Testimonials

“BACK IN FORM, Inc. has been a valued contributor to our employee health and wellness program. The presentations regarding ergonomics and stress-management were greatly appreciated and continue to make a positive impact in our employee’s day to day work-life.”

“Hartmut has been my personal trainer for the past year, coming highly recommended from a friend. I have honestly never been in better shape. He is a truly talented trainer who is able to provide challenging exercises that are diverse and individualized to my specific needs and areas of concern. I also really appreciate his professionalism and extensive knowledge of the human physiology which has helped me through many running injuries. I have worked with personal trainers for the last ten years and I would say unequivocally that Hartmut is one of the absolute best.”

“Hartmut has helped me overcome multiple physical challenges with effective, efficient, intelligent, results-oriented, and reliable physical training. Workouts are tuned to my specific needs. Hartmut helped me get in shape and stay in shape. When I had back and foot injuries, Hartmut gave me exercises to assist with recovery and to build strength so those issues did not reoccur. I’ve worked with numerous personal trainers before meeting Hartmut and no one compares in terms of physical training intelligence and effectiveness.”

“Hartmut Broring brings a wealth of experience and genuine care to his practice. He is innovative and engaging when he teaches group balance classes to our cardiac rehab group. Hartmut’s expertise shines in both a group and individual setting. For 23 years, he has been making a difference at the Cardiac Therapy Foundation in Palo Alto.”

“Hartmut and Back In Form provide a balanced approach to change and a sure, steady path to goal accomplishment by combining expertise, creativity, and sensitivity with a positive, energetic outlook. Caring enthusiasm is key to Hartmut’s technique while challenge is the underlying guideline. Hartmut’s unerring evaluation of his client’s capabilities at each step keeps the exercise plan appropriate and the desired result possible. It has been a great pleasure for me to work with Hartmut and Back In Form and successful as well.”

“I’ve been training with Hartmut once a week for about eight years now. He does a great job of mixing up the exercises I do so it is never boring or repetitious from one week to the next. Utilizes a great variety of strength, endurance and agility exercises. I can tell he thinks about his clients and what will be the best for them based on where they are. Excellent technical knowledge of exercise physiology and what is going on in the body when his clients train. Highly recommend.”

“My husband and I have been training twice a week with Hartmut for the past couple of years. I am in my seventies and my husband is in his eighties. These workouts have been making all the difference in our strength and stamina. This is especially true in my husband’s case who has had both knees and one shoulder replaced. His balance has greatly improved and he is walking so much better. Hartmut is extremely knowledgeable about his profession, his exercises are scientifically based, and we have great confidence in his ability to push us to our limit without injury. We would recommend Hartmut highly and feel fortunate to be working with such a qualified person in his field.”

“After training with Brian Danley for over a year, I have seen a complete transformation in my physique. The results have been amazing! I have lost over 20 pounds, but more importantly I have gained a newfound confidence! Brian goes above and beyond for his clients. Reviewing and recording workouts, taking into consideration previous injuries and building workouts to meet individual fitness goals can be attributed to my own success. His positive attitude and professionalism has motivated me to live a more health conscious lifestyle. Taking the extra step to implement a personal trainer into my own fitness routines truly elevated my workouts and provided me with a program that I intend to continue long into the future. If you want to get fit, learn about proper nutrition and experience engaging and customized workouts, then Brian Danley would be the perfect trainer for you!”

“I have been working with Mr. Hartmut Broring and Back In Form since 2016. He has been an outstanding physio therapy colleague, and I have referred multiple patients to him for the last 2.5 years. I have received nothing but positive feedback about him from my patients. He is always professional and has been an excellent resource for a variety of patients; he has especially been an effective trainer and therapist for my older (>65 year-old) patients.”

“Our family is deeply indebted to Hartmut for the years he has trained our 90 year old father. Hartmut tailored a program that has helped Dad strengthen his core and legs so despite a fused ankle and serious knee issues, Dad has been able to climb up our spiral staircase and take long walks at Rengstorff Park. Dad also has dementia which has made following directions challenging. Hartmut’s patience, medical training, and skill dealing with seniors overcame these obstacles to give Dad a better and healthier life. We are very grateful for this gift.”

“Hartmut Broring and his staff at Back In Form have been working with my patients, featuring various orthopedic, metabolic, neurological and cognitive limitations, over the past 4 years. Hartmut’s understanding of their various health conditions along with his extensive knowledge of physiotherapy make him a great fit for evaluating and working with special needs clients. His design of appropriate and customized therapeutic exercise programs helps my patients to both overcome acute conditions, and to manage chronic health problems. His goals always include to maximize quality of life and independence for all my patients regardless of their baseline limitations. I cannot recommend Hartmut and Back In Form highly enough.”
