Poojan really looks to push, and knows where your body needs work. Being an all round package is what makes Poojan’s teachings so effective. Even if you are focused on one specific goal, he has your best interests at heart. He is patient, and very knowledgeable.  I would strongly recommend any program he has to offer.

Danielio M.

Poojan was my personal trainer and he really took the time to get to know me and designed a workout that met my individual needs. He was very personable and made me feel comfortable from the first time I met him. If there was something that caused me discomfort  he gave me modifications that I could do safely for my back issues. I highly recommend him as a PT!

Susan R.

I’ve been working with Poojan for a little while now, and I can confidently say he’s exceeded my expectations.  He’s super knowledgeable and great to work with. Structures workouts with your goals in mind, and pushes you to the limit to hit them. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Anthony D.

Working with Poojan has been an absolute delight from day one. He is very personable. He really listens and takes into consideration any problem areas you have. For me that was my neck, knee and tight hips. I truly feel like the workouts are designed for me and I never worry about being injured or suffering from pain. The progression of the exercise routines steady increased in intensity in such a way it really helped boost my confidence and confidence in my body’s ability. In just a month I was able to see such improvement in my mobility and strength. His instructions are clear and he constantly checks in for feedback and will adjust according to how your body responds. Since working out with Poojan I have never dreaded going to a session, instead I’ve had fun while seeing improvement. Great personalization without the exorbitant fee. I would highly recommend Poojan as a personal trainer.

Marleen R.

Pooj worked with me back in 2022. I was getting ready for a trip and had limited time to train. He helped me cut down on wasted time in the gym. I am the type of person to take breaks in between sets and with my schedule I didn’t have as long as I was used too for the gym. He kept me on pace and kept the workouts fun. I definitely felt stronger and more mobile after just a couple of weeks. He introduced me to some new exercises that I still do to this day, and worked in some of the exercises I already enjoyed. You can tell he listens and is always thinking of how to improve the workouts he provides. He is also just a high-energy, fun guy to be around which definitely helps when he is kicking your butt. The next time my workouts get stale or I need a little extra motivation I know exactly where to go; hopefully he wont be completely booked out.

Herb B.

Poojan Shah is a very intelligent trainer. He takes the time to curate a personalized training plan for each of his clients . He is dedicated and it shows through his actions. I am thankful to have the opportunity to train with him.

Poojan has great passion for his work and is dedicated to improving and learning more. He is innovative and always open to adjusting regimens on the fly based on soreness, old injuries that resurface, or shifting goals. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Poojan helped me get back in a gym routine and I was very impressed by his knowledge and communication. Through virtual coaching, he created a custom training plan/macro recommendations based on my specific goals and held me accountable via an app and videos. He provided detailed feedback on each of my workouts to make sure I was doing the exercises properly, progressing weight, and minimizing pain. He even went the extra mile by occasionally helping me in-person, which was not expected but much appreciated. I now have the confidence with the equipment and exercises to the point where I look forward to continuing what I've learned on my own. I would not be where I am with my fitness right now without Poojan, so I highly recommend him!

I trained from January through May to lose weight and get in shape for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. I lost about 22 lbs, but what I appreciated most was how varied and engaging the workouts were, which kept me motivated throughout the entire process. Beyond the weight loss, I also saw a significant improvement in my posture, balance, and overall fitness. At one point, I was dealing with a minor injury, and he did an amazing job adapting the workouts and finding alternative exercises so I could keep training safely and stay on track. His passion for what he does really shows. He’s constantly learning, staying up to date, and looking for new ways to improve his training. Knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. I couldn’t recommend him more.

As a coach and person that works out, I really value working with professionals who know their craft — and Poojan absolutely does. His dedication to his clients is unmatched, and his knowledge as a trainer shows in every session. He’s not only helped me work through my own shoulder issues with smart, effective adjustments, but he’s also given me great insight on coaching and player development. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about getting better.

I have been using Shah Athletics for 5 months and have found him to be excellent in helping me achieve my goals. Every session is well planned and well structured. I'm a spine specialist and I have found him experienced in creating exercise programs specifically for the lower and upper back. If you have issues and concerns related to your posture you are in great hands.

Excellent! Poojan is an exceptional trainer. He is passionate about training and it shows. He is adept at reading clients and automatically adjusts what he does to meet his clients where they’re at. Results are incredible if you stick with it. I’m about 4 months in and am blown away by how much I’ve progressed in that amount of time. Not to mention how great I feel day-to-day as a result. If you’re considering working with Shah Athletics, do it!
