“I trained with Timothy Vincent Haynes for about 1 ½ years. Tim is the ultimate fitness professional when it comes to developing the body to meet its full potential not only from aesthetic perspective, but also from a health perspective as well. I’ve had training sessions with other professionals that were pretty good, but Tim took fitness training and nutritional wellness to entire different level. Tim has a very strong nutritional background and also understands the physiology of the body just as well (if not better) than any nurse or doctor on the market.
During the training sessions, Tim would teach me in intricate detail how to execute each of the individual exercises. He did this by demonstrating exactly how to push and pull every single planned exercise for the day. Another key thing Tim would do was constantly emphasize proper form while never compromise form to finish any exercise. For example, if I was struggling to complete my last 7 of 10 reps of dumbbell curves at 135 pounds, Tim would stop me immediately, lower the weight to 125 pounds and have me max out the planned 10 reps with proper form. Tim was great at emphasizing this point. Each week Tim would have a planned set of workouts to cover the entire body including core (abdominals), legs, back, chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps. His plans were set for 3 to 5 days a week. Some days were strength training and some days were endurance training depending on what direction Tim wanted to emphasize change in the body. Tim pushed me really hard within reason and made sure that I did my best during each workout and was a great a motivational coach. This allowed me to max out most of the time during each training session. I consider all of my training sessions A+ due to the fact that I saw changes and improvements each week.
After my training sessions each week, Tim would do a progress evaluation by taking waist measurements of the client’s body sizes in inches, weight the body on the scale, taking a body mass index (BMI) test and other different tests to gauge changes and progress throughout from diet and exercises throughout the week. Tim would analyze all of the results from the data and make informed adjustments and tweaks to the nutritional plans and workouts for the upcoming week with the goal of keeping me on track to meet health and fitness goals.
In addition, Tim would design nutritional and workout programs specifically tailored to meeting each individual client’s fitness goals and needs. For example, Tim may switch up the proteins by having me eat red meat instead of fish to help with building muscle better, or Tim would have me increase my calorie intake on proteins and decrease slightly on the fuel efficient carbohydrates (sweet potatoes or brown rice). Tim actually had all of this written down for me in a formal word document that basically had a weekly planned laid out. The only thing I had to do was be disciplined and execute the plan he laid out. His attention to detail is one of the reasons I saw drastic results in a 3 week period when I looked at a before and after photo for the first time.
Overall, working with Tim was an invaluable experience. I had the luxury of working with someone that gave more that 150% of effort each time he trained and evaluated me. Tim treated my body as if he was training and nurturing his own. From my perspective, having Tim as your trainer is like having a doctor, nutritionist and fitness professional all in one. He’s not just a fitness professional, he’s also an educator that teaches his clients how to train in a way that is strategic designed to see maximize results. Overall I am rating Tim at Five Stars and Outstanding.”
