"When I started training with Larry, I had one simple goal in mind….to become a morning excerciser.  With a full time job and two young children, working out in the evening was becoming more and more of a challenge.  Larry recognized my concerns and worked with me for 12 weeks.  Throughout the course of my training, I was always impressed with Larry’s enthusiasm and positive attitude.  He created a very manageable and realistic plan that focused on combining cardio, weight training and yoga.  Larry explained that success is all about establishing a rhythm and believing in myself.  He encouraged me to use techniques such as self-talk and rewards.  He also taught me that success is a result of the quality of the workout, not the time committed.    

Not only did I succeed in becoming a morning excerciser, but I learned to appreciate that “me” time in the once dreaded early morning hours.  I thank Larry for his encouragement and commitment to helping me achieve my goal."

"Just wanted to let you know I had such a good time at the race yesterday!  The weather was perfect...It was so much fun!
Thank you for all your help through my training- I was strong through the entire race.  My arms were tired pulling myself out of the pool but other than that I stayed strong biking ALL the hills and running ALL the hills!  Don't know my time yet but I will let you know.
 
Thanks again for all your advice!"

"Thank you so much for making time in your schedule to present on the topic; "Overcoming Challenges'. Your journey is inspirational; starting with a dream to the moment you crossed the finish line. The detail of your narrative allowed every audience member to feel as though they were part of the process, and reinforced the belief that with careful and consistent planning, goal setting, evaluation and contingency planning we can all meet our objectives. ...Your experience helped put our small day-to-day stresses into perspective. ...You are a terrific motivator and hope you continue to tell your story to others."

"[Mr. Gagnon] As my Eagle mentor, you couldn't have been better. Every time I came seeking advice or direction, you were happy to guide me. You were never too overpowering, and your straightforward and logical thinking truly helped clear things up for me. Every time I met with you to talk about the project or my merit badge agenda I walked away with new inspiration and [a] concrete idea of what to do next. You showed me how to approach projects and how to express my ideas on paper, and you did it in a way that let me discover my own way of doing things. After revising my project proposal a few times with you I was able to remember the advice you gave me when I wrote up my project summary, so I know that I gained a substantial amount of information and experience because of you. In the short length of time we worked together I feel that I have gained a great deal of knowledge and skills from you that have and will be very useful to me, and that is why I am giving you my mentorin pin. Thank you, Mr. Gagnon, for your insight and wisdom."
