Why Train With Us 

The Power of Action Personal Training

No matter your goals—no matter your hang-ups, for that matter—you’ll get the personalized attention that’s needed to not just jumpstart your new lifestyle but sustain it. No two bodies are alike, so no two exercise programs or diets should be entirely the same, either. We employ the full scope of techniques and the latest research to drive decisions that are designed to dramatically improve your quality of life.

Todd Soura

Owner

Learn more about Todd

Todd founded Action Personal Training 15 years ago. He’s been a personal trainer for the last 25 years, certified by the Aerobic & Fitness Association of America. A student of exercise and nutrition, he’s learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all training regimen. Though, regardless of the motivation, we all share a common goal. “Exercise isn’t meant to help you live longer,” he says. “It’s mean to help you live better.” And a big part in getting there is believing that every step (or rep) counts. “When I’m grinding through my own workouts, I hear Mickey’s voice from the Rockymovies in the back of my head saying, ‘Get up, Rock! Get up!’ As long as I gave it everything I had, I’m never disappointed. And I expect the same of my clients. Every time out doesn’t need to be a PR. It just needs to be your personal best for that particular moment.” A couple of little-known facts about Todd: He studied physics and finance, even had a Series 6 license at one point. He married his high school sweetheart. They’ve been together for 30 years, married for 20. And he describes himself as a “Christmas Light Extremist.” He and his family spend a full month stringing lights everywhere. And still, somehow, his neighbors adore him.

Walt’s led a number of our boot camps. He’s also trained the St. Joseph’s women’s lacrosse team, the Bucks County Sewer and Water Authority, and the Fort Washington and Abington fire departments. A stickler for technique, he’s partial to the intensity (and calorie-burn) of interval training. Come Sunday afternoon, he’ll be luring his three kids outside with some sort of adventure.

Lisa Wagner

Trainer

Learn more about Lisa

Lisa entered personal training a couple of years ago, after growing up as a competitive gymnast and working as a gymnastics instructor and physical education teacher for over 20 years. Her background’s provided her with a unique perspective on resiliency. “I’m thankful that I can run, jump, and exercise,” she says. “There have been times in my life when I couldn’t, and I try to reconnect with those feelings when my energy’s low or my clients need a little motivation.”

Helen Hennessy

Trainer

Learn more about Helen

I have been a fitness professional since 1988. My training philosophy is to really listen to the clients goals, time schedule, limitations and exercise tolerance and then design a program that will give them the tools to succeed. It is important to be inspired to push yourself out of your comfort zone, but to do so in a safe and effective manner. That is where I come in. With a consistent exercise program and sound nutritional advice, together we will reach those goals! I use a variety of modalities including yoga, HIIT (high intensity interval training), free weights, calisthenics, and more. Not only does this approach tone and shape the body, but keeps the mind from getting bored!
