After 6 weeks of working with Blue Chip Fit's Circuit
Program, Core
workouts, and stretching routines I now have a strong,
flexible,
injury-free foundation to pursue the activities I
always wanted to do! I am 43 years old and haven't
been this solid since I was in my early twenties.
I can now play soccer and shoot baskets with my kids
without huffing
and puffing or hurting myself. I am now ready to
pursue one of my life
goals, to learn a martial art. I am confident that I
am ready to start
without hurting myself or being embarrassed.
Its hard to believe that its only been 6 weeks because
the results have been fantastic. I am stronger, more
flexible, and I have the endurance that I haven't had
in years. I have tried to get in shape on my own for
years, but I always injured myself, whether from over
doing it or poor technique. Dan always reminded me to
be patient and that it is not how much I can do today,
but how much I will be able to do in 2 months that
counts. He cautioned me to back off if I felt a muscle
tweak somewhere and not ignore it. Patience worked! I
am strong and injury free, and can now pursue heavier
weights, harder exercises, and even sports again!
Thanks Dan!

When I first met Dan my fitness objectives were simple: get in shape and lose weight. I had no idea how to go about doing this because a year ago, I fractured my back in two places and had to give up running, which was pretty much my only form of exercise. Dan showed me that there is so much more to working out than just cardio. Now after several months of working out with Dan, I can do everything that I used to and so much more. Working out with Dan is always one of my favorite parts of the day. He always keeps me motivated by making our workout sessions fun, interesting and unique. Dan somehow always knows how much I can handle and pushes me to my limits. When I started I could barely do a push up. Now I can easily do them. Plus, Dan sometimes has me do them "Rocky Balboa" style. Even though they're difficult, there's a nice satisfaction in doing them. The results of my workouts with Dan were far beyond my expectations. Without even realizing it, I had dropped two clothing sizes. I've also received some very positive feedback from others - and have surprised many with my new-found strength. In fact, while working out, we were asked by another trainer and client what sport I am training for. They were so impressed by my weight training that they assumed that I must be a pro-athlete of some form. Also, it was always a lot of fun to use the weight lifting machines and then watch men use them after me and have to bump the weight way down. I never would have known that I was capable of any of this if it weren't for Dan. Dan helped me to realize my abilities and potential. I strongly recommend that everyone serious about getting in shape - no matter what the goals or starting point - workout with Dan. And just know that when he gets that twinkle in his eyes and that grin, you're in for a new and interesting exercise.

I am a disciplined distance runner who eats well, yet found myself experiencing 'weight creep'. Dan's thoughtful appraisal of my exercise regimen resulted in a rebalancing of my aerobic and anaerobic program. This in turn resulted in the loss of 10 unwanted pounds in 60 days. I feel better and more fit than ever!

At 63, I'm retired from full-time work but I still do a lot of different activities that require high energy and I want to feel good. When I started working with Dan I had a bad right shoulder that I had separated years ago playing touch football. Also, I had soreness in my lower back. Now, I feel the best I've felt in years. Dan always asks questions about how I'm feeling. I have a different complaint every day-and he changes the movements as needed. I know I'll keep training with him because he helps me maintain strength and avoid pain and injury.

I owe huge thanks to Dan Healy, founder of Blue Chip Fit. In nearly ten years of training with Dan I've achieved an amazing transformation in physical strength, appearance, and self-confidence. Through his hard work and endless positive support Dan has literally changed my physique. I was never strong as a young man, and becoming strong into my forties has given me a new sense of vigor that has changed my life in such a positive way. I would recommend Dan to anyone who would like the very best in personal training.
-Keith, Principal Viola, Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra
My wellness and health have really improved in various ways since I began training with Dan Healy. He knows just how far to push me during sessions and he always finds a way to make the intense workouts more interesting. I love the boxing we do and the functional training drills as much as the strength training approach he uses. But, most of all, I really love the way I feel. I've lost 8 lbs. from an already lean frame and have increased muscle. Now, I can't help but notice that I also just look better. Thanks a lot Dan and keep this going,

I worked with a trainer from my health club (at the time) for five years. He was a nice guy but I never got stronger and nothing seemed to change in my body. In 7 weeks, Dan has changed my body. I am tighter, leaner and feeling great. Dan has me lifting weights I never would have imagined-more than double the pounds that I used to work with. I am doing exercises that are extremely difficult but I love it! I wish I had found him 5 years ago.

The balance of strength training and stretching exercises helps keep me energized and fit at the age of 45.
-Tisa, Radio Marketing Executive
I am 65 years old and recently joined a new "state of the art" health club. A supposed perk of joining the club included two free personal training sessions. I was excited by this prospect until I met the club trainer. I realized that the "free" sessions consisted of the briefest description of the machines in the club. When I declined the offer to purchase a package of training sessions, he didn't want to waste any more time with me. So, I was left with no real understanding of the clubs machines. Finally, I asked Dan to come to my club and show me how to work with the machines. It took Dan's patience to show me the different options that the Club's machines offered. Dan showed me several exercises at the club and now I feel more confident about going there on my own. All along, the main reason that I wanted to work with a personal trainer was to learn how to train myself so that I could work independently. However, I eventually hired Dan to work with me at my home and that has complimented how I am able to exercise on my own (at the club and elsewhere). My experience has been collaborative but directed. I run a business that requires a great deal of physical activity on my part. Though I am already relatively fit, I decided to work with Dan because he was willing to listen to what I needed and help me in ways that no other trainer has done before. I know that I will have to continue to work at being fit into my seventies and eighties. Importantly, I know that I can count on Dan and Blue Chip Fit to continue my fitness education as needed.
-Mary Ann, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Business owner
I've been working with Dan for several months and have had excellent results in that time. He enjoys his job and it shows. On the days when I didn't feel like working out, his positive attitude, creativity and energy pulled me through. His knowledge allowed him to carefully monitor our sessions and helped me rehabilitate a prior injury while improving my overall fitness. I didn't think I could be as strong as I am now or would be able to have as much stamina - and I am definitely looking forward to continuing to train with Dan.
