Reviews of Start Today Fitness

Leila Rad

Drew is truly amazing. I’ve been training with Drew for over 5 years now and he never disappoints. He is constantly learning and then implementing new ways to build strength and maintain mobility. He is a no bs trainer. I appreciate that he keeps health and fitness simple. Drew listens to his clients and helps them achieve their goals as long as you’re willing to do your part. I have an appreciation for weightlifting and building strength because of him. I would highly recommend Drew to anyone who is new to weightlifting or someone who is wanting to take their workouts to the next level. He knows what he’s doing and will make sure you reach your goals safely. If you’re considering a trainer Drew is the one you want!

Start Today Fitness has been a life saver during this current pandemic. In the beginning I found myself having a hard time with self discipline when it came to eating and exercising and I decided that things needed to change. I came across Start Today Fitness from a friend who said they may be willing to coach and train me virtually. I reached out to Drew and could instantly tell it was going to be a good fit. He did constant 'check in's' with me (sometimes many times during the day) and was extremely helpful when I was questioning my commitment to changing my health lifestyle. Because of Start Today Fitness I continued to stay motivated and lost 25lbs. in 12 weeks!!! If you choose to go with Start Today Fitness, you will not be disappointed as long as you have the motivation to stick with it!!

I’ve been training with Drew since June of 2020. He’s great! I had wanted to work with a trainer for a long time, and finding someone I felt comfortable with was the most important factor for me. As a person with chronic pain issues, I’ve never felt “fit” and I appreciate Drew providing a space for all bodies to access fitness. I also told Drew before we started that I did not want to work on diet, weight loss, or focus on what my body looks like, and it’s really great to work with someone who completely respects and understands that. Working with Drew has become an important part of my overall health!

Drew has been training me for many years, and I’ve watched my strength, overall fitness, and mental health improve immensely and consistently starting from day one. He pushes his clients in a way that is very unique and effective. Drew considers your goals but also gives his own input on what he sees as good goals that will work for you but challenge you. It’s always a dialogue. I recommend Drew to anyone looking to get a comprehensive boost to their fitness journey regardless of what the goals are (ie strength training, weight loss, etc). Start Today Fitness puts in more work than any trainer I’ve ever seen to make sure that each client succeeds.

My husband and I have been working out with Drew at Start Today Fitness for a couple years now. Drew is a fantastic trainer whether you are a beginner or have been strength training for years. Drew will challenge you with every workout. The best part is how encouraging he is when you're struggling on the last few reps of a set. Would give him 6/5 stars if I could.

I’ve been training with Drew for almost 5 years and through many life transitions, and he’s met my health and wellness goals with an approach that considers my mental and physical health. I am stronger, healthier, and happier since training with Start Today. His individualized approach to training has made me - who was previously afraid of the gym - a proud advocate encouraging others to reap the benefit of lifting and functional fitness, especially women. He offers guidance for total body wellness when you ask, including nutrition and sleep, all clearly informed by his commitment to professional development. I admire that Drew is constantly learning and growing in his approach and his capacity to offer diverse and new methods to train clients with a wide range of goals. I highly recommend Start Today Fitness to anyone looking for a trainer who is invested you as a whole person and committed to helping you grow new habits for sustainable lifestyle change.

I have been training with Drew at Start Today Fitness for over two years and have had nothing but a great experience. After essentially not working out for close to 10 years, I was reluctant to start training, however, I was very quickly glad I did and I started to see results quickly as well. Part of the reason I had not worked out previously was schedule and Drew has been very accommodating to work with an ever-changing schedule. In COVID times, Start Today Fitness offers a safe environment to train one on one. Social distancing is practiced and the equipment is sanitized constantly. When I have not been able to make in person training sessions, remote virtual training has been an option as well and worked as a great way to not fall out of the training rhythm. I have also had a very safe training experience with Drew. I've always been concerned about injury when training, but I am no longer concerned by that as Drew is diligent to make sure that all exercises are done properly. I am now lifting a good amount of weight and training with resistance and have never had any strain, discomfort, or injury in the training. Very safe! I also never thought that I would work with a trainer regularly, but I now view it as an essential part of general wellness along with healthy eating and other methods of self care. It is a very wise investment! I could not recommend Start Today Fitness more! If you are considering training with Start Today Fitness, go for it!

I’m so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Drew on my fitness and wellness. I’ve been training with him at Start Today Fitness since 2016, and he’s been a constant, motivating support for my present and future health. Drew brings great knowledge and passion to his work (as someone with a doctorate and a skepticism of fads, I greatly appreciate that he grounds his training practices in research, knowledge of the human body, ongoing education, and solid experience!). Training with Drew has helped me grow stronger, protected me from injury, and taught me ways to prioritize caring for my wellbeing (including attending to sleep and eating habits). He supportively and effectively adjusted my workouts when I was recovering from minor surgery. On top of his skill, Drew is a genuine, caring, and interesting person – which means I enjoy seeing and talking to him even on those days I might feel ambivalent about breaking a sweat! I can't recommend Start Today Fitness enough to anyone serious about maximizing their strength, fitness, and health.

Drew is a true professional. He listens with the purpose of learning about your goals and discusses realistic paths to those goals. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the body. I have many back issues and tended to injure myself while working out on my own. I was doing the wrong exercises for my body. I would then be unable to work out pending re-cooperation and therefore never seemed to make any gains. Drew stopped that cycle and my consistent workouts are far more effective. If I do have something that is hurting, Drew always manages to design a workout around the injury so I do not lose the consistency. My body is now much stronger and healthier in every way and I feel much better about my physical future.

Heather Eller

I have been training with Drew since early 2016, and he has helped me navigate through personal fitness goals including pre-wedding dress goals, pregnancy workouts to stay active, and bouncing back after having twins. I’m not super into working out, and he patiently helps me find things that I enjoy doing. Drew is a great mentor, as well as someone who’s presence I enjoy.

Tyler Jones

I'm always so impressed with Drew's knowledge about the body and health, and how he is able to easily communicate that knowledge to me. He's always bettering himself and implementing new strategies or workouts when they seem useful. I can tell my workout was developed with me in mind, and he always does such a great job of considering what I need, especially in the case of an injury. I always feel encouraged and supported. He's also a pretty cool guy to talk to, which is a huge plus to me.

As a coach, Drew is authentic, genuine, and offers deep expertise on what’s possible for the human body, mind and spirit. Working with Drew, I felt holistically cared for and empowered to build strength in ways I previously never imagined. I cannot recommend Start Today Fitness enough.

Michael Eller

Drew is the most knowledgeable fitness and health coach I’ve ever met. He develops customized weight training exercises for each individual that are safe and effective. He recommends healthy lifestyle eating/drinking habits that help you meet your training goals. I highly recommend Start Today Fitness over training by yourself without a coach.

Leah Jackson

I have trained with Drew for the past five years and have been consistently impressed with his deep knowledge of fitness and nutrition, integrity (he practices what he preaches), and willingness to both meet clients where they are and push them to the next level. He helped me navigate fitness during my pregnancy, in the years afterwards, and was more helpful than my physical therapist in finding exercises to help mitigate lower back pain and strengthen my core. If you are interested in getting fit, don't wait - contact Drew and start today!

I'm returning to Start Today after 1 year off because it's the best! I've been working out with Drew for almost 5 years. My workouts are geared toward strength not cardio which is what I'm looking for and when I feel my best! I really like that he changes it up often so I'm not bored and my muscles don't have time to adjust!

Angelique Theriot

I’ve been training with Start Today Fitness for nearly 3 years, and it’s been a great investment in my overall well-being. Drew is flexible and adaptive, creating what feels like a deeply personalized training experience. I’d recommend Start Today to anyone looking to make a similar investment in themselves at any current level of fitness.

David Kenney

Drew is a great trainer and person. He's extremely knowledgeable, very well-organized, and has a great plan for improving my fitness weekly. He keeps the exercises fresh and fun. I highly recommend Start Today Fitnrss!

Jodi Layton

Start today fitness enables an approach to whole life fitness. Drew is knowledgeable, professional and is very good at motivating you to reach achievable goals (goals that just keep getting better/higher!). He makes it less daunting to commit to a healthier “you.” I’m grateful to be a part of the STF family. Thanks Drew!

Lauren Kenney

I have trained with Drew for over 5 years. I started with back pain from an injury and weak core muscles. Drew has been fantastic at building my strength. He pays attention to form and corrects you to ensure a good workout and avoiding injury.

Alexander Askin

Highly recommended for personal training. Easy to work with and provides clear and concise instructions on what to do and how to do it. Starting seeing results almost immediately. About halfway through program and already 20 lbs down. If you need a personal trainer in NOLA this is who you need to work with.
