"Joe was my trainer growing up at a young age all the way through high school. He’s a great trainer and legitimately cares about you. He invited me to check out his facility and it’s awesome. It has everything you need to achieve all of your goals. Without having Joe as my trainer growing up, I wouldn’t be the professional athlete I am today."

"I started training with Joe in October of 2017. I’m in my 60’s, was overweight and had some health issues. His nutrition and exercise advise literally saved my life. I had never stayed faithful to training before. He assured me that if I followed his lead, I’d lose the weight and be healthier.... and he was right. I am down 35 lbs... and going for at least another 35 more. As far as I am concerned, there is NO ONE who trains like Joe and gets the results he does. So happy to have gotten healthy."

"I worked with Joe for years and can without a doubt say that he is a trainer that invests in you more than just coming in a couple times a week to work out. Whether it be needing to be pushed to your limits, helped with rehab of an injury, nutrition information and dietary help or many of the other things athletes go through Joe will devote his time to you to make sure you reach the level of excellence he knows that you can achieve. Knowing Joe on a personal level for years has been great and I couldn't be happier that he has his own place to do what he loves now. I highly recommend this place for anybody looking not only to take themselves to the next level, but to be driven even further then they thought possible."

"Joe Demarco transforms athletic ability into the next level. His knowledge and professional experience does not only prepare athletes physically but mentally. Ranging from calisthenics to weight lifting, joe’s knowledge outclasses any trainer in the Tri-State. If you are looking for a trainer with not only the knowledge but genuinely cares about your well-being, Joe is hands down the trainer for you."

"I had the pleasure of not only being trained by joe but also being his assistant for a couple years. I got to see how he professionally handles his clients, providing them with the best possible advice and workouts to help them give their best performance both physically and mentally. I personally owe a lot to Joe’s training and teachings. From taking my senior football career to the next level, earning the honor of being named first team all county, to business lessons that i still use everyday at work. Don’t go guessing if your going to get the right service you need, do it right the first time and call Joe."

"Joe Demarco trains my 3 boys. My 2 older boys are going to Villanova to play football on scholarship. Joe's knowledge of strength & speed training along with his way of motivating my boys was a key reason for their success. Highly recommend him!"

"Joe Demarco is the best trainer in the area. He worked with our football team all summer and pushed us to be in the best shape of our lives. I give him a lot of the credit of the success we had in the season. No better trainer out there."

"Joe does a great job specializing and customizing training programs for athletes of all ages, as well as for a wide variety of sports. Not only was the training regimen fantastic, challenging, and competitive but the knowledge I gained in regards to technique and form I still use to this day (10+ years later!) to make sure I am getting the absolute most out of my workouts now. In addition, Joe has his athletes keep a food log to make sure the results are maximized from hours of hard work in the gym. Again, a tool I still use to this day. A great investment for the present, as well as the future!"

"I came to the Steinert baseball program in the winter of ‘03-‘04. This man said, “give me your 100% commitment and I will help you get the the state championship. He knew we were still in pain from the passing of a teammate the previous Year during our state title run. He took that pain and turned it into fuel for the fire. He kept our bodies and our minds focused on reaching the pinnacle of our sport. We reached the state title but lost. That does not take away from how Joe prepared us for the road we traveled. That ‘04 team was a bunch of MONSTERS and Joe was a huge part of the success that we had on and off the field. Congratulations on your continued success though out the state."

"There’s too many stories to include in here, but i’d have to say my absolute favorite thing about DTS would have to be seeing people come in and watching Joe help them transform not only physically but also mentally. The big man man taught me how much confidence is built through hard work among many other lessons. It is truly an environment that promotes growth and aspiring to be your best self. Here’s to another 25 years!"

"Thank you for the tag Joe. If anyone wants to know what Joe can do for you or your kid just look at his clientele. It's not uncommon to be working out with high caliber college, and professional athletes. I can personally say that I've seen Joe take average athletes and turn them into something special, including myself. Joe has been a great role model for a generation of kids that were committed to getting better everyday both physically, and mentally. More so than being a great trainer, Joe is a honest man with integrity and commitment to getting the best out of his clients day in and day out. We all learned a lot from Joe and the things I learned from him the most don't include weights. Cheers to 25 and 50!"

Joey D gets it!"

"I remember training for the combines until I could barely stand then we ran 40 yd dashes. I went from a 4.5 to a 4.37. My dog I will never forget those days. Not only a great trainer but a great friend."

"Joe was always there for me and helped me grow stronger mentally and physically. He was there for me when things weren’t always going great, but made sure I pushed through and reached my goals. He was constantly pushing and motivating me to do my best."

"I have now known Joe for over 10 years. When my brother and I first met Joe we were skinny teenagers looking for the opportunity to grow as athletes. Joe instilled the confidence in my brothers and I that we can achieve our goals through work, very hard work. Over time Joe helped me achieve my goal of playing division 1 football.. 4 years of HS training And 50+ pounds later Joe made me not only significantly bigger, but faster and stronger. Quit playing yourself, there is no one better in the area when it comes to producing RESULTS."

"I met Joey 17 years ago when I was training for football in HS and College. Joe is one of the last old school Italians not in training style but demeanor, he genuinely cares about you as a person but will smack the s*** out of you when you need it. He totally revamped my body at 17 and got me ready to play D-1 ball. One of the most valuable lessons I learned from Joe is there are more gears the body can operate on. Once Joey pushed me pass this threshold I was hooked at 6'3" 327lbs I ran 4.9 40, bench 470max 225 29 reps, squat 550, vert. 30 inches. If you are a HS athlete and looking to take your game to the next level and legitimately ready to work in and out of the gym, contact Joe and ask him for the Holy Grail!"
