of joy and very pleasant. I have been working with Joe now over one year. I can report that during that time I made a lot of progress and joe is very careful to help me accomplish my training goals. My initial workout goal was to be able to run again 10K pain-free. Joe performed his analysis, designed a workout plan and within a few weeks of training I was able to run again my favorite 10K running. Not only once, but even twice a week! Then we designed additional training goals associated with improved core strength, posture, weight control and increased endurance. I feel that I am making progress every week and see results as Joe is helping me to achieve my goals again and again with great advice, kindness, and endless dedication.

Joe is the best trainer I have ever had, period. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about getting results. He works very hard and understands how to keep his clients motivated. Working with him during the last few years has had a huge impact on my health and well-being. I haven’t felt this good in the last 20 years! I would give him an A+++ rating, no question!
