I have been working with Brian for several years and cannot say enough wonderful things about his programs, his professionalism, his knowledge about fitness AND nutrition and his responsiveness.

Over the last year and a half I’ve trained with Brian on a regular basis. Brian loves fitness and knows how to make every workout different and challenging. He is constantly switching things up and keeping it interesting. Brian is very skilled and knowledgeable, but what I like about Brian is that he is also very down to earth and fun. This is why we have also 'clicked' and become friends outside of our days of training. I HIGHLY recommend Brian for anyone looking for strong nutritional guidance, a great fitness program, and just a darn solid individual to train them! There was a reason he was VOTED BEST OF CHICAGO!

I've been seeing Brian for 4 months now and have lost 16 pounds. Those are results that speak for themselves but there's more to the story. Brian is extremely knowledgeable and educates as well as encourages. He isn't the "in your face" trainer some would expect, but rather someone that encourages and supports as one makes the journey to meet their goals. He's flexible with scheduling and has monthly competitions amongst clients to help keep things fun. Workouts are varied in style and intensity as to keep your body from getting too used to any one particular movement. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is serious about getting into great shape. Be willing to make a commitment and work hard but it will pay off!

Started working out with Brian a few months ago with the goal of losing weight and toning instead of becoming bulky. Brian is a soft spoken but tough trainer which is what I like and needed. The workouts were varied and always were difficult and I was extremely tired afterwards. I’ve worked out for years but now I realize that my workouts are nothing compared to what he provides. Working out different muscles each time helped me lose weight. I ended up going from 200 lbs. to 185 lbs. over a 3-month time period. I am very happy overall and my workouts now are harder than they used to be because of my experience with Brian so my weight is relatively stable now.

Brian is ‘THE GO TO’ for training and nutritional coaching. Since working with Brian I have lost 30 pounds. Not only that but my confidence is up and I look forward to going to the gym now!

Brian knows his stuff. I’ve worked with him for over 7 years with great results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for expert guidance and coaching for weight loss and nutrition.

This guy helped me lose 120 pounds. Had it not been for me finding Brian, I am 100% sure that I would still be 315 pounds right now. Or actually I’d probably be 350 pounds by now. I’ve worked with other fitness coaches and nothing happened.

I've been working out with Brian for over 6 years now and am very happy with the experience and my results. The sessions are customized to me and my fitness goals - it is not one size fits all! Brian has an easy-going style with just the right amount of push to keep you going and motivated. He is very approachable, positive and knowledgeable, and I really appreciate his professionalism and good humor. It's so exciting to be able to do things I never thought I could do and to gain the confidence to try whatever physical challenge Brian comes up with next!

Brian is awesome. He puts together challenging customized workouts and gives positive reinforcement every step of the way. Whether it's in person or through the app style program it's worth every penny. Every time I am on his program I've been able to achieve my goals with his guidance. Can't recommend him enough.

I have been training with Brian three times a week for over three years now. I like his style as he is serious about what he does, but at the same time he has patience and a great personality. This combination makes for a motivating workout. I also like the fact that he offers a varied workout regimen so my body can get ‘shocked” each time we work out. Over the last 7 months I have dropped 20 pounds and lost 7% body fat! If you are in the market for a personal trainer or fitness coach, look no further!

I love my Personal Trainer. I am VERY particular about Trainers. I always pick one by watching them work with their clients. I assess the results of their clients and their own personal results. A Trainer needs to look like a trainer. Brian is one of the best. He is not a chatter box. He is quietly effective and he means business. He focuses on your form, pushes you tirelessly, changes the workout constantly to confuse my body, and has helped me become more stable (I used to trip and fall all the time, weird, I know).

My results have been the best testimonial. I have lost 30 pounds and 6 inches around the waist with Brian.

My whole body has trimmed down. My whole goal was to have a more lean body, not buff or overly muscular. He tailors my workout for my needs. It is funny, because I get asked about my Trainer every few days. He truly is the best. I can’t say enough things about him. I hired Brian 3 years ago. It’s one of the best gifts I have given to myself. I go to him 3 times a week, which I recommend.

This guy is really the best. He has motivated me to work out, something I never did before. I’ve been with him for nearly 5 years, through my single days, he kept me healthy during my pregnancy, and now he’s whipped me back into shape and helped me take off my 40 lbs. pregnancy weight gain less than a year since Riley was born. I cannot recommend him enough.

Brian is my fitness coach and is assisting me to reach my goals for increased strength, toning, and greater fitness, along with nutrition advice. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to loose weight, tone up, look and feel great, and increase their fitness level. In 20 sessions with Brian over 8 weeks I have seen wonderful results with lost inches and many compliments!

After working with several online coaches over the years, I was extremely fortunate to start working with Brian Donovan. Brian truly listened to my fitness goals and developed a very customized program for me. His nutrition advice was invaluable and in combination with the exercise regime, I was able to make quick and noticeable results. In fact, many friends commented on the changes they saw which validated that I had finally found the right coach. Brian and I set monthly goals and he helped with both exercise and nutrition modifications to help me reach these goals.

When I started with Brian, my body fat was around 18%. With his program, I was able to bring that down to as low as 11% and also add a significant amount of muscle. I have been very impressed with Brian’s passion for his clients and his work. He is very knowledgeable and eager to help solve any issue you may be addressing on your way to achieving your fitness goals. Working with Brian has been the best investment, I’ve ever made.
