"My husband and I have been training with Boualem once a week for approximately the last four months. We are in our 50's and were looking for someone to help us establish and keep a workout routine as well as someone who would challenge and motivate us. (By the way, we are not new to personal training - we previously had a personal trainer/bodybuilder come to our home regularly over a period of several years.) In our opinion, Boualem is an incredibly adept trainer, and his personality and attitude are perfectly suited to his role as a personal trainer. Boualem is especially skilled at designing workouts that are diversified and challenging, and I particularly enjoy the fact that no two workouts are ever the same. My husband and I have never worked harder than we do with Boualem, and we have made steady progress toward our fitness goals."

"I was what you would consider a typically frustrated person. I would attempt to eat right/exercise, as well as lift weights-yet would see very little positive change & rarely felt better. What I've experienced working with Boualem has already produced positive results. He focused on teaching me how to eat & when. When it came to exercise-I understand now how to focus muscle groups, use techniques other than just weight lifting, & push myself harder..."

"I have been training with Boualem now for 8 months, and he has made an incredible difference in my training. Boualem takes you to your limits then makes you go even further than you thought you could go. Thanks to Boualem I'm in the best shape I have been in since I began working out 15 years ago. "

"I have been with him (Boualem Aggoune) since he came to Powerhouse and have enjoyed his classes and him personally. He knows a lot about weight training and shows you well how to do everything without hurting yourself and (still) get results. I am older, and he has never made me feel that I should not be there, and motivates everyone in the class."

"Over the years I have used personal trainers at Omni. I have had memberships at the Y, and memberships at Curves. I have taken many community Ed aerobics courses not to mention the many weight loss programs I have enrolled in. Nothing can compare to Boualem's fitness classes. I feel stronger, healthier (and sexier) than I did in my 20's."

When it comes to personal trainers or gym instructors, Boualem is exceptional. His personable approach, and endless energy and enthusiasm, is both motivating and encouraging. He makes the class fun, while at the same time pushes us to our limits in order to get the best results possible in a short time. Not only is Boualem's class characterized by fun and great results, but Boualem is extremely knowledgeable and compitent in the field of fitness training. He stays on the cutting edge, trying new techniques and modifying the tried and true ones. Though I have been interested in and committed to personal fitness for the past 17 years, I have seen marked results and progress in the past 6 months since I began training with Boualem. Boualem is an outstanding trainer. Though he's short is stature, Boualem is "head and shoulders above others in his field!

I joined the gym about two years ago, worked out regularly, and saw only a small amount of change. Even though I was becoming more fit, and had more endurance, I just wasn't getting the results I was seeking. I hastily joined Boualem's classes thinking that it wouldn't make much of a difference. Well, I'm happy to admit that I was wrong! I have now been attending Boualem's classes for about a year now and I've lost an additional 10 pounds, as well as inches from my upper arms, waist and hips. I've done this with spending less time in the gym than what I was putting in before. Also, speaking from a woman's perspective, I can attest to the fact that Bouelem is very good at targeting problem areas that a lot of women need help with. Thanks a lot!

I joined the gym about 2 years ago and was working out regularly in classes, on the elliptical trainer, and with free weights. I saw some improvement as far as weight loss and muscle definition, but was looking for more. I started attending Boualem's classes regularly about 7 months ago. Since then I have seen marked improvement in my endurance, strength and muscle definition all over my body. I have received many comments about how much better I'm looking since joining his class. He is always very professional, and works you hard, but with his energetic personality and light hearted mannerisms, he always makes working out fun. He is very knowledgeable about what it takes to change a body and it shows in the people he trains. It doesn't make any difference what size or shape you are, Boualem makes everyone feel comfortable enough to discover what their potential is, AND he can get you there. Thanks Boualem!

"Nearly two years after having my son I still had an extra 20lbs of baby weight to lose. When I started working out with Boualem in February I weighed over 150lbs, for someone 5'3" that's a bit much. By May I was down to 134lbs and had gone from a size 10/12 to a size 6. He was very encouraging, especially when I got tired and didn't want to work out. He kept telling me he knew I could reach my goal, and I did. He gets so excited about what he does that it's contagious. I actually looked forward to working out. I was happier and more motivated than I had been in a long time. My husband not only noticed a difference in my appearance, but my attitude as well. Actually a lot of people noticed.Boualem gave me practical advice that I continue to use. He also helped me to use things I had in my home to help me continue working out on my own. It was one of the best experiences of my life. "
