“At age 69, I decided that I was going pursue my lifelong dream to run the New York City Marathon. I had just retired. The ‘fickle finger of fate’ had thrown Joel “JOEFITNESS” Matalon-Personal Trainer my way to coach and train me for the event. He educated me on running, weight training, nutrition, flexibility and proper REST. As a team we overcame some unanticipated obstacles. Everything worked. I finished in 5 hours 55 minutes and 36 seconds! And I felt elated!!(Still do) JOEFITNESS made the difference of my fulfilling my vision.”
Dr. Sidney Nearenberg, 73

“I have known Joel for the past fifteen years and during that time I have come to count on him for his training methodology, nutritional counseling, and his ability to help me break through training-related plateaus. Joel is not only a wonderful resource, in fact his knowledge of personal training surpasses that of anyone I know - but he is also the most motivating person I’ve ever met. His love for training and working with people is only surpassed by his high-energy and enthusiasm. He makes failure impossible!”
Nat Cooper, 33, Vice President-Banking, Amateur Bodybuilder
“Joel ‘JOEFITNESS’ Matalon’s Flexibility program should be patented. His routine has helped me rid myself of sciatica after the first 2 sessions. This got me ready to compete in my first 1/2 Ironman in Panama City, Fl and my first Ironman distance triathlon in Lake Placid, NY. Joefitness is now preparing me for my next Ironman in Korea 2005. Thank you, Joefitness!!”

“I’ve been so pleased with the results I am developing with the assistance of Joel! My posture has improved, I’m developing muscles I never saw before and I actually have a beginning “six pack”! I’m thrilled! My wedding is in October and I’m so excited to wear my strapless dress. Thanks Joel for your ongoing support, guidance and never ending push to succeed!”

“It is a pleasure to recommend Joel Matalon to you as a superb trainer and a fine person. I have been with Joel for more than three years. He was recommended to me by my prior trainer from among a dozen or more trainers in my facility. Joel has a wonderful reputation and is clearly regarded as the best, and I have found him to be so. He has mastered the art of fitness training and keyed our work to my particular strengths and weaknesses. He is an exemplary teacher - intelligent, thoughtful, articulate, well organized and resourceful as well as kind and considerate. Thus, when, from an excess of enthusiasm I injured my shoulder (he was not with me at the time) he was able to modify our work during the course of the healing process - which for a 70 year old is much slower than I would like. His keen sense of humor also helped us considerably. All of these factors have led me to recommend him to many friends and I recommend him to you.”
Dr. Henry Weinstein, 70, Psychiatrist
“I really love working out with JOEFITNESS because he always brings something new to the workout. He keeps current with all the new fitness trends and stays on top of new ideas for achieving his clients’ fitness objectives. It’s always fun to see what exercise we each workout. And, I see the results.”
Stacey Gillis Weber, 41, Professional Mom
“I have benefited enormously from my fitness training with Joel Matalon. He is serious about giving me a really good and thorough workout, and I feel invigorated afterwards. Amazingly, the workout is very enjoyable, since Joel has a wonderful manner — is both serious and FUNNY at the same time. So in between some groans, there is also delighter laughter. Although I am a “senior”, my workouts with Joel make me feel young and more fit for my hobby of ballroom dancing.”
