TESTIMONIALS
ROBERT PATRICK
"I have trained with "TBC" for 8 years. I started training right after I shot "Walk the Line" a film where I put on an extra 30 pounds for my character. Chuck helped me lose the weight and sculpt my physique into what I needed for my next character. Chuck helps me maintain my stamina and interest in working out! It's a great way to start the day!"-Robert Patrick

KATE CHRISTINE HENSLEY
Chuck always encourages me to try new and more difficult exercises, and support throughout my journey. He believes in me. Chuck has a keen ability to listen, and understand your body along with your feelings. He watches and guides you during your workout to ensure safety and accuracy. My time is very precious as a mother and I appreciate the fact that Chuck maintains a professional atmosphere and concentrates his full attention on you so that you have a full workout in the time frame you wish. Another wonder quality about Chuck Norman is his knowledge of how the body works. When I would ask a question, he articulately explains why and for what reason you are doing each and every exercise. I have developed a deep respect for Chuck and am so grateful that he was put into my life. This might sound cliche, but owe my confidence and happiness to Chuck Norman." -Kate Christine Hensley
KAREN BOSSART
"My entire life has been filled with competitive sports. I’ve played soccer, basketball and softball all throughout my childhood and through high school. My competitive nature and need for a physical challenge brought me to Chuck in the fall of 2010. I fell in love with his training program because every time I came in for a workout Chuck knew exactly how to push my intensity spirit to a whole new level. I don’t know how he does it, but ever time I go in to train with Chuck it’s like the first time all over again. The Gift of energy and enthusiasm he has for training is just unbelievable."

BRIAN PERRY
"I have known Chuck for over 4 years now. Upon Meeting Chuck, he began to motivate me and encourage me to not only meet my physical goals, but to go after anything that I desired professionally in my life and beyond. Not only did this help me physically, but his words of motivation helped me to achieve goals that I did not think were obtainable.
He makes sure that I do not get “hot headed” with certain situations and keeps me grounded with his positive energy and positive outlook on life. No matter how hard times got with me, Chuck pushes me on to overcome many barriers. I am more than proud to know Charles; I thank God for sending me a big brother who honestly cares about not only my success and well being, but that of others as well." -Brian Perry

"After playing with the Los Angeles Raiders at more than 430lbs, I sought the guidance of my lifelong friend, Chuck Norman to help me transform my life. With his knowledge, I was able to lose 250 lbs. with no loose skin. I strengthened my core, intensify my explosion work, and he helped to understand that conditioning is the foundation of everything. He always sets realistic goals with visible results. And provided the mental support needed to transform and change old habits. Chuck has always been a reliable friend who is greatly responsible for helping me become healthier and productive."

CLAUDIA MCNEFF
"Chuck has been my personal trainer on and off for nine years, pre and post baby. I have several back problems and was unable to work out on my own following the birth of my first child. Chuck designed a program which permits me to work out at a very high level of intensity without letting my injuries get in the way. He motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Chuck's perfect combination of diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs & challenging yet achievable goal setting. His easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. I have incredible energy, my balance and flexibility have improved \immensely and I've got great new muscles. Thank you Chuck, you are the best!" -Claudia McNeff
