Joel is the best of the best! Never in my life have I trained with someone as knowledgeable and helpful as Dr. Seedman.Not only is he kind, caring, supportive and knowledgeable he gets YOU RESULTS!He’s totally changed my body and mind for the better.I’ve never felt stronger, fitter, sexier, happier and more confident in my life and I give J all the credit.I’m forever grateful for his exceptional service and incredible insight and ability to push me to another level.Thank you Joel!

I have trained with other professional trainers in the past, but Joel is extraordinary . Why you may ask? He is extremely knowledgeable, very articulate with watching your form, it is never boring!! He challenges me beyond my expectations even when I want to quit. Joel has a great sense of humor and I always look forward to my workouts with him. I am 66 yrs old and have more balance, strength and energy! Thanks Joel, you are the best!

Doc Seedman currently trains my son who is a high school quarterback. His training during the year of 2020-2021 has been nothing short of extraordinary. He provides a full body analysis and program that is customized directly to my son’s current body changes, diet, and goals to enhance his on and off the field physical performance. It goes beyond that; due to his one on one training it has provided more confidence, maturity, and overall outward positivity to his personality. We would highly recommend Doc to any athlete or person who wants to work hard and see sustained results.

Joel is one of the best trainers I have ever trained with. I am a professional athlete and his approach is different than other trainers. So detailed, science approved and results speak fro it self 🔥! I also liked sport specific approach and adjustments that Joel made to my training if I had any aches or pains from previous injuries. Get you a workout with Joel and you will not want to train any other way 💪🏼✊🏼

Dr. Seedman’s approach to training is different, and his advanced professional studies show on his methodology, with a meticulous attention to detail, thorough evaluation and assessment to determine weak spots that may hinder progress, and a phased approach. My son has shown fantastic progress, he looks forward to the training sessions and is more motivated to work on his own too.

Joel is simply the best! I have struggled all of my life with flexibility due to neuromuscular issues. I had sought help from all sorts of medical doctors over many years and tried all kinds of alternative treatments to no avail. In 2019, I was in constant pain and couldn’t find any permanent relief or long-term fix. I had recently tried physical therapy (again) and the last doctor I saw recommended a kind of nerve surgery. One of the best days of my life was when I randomly stumbled upon Joel through an online search. After reading more about Dr. Joel Seedman including all of his degrees in the field of exercise science and kinesiology, I was skeptically optimistic. Fast forward a year and a half later, and Joel has changed my life! While I temporarily paused my training due to the covid pandemic, I have been able to maintain my exercise routine at home and remain fairly pain-free. I look forward to working again with Joel (hopefully very soon) and continue our journey. Joel, I am forever grateful to you!!!! Thank you!!

After training with Joel for almost a year, I see major changes in my bodys form and function. Joel gives me a unique plan each session along with his undivided attention. The way he blends science and practicality is amazing. Although he trains professional athletes, I feel no disfavor because of my age (over 60), my condition (MS, in a wheelchair), or my time/energy limits (once a week). I am truly blessed to be able to train with Joel.

Joel is very professional and knowledgeable in his training. I have personally trained with Joel for 2 off-seasons now, and I am continually pleased with the progress/results. Joel has helped in optimizing my performance in the gym which has directly affected my performance on the field. He is a trustworthy person who excels in what he does. I would recommend Joel to any professional athlete who is looking to increase his or her overall strength and performance while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Joel has been my coach for about 18 months now, and I can highly highly recommend him! He knowledge and creativity in strength and conditioning are the best in the nation, keeping my on my toes (not literally!) in every session. The variations of each exercise are always backed with with solid research, so you not only know what you are doing, but more importantly why. The highlight of my week is my session with Joel :o) love your work!

Within the first few minutes of interacting with Joel you will realize you are speaking to one of the most intellectual fitness professionals in the industry. Having worked with Joel as an athlete for almost three years, I can only remark positively on my experience. His ability to not only identify strengths and weaknesses, but communicate them in an understandable manner sets him apart from others. The progress I have made under his program have led me to refer several other athletes to him who may be struggling to break through in their respective events. It is very rare to find a trainer who goes above and beyond to research each and every sport, position, or event that he may need to know in order to create the best training program for that individual. It does not matter what sport you do, working with Joel will lead to massive improvements in your level of fitness and mastery of technique.Beyond his knowledge, Joel makes sure he cultivates meaningful relationships with all of his clients. It made for a more trusting and friendly trainer-athlete relationship which improved each session. Joel genuinely cares about each and every client he trains and it shows through is attention to detail and dedication to creating the most comfortable environment and productive training program he can. If you are looking for a professional who you can trust to take you to the next level in whatever goal you set for yourself, then there is no better person for the job than Joel.

I have known and worked with Joel for 11 years. He has given me all of the tools I need to stay fit for life. Unfortunately, we no longer live in the same city, but I try to meet with Joel at least once or twice a year for a tune up. Joel is intelligent, well educated and completely dedicated to his clients and his craft. If you are serious about your training, you will not find better.

Im writing this about my daughter, she plays high school softball, currently a junior, and injured her left knee 2.5 years ago. She had minor surgery and tried to rehab through the physical therapist at the surgery center, and again at another physical therapy center.Just would not heal and always in pain. I ran into Joel when he saw her in a brace trying to do an agility class with her ball team at his facility, introduced himself and spoke with me about the issue. I was very skeptical, had spent a lot of money and time with therapist up till this point, had all but given up hope. I thought I would give him a try, but had low expectations, considering all she had went through till this point. I will never forget what Joel said to me after evaluation her I can fix her, give me just a few weeks, and she will begin to see results . We saw Joel over the winter months, and when spring ball started she was back in the game, then played every varsity game in HS ball, no injury at all, and is now playing fall travel ball season, still strong. Actually roller skating again, and enjoying the things she used to. Oh, and did I mention, she is a catcher, and doing fine with that knee for 8 months now. I cant thank Joel enough, he did get my daughter back in the game, and did what he said he could do, I honestly cant believe it sometimes, but she is doing great. Thanks Joel, you dont know how lucky I feel to have bumped into you that night last November.

I’ve been seeing Joel for over three yers now. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a true expert in his field. His approach to training is very unique and incredibly effective. Through my training with Joel I have made some of the most significant strength gains and have been able to quickly recover from injuries. I highly recommend visiting AHP and scheduling your first visit with Joel to see all that he has to offer and to learn how to get in the best shape of your life.

I’ve been training with Joel for 7+ years and have observed a lot of other personal trainers along the way. Joel is hands down the best trainer there is. I started with Joel when he was a PhD student, and have watched him grow into one of the most highly respected trainers in the fitness industry, regularly being interviewed and writing for major fitness magazines and websites. Joel’s passion, depth of knowledge, creativity and genius in all things related to training are second to none. His AHP website is a treasure trove of information from strength training, to nutrition, to exercise programs for every level. He has a never ending arsenal of exercises to vary every workout, and makes he every session challenging and fun. In 7 years I don’t think I’ve done the same workout twice – and I train with him 5 days a week!!When training, Joel gives you his undivided attention. He knows just how to motivate clients and help them achieve goals they never thought possible. I was never a couch potato but now in my 50’s, training with Joel, I’m stronger, healthier and in better shape than ever. I can lift more weight than I ever imagined and will confidently walk into any gym and lift next to any guy without a second thought. I have gone from body fat in the high 20s to successfully competing regionally and nationally in figure competitions at close to12% body fat.With Joel personal training is not a one size fits all. He takes a personal interest in every client, and designs individualized programs to meet their particular needs and goals, be they young or old, elite athlete or weekend warrior, interested in high level athletic performance or general fitness, with minor shoulder pain or a major back injury. I’ve witnessed him do it all.Joel has been blessed with an amazing gift, as was I to find him!!

Dr. Joel was probably the best investment we’ve ever made in our son, Teddy! Teddy was just a good athlete before working with Dr. Joel and now, a year later, Teddy has become a stellar athlete. Teddy’s biggest issue was his strength...his fundamentals in both of his sports were on point but it was time to put weight on In order to excel. Teddy had weight workouts before yet suffered a fracture in his back from lack of knowledge and supervision from his previous trainers. Teddy started with Dr. Joel soon after that and because of Joel’s knowledge and one on one focus, he not only increased his strength he completely rehabilitated him. He designs these workouts truly specific to the athlete which is exactly what growing children need. A lot of trainers don’t understand the importance of growth plate impact and bc of Teddy’s injury we had to find a real expert. He’s not the cheapest but I wouldn’t trust my son’s bones to anyone else!The workouts aren’t easy, but because of the amazing results, Teddy looks forward to his time with Joel. I think my favorite thing about Joel is that he’s become a friend to my son. He talks to him constantly about eating correctly and accountability. We are so happy to have found Dr.Joel and look forward to seeing Teddy’s athletic career flourish under Joel’s guidance!

I started training with Joel several years back when I was still an undergrad and he was finishing his doctorate. After dealing with chronic bicep tendonitis around my left shoulder for several months, I sought medical expertise which only temporarily alleviated my pain but never actually addressed the source of the problem. That is when I reached out to Joel for help.It is amazing what simple postural correction and alignment coupled with proper form will do to one’s body in correcting imbalances and strengthening weaknesses. Within a couple weeks of training with Joel, my shoulder pain disappeared completely and my body, in general, felt much better. I continued to train with Joel for several years until I moved to another city for graduate school, but I definitely miss our training sessions. Thankfully, Joel prepares you more than enough to train on your own safely and effectively. And you should never get bored with all of the exercise variations Joel arms you with.My positive experience with Joel is apparently no different than everyone else who trains with him. I have referred several friends who were suffering from severe lower-back pain and were contemplating surgery before seeing Joel. As predicted, Joel was able to help them quickly eliminate their pain and avoid any medical procedures. No matter whether you are new to training, an experienced athlete, a desk jockey who enjoys lifting like myself, or anyone in between, Joel is a smart choice to dial in proper movement patterns to mitigate injury risk and improve both your own strength and aesthetics.

The experience I have had with Dr. Joel Seedman is beyond what words can explain. I have trained with him for the last three years and has transformed my body and mind to a totally different level than what I could have ever imagined. I would prefer anyone one young or old to work with my guy, because he will help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself. He creates a great workout environment and is very knowledgeable about what he is doing, not only that but he has also help me with some of my personal problem I have had outside of the weight room as well. Overall he is a great man that can guide anyone to get what they need. Thanks so much Dr. Seedman!

I was introduced to Joel two years ago. Joel was training my daughter, a collegiate high jumper. I was on the verge of exploring surgery on my shoulder after several years of very severe pain. After Joel’s initial assessment on me, he determined the pain was caused by inflammation due to poor weight training technique. He believed the issue could be resolved by proper training.I was 54 years old when I met Joel. I have done some form of weight trying most of my life. Joel started my program from the feet up. His attention to detail is extraordinary. He monitored every movement the entire workout session. I began to notice a signifant difference in my strength, posture and overall functionality within three months. Now, two years later, I am stronger, more functional and pain free.Joel is a master of his trade. I have never met a person who is more committed, detail oriented, and passionate as Joel. He is not your ordinary fitness professional. He is well ahead of his profession. He is constantly implementing new and extremely challenging movements to his training techniques.I cannot imagine there is a more talented person in this profession.

Joel is incredible trainer! He is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful when working with clients. I began working with Joel due to a major back injury. I was trying to avoid having surgery and after 3 months, my pain level was substantially lower. Joel has helped me become stronger and have a better quality of life! I am very thankful for him!

Joel has single handedly saved my career and continues to push me to be better. Going to workout with him is exciting, as he challenges you every day. Thanks for everything Joel!

This is my third year visiting with Joel and I cant possibly share enough accolades. He is an extraordinary trainer, leading me through routines I never thought I could master, and giving me extraordinary control of my body. But most importantly, working with Joel provides me with the physical and mental results I expect from a well formulated exercise program, and gives my ego a very healthy boost.

Dr. Joel Seedman is a real pro. He customized a training program for my wife and I which addressed our concerns following hip and shoulder surgeries, respectively. His coaching skills are top notch. He listens and makes specific suggestions and tweeks to the program which really help us to regain strength and mobility. We have found his advice to be very helpful and we plan to follow his program religiously. Joel is always available to answer questions and has been very responsive in every respect.

Ive been working with Joel for nearly 5 years now on everything from stride mechanics to general strength and mobility conditioning (had longstanding issues from an ultramarathon - we now meet 1x per year for check ups).Not only is Joel the best trainer Ive ever worked with, but his interest in the science underneath it all is also superb - he identifies and fixes root causes, so that injuries and issues are permanently fixed. Also he gives guidance in ways that everyone can understand and utilize. For anyone who needs a highly professional trainer or physio with PhD (kinesiologist), for any type of issue or challenge, he is absolutely your guy.

Im a professional athlete and sought out Joel after seeing his videos on Instagram. My goal was to unlock my physical human potential while reducing body fat, increasing strength, and gaining explosion. I trained with Joel for 6 weeks and in that time went from 13.7% to 11.4% body fat while also increasing strength. I was seeing Joel 2x week during this 6 week period. It was a pleasure working with Joel this offseason, as he is always locked in during our sessions and goes above and beyond to make sure that I maintain the progress made during the days I wasnt working with him.

Its rare to meet and be able to work with someone who is truly a master of their craft. Dr. Joel Seedman is exactly that. If physical therapists and trainers who count out reps have failed to heal your body, you owe it to yourself to work with Dr. Joel. An obsessive focus on form is one of the many secrets Dr. Joel brings to every session.I began working with Dr. Joel in early 2016. I was working 70 hour weeks, around 205 lbs and in daily, nagging pain. A year out from right shoulder labrum tear repair surgery, traditional physical therapy had fail to stem the pain that occurred daily since the initial injury, a car accident in 2010. The pain was in my neck more than my shoulder. And physical therapists had no answer for how to get me pain free. The advice had always been “you need better posture.”Dr. Joel was undaunted. We began with a full body assessment and got to work. Posture isn’t a matter of thinking about it, as all my previous medical professionals seemed to think. Posture come from form and strength. As we worked on my form, my pain decreased but would still flare up. I dropped fat steadily and at my lightest was around 190 lbs a few months in. Once the form was there, the fun began and we began to add weight, and I began to pack on muscle. And as my strength skyrocketed, the pain disappeared. These days I’m sitting around 215 lbs, 6% body fat. My posture is close to perfect, and I spend zero time thinking about it.I just got back from two months chasing after elk and mule deer in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, a 30-60lbs pack on my back, covering up to 15 miles a day. I felt great. To even think about such an endeavor three years ago would have been laughable. Dr. Joel will change your life in ways you likely can’t even imagine. To wake up everyday feeling better than the last is addicting to say the least.

I’ve been with Joel for a little over a month now and already seeing improvements with my strength and stability. He is very knowledgeable and I really trust this guy with all of his advanced workouts!

A unique training experience with a very smart and well experienced trainer. I tore my labrum in my throwing shoulder and begun training with Joel and made a 110% recovery with his help. Definitely the most knowledgeable person in the fitness industry and you will be very satisfied with the results as numerous clients can attest to. No matter what type of gains you are looking for, Joel is the guy to goto because of how hard he has worked and all the knowledge he has regarding the fitness industry. Also is one of the nicest and most genuine persons I have ever met in my life.

I will try to make this brief so youll read it, but I could go on for pages. I woke up in pain every morning looking forward to another surgery with the hope it would fix everything. I was literally 2 weeks out when I ran across Dr. Joel. He convinced me to try working with him for a few sessions and to see how it goes. Its been about 4 months now, and while I am not pain free, that is likely largely due to my lifting form. Yes, thats right I am lifting more weight than ever, getting stronger and I wake up most days feeling so much better than I thought I could. Dont hesitate if you get the chance to meet and work out with Dr. J.....itll change your life.

Dr. Joel Seedman has one of the top training programs out there. He has changed the way I take care of my body and I can attest to my stellar body control as an NFL receiver to his training. If you’re a serious athlete and you’ve never trained with Dr. Seedman then I’d give it a try ASAP!

Joel is hands down the best professional and knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with. He provides customized personal training for your needs and goals, teaches the importance of nutrition and the benefits of healthy living. I enjoy the variety and challeng he puts into each of our sessions. Within 3 months of working with Joel, my body changed dramatically! If your tired of cookie cutter trainers and workouts with very little change to your body, then you need to contract Dr. Joel Seedmen. He’s a dynamic trainer!

Hello my name is Prince Charles Iworah and I have worked with Dr. Joel Seedman periodically for about 2 years. Dr Seedman has helped me progress into an elite athlete throughout my NFL career and is always willing to give advice after sessions. He is always communicating and even educating his clients, I recommend going to him it’s a game changer!

Dr. Seedman is easily one of the best trainers bar none. He is thoughtful, innovative, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, he easily applies his knowledge on behalf of his clients in order to properly motivate them to excellence. I consider myself fortunate to have found Dr. Seedman and as a result have trained with him for over 6 years. Your life will be qualitatively beeter if you get the opportunity to train with him, I guarantee it!

Dr. Joel Seedman is one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the industry. I began working with him 3 years ago while I was playing professional golf. I was already athletic and strong, but Joel helped me optimize my performance — he helped me realize that last 1-2% of my performance potential that is unachievable without a coach.Within our first two sessions, he was able to identify my weaknesses, and we built a program that addressed them. He informed me that I was actually hyper-mobile and was exceeding optimal ranges of motion during all of my strength training exercises, which likely added to the aches and pains I felt from swing a golf club 1,000 times a day. Over the next several months, we primarily worked on increasing my stability, anti-rotation exercises (yes, that’s correct...it actually determines your ability to rotate better), and deceleration training, among other things.After just a few weeks my body felt better. Joel showed me techniques with the main barbell lifts — deadlift, squat, bench, press — and how they have a therapeutic effect on the body and how you function when performed properly.The great thing about his approach is that he does not try to sell you a bill of goods or convince you of needing some super secret method of training. Yes, some of the exercises we did and that you’ll see on his Instagram and Facebook pages are different... but these are all supplements to a base strength training program. If anything, Joel cuts out anything that won’t optimize your performance and focuses solely on what will make you better.I cannot recommend Joel highly enough. He gives the same effort to all of his clients, regardless of their goal — whether it be training for the NFL Combine, or someone seeking general wellness. This to me not only speaks to who he is as a coach, but also to who he is as a person.

Dr. Joel Seedman is the reason that I am able to be pain-free of severe backpain caused by a herniated disc (L4,5) that I suffered three years ago. From the very beginning stages of my injury, Dr. Seedman worked with me and taught how incorrect movements had caused my injury to occur. Through functional strength training focused on proper movement patterns, he built me up to be completely pain-free of my back issue with added strength and knowledge to boot. I would absolutely recommend Joel to anyone.

When I decided to start strength training in earnest about 4 to 5 years ago, I decided to include more compound movements, something Id never done before. I was the type of guy that used machines and just about always skipped leg day, so I knew it would be challenging, but I didnt know how challenging. Ill spare you the long buildup - I threw my back out at least 3 times doing what I thought was a dead-lift. The last time I wrenched my back so bad that it was painful to roll over in bed. Think about that for a second. I ended up going to the emergency room the next day with a walker (Im in my mid-thirties.) I had had enough. I decided I was going to find the best personal trainer I could and fix the problem once and for all.I asked around my gym and got recommended to Joel by some of his other students - Im big on personal referrals - and did some research on my own and finally decided to write him an email. He was very understanding and we set up a first session.Im not sure what I was expecting, but Joel was everything and more than I couldve imagined. I cant put into words what a fantastic experience every session was. I was blown away by his knowledge of all things fitness (probably not the right word to encompass the full breadth of his expertise) - this isnt some guy that got a certificate after taking a week-long course at the Y (no offense.) This is a guy who will forget more about physiology than most will ever know. A true standout in his field, intellectually, practically, and professionally.But having lots of knowledge is useless if you cant teach others in a practical way; a way in which they will take in useful information and adapt it to suit themselves. There are plenty of smart people who cant implement what they know practically, much less help others learn from them. Ive known so many big, strong guys in gyms who had zero clue how to help me or others, specifically when it came to proper form. Joel, on the other hand, knows not only what proper form is, but he knows what proper form looks like and what proper form feels like AND he knows how to adapt that to your body AND how to teach you to feel it too.Lastly, Joel has a passion not only for fitness, but for training others. You can absolutely feel his energy in every. single. session. The guy loves what he does and it shows. It was a pleasure to go workout with him each session. Also, hes just a great guy with a fun sense of humor, so it was like working out with a good friend, not a rabid drill sergeant.This review is already waayyyy too long, so Ill just say, if you are looking for some personal training - maybe youve hurt yourself and just dont know where to turn - stop asking the bros in your gym, stop watching Youtube videos, and stop posting to bodybuilding message boards. Do yourself a favor and go see Joel. Youll see why hes a true sensei. He fixed me - over a year and a half, with steady strength and muscle gains with, get this, absolutely NO PAIN! - and he can fix you too. And you might just enjoy it.

I originally went there because I had gotten in a vehicle accident and my shoulder was killing me to the point where I could not sleep or work. After week two of working with Dr Joel Seederman I did not feel any pain whatsoever because of the list of exercises he had shown me. I am now fully recovered and back to working as I did before I got in the car accident.

Working with Joel has been a fantastic experience. He has helped my daughter, a collegiate athlete, recover from knee surgery and prepare for the next season. She not only rehab’d from surgery but went into pre-season in the best shape of her life. I tore my ACL skiing last year and Joel has helped me recover without surgery. I have had a solid recovery and I have been able to improve my overall health and fitness. I have never felt better! I highly recommend Joel for everyone.

I’m a nfl running back && i’ve been training with joel for a little over two years now, he’s a very spiritual guy && i can definitely say he got the best out of me every workout . he pushed me passed limits i thought i had && taught me a lot . joel have gotten me better each && every workout from my stability to body control and also my core . he cares about each && every one of his clients . i would definitely recommend anyone to try him out, you will most definitely reap the benefits .

Joel Seedman, PhD is, hands down, the best strength and conditioning coach in Georgia--and the Southeast and USA, for that matter. Hes published in every top publication, and he brings his excellence and insight to every client: high school, collegiate, and professional athletes; bodybuilding and figure competitors; and even banged up 40-somethings like myself. Heck, he even works with nanas and grandads. Professional and passionate, Joel excels because, in addition to his vast knowledge, he does what a lot of trainers dont: he listens and he observes, and he uses what he hears and what he sees to help his clients improve. My own experience with Joel led me back to certain exercises I had convinced myself I was too old to do: squats, deadlifts, jumps, olympic lifts, etc. The difference is, Joel helped me progress through modifications and basic forms of each, slowly advancing me toward more challenging progressions--but only when I was ready. And the reason we were able to progress to this point is because Joel emphasizes how you perform not just what (or how many) you perform. Do yourself a favor, ditch the latest fad, read Joels materials, use his programs, and, if you can, train with the man in person. Hes a proverbial game-changer.

Dr. Joel Seedman is exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled in his practice. I have been working with him weekly for over 3 years and could not recommend him highly enough!

To write a review that would fully explain just how awesome Joel is as a coach would take way too long so I will do my best to get straight to the point. Joel is one of the most knowledgeable and creative strength coaches in the nation. His philosophies and methodologies on training just makes perfect sense and in an industry where there is an abundance of bad information from so called “experts”, it is refreshing to listen to just one voice and drown out the crowd noise. Many of his clients come to him broken from years and sometimes even decades of poor coaching and advice as a last ditch effort to try and avoid surgery having tried the physical therapy, chiropractor, etc route. After just one session, some clients will feel immediate relief from their chronic pain and over the next few months most of the ache and pains will be gone. I can say this because this is exactly what I experiended. I limped into our training session having just herniated my disc in my lumbar spine which paralyzed my calf for a week due to the excessive inflammation. 4 years later I have competed in body building, powerlifting, a triathlon and a half marathon just to name a few. Joel has influenced my life so much that instead of pursuing a degree in the medical field I will be pursuing my Ph.D. In hopes to model my career path similiar to his. I highly recommend getting a session with Joel, you won’t regret it.

Always a new and innovative workout with Dr. Joel
