"Between my professional life and raising two kids, I never made time for fitness nor had much passion for it. I have been training at Custom Fitness for 18 months and it is terrific. I have more energy and am in much better shape. I never thought I would be looking forward to running and working out!”

Merit Cudkowicz, M.D.

Neurologist

Massachusetts General Hospital

"I have been a client since 1999. Technique is critical to Jeff's program and before long I saw tangible results and was amazed. I have never been in better shape in my life. Our 6am workouts are something I really look forward to, mostly because I trust Jeff's professional knowledge, his genuine concern for my well-being and his constant encouragement to continue my fitness commitment and progress."
Stephen Wagner
Senior Partner
Deloitte

"This may be the best thing I've ever done for myself. I thought I was pretty limited because of several sports injuries, but the trainers at Custom Fitness really know their stuff and designed a great program for me. I love watching and feeling my body get stronger. And healthier. I feel great!"

Liz Reisberg

Research Assistant

Boston College

"I have always wanted to join a Gym, but I have to say, joining with Custom Fitness is the best thing I have done for myself. I am a mother of four very active children, and it is almost impossible to get AWAY for myself. What I like the most about this program is that I feel like I am in my own home exercising in my "own world" and it’s very comfortable. My personal trainer is wonderful. She really motivates me, which makes me more enthusiastic about exercising."

Susan Buchan

Medical Secretary

Brigham and Women's Hospital

"I have been through a number of programs in pursuit of my goals of fitness and have fallen short each time. Until now. I can emphatically state that Jeff's guidance has changed my life."
Aaron Nelson, PhD.
Director of Neuropsychology
Brigham and Women's Hospital

"I decided to join Custom Fitness because it was so convenient to work, open 24-hours a day, and doesn't feel intimidating like most gyms. I also have a couple of injuries that I'm recovering from. My trainer is wonderful and continually challenges me with progressively difficult workouts that still stay within my abililty level."

Rachel Vaughan
CT Technologist
Brigham and Women's Hospital

“I always found it difficult to make time to go to a gym. I made excuses not to go every day. And then on my 40th birthday, I found myself looking in the mirror wondering how I let myself get this way. I had decided then that I needed to make a change. I found Custom Fitness to be comfortable and helpful. I now look forward to making the time for my workouts at Custom Fitness. I can’t turn back time but I can change the future of my health.”

Kenneth Trueherz

Real Estate Developer, Beacon Hill

"As a partner in the Institutional Finance Department of Day, Berry & Howard, I often find myself under a great deal of stress. Jeff's incorporation of "mind-body" technique permits achievement of whatever task is at hand with seemingly little exertion. I find that I am more relaxed and energetic after my workout than when I entered Jeff's studios."
Nancy Cullen, Esq.
Partner

"Custom Fitness is changing my life for the better.  I was diagnosed with Fybromyalgia about a year ago.  I had tried all sorts of medication and lifestyle changes, but was still in a lot of pain and had very low engergy.  In just 3 months working with Tom Halton, I've seen a remarkable difference in the way I feel. Already, I have more energy and as time goes on, I have fewer and fewer "pain days".  I am optimistic about my health for the first time in a long time, and I believe I will continue to improve and become healthier and more engergetic.”

Deborah Fagone

Director of Sales Operations, Arlington

"As the owner of a large dental practice and a mother of two young children it was difficult to fit exercise into my life. Custom Fitness offers a unique private setting and approach to personal training. Jeff's expertise and flexibility to accommodate my hectic schedule has truly allowed me to meet my fitness goals and reduce the stress in my life."
Anna M. Berik, D.M.D.
Cosmetic/General Dentist
Newton Dental Associates

"As a mother of 3 children with an unpredictable work schedule, it was difficult to fit exercise into my life. Custom Fitness offers personalized and flexible workouts in a totally private exercise studio, which is something that I could not find anywhere else in Boston. Jeff is a great motivator. He is supportive and knowledgeable and as a result he has truly allowed me to meet my fitness goals. Working with Jeff has changed my body. Nothing else has worked for me. That is why Jeff has a long list of dedicated clients."
Molly Silver
Mother of 3, Brookline

"I have found my experience at Custom Fitness to be the best. Their One-On-One fitness studios are a welcome change from a health club. What I appreciate is that the trainers don't push you past a certain level. If I, as a 65 year-old person, have any problems or pains on a particular day, they are sensitive to this and are quick to defer any exercise that would make it worse or painful."
J. Linzee Coolidge
Foundation Manager

"Every once in a while you come across someone who makes a difference. Jeff Rutstein is one such person. I am free, for the first time in months, from back pain. I am convinced that Jeff's tutelage as my personal trainer is responsible. He has also changed the way in which I will exercise for the rest of my life."
Terence Keane, PhD.
Professor and Vice Chairman
Boston University School of Medicine

"I have been through the run of the mill "gym mills" where you receive no guidance, have to stand and wait for the machines and as a result become frustrated and quit. Jeff's approach is both refreshing and innovative and conducive to maintaining a lifelong program of physical fitness."
George Dorsett
Special Agent
U.S. Department of Justice

"I have been working with Jeff three days a week for over one year, and can say unequivocally that this experience has had a lasting impact on my life. His approach is more conducive to developing a lasting and sustainable fitness program. Jeff's gym has a relaxed, personal feeling that removes the anxieties and pressures typically associated with large clubs."
Darcey Dakers
Vice President, Customer Segment Marketing
Fidelity Investments

"Jeff's training, unlike others I have tried, has been completely attuned to my individual needs. His studios are comfortable, convenient, and most importantly, private. Jeff's knowledge, competence and gentle encouragement has helped me feel stronger and more successful than I ever have been in my life."
Ellen Rottersmann, LICSW
Fenway Community Health

"Having joined many gyms and succeeded nowhere, I have found my first positive experience with exercise. Jeff has the ability to nurture, encourage and tap into one's psyche, as nobody in health clubs could achieve."
Rachel Goldberg
Financial Consultant
Palladian Mortgage Company

"This unique program reduces stress and anxiety, helps to decrease depression, can improve self-esteem and help create a positive body image. He provides a safe inclusive environment, encouragement, and sets standards based on each individual's goals, capabilities, and limitations."
Kenneth J. Sklar, LICSW, EdD.
Executive Director of Psychiatric Services
Boston Regional Medical Center

"As a business woman with a very demanding work schedule, coupled with a long history of complex medical problems, my bi-weekly visits with Jeff have been invaluable in providing a program which addresses both the need to deal with the demands and stresses of running an organization, as well as the need to strengthen my body without doing any additional physical harm."
Ronny Mosston
Chief Operating Officer
Sterling Office Services

"The program that Jeff developed for me has changed the way I feel and care about myself. At the time that I began working with Jeff, I had already tried and failed at a number of 'personal' programs; his is the only one that I have stayed with consistently."
Paul Cavalli
Business Consultant, Back Bay

"During this period of personal training with Jeff, I have met and exceeded a number of my objectives. Currently I am free of lower back pain. Renewed and growing energy are evident to me as I go about my normal work schedule. During this time, my blood cholesterol has been reduced to below 200 mg/dl for the first time in over four years."
Sylvester Ingeme
Business Manager
Chelmsford Public Schools

"Jeff Rutstein of Custom Fitness is the main element in my program to stave off old age. His weight lifting and fitness program is well planned, tailor made to every ability level, and enjoyable. I actually look forward to our Tuesday morning workouts."
Crystal Gandrud
Business Consultant

"Jeff has taught me the importance of understanding how and why muscles benefit from exercise and the relationship between one's physical and mental 'fitness' or well-being."
Pamela E. Melton, Esq.

"It is his close working relationship with his public that is special. His gym has a comfortable, personal feeling, and at the same time offers the best in expert training and equipment."
Cha-Chi Loprete
Promotions Director
WBCN

"Jeff is 'head and shoulders' above the rest. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge and wisdom about what your body can and cannot do."
Joanne Victoria
Musician

"His fresh approach and styles of breathing skills center around the mind and body concept. I am lifting more frequently and making much greater progress."
