Sgt. Nate is the bomb.
The classes are small, which I like, because Sgt. Nate really watches your form to make sure you are pushing yourself, getting the most out of your workout, and being safe. He accommodated me when I had some lower back soreness from doing rowing at another place incorrectly and injuring myself.
The classes are only 45 minutes, but they are an intense work out. I always leave feeling accomplished.
Kettleball Blast and Abs/​ButtLegs are the best!

Simply put by Sgt. Nate «this is not a fun class, its a physical fitness class». This couldn’t be more true. Don’t expect to go in and enjoy what you’re doing, not completely at least. In these classes you are pushed to your highest potential. Theres only about 6 people per class so you are definitely getting a close training. Sgt. Nate modifies if needed and is more than willing to work with you. The 45 minutes flies by and the classes are always filled with smiles.
Definitely my favorite fitness class I’ve found in the city.

I attended Saturday’s functional fitness conditioning class, and I’m glad I did. It’s exactly the kind of class you are looking for if you just want a good workout. Combination of exercises utilizing kettle bells, TRX, medicine ball, and your own body weight. This is a small studio, bring your own water and towel, and give it a try.

Stated simply: Sgt. Nate is the best there is.
Sgt. Nate meets each person where he/​she is and pushes him/​her to highest potential. I’ll always hold Professional Touch as the bar that other fitness centers and coaches will only strive to match.

Update: I have been with Sgt Nate for over a year now, and the results are outstanding. I have lost 2 pants sizes, and am the most fit I have ever been in my life! The boot camps are wonderful as are the kettlebell classes. The classes are physically as well as mentally challenging — not for the faint at heart! I am stronger and fitter and continue to be able to do more than I could the day before. I have completed 2 mud runs and a half marathon as well as about 5 other races in the past year and feel great.
He has also added some Bokwa dance classes into the schedule taught by the fabulous Kalika. They are a nice addition to my routine!

Update — I’m now ready to share my modest fitness prowess. No longer do I feel as if I’d been hit by a dump truck after my PTF workouts with Sgt. Nate. After 6 to 8 weeks of recovery pain* I’m now at a point where I feel only gentle «reminders.» Bonus points & stars to Sgt. Nate because he always has the perfect stretch to alleviate my muscle woes.
My results speak loud and clear — as amazing Unilocalers Christine B & Katrina C can also attest. When I started in the beginning of October I was not able to complete a full push up, I could do 23 rowers (situps) in 1 minute & run a mile in 7:47. Two months with Sgt. Nate and I can now do 20 real push-​ups & 37 rowers in a minute as well as run a mile in 7:17.
Thanks Sarg & all my fellow PTFers I couldn’t have done it without you!
*Note: I did NOT have a strict workout regimen before joining PTF, hence my blubbery muscles & associated recovery pain from Ranger Training workouts.

As my Philly fitness tour continues, I found myself at Ranger training after some encouragement from Katrina C. We had been taking some boot camp classes together and she kept saying I had to try ranger training. I actually used to walk by these crazy people at 6am in Rittenhouse when I walked to spin class, but with Versafit now defunct, and the sun rising too late to get in my morning run, I decided to become one of these people. I got a great deal from groupon and after returning from vacation finally gave the ranger training a try.
My first experience was a positive one. There were about 8 people in the class, and we started right away with a few sets of jumping jacks. I pretty much didn’t stop moving for the entire 45 minutes with running, push-​ups, burpees, mountain climbers, tricep dips, and high knees all part of the routine. Sgt. Nate expects you to do what he says, but it doesn’t seem like he would make you do anything you really can’t do. He’s also very firm with his instructions, and if you don’t follow them expect to do some extra push-​ups, but he’s encouraging and didn’t yell at anyone. He really seems committed to helping people get healthy.
I’m definitely looking forward to continuing with it.

When I first started with Sgt. Nate’s Professional Tpuch Fitness, back in November, I was over 300 lbs. And could barely run around the block, do a single push up, or keep up with the group. His training gave me both the physical and mental stamina to continue. I am now 2 pant sizes down from when I started and I feel so much better about myself. Plus I can run 3 miles without stopping.
Be warned! It is very addictive! all the groups have a welcoming feel to them, and you’ll feel good doing it.

Love Sgt Nate — and all of his staff.
No matter what level of fitness you are at when you start or whatever your end goals are, Sgt Nate will get you there. He makes you want to be better. He brings out the best in everyone he trains.
He is THE BEST DEAL in the city!

I met the awe inspiring Sgt. Nate about 2 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I got into the best shape of my life from Sgt. Nate and Fusion gym over the last 3 years (I have to give credit where credit is due). Sgt. Nate and his Personal Touch Fitness Model is the only way to really make the difference you are looking for to get in peak shape. Its one thing to workout, its another thing to feel amazing and feel fantastic about yourself, your workouts and have the warrior mentality while you do that. Sgt. Nate helps you do it.
There are a lot of imitators… Sgt. Nate/​PTF is the originator. If you need a comparison, the others are NYSNC and Backstreet Boys, he is the Jackson 5. I am just sayin…
