I STARTED TRAINING WITH AL IN 2007. WHEN I WAS ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF. I SAW THAT THEN POLICE CHIEF JOHN CROMBACK AND SEVERAL CO-WORKERS WERE BEING SUCCESSFUL WITH AL'S PROGRAM. I WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL AT FIRST BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I HAD "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT" AFTER A LIFETIME OF SPORTS AND 17 YEARS ,OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, I HAD MY FAIR SHARE OF ACHES AND PAINS. MY BACK,SHOULDER AND KNEE PROBLEMS ALL ADDED UP TO A FEELING LIKE MY BEST DAYS HAD PASSED ME BY .AL'S WEIGHTLIFTING PROGRAM CONSISTS OF 3 SESSIONS PER WEEK FOR 30 MINUTES. I WAS AMAZED AT HOW QUICKLY I BECAME LEANER AND STRONGER. HIS WORKOUT ROUTINES ARE SIMPLE YET COMPREHENSIVE. NO TWO WORKOUTS ARE THE SAME AND THERE IS NO DOWN TIME. THE PROBLEM WITH MOST GYMS IS GETTING TO THE EQUIPMENT YOU WANT TO USE. THAT PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST AT FUTURE FITNESS BECAUSE AL'S PROGRAM IS GEARED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING IN THE GYM.I ALSO THOUGHT THAT I WAS WORKING OUT HARD. MY STORY IS PROBABLY SIMILAR TO MOST GUYS. IN TRYING TO PROTECT OLD INJURIES, I WAS NO LONGER EXERCISING MAJOR MUSCLE GROUPS ( LEGS AND LOWER BACK). AL'S ROUTINES TIE ALL OF THE MUSCLE GROUPS TOGETHER. I AM NOW GETTING BETTER WORKOUTS IN 30 MINUTES THAN I HAD BEEN GETTING AT ONE OF THE LARGER GYMS IN 90 MINUTES. I NO LONGER FEEL THAT I HAVE TO BE ON THE DEFENSIVE AGAINST AGGRAVATING OLD INJURY.AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M ABOUT AS STRONG NOW AS I WAS IN COLLEGE OVER 20 YEARS AGO. I AM VERY FORTUNATE FOR WHAT AL HAS GIVEN ME AND I ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND HIM TO WHO EVER WILL LISTEN. AL'S PROGRAM HAS GIVEN ME 10 YEARS BACK ON MY HEALTH. IF I HADN'T GONE THROUGH THE LAST 18 MONTHS ,I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE.. I NOW HAVE MORE ENERGY FOR MY FAMILY AND MY BUSY CAREER.
