Testimonials
I had belonged to normal gyms but I could never keep a good routine. The results I've enjoyed at Solid Body have exceeded my expectations. The workouts are challenging and I dropped inches in my waist within weeks, just as Jay said I would. I feel better in every way and will never stop going to Solid Body.

Jason designs the workouts to be about 30 - 40 minutes so I have no excuse not to make it to the gym, even if I go on my lunch break. Since training with Jason I have become much stronger and lost the weight I was having a hard time losing on my own. I'm looking forward to continuing to work toward my best shape!

After herniating a disc in my back, I was fearful of injury. Since I started training with Jay, I feel great! Jay has a positive attitude and always answers my questions. He is very attentive and motivating, always focused on my form and helping me improve. During the time I spend with Jay, I accomplish so much. Training with him is the best thing I have ever done for my health! Jay is the best!

I have already lost 4 sizes (and still going), plus am close to college-athlete shape again. I couldn't have done it without Solid Body Fitness. The workouts are never boring. My workouts are even tailored to assist in my injury rehab. Jason and his team at Solid Body have offered me not only the skills, but the encouragement to reach my goals!

I have been a member of Solid Body's Boot Camp class since the end of January, 2009. I had been working out for 20+ years as a member in a gym before that. I find that I typically lack self-motivation due to boredom with my usual routine at the gym. When a friend suggested the Solid Body Fitness Boot Camp class, I suspected it would be just what I needed to motivate me. After attending the trial session, I was very impressed by the class. There is no boredom and every day is a new and unique workout challenge. This exceeded my expectations of the class. Daniela and Heather are knowledgeable and motivating as are my fellow class members. My energy level has increased dramatically and I'd judge my overall level of fitness to be better than it's been in the last 5 years. The class has helped improve my running time significantly and has also helped in managing my personal level of stress. Thank you!

Before I started at Solid Body Fitness my health was headed in the wrong direction. Plus, with a family history of Heart Disease and Diabetes I knew that I'd be destined for that fate if I didn't do something. Thank God I found Daniela and Jason! My first day there three months ago I couldn't jog for more than .25 miles. Since then I've started to run 5k's, I've lost 18.6 pounds, 7.5" from my waist, 2.5" from my hips and I feel amazing. Solid Body Fitness isn't just a fitness facility. It is a place where you'll receive motivation, encouragement, and a healthier you! Joining was the best gift I ever gave myself.

I have always been going to the gym and working out on my own or with a personal trainer. After I had my baby, it became very important me to take the time to keep up my work out routine and try to get back into the shape I was in before I was pregnant.
I started coming to Solid Body Fitness 6 weeks after I had the baby and knew Jay and Daniela would be the ones to get me to where I wanted to be. There were days when I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the workout, but with their encouragement, I always got through.
Over the months, I have not only lost weight and body fat, I'm back to where I was months before I was pregnant, can see myself getting firmer and tighter, and can feel how much stronger I have gotten. The notebook that Jay and Daniela use to track progress is a great way to see your results on paper, not just a scale.
Although the workouts are sometimes grueling, I enjoy every second of them and feel great once they're over! Its a great environment to train in - you get the one-on-one focus of the trainers and the camaraderie of a group at the same time.

A few months ago I decide that it was time to change my life and start living a healthier life-style. I had been a smoker on and off for years and had made up my mind to quit for good this time. Weight gain had always been an issue while trying to quit, so this time I decided to try dieting and exercising first.
I joined Solid Body Fit at the beginning of May and two weeks later quit smoking. To my surprise, I ran and completed a 5K road race just two weeks later. Jason and Daniela gave me the personal encouragement that you cannot find at your average local gym. Their workouts are always different and challenging and always about positive motivation.
Thanks to Daniela and Jason I am healthier, stronger, and have more energy than I've had in years. My doctor was amazed that not only did I quit smoking 5 months ago, but was able to drop several inches and 2 dress sizes as well.

Daniela approaches her training in a professional and efficient way which results in success. She has taught us the importance of strength training and overall fitness. Her approach to exercise emphasizes correct form and body position; I've gained strength, endurance, and flexibility as a direct result of this method. Daniela keeps us challenged and motivated to reach our goals. She has raised our health and fitness to new levels.

It took me years to finally get a membership to a gym, never mind hiring a personal trainer. I have always been skeptical about getting a personal trainer- stories of how mean and unsympathetic they are, are they going to badger me or somehow find me and drag me to the gym if I don't show up for a few sessions. Am I going to dread it each time I have an appointment? All I can say is...not with Jay. After about a year at the gym just doing the treadmill and weights, I started going to spinning class once a week, hoping to drop some weight and lose some inches that I couldn't seem to lose. When I still didn't have the results I wanted, I spoke with Jay's business partner at the time and originally signed up for 8 sessions (he tried his best to get me to sign up for more, but hey, I said I was skeptical). He said that this guy Jay would be my trainer, and that I was going to really enjoy working with him and how nice he was, etc... Yeah, right—I'll be the judge of that.
I was still skeptical when I first met Jay. He wanted to weigh me, I didn't want to be weighed. He wanted to check my BMI, I didn't want to do that. Since it was my first session, he wanted to do a series of exercises to see what kind of condition I was in, I didn't want to do that either. Needless to say, I did all those things because Jay was so nice about it and explained that he had to in order to properly train me and to monitor my progress. And no, he did not tell me how much I weighed!
After the initial 8 sessions I signed up for the full 24 sessions. I saw results very quickly and friends, family, and co-workers did as well. I've had many compliments come my way. Jay's been training me for about 14 months now and I'm probably in the best condition I've ever been in. I went back to spinning class a couple of months ago and didn't even break a sweat. Jay does not fit any stereotypes that we all have of the "personal trainer". I look forward to my sessions with Jay—he is very personable and is genuinely interested in you as a person in addition to being a client. Jay...thank you!

I started working with Jay 3 years ago. My goal was to build muscle, burn fat, and strengthen my bones. Jay has helped me tremendously, in no time at all I feel a million times better. Jay is very understanding, patient, and explains everything to me. I recommend him very highly

Jason has a new gym of his own, currently finishing details of decor, but with everything set up and ready to whip me into shape! He also has a staff working at his new location (63 Sprague St., Dedham)
I haven't ever truly enjoyed working out, I am by no means a gym rat, but working with Jason is surprisingly pleasant. Receiving personal attention, a tailored routine, and firm support is a HUGE help for someone whose largest goal is for my stomach to not hang over my belt!
My goals are simple, but my trainers are superb! Solid Body Fitness is well worth the investment (as it is truly an investment in myself).

I have been working with Jay for a little over 2 months now. In that period of time I am seeing improvements in myself, my muscles are getting leaner. I have been going to a gym for the past 20 years. So I am no stranger to aerobics and weight training. He is knowledgeable and very professional in his approach to each session. The workout Jay gives you in each of his sessions is intense and specific to each area of your body. He looks for input from his clients in order to individualizes their workout to maximize the results.

One of the best things I have ever done is to hire Jay Zagami as my personal Trainer. Although I have been working in the fitness industry since 1987, Teaching aerobic classes and working out with weights: what happened to my body last summer was scary!! Hitting middle age seemed to open the floodgates to the aging process. I no longer had a waist, and pretty much felt like the rest of my body had gone south as well!! I decided I'd had enough and was going to get my body back. That's when I signed up for 8 personal training sessions, I knew he was an "elite" trainer, and in just a few weeks I was seeing the results I so wanted. Here I am several sessions later, looking and feeling better than I did when I was 25! I turned 47 years old recently, and feel proud to spend this summer in a bikini, and not "hiding" in my usual one-piece swimsuit.
I've know a lot of trainers in my life, all of which are good but trust me Jay Zagami is a "Hidden Jewel"! I always joke with him, that he's not a personal trainer - he's a personal training God. His continued knowledge and professionalism amaze me each time I meet with him. Thank You Jay - you are the best.
