Joe has been a huge mentor to me. He has taught me so much in the fields of personal training, conditioning and mobility training, but also in professionalism. He takes what he does seriously, and makes sure to give all his clients everything he’s got. He works diligently to make his clients feel comfortable and appreciated while they strive to reach their goals. I feel I bettered myself by working with Joe, especially when it comes to pushing myself to my full capacity. That’s what he does best and it shows!

I have been a client of Joe's for over 10 years. He's extremely detailed oriented when it comes to training, he wants to be absolutely sure you're doing something right before you progress in any exercise. He has kept me challenged over the years, by teaching new skills and movements that constantly take me out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend Joe.

I highly recommend Joe Dressler as a personal and group trainer. I had been working with another trainer at Merritt gym and when he left I asked to work with Joe. I had seen him working with other clients and was eager to have the chance to work with him. Joe did a great job of understanding my goals, measuring my progress, making workouts competitive and transitioning the workouts outside of the gym to encourage an active lifestyle. Joe helped me get into a well-rounded functional athlete in my early 40s that could easily transition from one fitness goal/challenge to the next. I highly recommend any opportunity that clients have to work with Joe Dressler!

I've worked out with Joe for the past 13 years. He's incredibly skilled at developing, progressing and adapting plans based on needs and goals. He has a keen eye for details when it comes to form and is able to coach corrections in a way that is clear. He continually keeps up to date with the latest techniques and knowledge and isn't afraid to learn new ways to encourage his clients

I’ve worked with professional body builders and highly sought after fitness coaches. Joe Dressler is the most effective and knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with. He works to connect with his clients and takes them beyond where they think they can go. More importantly, he takes on a personal interest in your success and measures his worth by your outcome.

He needs to brand his name and methods. That’s how effective he is…

I first met Joe in the summer of 2013. I had signed up for cross fit classes at a different Merritt with an instructor, who I felt, wasn't very involved with the dynamics of the class. Needless to say, I was delighted to see him there and I soon realized that after a 1/2 hour into the session, I was going to leave with a greater understanding how cross fit could benefit me.

I quickly signed up for group cross fit training at Merritt in Canton. Joe incorporates strength with endurance training. He provides years of experience, knowledge, patience and an overall enthusiasm for his job as a personal trainer.

I can personally say that after 7 months, I am stronger and leaner. I also have found a new appreciation of my muscles and how my entire body operates by Joe's philosophy of learning the moves, being consistent and adding intensity. He also helps me develop the confidence to take on more challenging endeavors, like a 1/2 marathon! I would highly recommend Joe if your looking to improve or start your fitness goals.

I worked with Joe in St. Louis coaching an 8u baseball team. Joe is very knowledgeable about health and fitness. He was the conditioning coach as well as the catchers coach. Joe is able to make any conditioning program fit his clients needs, no matter the age or fitness level. Joe helped me out personally after I had surgery on my ACL. He helped me get back into playing shape with a lot of hard work. Joe is very dedicated to what he does and he truly cares about his clients. I don't like using the word "clients" with Joe. I was more than a client to him, I was his friend. I told Joe that if I made it anywhere in baseball that he was going with me. I truly meant that. I have stayed in touch with Joe over the years and we are still good friends to this day. If you are looking for someone to train with, write up a nutritional eating program, or just looking to drop a couple pounds, look no further

Joe is an excellent personal trainer that works with people of all walks of life to reach their healthy goals. Joe helped me to lose over 100lbs while educating me on healthy eating and challenging me to reach my goals. I wish we were in the same area so that I can rehire him to continue my fitness journey.
