When Carole & I first began working with Serious Fitness’ online personal training program our biggest concern was if our form would be correct since we would not be working with Judd in-person, and if we would have the motivation to follow the weekly workout routine without having a committed slot each time with a personal trainer. However, during our first week we quickly realized that this would not be an issue!
The video and written descriptions in the Serious Fitness smartphone app make it very clear what to do and how to do things correctly. Our regular check-in meetings take it to the next level because Judd and his team are always there for us and our open discussions about modifications to various exercises make things very personal and accommodate us in every way. The regular changes to our program motivates us by keeping things fresh and constantly evolving so the motivation is not an issue at all. Our biggest goals when we joined were increased strength, balance, mobility & flexibility. Our strength has probably increased the most and we feel like we are more toned and fit. Hiking, biking, skiing all seem a lot easier due to our fitness. It's hard to put it into words but just looking in the mirror is a bit easier on the eyes. Mobility, balance and flexibility are a bit harder to quantify but those have increased noticeably. The Serious Fitness team’s commitment and dedication to our workouts and our lives in general is commendable and we consider ourselves fortunate to be able to know and work with them. Their overall knowledge around fitness and health are greatly appreciated. Dan & Carole PetersRETIRED, BOZEMAN, MT

When I was considering Judd's online personal training program I wasn't sure if I could make the commitment to myself AND to him. Judd convinced me to give it a try since his programs are tailored to compliment my fitness background and goals. Plus, he was able to design a customized exercise program for my home gym using his Serious Fitness Smartphone app which includes more than 2,000 exercises including video demonstrations. This made my life and exercise routine much easier. When I first started his program my biggest goals were to feel my body move better again while gaining significant lean muscle & strength. After just 4-weeks of following his program and coaching, I certainly noticed a HUGE improvement in all of those. Also, due to my increased strength, I am more confident in myself with a healthier body and mind. I love Judd's online personal training program!

If you are looking for a fitness coach I highly recommend Judd NeSmith. For those who know me well, know eating healthy and working out is foreign to me. It’s very rare to find me in the kitchen and you will probably not ever find me in a gym! As a client, Judd listened to my every desire, goal, fears, willingness, concerns, and most of all he listened to my honest dreadful attitude about working out. He genuinely cares about his clients health and wants to help anyone who needs/wants help. He doesn’t push you to reach his goal, or what he thinks your goal should be, expect you to be on any certain level, or even know how to do it! He will teach you everything! Another plus, he is the “Fitness Expert” for Best Reviews (you may have seen him on TV). But, he is much more than just that. Check him out!

Judd really focuses on where you are currently, what you want to achieve, and getting you there without injury. He customizes exercises to your level and based on your home gym setup, whether simple or elaborate. My wife, Jane Sakowski, and I highly recommend his program.

I have been friends with Judd Nesmith since college, and even then, he was a dedicated athlete whose first priority was to motivate his friends towards excellence in their personal athletic pursuits. After undergoing rotator cuff and bicep repair over a year ago, I knew I needed an expert’s help beyond the standard prescribed PT. Judd and his programs immediately came to mind. Not only have I been able to strengthen my body and to recover from my shoulder surgery completely, I am also benefiting overall from improved mobility and flexibility as well as learning about nutritionally balanced eating. Before, I was living daily in pain, and now, I feel stronger, healthier and most importantly, I am pain free. I am grateful for Judd taking the time to utilize his decades of experience in the world of sports and fitness to create programs that are tailored to my age and to my fitness goals. Thanks, Judd!"

When I started working out with Judd, I had just gone through a back procedure. The only equipment I had was a few hand weights, bands, a TRX system, a stability ball, and a yoga mat. Yet, my workouts were dynamic, and challenging, and kept my interest. Judd has consistently changed my workouts as I've healed and improved. I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of his stretching and corrective exercises were the same as those taught to me during my physical therapy sessions. Now, I've progressed to 5 days of exercise/workouts and feel better than I have in a long time. It all feels manageable and has become a part of my daily routine."

Since starting this program, I have increased lean muscle mass, vascularity and lowered my Percentage Body Fat (PBF) into the single digits! I would STRONGLY recommend Judd's program to anyone, but ESPECIALLY for those that appreciate an accountability partner to help you work through the challenge. If you are ready to start taking an active roll in your own health, and will commit to the challenge, call Judd!"

I'm feeling great. I haven't felt this good since I was in my 30's which was just a couple of years ago. Just kidding. I'm 62 so this is significant. When I was in my 30s, I was in the best shape of my life. In just a week working with Judd NeSmith, I've already seen a change in my waist and joint pain has decreased."

I began training with Judd NeSmith 14 years ago and the results have made a consistent improvement in my physical condition, energy levels and overall health. Before meeting Judd I worked with another trainer. When Michael’s gym closed, I searched for a new gym and trainer, ultimately coming across the Gunbarrel Athletic Club (GAC),where Judd trained clients.
From the beginning I have been very pleased with Judd’s knowledge, dedication, punctuality and commitment to the health, fitness and strength of his clients. When I started working with Judd, through strength training he systematically fixed my rotator cuff injury, and my upper back injury, which I had sustained as a teenager. When the GAC failed and closed, Spectra Logic built a gym in one of our buildings on Lookout Road in Boulder, which we named “Judd’s Gym”. There I still maintain my early Tuesday and Thursday trainings. Beyond that, Spectra created a series of group classes with occur Monday through Friday at 1:00-2:00 for our employees, which Judd teaches. This course has often been described as Spectra’s best employee benefit by our many participants, and has a strong following of Spectra’s employees. In the area of Covid-19 and shelter at home requirements, Judd has continued this program at Spectra. He has added an online version and a twice a week stretching program which allows Spectra’s shelter at home employees to continue their fitness programs. I strongly recommend Judd. His knowledge and dedication have made a huge positive impact on my life and the lives of many at Spectra, and has become a personal friend. Nathan ThompsonCEO AND FOUNDER, SPECTRA LOGIC. CORPORATION

I’ve been working with Judd consistently since 2008 and his exercise programming designed specifically for my active lifestyle has been a very rewarding experience. I really appreciate his focus on mobility and corrective exercise which has helped me overcome some nagging injuries. I’m a competitive volleyball player and his ability to design my workouts to enhance my skills and optimize my performance has been a game-changer.

Me and my buddy (age 20 and 21) have been using the Serious Fitness app for several weeks now and have been overly impressed with its capabilities. The interface allows us to communicate with Judd to discuss our workout and ask questions, as well as input and track our results on a per workout basis. We also found the instructional videos included in the app highly useful for improving form during our workouts. I recommend this app as an easy way to get personalized fitness instruction while maintaining the freedom to workout when and where you want. Thanks Judd!

I’ve been training with Judd about twice a week for 15 years. Today I’m stronger, thinner and even tougher than before. In fact, I was doing a metabolic strength workout with Judd and a good friend (male) the other day — and flipped my first tire. The damn things weighed more than I do. And I will turn 65 in two months.

I worked with Judd at Serious Fitness twice a week for five years before moving abroad in 2013. I have worked with trainers all over the world and working with Judd was by far the best experience for me with a personal trainer. I still do many of the routines and exercises that he taught, but more importantly as I have gotten older (I'm 47) the shift in workout style and focus he taught me has been critical for me to remain healthy and fit with a very busy lifestyle as a global executive of a major sports property and a father of two young kids. Judd can help anyone on their fitness journey particularly us men who struggle with transitioning our workout 'styles' as we get older."

15 years ago I dreaded my work out routine. I was a busy dad and business owner. I struggled with a healthy lifestyle. Judd changed all that. He coached me at my level and provided encouragement during difficult times. At age 54, I am now in the best physical shape of my life. Judd was a lifesaver for me.

Judd NeSmith was highly recommended to me from another business owner and friend in Boulder. I’ve been working him consistently for more than 5 years. His attention to detail and exercise programming has really impressed me. He follows a system based on exercise science and it is obvious. My overall fitness especially strength has greatly improved. I especially like his emphasis on corrective exercise and mobility.

I first met Judd in 2005 when I participated in his small group exercise classes which focused on Functional Strength Training. Since then he has been a personal trainer for my husband and I. Judd implements strength and conditioning modalities that incorporate more athletic types of movement and this has really helped me stay strong with my mountain biking, downhill skiing and running. Plus he has great taste in music!

I’ve been working with Judd for more than 5 years. His strength and conditions programs have really helped my performance in Enduro mountain bike racing and motocross. As an athlete, I really appreciate his focus on corrective exercise and functional strength training. Staying injury free during racing season is crucial and I’m thankful for Judd’s help with keeping me on the bike.

I have trained with Judd for 10 years. He not only has been lifesaving with regards to my physical health, but my mental wellbeing as well. I am 73 years old and I feel better about myself than I have for several years. He has become a trusted friend to lean on during difficult times. I would highly recommend Judd to anyone who is serious about their physical condition. He is truly a professional and a great friend.

I’ve been working out now with Judd NeSmith for over ten years and consider myself, and the community that has the opportunity to work with him, very lucky. Judd has always kept things interesting as well as challenging with his well-balanced, and ever-changing workout routines. He understands physiology exceptionally well and has helped me over the years with the various injuries that pop up. Additionally, and just as importantly, he understands the psychological aspect that goes along with physical training and is quite good at it. He is also my running coach which is of great benefit to me. I highly recommend Judd NeSmith and Serious Fitness.

I was struggling to find a personal trainer locally that was very knowledgeable in modern training techniques and able to design specific workouts to improve my functional strength, cardiovascular health and flexibility for golf. Then four years ago, a good friend who trains with Judd introduced us and we’ve been working together several times a week ever since. My workouts are centered on cardio and weight training intervals plus core and rotational strength and active stretching exercises. Judd is very good at changing the routines so our workouts don’t become stale. In addition, he is very good at recognizing when you need a push or when you need a maintenance type of workout depending on how you feel physically and mentally. As an added benefit, Judd is extremely knowledgeable in diet science and has really helped educate me regarding how my health is impacted by what I eat and drink. I’m always motivated to get in my workouts with Judd, especially after my wife has commented many times on how much my physique has improved since we began training together. Judd, thanks for your dedication, effort and friendship!

Judd---what can I say? He has been my fitness inspiration and motivation for over 15 years. He has kept me from injury by teaching correct methods. Judd has many times helped diagnose a pain and focused efforts in eliminating the issue. He has been my “director” of fitness and good health and core strength. His professionalism is impeccable. I have always enjoyed our workout sessions together and friendship and look forward to many more years of “Serious Fitness” with Judd.

It is fun getting stronger. So good for my morale. I used 50lb dumbbells for my incline presses and curled 30lb dumbbells. I haven’t lifted that kind of weight in 15 years. It feels so good to get stronger.

I started training with Judd over 12 years ago. During that time, he has not only been the best personal trainer guiding my strength and fitness progress, but also been very helpful and knowledgeable in providing corrective exercises and treatment advice for the myriad of injuries I've sustained over the past decade. When my left arm was in a cast for three months, he devised a training plan that let me emerge very close to full strength when the cast was finally removed. And, the same scenario when a cartilage issue in my knee severely limited anterior chain movements.
Judd has shown me how to balance my workouts and appreciate the value of form, corrective exercises, soft tissue conditioning and taking a rest day regularly. (That last one was a real challenge for both of us.) Thanks to Judd, my strength and physical abilities at 60 are as good as, if not better, than they were when I was 30! Lisa Perrin |

I’ve had the good fortune to work with Judd for 10+ years and have benefited greatly from his personalized fitness coaching. Judd’s vast knowledge and deep expertise in exercise-science is second to none. But perhaps Judd’s greatest attribute is his commitment to his client’s goals, health and overall well being.

Speaking as a corporate executive, Judd’s corporate program is a must-have. The visible result is healthier employees with lower medical costs, but the real value is in increased employee satisfaction and retention.“ As an avid mountain climber and outdoor enthusiast, I thought I had a good workout routine. That all changed when I meet Judd. His fitness methodology is truly transformative. I’m a man in my 50s with the desire to climb well into my 70s. Working with Judd, I now know that is a realistic goal.

For the past 10 years I’ve been fortunate to be a participant in the group exercise class that Judd runs for Spectra Logic. Being an active runner, cyclist and briefly tri-athlete (I’m a terrible swimmer) I was always pretty happy with my fitness level but working with Judd has dramatically improved that. Having the opportunity to train with Judd and develop a more well-rounded level of fitness through core and full body work has provided a lot of benefits and improved my strength and endurance. He has a knack for keeping my body “confused” with varied routines and that allows for both variety and a constant challenge. A nice side benefit is a mutual interest in music which we enjoy sharing trivia challenges and favorites. It’s a blast working with Judd.

I never realized just how much I didn’t know about exercise, health and wellness prior to meeting and working with Judd. As a life-long athlete, I was fairly confident my fitness routines were as high-caliber as they could get. After working with Judd for only a very short while, I came to understand just how far from complete my routines were. With Judd’s guidance, coaching and encouragement, these last 7 years are the healthiest I have ever been!

I have been attending Judd’s fitness classes for the past six years as a benefit provided by our company. I consider myself someone who is in good shape, but Judd’s ability to motivate and adjust the fitness training to each individuals specific needs is a strength of his training. He has strengthened my core, taught the advantage of dynamic stretching and taught me how “serious” fitness can extend your health and well-being to maintain an active and healthy lifecycle. I also count Judd as friend open to discussion.

I always thought I was in good shape, as I’ve always been a skinny guy staying pretty active, just never a really strong guy. When I started training with Judd over 10 years ago, I immediately noticed a solid muscle tone and overall health improvement. I also quickly noticed significant improvements in power and endurance with my various outdoor activities. Over the years, improvements continued, along with increasing lean muscle mass.
At age 40, I figured it was time to play the part of a ski bum, while keeping the corporate job by taking a part time job as a snowboard instructor at Keystone. Hanging with 20 year olds teaching all day, boarding well into the evening, not a problem anymore. This year, I figured it was time for a bigger challenge by mountain biking the entire Colorado Trail in under 2 weeks. It was challenging, but got it done. The experience was truly awe inspiring and life changing. There’s absolutely no way I could have done anything like that without Judd’s training. Thanks Judd! Jon CervelliTECHNICAL SUPPORT ENGINEER

I’ve been training with Judd for the last handful of years and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. His workouts range from strength conditioning, corrective exercises and anaerobic high intensity workouts not only give your body a good mix of variety but it keeps me engaged and excited as you are always doing something different. Judd does a great job of working on areas of weakness (some that you may not even be aware that you have) and altering workouts to work around the inevitable injury.
Since starting to work with Judd, my base conditioning is now at the point that I can jump to different activities ranging from mountain biking and hiking 14ers to backcountry skiing (and chasing my boys around the resort) without skipping a beat. I’m constantly impressed with his dedication and that he continues to keep current in his field. He has a never-ending desire to help his clients achieve their desired end goal. Previous to working out with Judd I looked at going to the gym as a necessary chore, but now I really look forward to each workout session. Drew dicarloCOST ACCOUNTING MANAGER

Hi friends. I just want to give a shout-out to a phenomenal trainer Judd NeSmith who we have out here in Boulder county. If you are experiencing any Chronic pains that you can't seem to get rid of, especially all my athlete friends, you won't go wrong booking an appointment with him. I've been watching his "free" online videos he posts on his FB page, and I know as a personal trainer myself, that he is one of the FINEST trainers you can find in our area. He's passionate about his work and sincerely listens and cares about his clients. I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.

I have been active for all 50 years of my life: running, hiking, biking, karate...you name it. I've come to realize that I overlooked vital elements in my fitness regimens: Mobility. Core strength. Hip strength. Without those, my body got unbalanced and I've been more prone to injury. Judd's workouts have motivated me to push myself effectively and work areas that have been neglected for decades. I haven't felt this good overall since my late 30's.”
