Ive danced my whole life. But, it came at a cost: five surgeries on my knees. When I first approached Sol with my fitness and wellness goals, we set a timeline and plan. In a short period of time, I gained significant strength, built muscle back into my legs and minimized the pain in my knees. As a model and dancer, fitness is very important. Thank you, Sol!

I have been training with Sõl in fitness for a year and half and have been with him even longer as a music student. Sõl is an excellent musician and has taught me how to play guitar as well as many things about music. He understands the importance of allowing a student to learn in his or her own way and encourages his students to pursue their own musical styles and interests. Even though he allows them to go where they want musically, he still manages to teach them a bit of music theory along the way. In terms of fitness, Sõl knows a lot. What he knows comes from extensive research and personal experience. As someone who has lost over 100 pounds with Sõl and his diet plan, I can personally attest to its efficacy. What is even better is that Sõl himself can attest to it, as he has used to be overweight as well. Knowing that he overcame the same thing that I was going through and understood what it was like to be the big guy helped a lot. I had tried other diets and exercise plans, but none of it worked for me. Now, I am currently working on joining the Marine Corps, which had always been something that I wanted to do, but gave up on because I thought I would never be in good enough shape to do it. I can honestly say that Sõl has helped change and shape my life for the better.

When I started with Sol Perry I had high cholesterol and several other laboratory tests that were not normal. After being on several diet plans and trying numerous exercise regimens, I still could not lose the excess weight after my pregnancy. I thought I was eating healthy and doing everything that was right. My first visit proved me wrong. I was actually eating everything I shouldnt and my choice in exercise was hindering my weight loss. He is not only an amazing trainer, he teaches you proper nutrition, supplements to aid in your goals, and is your support system throughout your journey. In just a few months I lost a significant amount of body fat, gained lean muscle, and had more energy. All of my laboratory tests are now normal. The passion and dedication he expresses has encouraged me to pursue fitness to a greater level. His knowledge doesnt stop at fitness. He is also a very talented musician and passes on that knowledge to his music students. I would highly recommend Sol Perry to anyone thats ready for a healthy lifestyle.

AMANDA AND SOL ARE AMAZING!!! FITNESS COACH DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THESE TWO PEOPLE. THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT SETTING AND SURPASSING GOALS! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

I am extremely happy with my experience at Sol Perry Music and Fitness. Sol has given me the tools I need to live a healthy lifestyle. Training with Sol is always effective and efficient. He tailors each workout specifically for his clients according to their lifestyle, abilities and personal goals. He realizes that every body is different. I am a group fitness instructor and a member at the gym I work at. I could go to a gym by myself everyday and I know I would never get the same results I have with Sol. He is there every step of the way. Guiding me, correcting my form, and making sure I do not injure myself. I would and always do recommend Sol Perry Music and Fitness to anyone and everyone!

Before I started working out with Sol my health was in grave danger. I was suffering from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a high body fat %. Within only a few months of working with Sol I’ve gained knowledge of the proper form & technique as well as proper nutrition. Working out with Sol has instilled in me the confidence & discipline I need to continue to improve myself through comprehensive nutrition and physical activity. Just 4 months into the program and I’m no longer on blood pressure medicine, I’ve lost 20+lbs, and I feel GREAT! Now I am more aware of what it takes to maintain a healthy body and a healthy life style.

Ive been on Sols program for a little over a month and have already seen some eye opening results. Ive been able to drop 23lbs and 3 inches off of my waistline. Not only is Sol a passionate and motivational health coach, he is also a living example that his diet program works.Sol offers the customer a range of options that can be tailored to the individuals needs and budget.I look forward to continuing my work with Sol for many months to come.

I am on day 13 with Sol Perry Fitness. My daughter loves me and wanted to see me improve my health. She gave me 5 weeks training at Sol Fitness as a 51st birthday gift. I can honestly say at first I was apprehension. I’ve gained 40lbs over the past 2 years and very seldom exercise. It was difficult to be weighed and measured for the 1st time, Sol helped me relax and was not condescending at all. Now for the good part, as each day goes by I feel physically and mentally better. I am losing weight and becoming more mobile. Sol has a real life understanding of what it feels like and you can see he truly enjoys helping others reach their goals. I would definitely recommend Sol Perry Fitness regardless of how overwhelmed you feel. For the first time in a while, I am looking forward to summer and hiking with my 3 grandchildren.

I am so impressed with the knowledge and atmosphere of Sol Perry Fitness. I had never been to a gym in my life but after turning 40 I was starting to feel my age. I really wasnt sure what to expect but knew I needed help-I definitely came to the right place! Sol has dedicated himself to not just lifting weights but to complete nutrition for both mind and body. He taught me that I was literally killing myself with what I thought was a healthy diet. The changes to my body and well being are truly amazing. If youre looking to cut through all the hype and see real results than look no further than Sol Perry Fitness-Theres a reason why hes voted the best trainer in Louisville year after year!

If you have Diastasis Recti from pregnancy stop right now and call Amanda!!! After carrying twins, my abdominal muscles were 4-4.5 finger widths apart. I was told I would need surgery to make a significant difference. Amanda did the research and came up with a plan for me (which I followed) and within 5 weeks, I was measuring 1-1.5 finger widths apart. Huge improvement without surgery!I was not their typical client and had a lot of hormonal issues preventing me from losing weight. I trained for several months before the weight started coming off with some hormonal correction. I wasnt starting at zero... It took a few months for me to even rebuild my strength and get to that point.Amanda supported the decisions I made for myself medically to get my hormones in check which made all the difference. She was invested in me and my success and she was as happy as I was, when all our hard work started paying off!After my husband and I finished 10 months of training with Sol and Amanda, we asked them to put personal workouts together for each of us to use 3 days a week at the gym. That has been crucial to my success. I still have their guidance even when theyre not there.Sol and Amanda are great trainers, but theyre great people, too. Theyre real and they know what it is to have health and weight challenges. They lived it. I cant recommend them highly enough.

Sol Perry and the Sol food diet have changed my life. Im healthier then before.. I also exercise regularly. It definitely is a life style change. Sol is there to guide you every step of the way and he modifies the program to everyones own needs. Not to mention.. He is a great personal trainer too!!!. I highly recommend his program. It will change you for a happy/ healthier life.

My name is Katie Barnes, I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been and in the best shape of my life thanks to Sõl Perry. Here’s a little bit about my journey with Sol.I first met Sol in the fall of 2016. Sol is a regular at the coffee shop that I manage, so we would often talk about health and nutrition during many of his visits. The more I learned about Sol’s health and fitness journey the more intrigued I became. Many of you know his story, and are aware of the amount of adversity he overcame in his pursuit of exceptional health. His story is inspirational to say the least. But more than anything, his story instilled a sense of trust within me that when it came to overall health and fitness, Sol knew what he was talking about. He has spent years “walking the walk,” not just playing the part of “meathead trainer.”Initially, I was reluctant to join Sol Perry’s fitness family for a few reasons. First and foremost, I thought of myself as a healthy individual and a relatively experienced “gym-person.” I knew more than most did people about nutrition, and had been on several different training programs that had yielded decent results in the past. So, why did I need a trainer?What I love most about working with Sol, is that he is not simply a trainer. He’s a health coach first and foremost and takes a much more holistic approach to coaching each of his clients. He makes it clear that physical fitness, while a key piece in the puzzle of ultimate health, is not the only goal. His knowledge of nutrition, anatomy, endocrinology, supplementation and physical rehabilitation far exceeds that of your average “personal trainer.” He encourages his clients to learn about their bodies, and what techniques work best for them. There is no one size fits all program with Sol. It was this key distinction between Sol and every other trainer I knew, that convinced me he would take my health as seriously as I did. I believed he could help me reach a new level of health that I had never been able to achieve on my own. But first, I had to get honest with myself about a few things.I had to admit, that on my own, I really didn’t know how to reach the level of health and physical fitness that I had been longing for. I had struggled with an eating disorder in the past, and still had difficulty establishing a healthy relationship with food and my self-image. I was still battling inflammation in my body due to food sensitivities and inadequate supplementation. I wasn’t as lean as I felt like I should be. I had severe shoulder dysfunction from an injury I sustained in high school, and I lacked the energy and vitality that I though a young woman my age should have. When I shared my struggles with Sol he said he was confident that we could drastically improve my situation, and after setting a serious list of goals he told me, “WE CAN DO THIS!”Fast forward to now, after 6 months of working with Sol, WE DID IT. I have no pain in my right shoulder and have more mobility than I’ve had in the last 7 years. I can actually spike in volleyball again! The inflammation in my body is virtually non-existent with proper diet and supplementation. I have lost 12.5 inches off my entire body, and am getting closer and closer to my goal of 19% body fat. I see food as fuel and nourishment, not “good” or “bad” foods. I crave the food that will make my body feel good and perform well, not just what satiates my crave-monster brain. I have more energy than I did when I was 16 and a greater level of confidence than I’ve ever had in my life. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Sol Perry as a trainer, health coach, therapist and friend. I’m excited to be continuing my work with Sol as we set even bigger goals for 2018! BRING IT ON!

Its rare in the world of fitness that you find someone who is knowledgeable in fitness, diet and coaching. Someone who has compassion for their clients and not just trying to sell products and services! Sõl Perry is the real deal having himself lived in the over-weight and continually misleding world of fitness. He cuts through the hype, fads, propaganda and the just plain wrong data to provide you what you need to succeed in a personalized plan.

Absolutely The Best Fitness Trainers Pesonal / Professional !!!! Great Experience

Best trainer around period. Helped me lose 40lbs and armed me with the knowledge to keep it off.

Sol is great at what he dose!! He really cares about his clients and wants nothing more then to help us be successful in life and reach our goals. Cant go wrong with his diet plan it works!!

Sõl is not a personal trainer, he is a genius that takes your inner voice, affirms it, and keeps you true to yourself! Anyone can coach you on lifting weights, make you sweat, build muscles and help you lose weight.If youre looking for a special diet and need to be ripped in 2 weeks, Sõl is not your guy. If you want to learn what makes your body, mind and spirit work together like a well tuned machine.....Sõls your man! The reviews dont lie, hes the real deal. No fluff, no gimmicks, just Sõl!

As a high intensity tennis player (Top 20 in state) I didnt need a trainer to work my body till it fell apart, I needed a trainer to build me up. In my experience, Sõl is a well rounded fitness expert who can simultaneously act as a physical therapist, personal trainer, and nutritionist. All of which are critical to a healthy life. More specifically, for my athletics, a critical element of his training scheme for me has been his adversity to pain of any kind. When pain begins, all of Sõl’s talents and resources can be quickly diverted to end it as quickly as possible, which has greatly reduced my off court time for injuries. And when pain stops, he resumes fitness plans customized to meet the needs of my sport and body. I would recommend him to any fellow athlete or anyone looking to improve their health and wellness should consider Sõl Perry. He is as much a health coach as trainer and make you feel comfortable no matter your starting point.

There arent enough good things to say about Sol Perry Music and Fitness. I have been with Sol for 4 months now and have gained confidence and lost a lot of excess weight I was carrying around. The personal attention is what separates Sol Perry training from your average gym training. He truly is invested in each of his clients. #solperryforlife

I am 41 have been seeing Sol and Amanda for a little over 2 years. When I started seeing him I could not even bend over to put my socks on due to a pinch nerve in my back. I had not done any exercise for 2 years before seeing him due to constant back pain. It is not an easy journey but with Sols help I can now happily bend over, work in the yard and do things with my 8 year old daughter that I could not do before. He is very patient and works with you and creates a program fit to your individual needs. Being previously overweight himself gives him a fantastic understanding of what you are going through. He eases your into fitness. Do not think you will go in the first day and be expected to do 100 burpees and 25 pushups. You will be weighed and measured which is not fun, but he starts out slow and the goals set are achievable. Over the past 2 years I have messed up my knee, my ankle, had some emotional low points and had sciatic nerve issues. He always finds a way to work around any issue and gave me exercises to relieve the pain. His knowledge of the body and nutrition is amazing. I cant say enough good things about Sol. He changed my life for the better.

I have known Sõl for about 12 or 13 years now as I was one of his music students back in the good old days of P.M.C.! I guess you could say I was an “enabler” to his unhealthy lifestyle back then by bringing him chinese food (with a large soda) every other week. Fast forward to now & I am very impressed at how far he has come since those days not only with his health but also other aspects of his life.I “reunited” with Sõl in May of this year. After having 2 kids and wanting to get rid of my “mom bod” i contacted him and right away got to working on my overall health & fitness.I have lost inches off of my body but even more important than that, I have gained knowledge of nutrition that not only is beneficial to me but also my family. His holistic approach to health is eye opening & not something you could get from a gym membership. I still struggle with my eating habits & trying to feed my family healthy meals but him & amanda are both there to help guide me every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them if you are trying to get your body in check while also learning the “hacks” to healthy living.

Sõl Perry. What can I say.Ill tell you all the generic stuff -hes good at what he does, he creates results, hes professional. Yadayadayada.And guess what, thats all quite true. Im an Olympic Performance Coach and I can tell when someone is the real deal.BUT, thats not why I think Sõl Perry is so special and deserves your utmost confidence and respect.No. The reason for THAT, why he is the one go-to-guy, the one trainer to trust is because he is 100% genuine, someone who will do his best to help you change your life. Like he changed his.Because this guy has faced so many challenges -and hes still facing them, challenges hat would break most but the best of us. The way he takes care of sick and disabled persons, the way he cares for his family is simply admirable.And instead of becoming bitter, all this seems to just make him a better person; who cares for his friends and clients like no-one else that I know.If youre looking for someone to help you turn around your life -health, fitness, weight loss, etc- he not only knows how to do this right, he also will do his very best to genuinely help you make it a reality.Id recommend him any time, any place, without hesitation.Mark Kislich

Sol is an excellent trainer and an excellent person if you want honest, healthy results sol is the way to go he cuts the bullshit you have to deal with when shopping for healthy foods because of how big food companies Jack up our food its hard to find good healthy food . Sol is great and will help you greatly along the process of becoming healthier and living a healthy lifestyle.

Im not one to write reviews, but I feel I need to share my experience with Sõl. Last year in October 2016 I twisted my back something aweful. It was so bad that I finally went to a doctor. That doctor sent me to a specialist. That specialist sent me for an MRI. Then the specialist sent me to another specialist. They send me for a CTscan and cortisone injection, then another MRI. They still couldnt figure out what was wrong. So they stuck me in physical therapy for 8 weeks. During all of this time, the only relief I had from the pain was taking muscle relaxers along with Tylenol and Advil all at the same time.Finally, my wife mentioned my problems to Sõl at one of her sessions. She trains with Amanda, Sõls wife. Sõl asked that I come see him for a session. So I went, because by now Im ready to try anything. My first workout with Sõl and he zoomed in on the problem areas and began tailoring a program specifically designed to get my back better. I am very happy to say that after a few weeks of sessions my pain was manageable without medication. After a few more I had full mobility back. And just recently we were actually able to start building my muscles to prevent future problems.I cant give a high enough review to thank Sõl for all the time and effort he has put in to my recovery.

I believe that your worst enemy in any difficult journey is yourself. Its easy to create excuses, its easy to make poor decisions and its easy to give up. Ive known Sõl for over 10 years, we shared a lot of good times during our time in the music industry. I consider him a close friend. But, the call to Sõl to make a positive change was one of the most difficult calls Ive had to make, ever to any friend.As a photographer, I have the amazing opportunity to travel the world and document cultural impact .Over a year ago, I learned of a potential project that would forever change my life. An expedition to climb the highest free standing mountain in the world; Mount Kilimanjaro, all in the name of charity for Tanzania, Africa.Every year, many people die on this mountain. Many people fail. Athletes and celebrities attempt every year, most dont make it past Kosovo Camp at 17,000 ft. Its a mountain the demands respect, time and a lot of will. You have to be fit, or you will die.With this knowledge, I was determined to meet my fitness and wellness goal. With the blueprint provided by Sõl, I lost 110 pounds and gained significant muscle mass. By the time my boots hit the base camp at Kilimanjaro, I was ready. I felt like I had prepared a lifetime for this adventure.We pushed through seven grueling days of long treks and acclimatization beginning at 3,000 feet all the way to 19,341 feet. We hiked from heavy rain forest to glacial rock at below-freezing temperatures. Being the expedition photographer, I had to work harder then everyone else. I had to set the pace, climb in front of the pack and always be two steps ahead. There were times I wanted to fall behind and just close my eyes, but I kept going.The altitude got the best of many, some had to be carried off the mountain on a stretcher. I focused on my pace, and took one small step at a time. I felt drugged and struggled for air. But, I kept going.At 6:55am on September 28th, I made the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. I have never been more fatigued in my life. I hadnt slept in over 24 hours. I was cold, crushed with a headache from hell, hallucinating and my body was wrecked, I make the executive decision to descend. Miraculously, I made a quick pace at a 5.5 hour, 22 mile decent, rather then the standard 8 hour decent. I did it all without supplemental oxygen or medication, which most people required. I was broken, but had accomplished what I set out to do; create beautiful imagery and lived to tell the story.I want to take this opportunity to thank Sõl and Amanda for welcoming me with open arms after that first phone call, a time at which I desperately needed help. I know for a fact that I would have died on that mountain if it werent for the guidance and preparation they both provided. I believe we are all climbing a mountain, its the daily things that will derail your progress, so dont give up. Just keep going and take trust in the knowledge youve been provided. It works.

I have been pretty good about working out regularly for the past 20 years. Ive even worked out with a few different trainers but I was still failing. Weight was creeping up at an average of 3 pounds or more per year. I only had some success losing weight around my 40th year but it was by getting completely obsessive about my eating (starving myself) and excessive working out. Something I could not sustain. My weight came back and went higher than my previous high point and so it continued even with my religion of getting myself to the gym.Working with Sol and Amanda has truly been a transformation process for me. I feel I am finally succeeding. The tools Ive learned to overcome challenges give me confidence I wont slip backwards again. I still have more to achieve but for the first time in years my blood pressure is healthy, I have so much more mobility than I thought possible, Ive lost inches all over and I feel and look so much better. I am dropping sizes! Im in my mid 50s and I feel better than I have in a couple of decades. Real change is about massive action. Ive had people ask me what Ive done and the first and primary step of my action plan was to start working with Sol. There really are so many different things Ive learned from Sol to help me on my path to improved health. He really caters to each individuals needs and issues of health to come up with the best strategies and I cant recommend him enough!

As 2016 rings in and the normal New Year’s resolutions are swirling around in everyone’s minds, it takes me back to the frustration that I felt nearly every day. I feel like I have tried so many diets with maybe good results for the first 2 weeks or month and then I would get tired of it and go back to my old ways. Even with Weight Watchers where I had some accountability, I would just quit going so I wouldn’t have to weigh in.I can’t tell you what a huge relief it is for me this year to not even have to think about that resolution. Why? Because I found Sol and Amanda Perry! I have been going to Sol and Amanda for a little over a year now, and it’s not just that I’ve lost some weight, which of course I have, but I just feel better and stronger. I actually want to go see them and when something happens and I can’t go, I really miss my workouts. If I’m out of town, I can even do Skype training to stay on track. I have never in my entire life “missed” being able to work out. It’s also the slow lifestyle changes that just seem to come about following the Sol Food diet and really just doing what they tell me to do. They just have a great knack for wading through all of the diet mumbo-jumbo and they give me real-life strategies that really work. And no, I’m not perfect at following it, but when that happens, Sol also has great strategies for getting right back on track again without losing progress.Honestly just having an expert trainer who is super compassionate because he has actually done the process himself really has made a huge difference for me and Sol and Amanda have really changed both mine and my husband’s lives. We both feel a lot better and can’t wait to continue this journey with Sol and Amanda, who we consider to be family now! Thanks, Sol and Amanda, for everything you do, you’re both amazing! Ricky and I are very excited to continue this journey in 2016!Jana Colter

Sõl Perry is one of the most able minds I know whenever it comes to fitness, training, and ensuring an overall healthy body. He has an extensive history with physician-backed research, trial and error with his own gains (or losses, if we’re talking fat), and ensuring that what he tells his clients is actually what needs to be practiced in order to see progress and reap the rewards. Not only does he guide you on your path to physical fitness through exercise, but he also tailors each individuals diet to ensure continued personal success. This diet, otherwise known as the SFD (Sõl Food Diet), will have you making leaps and bounds even in the first week. In two months, I personally guarantee that if you follow Sõls direction, you won’t even recognize yourself from the transformation.I am not speaking from just what I have seen; I am sharing my own personal experience, as I have trained with Sõl for almost two years now. Since the beginning of our relationship, I have been able to shed an astounding 60+ pounds of fat, and am continuing that success to this day.Do not be fooled by the gimmicks that flood this industry. If you are serious about changing your life, your health, and your happiness, Sõl Perry is the trainer you need to see.Steven Trentham, MBA
