I thought the Kick Start Program was great! You put together and outstanding 10 day program. The exercises were very challenging, but you managed to make it fun, you were very motivational and we all had great results. You are a very good trainer and I know I wouldn’t have achieved the results I did without you. This program has gotten me back on track to exercising every day and really eating healthy. Thank you for all your time and your commitment to this program. I really loved it and can’t wait to exercise with you again!!!! – Kick Start Program, Fit Express Class Participant
​Blake motivated me to get healthy and in shape the right way! From his sense of humor to his “is your face” attitude there’s nothing not to love about him. I have never dieted before or kept up with a workout. He was helpful with suggesting different recipes and at home exercise ideas! He educated all of us and took time out of his busy schedule to help out! I would highly recommend him for any kind of personal training or just getting the motivation you need! – Kick Start Program, Fit Express, Ab Attack Class Participant
I started working with Blake as an alternative to a traditional physical therapy program. Blake was able to develop a fantastic program for my primary concerns as well as a comprehensive total body workout. The sessions are demanding, yet rewarding. You can really feel yourself getting stronger everyday. Overall, the sports performance program has been great and I will be coming back for any further physical therapy needs.

I strongly recommend Dr. Matthew McDonnell and University Orthopedics Associates. Due to a large herniated disc in my lower back, I was in excruciating pain and could barely walk, but immediately after surgery, I was able to walk and move on with my life free of pain. I was incredibly pleased with the professionalism and personal care I received from Dr. McDonnell throughout the entire ordeal.
Facing potential spine surgery, I oped to give physical therapy a try first, knowing very well it might not provide the results I wanted. My therapist Kristine did my evaluation and put together a program for use at UOA and at home. It was difficult at times but Kristine encouraged me to stick with it and I’m so glad I did. After 4 weeks I noticed an improvement; I had less pain doing my normal activities and so we extended the therapy to 6 more weeks. I’ve since returned to playing golf and other activities with minimal pain afterwards. I continue to use her therapy program at a local fitness center and at home. I would not hesitate to use UOA again and recommend them to anyone.
UOA was outstanding from my first consultation visit to surgery, and throughout my time at physical therapy. They made what originally was a painful experience a very comfortable road to recovery.
I have chronic back problems and was referred to UOA for diagnosis. The doctor’s diagnosis prescribed PT and I chose UOA. I was more than pleased with the results. My therapist gave me a regimen that worked wonders. Together with the expert care and attention, I feel that I am back to normal. My golf game even improved! Thank you Kristine, and your helpers (Erin).
Kristine is an excellent physical therapist. She has knowledge of her subject. Just as important is her caring ways and her willingness to listen to her clients. I would recommend her to anyone and was pleased with her service. She helped me to achieve my goals.
“I work with doctors all day long and I have never met a doctor like him. He connects with you on a personal level and never makes you feel like you are being rushed. When you are sending your child into not one, but two surgeries you want to make sure you trust the doctor. I trusted him immediately which says a lot about his character.”
I would like to take this opportunity to thank first of all, Dr. James Monica and his team, who did an excellent job on my shoulder surgery, and the whole physical therapy staff for making me feel at home and always welcomed during my whole physical therapy regimen. My therapist was Neveen – who gave me 100% of her time every session I spent with her. She pushed me to the limits, but was well worth the pain! It’s been almost two years since my rehab, but I can assure you that I am 100% back to my normal routine! I want to thank each and everyone at UOA – you guys are awesome! Definitely my #1 place for rehab!
