I can’t recommend Tony enough! Over the past 8 weeks, he has completely changed the way I look at fitness and nutrition. Not only did he help me achieve results faster than I ever thought possible, but he also helped me gain confidence in myself again. One thing that really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about making sure I understood everything we were doing. He always took the time to explain why each workout, exercise, and nutrition choice mattered and how it would impact my body. I learned so much during this program, and it’s knowledge I’ll use for the rest of my life. The results have been incredible. I feel stronger, healthier, and happier than I have in a long time. My body feels amazing, and I truly feel like a whole new person. If you’re thinking about starting your fitness journey or taking it to the next level, Tony is the person to do it with. I’m so grateful for everything he’s taught me and for helping me become the best version of myself.

Working with Tony has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health. He pushes me to do more than I thought I was capable of while always making sure I feel supported and safe. His encouragement and expertise have helped me become stronger, healthier, and more confident. I truly appreciate his dedication to his clients and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about YOUR success.

When I started training with Tony Bednarowski at Get Your Lean On, I felt frustrated, stuck, and close to giving up. Twelve years ago, my life changed quickly after a ruptured appendix, a stressful divorce, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and reached menopause—all within a short period of time. Since then, I gained 20 pounds, struggled with intense sugar cravings, and felt like my body and metabolism had completely changed. Even with a strong health and fitness background, I struggled to make lasting progress. Between a stressful nursing job and running my massage business, life felt exhausting, and stress had become a major factor in my health. After just 7 weeks with Tony, I have gained far more than I expected. The biggest win has been accountability. Getting to the gym in the morning gave me a reason to show up for myself. Tony always had my workouts planned, which removed the mental burden and made consistency possible. Tony brings knowledge, encouragement, and a great sense of humor. I appreciated working with someone who understands both the physical and mental side of wellness. Although the scale hasn’t changed much, so many other things have. I am building muscle, feeling stronger, and carrying myself with more confidence. My surgical leg numbness is about 95% improved/inflammation has decreased in the joint, and even my skin tone/texture have improved. Most importantly, I’ve let go of some of the stress I’ve carried for years. Over the last decade, I slowly lost parts of myself and was beginning to give up. Tony helped me reconnect with my strength and reminded me to keep moving forward and never give up on myself. I’m grateful I started this journey and I have signed up for another round!

When I first started, I was looking to improve my health and fitness, but what I gained went far beyond physical results. Through Tony's coaching, I developed better habits, stronger self-discipline, greater confidence, and a completely different mindset toward taking care of myself. Physically, I feel stronger, healthier, and more energized than I have in years. Mentally, I feel more focused, motivated, and confident in my ability to stay consistent. The days I train with Tony are often my most productive days because the workout sets a positive tone that carries through the rest of my day. What separates Tony from other trainers is that he doesn't just tell you what to do. He educates you, holds you accountable, and genuinely cares about your success. His knowledge of exercise, nutrition, weight loss, and overall health is incredible, but even more importantly, he knows how to help people believe in themselves again. The results I've experienced have been life changing, both physically and mentally. I am grateful for everything I have learned and accomplished through his program. If you are looking for someone who truly knows his craft and is fully invested in helping you become the best version of yourself, I cannot recommend Coach Tony highly enough. His program is worth every penny.")

Coach Tony’s 12 Step Metabolic Reboot program is well structured and sustainable. The step-by-step approach helped me improve both my relationship with food and my knowledge about nutrition. If you’re looking to begin your new lifestyle journey, I can’t recommend this program enough!

I have known Coach Tony for many years, and he is by far the best, most knowledgeable professional trainer in our area. Following his healthy eating regimen, I have lost 34 lbs in months, and look forward to more training! Highly recommended, you need to meet this guy!

Coach Tony is down-to-earth and helps you feel comfortable and confident. He understands the science behind his methods and gives you the information you need in order to continue to improve after the program is done. However, I have tried to recreate his workouts on my own and it’s just not the same! You’ll miss it when it’s over - so TRUST THE PROCESS! He has the ability to motivate you and safely push you to exceed what you would accomplish on your own. I have particularly appreciated the accountability factor, but it’s more than that… it’s an alliance! You can tell Coach Tony has your best interest at heart and is rooting for you to succeed. He shows up for you even on those days you want to skip cardio! Ha! He keeps you motivated to stay focused. He did not let my lame excuses get in the way and went above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule. Starting my day by training with Coach Tony lifts my mood, reduces my stress, boosts my energy, and vastly improves both my physical AND mental health! Now, I genuinely look forward to working out! Like most things - you get out what you put into it. FOLLOW THE PLAN and you’ll see results, guaranteed! Coach Tony will be able to tell if you have been slipping, but he will help steer you back on track. I am THRILLED that I was able to avoid weight loss medication or surgery and got down from 255 to 155 pounds naturally through proper nutrition and exercise. With the help of Coach Tony, I was able to get down to 17.25% body fat my very first time working with him! I recently finished another 8 week program and was excited about reaching and maintaining 129.63 pounds of lean mass! I look forward to working with Coach Tony again in the future to hit my next goal! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Working with Tony @ Get Your Lean On is the best investment I've ever made in myself. After a significant 70-lb weight loss that I achieved on my own over about 2 years (mostly through eating right and running), I hit a wall. At age 43, I didn't expect much from adding in strength training—I just wanted to maintain my weight. I love running, but was terrified after several injuries that I'd gain weight. Doing strength training with Tony changed all that. Tony adapts everything around my running schedule, making it all work together seamlessly. His effective training delivered extraordinary results: substantial muscle gain, my first strict pull up ever, confidence in the gym, and multiple personal records outside the gym. I'm now faster and stronger than I've ever. All of this has been achieved in less total time working out - because his programming is EFFICIENT. Tony has years of industry experience. He knows what works and how to individualize it for each unique person. I love that he brings in holistic info and advice for nutrition too. After five months of strength training with Tony's programs, I'm injury-free. I never looked or felt so amazing in my entire life. I'm becoming a more "hybrid athlete", not just a runner, and I'm achieving unimaginable health gains because of what he's taught me. If you're stuck or believe your best physical years are behind you—they're not. Tony provides the support to create genuine, lasting change. An investment in training with him is an investment in you, whether you are coming off the couch or you're an experienced athlete.

Tony is THE BEST. I never felt so comfortable in a gym. He’s always cheering me on and puts a smile on my face every day I show up. Results of our teamwork are showing. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a trainer!

My husband and I are having a wonderful experience with coach Tony. We are both in our fifties and desperately needed a life style change. The both of us had turned into couch potatoes since Covid and were losing muscle and gaining fat. We both knew that if we didn’t do something soon, our quality of life would continue to decline and our lives would be cut shorter than we wanted. We were experiencing aches, pains, stiffness and low energy. We were having a hard time getting motivated to do something about it on our own. We made the decision to find someone to help us and hold us accountable. We wanted to find someone that could be both a nutritional coach and a work out coach. Did some google searching and came across Coach Tony. We contacted him, set up an appointment to meet and are still working with him. This was the best health decision we’ve ever made! We’ve been with him a few months now and are steadily loosing weight, gaining muscle and are eating as we should be. We do not feel deprived or hungry. Our aches and pains are diminishing and we are more flexible and have more energy. He introduces one new lesson for diet change per week so not to overwhelm you. After the first few weeks of nutritional lessons we were eager to start some exercise and weight training. He does a nice job of starting you out at your ability while gradually increasing intensity. He is very encouraging, fun and easy to work with. Not to mention he knows what he’s doing and knows what he’s talking about! My husband and I both have a much more positive outlook on our future and are looking forward to improving even more. Thanks Coach Tony!
