I’ve been training with Joe & Emily for few months, and I can’t recommend them enough! They’ve truly helped me improve my fitness and build strength. They are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly motivating and supportive. The positive energy and encouragement during each session make it a fun and rewarding experience. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress, Joe & Emily are it!

Joe and Emily have been Great!!! They have been patient and really tried to work with my schedule. Just what I needed to start the process of getting into shape and eating right. I highly recommend!!!

15:48 22 Jan 25

Emily and Joe are great! They have given me a way to get back into my fitness after 11 years with no judgement and the knowledge to help me push but also not too much to injure myself! They have given me my life back! Sounds crazy but I've been trying for years and they have created the exact situation I needed to help me love fitness again!

Emily is not only an incredible training coach but also such a joy to be around! She’s so easy to talk to and genuinely makes your time at the gym enjoyable and motivating. Her positive energy and supportive attitude make every workout feel worth showing up for. Let’s not forget about Joe—he’s always in your corner, cheering you on every step of the way, no matter what your goals are. Together, they create an atmosphere where you feel supported, encouraged, and ready to crush your fitness journey!

If you are looking for personal trainers who will hold you accountable, help you not only achieve your goals but give you the spark to want to do it for yourself and by yourself...all while making it fun...look no further. Joe and Emily are amazing. Their knowledge is incredible but what's better is how they break it down and make it make sense for the average person who lives a busy life. You can't go wrong with Build and Burn/Joe and Emily 💪

I cannot recommend Build and Burn Fitness enough! Emily and Joe are phenomenal trainers who bring professionalism, genuine care, and unwavering support to every session. They are always available to answer my questions and have truly become my biggest cheerleaders on my fitness journey.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Emily and Joe since 2015, when we were all at Lock Haven University. Watching them grow and build their business into what it is today has been an absolute honor. Their kindness, dedication, and passion for helping their clients are evident in everything they do.

Now, as one of their clients, I can confidently say they’ve been instrumental in helping me navigate my fitness goals, struggles, and achievements. After my lacrosse career, I turned to the gym as my physical fitness outlet. While I had some knowledge, I needed guidance to refine my approach and truly maximize my efforts. With Emily and Joe by my side, I’ve not only progressed but also achieved goals I didn’t think were possible.

If you’re looking for trainers who truly care and have the expertise to help you succeed, Emily and Joe at Build and Burn Fitness are the perfect team. I’m so grateful for their support and can’t wait to continue this journey with them!

Love these guys. I first met Joe through my wife, who trained with him for over a year. She saw amazing results after working with Joe and Ive personally seen multiple clients of his make stunning changes in their fitness and overall health. More than simply a personal trainer. They do it all. They'll get your diet on track, teach you how to exercise properly, and personally coach you through the tracking of your progress and help keep you motivated. The proof is on the pudding. Joe and Emily are both beasts. They know what they're doing.
