Don--
I want to thank you for a wonderful, revitalizing, empowering week! It was fantastic! My "good behavior" mode is "revved up" and ready to keep on rollin'! (By the way, I checked my calendar and I started in this mode just about a month before I came to you, losing 11 pounds up until then and 3 more with you this week, so the "booster shot" was great!)
I knew that my bathroom scale at home had an impedance feature built into it, so I wanted to program it when I got home and see how the reading on there compared to what your device came up with. It calculated 38% (compared to your reading of 39%). So even though I know that these devices may not provide the most accurate readings, I feel that they at least provide me a means to monitor changes (er, make that monitor IMPROVEMENTS) in the coming months.
I can't wait to come back to you again and show you the "new me!" Thanks again, Don! You're the best!

Donny:
I wanted to firstly congratulate you on your new step into full-time fitness training. You and I go back over 12 years, to the days when you owned D.M. Martial Arts. You certainly have "gone the distance" in your own studio. Long before you started getting recognition as the top corporate trainer for your former company, I knew you were one of the best motivators I had ever met. Remember when I told you that you would do well in business. You needed that, and did quite well. Again, I am proud to have been a part of your life through these many years.
As your new phase unfolds, please know that I will continue to encourage others to seek out your services. I'm sure the recent referral to my nephew will yield excellent results in his young hockey career. I think back to the days when I came to your old studio... as a personal trainer for me, you were very tough. I did not come to you for nice, nice; I came to you as an amateur Baseball player. For most of the last 20 years, I've played baseball in an adult baseball league. As a result of our training sessions, I had an outstanding season in '98: not only did I hit well over 600 batting; I also led the league in bunt singles. I was one of the best in the Monroe County adult baseball league, and I was 38!! You know that I've always believed that sound nutrition and physical fitness go a long way toward a fulfilling life.
Though I've been out of baseball for the last 5 years, and though I miss the regime and routine of staying in top shape, I can STILL perform physically demanding jobs, and more often than not beat out younger men in physical endurance and strength requirements. I still use many of the techniques you taught me to stay in moderate shape. Anyone hiring you will gain in the short term, but will be enabled to have an above average level of fitness, which will aid them in their latter years.
Now get this: my beautiful daughter wants to see me play baseball again. I'm looking into starting an over-40 League, but certainly NOT because I can't keep up with the "youngsters". Of course, you and I will again be together for more training sessions. I aim to continue with a routine to carry me thorough many more future years.
Donny, please feel free to share this note with whomever you desire in the course of advertising your business. I invite any phone calls from prospective customers to assist in a decision to use you services.
Only the Best!!

Don,
I didn't have the money to buy a card, but I cannot thank you enough for staying in my corner, you have been an incredible inspiration to me over the past two weeks. Your enthusiasm, positive attitude, energy and happiness I will carry with me. It's obvious why God put you on this Earth. You have inspired me tremendously, what I have lost in spirit in the past two years you have found for me. Whatever happens from here, you have changed my life forever. I want to be friends for a long time to come. Once again thank you for giving me so much hope you have differently made a difference and I'm positive many others feel the same as I do, when they have the opportunity to meet you.
Sincerely, Your friend forever
Dave B.
