"Having had to stop running after 28 years due to knee problems and having become insulin resistant, my doctor suggested weight training. Although in good physical condition except for the threat of diabetes, I began working with Trainer Bob. Within six months I had lost 18 lbs and 2-3 inches in the waist. Seven years later I still weight train with him weekly as well as twice weekly on my own. I have not been insulin resistant since the first year of training. My calculated "Real Age" is now 58."               —Larry Woodling, 74 year old male, Carmel, IN
				"Trainer Bob has been more than just a personal trainer. More than just a nutrition expert. More than just health guru. He has been a life coach! He has an uncanny ability to discern how stress in your personal and professional life can impact your health, and then is able to offer solutions and guidance for improving your life. He is a motivator, and true professional, and now a good friend. I would highly recommend Trainer Bob to anyone looking to be healthier in body, in mind, in life!"

				"It has been some thirty five years that I have engaged a personal trainer. In that time and with extensive experience with a number of them, Bob stands out among them all. His training as an engineer provides him with a foundation of understanding of body dynamics that very few trainers bring to their profession. Moreover, his individualized regimen is tailored to the personal needs of his client. He is comprehensive in and thorough in his approach. In our over five years together and among other things, I have achieved weight loss, the completion of several mini-triathlons as well as two nature trail runs with increased body strength."                                           —David Woll, Carmel, IN
				"I would highly recommend Bob Fields as a personal trainer. I joined Cardinal Fitness but wasn't using the facility much because I didn't know how to use the equipment properly. I'm a little older than the average member and felt intimidated by these unfamiliar machines. After working with Bob, I feel very comfortable with all the equipment. And as a bonus, Bob is a nice, friendly guy and easy to work with."                                                                                               —Sandra R., Carmel, IN
				"One of Trainer Bob’s specialties is tailoring diet and exercise to the abilities and goals of people with challenges such as back pain, bad knees, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and other difficulties. As you progress and run into setbacks—and you will, if you’re serious about what you’re doing—Bob helps you adjust, rehab, and rethink. His contagious positive attitude and sense of humor keep the workout from feeling like a workload. He offers as much help for the head as he does for the body. No matter what shape your body and attitude toward diet and exercise are in today, they’ll be in much better shape after some time with Bob Fields. The more you want to learn, the more he has to offer."                                                 —Lisa Wheeler, writer and editor, client since 2006
				"I have been a client of Bob Fields for several years. With his encouragement and knowledge, I truly believe my personalized exercise regimen coupled with his nutrition advice has been instrumental for me avoiding a major cardiac event. Bob is focused on the whole “you”. He is interested in what’s going on in your life and how this may affect you from a stress standpoint. He motivates and helps you strategize to knock down barriers in your daily routine that may sabotage your exercise program and fitness goals. He is the quintessential personal trainer, totally focused on your health and wellness."                                                                                   —Bill Mason, M.D., Carmel, IN
				"I was referred to Bob Fields, aka, Trainer Bob, several years ago by an orthopedic surgeon. I have had knee and shoulder problems from years of self-coached athletics that resulted in multiple surgeries. My physician recommended Trainer Bob to help with a post rehab program. Bob was able to explain the hows and whys of exercise to prevent future injuries. Furthermore, he targeted my short and long term goals and developed a training program that has put me in the best shape of my life! As a side note, I have now completed several sprint triathlons and a mini marathon and have been injury and surgery free for over six years! Thanks Trainer Bob for keeping me in one piece."                                                                  —Jeff Horwitz, current client since 2003
				"I've recently started referring some of my patients to Bob Fields for exercise and nutritional counseling. I like to used Bob because of his multifaceted approach. He can help with strength, endurance, and the flexibility component of training as well as provide dietary advice for improving weight loss. Additionally, with his extensive 30 plus year training background, he's a nice fit for helping patients with specific issues, such as exercises for post rehabilitation of common musculoskeletal pains and limited range of motion."                                                                                               —Bob Turnquist, M.D.
				"I have had the opportunity to work with Bob Fields for nearly 10 years. Bob has helped many of my patients initiate an individualized wellness program focused on transforming their entire lifestyle. Patients receive education on nutritional issues, customized exercise prescriptions, and work to identify and eliminate barriers to success. I especially rely on Bob's expertise for patients with complicated chronic disease states such as diabetes mellitus. His understanding of the pathophysiology of these conditions allow us to work together to design medically safe and successful programs for each patient. Bob also works closely with me providing regular progress reports as well as identifying and forwarding any health concerns that may come to his attention during his interaction with my patients. In my opinion, Bob Fields serves as the benchmark a client interested in wellness coaching should judge other providers." Sincerely,                                                                                                    —Kevin Coss, M.D.
				"I have known Bob both personally and professionally for over 20 years. He has served as a personal trainer/exercise specialist for many of my patients over the last 20 years. " Trainer Bob" is an excellent personal trainer who consistently exceeds the expectations of myself and my patients. He takes a personal interest in all his clients. Never have they complained of feeling like a number. He will conduct a thorough health investigation and measure all relevant body parameters and then make both short and long terms goals. He is very experienced working with medically complicated patients which has allowed me to feel comfortable sending him my most challenging patients. This includes patients recently undergoing bariatric surgery and patients with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. He treats my patients fairly and professionally, and I recommend him as a highly qualified personal trainer without reservation."                                                                                           —Clifford W. Fetters, M.D.
				“I first met with Trainer Bob in 2001. I was interested in getting myself into better shape as our SWAT team had begun competing in SWAT competitions with teams from around the world. We had to complete a specific obstacle course each year to stay on the team. I always completed it, but I was toward the bottom in times. I wanted to be much better. In four short months, I went from one of the bottom times to the third highest. I was setting personal bests. I went on to compete for our team the next four years. We were the Indiana state champions in 2003 and runner-ups in 2004. We went on to compete in the World SWAT Challenge, which was televised on ESPN 2 in 2005. I could not have accomplished these feats without the direction and coaching of Trainer Bob. Trainer Bob gave me specific exercises to address my weaknesses. He took the time to address my nutritional education as well as my workouts. I still use everything he taught me in my workouts today. Whether you need a full time life coach or just a little tweaking of your current exercise program, Trainer Bob is the answer.”                    —Sgt. Adam Miller, SWAT Team member, Carmel Police Department
				"I was in bad shape. My doctor had just informed me that I was morbidly obese, had fatty liver issues, was at the beginning stages of insulin resistance, and that if I did not do something that within five years I would probably have a full blown case of Type I Diabetes. This was especially relevant since I have a family history of diabetes on both sides of my family. I did not know what to do. My physician recommended I see Bob Fields (aka “Trainer Bob”) for a much needed regime on exercise and diet. Furthermore, I had just received in the mail a notice of my 35th year high school reunion in about nine months. The doctor’s statements and the upcoming reunion provided the incentive I needed. I immediately contacted Trainer Bob. He put me on a customized exercise plan that burned fat and built muscle. He also provided me a diet to get rid of fat. Within five months I lost forty pounds, greatly lowered my percent body fat, got rid of the fatty liver issues, and all my blood chemistry problems such as insulin and sugar problems disappeared!!!! I became much stronger. As a matter of fact, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. Bob is an expert in both the physics and physiology of exercise. He is personable but persistently pushing you to achieve your goals. The bottom line is you cannot go wrong if you work with Trainer Bob. He also helps you with the mental aspects of your life as your fitness improves so you do not regress and fall into the weight loss/gain/loss cycle. I can do nothing but recommend Trainer Bob and encourage you to go for it under the leadership of Bob Fields."                            —Respectfully submitted, Michael H. Stikeleather, Carmel, IN
				"I felt the need to share a few words about the good nature and competency of Trainer Bob. I recently left the Real Estate business in pursuit of my dream to work in the fitness industry. This would not have happened had I not met Trainer Bob in November of 2009. This is how it happened. Having played football until I was 30 years old, I have worked out for the better portion of my life. I believe I began lifting weights when I was 12 and I am still and avid lifter at the spry age of 43. Trainer Bob has clients where I workout and I would observe his techniques and demeanor when we were there at the same time. After much contemplation of wanting to start my own business in the fitness industry I approached Trainer Bob with some questions. Wow, was I surprised with his willingness and enthusiasm to help me. He offered me what I have to believe most trainers would not. FREE on the job training. Are you kidding me? Right then and there I knew that was my shove to start doing what I always wanted to do. I immediately started mirroring Trainer Bob and gained years of knowledge in just a few short months. He is a wealth of knowledge and where most strength lies in training young athletes and sports itself, Trainer Bob is the master of training people with specific need and/or medical problems. Six months later I find myself running a successful and respected business of my own thanks to this man. Most trainers think they have the secret recipe when it comes to exercise programs and go to great lengths to make sure no one steals it from them. Give me a break! The fact is you can have the best program in the world but if you don't know how to treat people or lack personality you won't have any clients. If everyone approached our industry like Trainer Bob we would be a healthier society for it. In my opinion Trainer Bob is not only changing the face of fitness he is changing humanity. Heart felt thanks to you trainer Bob!"                                                                —Dale Speckman   Excel Athletic, LLC
