After training with Derek Leite of NYC Fitness Experts, Sherri Savad reflects on the impact the customized program had on her life.

I began working out with Derek five-months after I had my third child.  At 41, I was desperately afraid that my body wasn't going to recover and I would not be able to fit into my "skinny" jeans again, even my "fat" jeans.  Derek believed otherwise.  From the start, he made me feel good about my body (just as it was) while providing me with confidence that I would see results. 

In less than a year, I'm not only able to wear my "skinny" jeans but am now two-sizes smaller.  I am leaner, stronger and, for the first-time ever, I can do 7 pull-ups on my own.  I love working out with Derek.  He's extremely knowledgeable, motivating, supportive and passionate about what he does and his clients. What sets Derek apart from other trainers is that he truly cares; he's in it for you. He is my #1 fan, my coach, and my friend.

After training with Derek Leite of NYC Fitness Experts, Bruce Danoff reflects on the impact the customized program had on his life.

After realizing that at 54 years old the only way I could lose weight and get fit would be to find a personal
trainer and get into a regular exercise program.  I was lucky to have found Derek, who not only
motivates me but also makes my time at the gym enjoyable.

Derek is very caring person and sensitive to the fact that I am the biggest klutz in the world. I no longer feel
intimated going to a gym thanks to him.

I have lost 56 lbs while increasing muscle since training with him and my doctor told me that my cholesterol
and glucose levels are now fine without taking any medications thanks to my exercise program.  I look
forward to continuing my workouts and staying healthy thanks to Derek.

After training wITH Derek Leite of NYC Fitness Experts, Margot Bercy reflects on the impact the customized program had on her life.


      

Let me begin by explaining that I have a long history of obesity and have tried many different diets and exercise regiments in my 30-something years. They all worked for a time but I couldn’t maintain them with my lifestyle and attitude.  I also have many medical obstacles that have made losing weight a challenge, especially with exercise, such as multiple arthroscopic knee surgeries including a torn cartilage that I’m learning to deal with rather than proceeding with another surgery.  Needless to say, my motivation and enthusiasm about exercise was extremely low before meeting Derek. 

We have been training together for almost a year now and there are endless reasons to why we have been so successful thus far.  Derek was really persistent in the beginning with texts and emails to check in with me between sessions and keep me motivated.  He also dove in with a suggested snack and food list before I moved on to my nutritionist, suggested an exercise plan for when I’d workout on my own, as well as setting easy and attainable goals.  I really appreciated his patience with me at the beginning with my physical ailments without giving up on pushing me so that I could eventually progress to the level of workout we have achieved to date. 

I have lost 68 pounds, gone from a size 24 to 16/18 and am confident about continuing my progress and maintaining my weight because the weight loss has been slow and steady despite my erratic schedule and imperfect self-discipline.  I have so much more energy and physically feel better.  My balance has improved and I don’t have pain in my knees going up and down stairs like I used to because the muscles are finally doing their job.  Derek always greets me with a smile and keeps things fun so that I look forward to our next session and we have actually become friends in the process.

After training wITH Derek Leite of NYC Fitness Experts, Shue Chan reflects on the impact the customized program had on his life.

All I can say is body by Derek really works!  I reached my goal of becoming leaner and more
muscular in only 12 weeks.  Determination, hard work, sticking to the diet, and abiding by the
mindset of an excelling athlete was the formula that worked, and worked well. 

Derek pushed aside all the misinformation I was exposed to, and directed me to the right way of achieving my
goal.  He really works with you side by side until you get to where you want to be.  He is not only an excellent
trainer, but a great friend as well.

I have never felt so energized and rejuvenated since I have started training with Derek.  I can actually
see the muscle tone in my arms without having to flex.  It's amazing! Derek has created an incredible
workout regimen for my body shape that allows me to maximize my strength and strengthen my
weaknesses. 

He is a great source of motivation to my workouts and is completely knowledgeable of a woman's body,
which makes it so much easier for me to trust that he will help guide me to the place I envision myself to
be.  Did I mention that I have muscles now?!!" Thanks Derek

After training with Derek Leite of NYC Fitness Experts, Darren Gleeman reflects on the impact the customized program had on his life.

  

....my wife took a picture of me while on vacation.  I felt fat, wimpy and felt I was gliding towards a heart attack. Other trainers couldn't do it. They did fancy 'tricks' that didn't work.

After I found Derek, things changed for me mentally as well as physically. He pushes me to do my best. His classic techniques work and he is reliable. He helps with my nutrition.

I've been working out with Derek for over 2 years and the results are phenomenal.  I couldn't do it without him.  I wanted to build size, remove fat and feel good about myself.  He trains me in a manner to get to this goal.

I actually look at myself in the mirror and laugh. I can't believe it.

Thanks Derek!

Derek Leite has helped me change my life for the better. With him as my trainer I've not only transformed my
body, from something I was deeply ashamed of to something I've become proud of, but I've gained a sense of
self-confidence that was previously unknown to me.

I look forward to my sessions with Derek as he pushes me harder & drives me farther than I ever thought I could
go, and he does so while keeping my workouts unique and varied each session preventing me from ever feeling
bored or trapped in a routine.

Derek has been an inspiration to me both professionally & personally --because of him I am currently studying
to become a certified personal trainer-- and I am proud to call Derek both my trainer and my friend.
