“Ricardo is always a pleasure to train with. His knowledge and depth of experience in his respective field allows him to customize and continually modify a fun and challenging workout routine every week. As someone living with (MS) Multiple Sclerosis, I have found it difficult to a find trainer that really understands and is able to effectively work with my limitations. Ricardo is extremely positive and has provided me with the right amount of encouragement and motivation to inspire me to push myself and progress in a safe way. Joining the Heart Beats fitness group has been an incredible addition to my healthy lifestyle and training with this group is always the highlight of my day”. – Melissa M. –

“I am thankful and glad to be a part of this special health program. And to have a great trainer like Ricardo helping us, makes it worth while getting up on a Sunday morning and participating. Here our goal is to do the best in becoming healthy all around, whether it’s lifting, or stretching, or doing wall sits, or working with the battle rope, to name a few – Ricardo brings it all together, to give us that balance. Even though he pushes us to give it all we got as individuals, he makes it fun and he is big on encouraging us. Even though I have a long way to go, I see changes and I think, let’s run with this, because every time you leave his workout sessions, you feel good about yourself. Keep going, never ever give up… Kudos Ricardo, you are the best!”. – Glenys M. –

“I am a 62 year old enthusiastic Golfer. Ricardo was recommended to me by my friend. When asked why I wanted to work with a personal trainer and what my goals were I said that I wanted to work out with professional supervision to avoid injuries, and enhance my balance, flexibility and mobility so that I can improve as a golfer. Ricardo’s professional knowledge enabled him to customize a training program that focuses on helping me achieve my goals. Because Ricardo is very observant, he always corrects me so that I perform the exercises without exerting stress on joints or overworking muscles. Ricardo’s knowledge spans many subjects related to physical and mental fitness and how to create an equilibrium leading to a healthy body and mind. The long list of qualifications demonstrates that Ricardo believes in continuous education and development which in turn benefit his clients. Ricardo has a caring, gentle and enthusiastic approach and is genuinely committed to helping his clients achieve their goals while having fun. I am always looking forward to my workouts – thank you Ricardo!” – Eva K –

“When I first met my personal trainer, Ricardo Ordonez, I knew that he was the perfect match for me! From the very first evaluation session, Ricardo was attentive, empathetic and truly listening to my story. His caring and gentle approach was so appreciated. I was impressed with his knowledge of fitness, from exercise to nutrition, to mind set and goal setting. Throughout the all the weeks together, he skillfully guided me through exercises which were at my level, and taught me the proper techniques for using the various machines and equipment. He paid close attention to each motion I made, making corrections or giving me gentle reminders; he patiently changed some exercises to better suit my abilities and taught me how I can work up to the next level. He always encouraged me, answered my questions and was quick with compliments to make the lessons interesting and rewarding. We were able to create a very good work out program that meets my present needs. I am now working out confidently and secure in the knowledge that I am doing what is right for me. Thanks to Ricardo, I am on the right track to becoming a healthier version of myself.” – Rose-Marie Z.,57 –

“2 months ago I embarked on a journey to try and regain my health. At 44, I was borderline obese for my size with hypertension and generally very out of shape. I decided to do the classic and get a gym membership, try and eat less and exercise more. Easier said than done. After 10 years of inactivity, it was very overwhelming. I really had no idea where to start. At the suggestion of a family member, I decided to hire a personal trainer at Steve Nash named Ricardo. Best decision I ever made!!! Ricardo approached my situation in a very well thought out and methodical fashion. We discussed lifestyle choices, fitness goals, diet and nutrition to develop a custom plan for my needs. His engaging and energetic style helped to motivate me beyond my expectations. And his encouragement fueled my drive to succeed at each interval of triumphs. Truly a motivational master!!! I’ve lost almost 10 pounds in just over two and half months with the boot camp style program Ricardo designed for me!! He has helped me push myself to a new level of fitness I didn’t think possible. I feel fantastic; brimming with energy and focused on fine tuning my conditioning ongoing. I am now enjoying the experience of becoming fit again. He’s given me a toolbox of great exercises I can incorporate into my day when I’m not at the gym and also taught me how to create extensive workouts when I am at the gym. I highly recommend Ricardo as a trainer!!! His attention to clients’ needs is so evident when you watch him working with someone. He is truly engaged in his commitment to their fitness goals. Friendly, personable and very professional. Thank you Ricardo!!!! You have helped me tremendously to not only reshape my body but also to reshape my perspective about looking at this journey as a life long adventure to better health!!” – Suzanne M. BScN, RN, 38 –

“I am a 71 year old male and had been active all my life until I had knee replacement surgery in 2012. It took almost two years before I felt comfortable with the titanium knee and most of the pain was gone. Unfortunately I put on around 30 pounds in weight and had become a couch potato. During the last year I tried different weight loss plans tried to get off my butt and do more walking. None of that worked as I just couldn’t work up enough motivation. Nov. 28, 2015 (201.5 lbs), I’m walking out of Walmart at the Uptown Mall with a coffee in one hand and a McDonald’s apple turnover in the other hand. I look up and see Steve Nash Fitness World. I went in to check the place out and was very impressed with the equipment and the overall facility. I signed up! After talking with the Ricardo, a Personal Trainer I decided to go with a personal training 3 pack. Ricardo talked to me asking what my goals were and what I wanted from the facility. I want to lose weight and to tone my flabby body. He set me up on the Dotfit site, where I could record food intake noting calories, protein, carbs and fat. One could also record your calories burned through exercises. I found the Dotfit to be a very useful tool to help achieve my goal. Ricardo also put me on the Body Composition Analysis scale. For me to reach my goals by May 2016, I was limited to 1693 calories per day along with the exercising plans. After three training sessions with Ricardo I was so impressed that I bought the 12 pack. Ricardo set me up a routine and would pay close attention to proper body positions when doing different exercises. Ricardo not only inspired me but he provided me with the motivation I needed to achieve my goals. After a total of 15 personal training sessions with Ricardo I was back on the Body Composition Analysis scale. Today January 29, 2016, my weight is 183lbs. I am motivated and I am in the Steve Nash Fitness club working out for 60- 90 minutes three to four times a week and enjoying it. I’m feeling better and more energized than I have in decades. I want to thank Ricardo Ordonez for his professionalism, guidance and for motivating me”. – Gary S., 71 –

“I would like to thank you for your help in getting me started back on the road to fitness. I have found you to be very encouraging while maintaining an emphasis on safety. You have been continually cognizant of my old injuries while working to gently improve those areas and not forgetting to work on my areas of strength as well. You also have kept in mind my stated goals. Your instruction has been well rounded challenging me to adopt more healthy dietary habits. You are very personable and I have enjoyed working with you, thank you.” – Juanita K –

I was so impressed when we met and you patiently walked me through every step of the signup and what the training would entail and you have kept your word. I definitely will pass on your name to my friends and associates – you couldn’t have a better fit!”. – Marjorie G. –
