I lost 15 pounds and went from a size 8 to a size 4 training with Charlie. Charlie is very committed to my goals. He is passionate about health and fitness, which makes me passionate. The workouts are interesting and challenging and I'm excited to continue to see results!

My whole life I have been up and down in weight and Charlie finally made me see that it's not about specific diets, it's about lifestyle. Using his nutrition guidelines and training with him has allowed me to drop over 25 pounds in a way where I don't feel deprived. He truly adapts his training techniques in a way that keeps you interested and not bored.

Working out with Charlie has been
life-changing. He has helped me to make healthy eating and proper exercise a
way of life-- and
as a result, the pounds have melted away. I've shed 25 pounds
in 4 months and have never felt better. I have been so impressed with Charlie's
professionalism and vast knowledge. He has balanced pushing me with keeping me
injury free during my workouts. Charlie is more than a trainer, he is a life
coach. I feel like he is committed to my success and a partner in my personal
journey to be the healthiest woman I can possibly be.

When I began using Charlie as a personal trainer, I was recovering from a knee problem which created certain exercise limitations and potential for knee pain. I was skeptical about my potential to see results through training, and honest about my lifelong hatred of exercise and love of chocolate. After 6 months, I've improved my knee and lost 12 lbs. by developing healthier patterns and lifestyle choices, thanks to Charlie's informed persuasion and guidance. I feel good about getting stronger, slimmer and healthier. I really didn't think it was possible. But, Charlie is well informed and teaches his clients the most current literature on health, fitness and weight loss. It is this combination of knowledge, consistent support, hard work, a good sense of humor, balanced by his keen understanding of human nature and realistic practicality, that set him apart from other trainers. He is the nicest drill sergeant you will meet. With Charlie's excellent work, I have gotten the job done (no longer hate exercise, still enjoy some chocolate) and am thrilled by the results.
Thanks Charlie!

After gaining the notorious "Freshman 15" during my first year of college, I
resorted to weight loss products and crash diets. However, when I started
training with Charlie, he provided me with nutritional suggestions and effective
workouts. I can proudly say after training with Charlie for 3 months, I have
lost almost all 15 pounds and I replaced my once favorite word "skinny" with his
favorite word "healthy." Not only did each session with Charlie provide me with
innovative workouts, but he ultimately strengthened my self esteem! He also
encouraged me to look at myself for who I am, rather than the contour lines of
my legs, or the number I see on the scale. Charlie has transformed the concept
of working out from a mundane task to a creative activity which I look forward
to each Tuesday and Thursday.- Rachel, Wayne, NJ
Charles of CR Fitness is a one in a million "body coach". He draws on an extensive knowledge base to conceptualize a unique fitness program focusing on form and correctness of execution leading to fast paced results. This has and continues to have a very positive effect on my daily quality of life.

After attending several weeks of "boot camp", it is clear that Charlie of CR Fitness is a master at what he does. His knowledge of both fitness and nutrition is impressive. He keeps the classes both fun and challenging and I am already starting to see results. His passion for what he does comes through and inspires you to work that much harder. I highly recommend CR Fitness to anyone who finally wants to see results.
- Jill, Wyckoff, NJ
I would recommend Charlie's Boot Camp to anyone wanting to feel better about themselves! His class allows you to work at your own pace pushing as far as you feel comfortable. A couple of days later, you are sore but you feel rejuvenated and energized and eager to get back to class again! He works the core muscles, tones the arms, legs and stomach and even makes you smile while you are working out! Great class for anyone!
- Leslie, Wyckoff, NJ
I've been working out for over 20 years and although I've
seen results from running, weight training, and yoga, Charlie's boot camp brings the results to a completely different level. Over the past few months I've seen my body shape change (all my jeans are now loose!) and my arms, legs, stomach, and hips are much more toned. He is extremely knowledgeable about the importance of incorporating core, cardio, and weight training into a workout program and makes it challenging and fun at the same time. I greatly appreciate the nutrition advice he shares at the end of each class and his ability to acknowledge that you can eat healthy and still enjoy life! He's motivating to his clients, passionate about what he does, and a true student of his profession. I would recommend Charlie's boot camp and personal training expertise to anyone who truly wants to get into the best shape of their lives.

My goal
was simple. I wanted to gain functional strength, increase balance and
tone muscle. In 3 months I achieved those goals and more! Charlie is a
terrific trainer who is consistently supportive. During a group class he
seamlessly manages to challenge the advanced while never minimizing the needs
of newcomers. Irrespective of your fitness level, Charlie has just the
right adaptations. Without a doubt I train much harder than I ever have
on my own. Yet, I’m having the best time! Charlie seems to draw
only the nicest clients so we’re all having fun while getting in shape.
Lastly, Charlie teaches the class so much about nutrition. This enables
us to combine both fitness and healthy eating for optimum results. Thank
you Charlie!
- Mary, Wyckoff
Charlie: You are the best! I started with you last Spring and
"Love"every minute of boot camp! I can't wait to get to the next
session to see what you will challenge us with! I feel so much stronger and
healthier with all your nutrition suggestions! Thanks for making working out so
much fun!
- Ruth, Allendale
After not doing any real exercise for my entire life, I was lucky enough to find
Charlie. Whether you're a newbie like me or a veteran exerciser, with Charlie's
extensive knowledge base, practical nutrition advice, and safe and fun workouts,
results are inevitable. I'm stronger, more toned, my jeans are loose, and I'm
eating much healthier. I can't recommend Charlie enough.

I am recommending without reservation, Charlie Remiggio as a personal trainer. I started training with Charlie about 5 months ago with the express purpose of improving my posture and balance and to also strengthen my core. Charlie is patient, innovative and understanding of my limitations. In just a few months, I am well on the way to achieve my goals, due to his ability to motivate me. The program he has structured is just right for my capabilities. I am 71 years old and am now doing exercises and stretches that were previously beyond my capabilities.
- Irwin, Glen Rock, NJ
Charlie's training program and guidance helped me achieve passing scores during rigorous physical training in the military. He is always a positive influence and respects limits but encourages a person to go farther.
- Pat, Franklin Lakes, NJ
Want to
feel good? Workout with Charlie. For me
it's about getting strong; shedding 4 pounds was an added bonus. After working
out 2 1/2 months with Charlie I can honestly say I'm stronger and healthier.
There is a lot of physical abuse getting a house ready for sale and I know
without a doubt I would be crippled by now had I not joined CR fitness. With
Charlie's knowledge and attentiveness I achieved this without injury. He truly
motivates me to sign up for every session. Charlie, is there a lifetime membership?
Elizabeth M., Wyckoff
Charlie's Boot Camp incorporates all the best of strength training and cardio while working all the muscle groups. It's just an awesome, fun workout for anyone trying to get fit or lose weight. Definitely the best workout for the money!!
- Doreen, Wyckoff, NJ
In 5 months, I've lost 58 pounds and 7 inches off of my waist (and counting!) following the program outlined by Charlie. I could not have reached my goals without his help!

I first called Charlie for two reasons. One, I had chronic neck and shoulder pain that would often plague me for months at a time, putting an end to my workouts and any progress I had been making at the time. And secondly, because I had, in the last year or two, been carrying around that “mid-life middle” that torments so many women of a “certain age.” I had started to believe there was nothing I could do about that, as all the books and magazines told me, it was the hormones and a slowing metabolism. Skeptically, I decided to give it a shot.
After only a few months I have to say that I am down 12 pounds and my mushy middle is gone. I’ve gone down a pants size, although I’m thinking of returning my new size 6’s because they are too big. What’s more, I’ve been working out pain free, I’m not worried about throwing out my shoulder doing simple tasks and my posture is better.
Charlie is the most focused personal trainer I’ve ever worked with. He asks you to set a goal and then does everything in his power to get you to it. But he will not kill you. His workouts are tough, getting gradually harder as you get stronger, but his interest is in getting you to your goal in a healthy way. Always mindful of preventing injuries, he creates a plan that works with your life. We talk about nutrition, a subject I originally fought him on while he patiently waited for me to see the light. And we talk about the biggest obstacle most people have to achieving health and fitness: our own heads.
Charlie knows a million exercises, but to him that’s not enough. He spends countless hours researching exercise physiology and philosophies, nutrition and health. If your elbow hurts one week, he’ll come back next week sighting five studies on elbow injuries.
Having surpassed my goals, I now need to decide on a new one. Oh, I’m not done. As Charlie says, we are all a work in progress. But I’m turning fifty in a few months and planning to hike the Grand Tetons on my birthday. Thanks to Charlie, I think I’ll make it to the top. Now all I need is a new pair of size four hiking shorts. - Lisa, Franklin Lakes, NJ
In the past, I've stayed in shape by spending 2 hours at the
gym/3 times a week - an hour class for cardio and another hour class for weight
training. What I like about Boot Camp is I can get the same results in 45
minutes/3 times a week. I also feel like I challenge myself more in Boot
Camp. Recently, I took 2 months off this summer and of course, I noticed
that my clothes were tight and that I
felt sluggish. Now, thanks to my
Boot Camp classes, I have more energy and I have lost 3 pounds! I
am motivated to continue to see results!

I have been working with Charlie (on and off) for almost three years. I started on a 1-1 basis and then more recently became involved in his boot camps. Charlie has helped me tremendously in both capacities. I never developed a love for working out, but when I hit my 40’s it was clear I had to do something. Charlie has shown me how to work out in a typical health club setting as well as with limited equipment which allows me to have the ability to train at home and on the road. I used to think that unless you had about an hour to spend on working out it wasn’t going to be effective. I now know, thanks to Charlie, how to make the most out of a workout if you find yourself short on time. The boot camps are enjoyable to me because it offers an opportunity to work out with other people and the work outs have variety. When you leave a boot camp session you have done both strength training and cardio. You really feel good.
