I started working with James and his team two years ago after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. Exercise Science has been a game changer for me. I continue to get stronger every week and I know that I’m doing it the right way. James and his staff have corrected several errors I learned from previously working with a personal trainer. James is extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics/physiology and designs a customized fitness/therapy plan for each individual based on their unique needs. Each member of his staff meticulously coaches the patient. I am happy to report that my most recent Dexa bone scan showed an improvement in my T scores. Thank you, Exercise Science!

It was almost one year ago when I went to Exercise Science Inc after my wife, who is also in the health profession, had a recommendation from one of her patients who had great success there to see and investigate this program.I met with James Verdisco the president of the company to go over my goals and how I thought this program could help me. I explained that I had planned trip in July to visit Barcelona and I wanted to be sure that I was fit enough to enjoy the trip, to walk the many miles, up and down many stairs and to generally get in better health.So I decided to give it a try, I joined up with one of the group programs meeting 2 to 3 times a week with a very regimented program designed for me after some testing on various equipment. I started going twice a week, working with the staff, who were very attentive, and very instructive and knowledgeable about not only what weights to work out with on the various machines, but particularly about the form and movement throughout the exercise.Well, I can tell you that I just got back from Barcelona, where I walked up and down many mountainous trails, stone stairways, and long thoroughfares. And although it was hot, I was able to do this better than I ever thought I would.I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in improving their physical wellness as well as their knowledge about how to properly exercise, and even Nutrition. The staff is attentive, as well as caring while having good sense of humor. I really would like to thank all of the staff at Exercise Science Inc. Particularly Mike, Benna and Ernesto.I Definitely plan to continue with the program!

Just started going here a couple months ago. My younger sister was going there for months before me said It really helped her and took a lot of her pain away, that I should definitely look into it, and good thing I did, already huge improvements. This place really does their job, everyone there is super friendly and encouraging.

I had the pleasure of speaking with James Verdisco at Exercise Science in Selden. James was well educated in muscle groups and fully informing me on how he and his team can help. I have been to many physical therapists on LI. With Little to no change on my condition. I reluctantly signed up to consider James’s methods as I had no where else to turn. I am very active and still love to play sports and weight train. I have arthritis in my neck and rotator cuff issues as well as a bicep tendon problem. Not only did James and his staff get me stronger from my core to my legs along with biceps and shoulder strength training. James and his staff, Benna, Jack, Mike and Ernesto all took part into helping me achieve these goals set from the beginning. Little by little I started getting stronger as the pain now subsided. 6 Months in- I continue to set goals and surpass them each week. This is not an ordinary physical therapy but a life style game changer. Not only do my teammates thank you for now I am back to hitting homeruns 😂 I thank you for a pain free, feel good inside and out lifestyle and continue to keep doing what I love and enjoy. Special thanks to Petrina the LMT who I also have been seeing for months in the same building, which also contributed to my return to a pain free lifestyle . Thank you for making me a believer.

Knowledgeable staff, nuanced and attentive care are just a few of the reasons I’ve stayed exercising here for 12 years. Working with them has not only healed my body through various injuries I’ve had over the years but also has given me the opportunity to be educated properly about exercise.

Over five years ago, Exercise Science was suggested to me after other therapies and medical procedures weren’t very effective. I have been continuously going at least once a week since then. James, and his knowledgeable and friendly staff have helped me strengthen my entire body, rehabilitate after shoulder surgery, and also recover from a back injury as well. My one on one sessions have been extremely beneficial to my physical health.

I worked with JP back in 2016-2019. I’ve always been in to my health, mentally spiritually and physically . I again in 2023 reconnected ( I moved out of state ) with to help get me back into the bets shape of my life.He is not a fitness trainer or nutritionist, the dude is a freaking scientist with your body . He first does all his testing, then specially prescribes the proper macros , the right amount and intensity for your cardio and finally his prescribed workouts , well it’s 180 degree difference from what you’ve ever experienced.1 set to failure – perfect form .The Results speak louder then this review.Thanks JP for your guidance and expertise .

I was having some trouble w knee soreness and body aching while playing hockey (a hobby of mine for 30 years). Contemplating retirement from something i loved , i was referred to JP VERDISCO by a close friend of mine. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I frequently visit the gym , so i wasn’t sure what he could show me .I was blown away how jp and his staff could take some cardiovascular vo2 max testing and transformed my heavy out of shape breathingit into meaningful data! After analyzing my charts jp was able to communicate the proper training i should encompass from here on out to help keep me in the game !

I have went to Exercise Science a few different times over the last 8 years. I started going in my mid-twenties as an athlete to test my VO2Max and strength train several times a week with James Verdisco which was an awesome experience and produced my best physique and strength gains under exercise and nutritional guidance.More recently in 2023, in my mid-30s I had low back and hip tightness due to sitting too much and not being active and mobile. The team at Exercise Science evaluated me and after a 6 month program going 2 times a week, I am 100% pain free, able to perform movements that were painful before and can finally get back to a normal life that includes golfing and other activities that I could not do before enrolling in the program here.I have recommended family and friends to Exercise Science because they really do prescribe unique exercise programs to each individual based on what your goals are or your injuries may be.The exercise programs that I participated in over the last 6 months seriously changed my life as I am 100% pain free again now, and haven’t been for YEARS.

I was Jame’s last appointment of the day and he was thorough, present, focused, and unrushed. He took his time to do an evaluation, explain everything and answer my questions. He and his fabulous staff have tremendously helped my parents. Having worked in the same industry it is clear he really knows his stuff inside and out!UPDATE: July 2023 – I just had a massage from Petrina here. After hearing my parents and brothers rave about the experience, I had to give it a try. Well, we accomplished so much in one session. Petrina is gifted, really cares, and explained the root cause of my muscular tension as well as relieving so much of it in one session. HIGHLY recommend a massage with Petrina. Thank you!

I injured my groin in May 2022 and was looking for a physical therapist. I could barely walk and definitely couldn’t do a light jog without excruciating pain. I found a PT through my insurance and went there until September but my groin never got better. His practices were actually making my groin worse and he said there was nothing else he can do and I had to get shots by a doctor. I thought that was ridiculous so I told my Masseuse and she told me about her friend who went to James Verdisco Exercise Science and he creates a plan specifically to treat your injuries. I made an appointment for an initial evaluation with him and he told me all that was wrong with my groun and we set up individual PT 2x/week. I was skeptical at first because of my last experience but trusted the process and expertise of James and his staff, Mike, Jack, Ernesto, and Benna. Really nice people who care and work hard to help you recover. My groin is finally better and I owe it all to them. I have resumed sports and I’m not scared that I will tweak my groin anymore. If you are looking for physical therapy, look no further! James and his team will take great care of you!

I first came to JP Verdisco in 2014 after having open heart surgery at 41 to replace an aortic valve. I had always been into fitness and was frustrated at not being able to lift or run at the levels I had prior to surgery. James knew exactly how hard he could safely push me and that allowed me the confidence to push myself. In just over a year he had my strength nearly back to where it had been and I was able to run my first half marathon. I recently had to have another surgery and can think of no one I would trust more with helping me through my rehabilitation.

I cannot speak highly enough about Exercise Science and the incredible team led by James Verdisco. This physiologist office is the real deal, and the expertise and care provided by James and his team are unmatched.I started working out at Exercise Science about 6 months ago when I was feeling at my lowest point in my health journey and in need of a personal trainer – or so I thought. Despite being young at 34, I had a lot of health challenges that had been holding me back. Thankfully, I found James who gave me an initial evaluation and came up with a plan of action I really needed. Not personal training, not physical therapy, but used real science to come up with a plan to get me out of the hole I’ve dug myself into.In just 6 short months, I have seen incredible improvements in my strength and overall well-being. Working with Ernesto, the office manager, and the rest of the team twice a week has been an absolute pleasure. Their wealth of knowledge and expertise is truly impressive.One of my favorite parts of working out at Exercise Science is the body stretch that comes at the end of every session. Unlike other places that use fake marketing terms like being “stretchologists”, the physiologists at Exercise Science are the real deal. They know exactly how every muscle and strand in your body operates, and work with the muscle structure around them for optimal results.Recently, I have also booked a few sessions with the in-house medical massage therapist and acupuncturist, and I have been blown away by the quality of care provided. This team truly cares about their clients, and it shows in everything they do.If you are someone who is in need of physical therapy or a gym trainer, I cannot recommend Exercise Science enough. James, Ernesto, Jack, Mike, Benna and the rest of the team are true experts in their craft, and their dedication to their clients is unmatched. I’ll check back in another 6 months and give an updated review.Don’t miss out on the opportunity to work with them and see incredible results!

When I started coming here I was in a lot of pain and it was difficult to walk. With James’ guidance I’m doing much better and the pain is gone. Working regularly with Ernesto and Michael, who are very skilled, compassionate therapists, I am encouraged. So glad I am coming here.

In July of 2021 I finally went back the gym after a 16 month Covid hiatus and decided I was going to start doing some running with the goal of being able to run the Michael Murphy 5k in 2022. Well about 3 weeks into my running & weight training routine I came home from the gym one day and had some severe tightening in my lower back. After it didn’t go away within a few days I decided to go to a chiropractor for an adjustment. It seemed to relieve the pain a some but any routine motion brought the pain level up so I decided to visit a physical therapist. After doing a consultation visit they recommended a 3 visits per week for 3 months. During this 3 month period my back pain did come down substantially but any long periods of standing or walking or lifting brought the tightness back to pretty high level. Better than the initial pain but still not right.This continued until a very faithful day in July of 2022 when James Verdisco was over my house with his family for a kid’s play date. During his visit we he started explaining to me what his profession actually is. I had heard him use the term physiotherapy before but never connected the dots. Well, that day would change my life with back pain completely. While sitting at my kitchen table explaining my back situation James asked me to go through a few different movements, sit in certain positions and explain what I felt. He immediately told me that he had a very good idea what my issue was and asked me to set up a consultation.At the consultation a few days later his suspicion was confirmed and recommended a 6 month treatment plan which he said would rid me of pain for good. Obviously, I was a bit skeptical but I figured i had nothing to lose so I started a two times a week treatment. I can only explain the sessions as a combination of having a workout assisted by a personal trainer who is guiding you through workouts to make sure your form is perfect and the right muscles are being triggered but also an incredible stretching session which leaves me ready to tackle the day.I just completed my 6 months and the improvement is drastic. Other than a tiny bit of tightness when I over exert myself which is probably pretty common I am pain free. James assures me that as long as I maintain the gains I have made by continuing the routines we have done the back pain will stay away and all though I was cleared to start group classes at his facility in Selden, I enjoy the one on one training & stretching sessions so much I just signed up for another 12 weeks!I can’t recommend James Verdisco enough!!!

I’m 74 years old and have had some challenges with leg strength, and as a result, walking and standing. I’ve been in and out of physical therapy a bunch of times with no meaningful results.In just three months at JP Verdisco there has been encouraging progress. My legs are stronger and my walking is noticeably improved. For the first time in over 10 years I’m hopeful that I can continue to enjoy significant improvements by staying with it. A HUGE added benefit is that my body is more energized and my spirits have been lifted.Without a doubt, James Verdisco is not only extremely knowledgeable about the mechanics of the body, he is also able to translate that knowledge into a very effective treatment program that targets exactly what I need. Every person on his team that works with me is a highly trained specialist that is truly concerned about my continued improvement. They are very kind people who are quite enjoyable to work with.If you have any physical issues and can’t seem to get the answers you need or the therapy to help you, I encourage you to book an evaluation and decide from there. Perhaps, like me, you will finally find the help you really need. I hope you do.

I think what says it all is that I renewed my membership for the 5th straight year. I’m in my late 50s, was never athletic and I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. James has a wonderful and knowledgeable staff that have helped me deal with knee problems, shoulder tightness due to stress, and have helped me exercise without injuring myself. I love the friendliness, and after 5 years, the homey feel of the place. The schedule is strict, you have appointments to work with an exercise physiologist at a specific time, but that is the best feature- you don’t skip, someone is waiting for you. I’ve paid gym memberships for years and always ended up dropping out. Not this time! I’ll keep coming until I confined to a bed.

Better than anything insurance could buy. Fair price but a steal for the amount of extra time and effort James and his employees put in to get you healthy again. Great people to be around. Always have a knowledgeable answer for any questions to keep you confident.

Highly recommend this place. James has always made me feel confident with all his help! I came in with a partial tare in both my shoulders, and just 1 month in I’m starting to feel little to no pain. They are always quick to answer any questions you have and that’s always a great quality!

My experience at JP Verdisco was terrific. James and his professional staff were able to design a program that considered all the many variables and complexities of the human anatomy. As a health care practitioner myself , I was very impressed that they were able to rid me of chronic pain , while strengthening my core, along with all of my other areas. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is searching for pain relief.!!

I started my exercise journey end of January 2022 with another trainer mostly using Cybex machines. I did make progress but I was constantly in pain because the trainer did not listen and modify my workout routine. I happened to see the sign for JP Verdisco in Selden. I looked online and saw the great reviews and since there was a promotion for the evaluation, I decided to give Exercise Science a try. I was in quite a bit of pain when I met James for the evaluation. I was impressed that he was able to pinpoint areas where my body was havingissues. Subsequently, I had x-rays done from one of my doctors and sure enough, James was 100% correct about my physical situation. James told me that all his workout plans are based on science and what works for each person, not just doing more and heavier reps on a machine.I signed up for the first month not knowing what to expect or if I was really going to get stronger. I’m in my upper 50’s and I’m an avid equestrian so I really needed to build my core and upper body strength without pain and injury. During my first workout, we did body weight exercises. I thought to myself, “How can this compare in getting me stronger like weight training?” I was skeptical. Well, let me tell you, I just finished my second month of training there (2 days per week) and I cannot believe the strength I’ve gained!!! I’m able to ride my horses more effectively. I have more stamina for life activities in general and I’m not in pain.James will create a workout plan based on your body and its individual needs to get you stronger. I have some physical asymmetry issues which were affecting my riding, my horse and my progress. In two months, I (and my horse) feel a big difference.The staff in Selden is excellent and very low-key. The trainers are kind, knowledgeable and supportive. They work under James’ guidance. They always ask if you are okay during the exercises to make sure you are not having pain. There are all ages of clients there with different physical needs working on getting stronger and better.Do yourself a favor and visit James for an evaluation and sign up for a 1-1 training session. You’ll be glad you did and your body will thank you. Highly recommended!!!

Even though my girlfriend highly recommended Exercise Science, I was hesitant to join.After my evaluation with James, who is definitely an expert in his field, I decided to go for it.Initially, I only signed up for a 1 on 1 once a week as I wanted to meet my exercise physiologist and see for myself what the program actually entailed.I have osteoporosis and have done endless research on the type of exercises I need to do, the # of reps, the weight increases, etc. I was pleasantly surprised that this program was everything I needed and wanted. After working with Jack just once, I knew I made the right decision and hence signed up for twice a week.Jack is very knowledgeable, professional, kind and caring. He is constantly customizing my workout, keeping tabs on my form, and targeting all the key areas. I am extremely happy with Jack and the program.Lee has been great handling my make up classes and answering my questions.

I had a serious accident which shattered my femur and hip. I was hospitalized and in rehab for months. The injuries took several operations to put things back together, but I was left in great pain and unable to walk. Rehab and out-patient physical therapy stabilized my condition but did little esle. On top of those challenges, inacitivity and depression yielded significant weight gain. I was resigned to my condition..A physician I knew recommended James (J. P. Verdisco). He began working with me. Right away I noticed he had insights and observations that made a lot sense and that other healthcare givers didn’t seem to know. The excercises he set up had immediate and remarkable results. Things just got better from there. He also gave me strategies for nutrition and weightloss that worked..Before I began working with James I was “circling the drain” and doubt that I would be alive today. I continue to see James regularly and am happy and heathy. I may never regain full function, but I am able to work and get around independently. When you started with not being able to get up out of a wheelchair without assistance, being able to go up a flight of stairs is a major–and miraculous–achievement

I was referred to JP Verdisco by a friend of mine because I was complaining about knee pain. I was evaluated by James and he put together a program designed for me targeting my problem areas. The experienced Exercise Physiologist guided me throughout each exercise. And now I can honestly say that my knee pain is gone! I’ve been working out with the team for over 3 years now and I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life!James and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I highly recommend them!

I had a hockey related injury that happened a month ago. I had a hard time finding somewhere to go that wasn’t just urgent care. James helped me with steps to care for it in the meantime. After just describing what happened and what it felt like, he told me it was most likely a shoulder separation and I needed to get x-rays and MRI to find out the exact damage. He was correct! After I finally got in for x-rays and they scheduled an MRI, they scheduled a follow up two weeks after that instead of right away which I thought was silly. They thought it was a level 1 shoulder separation. When I got my MRI results and it ended up being a level 3 shoulder separation and torn Labrum, I wanted to know how to proceed. My “Google doctorate” told me conflicting things so I tried to move my meeting with the orthopedic doc up, and the office refused and were unwilling to answer questions I had. The doctor there ended up being awesome, the other staff just weren’t very helpful. Anyways, I contacted James again after the MRI results for more help. When I showed him the results he was very knowledgeable about the injury and answering my questions thoroughly of what I needed to do and not do for the next two weeks. The orthopedic was happy someone so knowledgeable could help answer my questions and ease my panic. I am out of my sling and still healing up, but very thankful for the help James provided!

Thank you to James, Jack , Dan and staff for making my experience at Exercise Science exceptional! The facility was highly recommended by family and friends who have been going there for years for various health issues. After 8 months, I feel stronger, healthier and in better physical health overall! The sessions are targeted, individualized, and evolve with progress and needs.When a separate neck issue and knee issue occurred, I sought James clinical expertise even though people suggested I get an MRI or another type scan. James knew immediately the cause of each problem and with just a few sessions, resolved weeks of pain. I am so grateful!

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!Not too long ago I came to James with back issues. I explained that my weight lose had come to a standstill and that I had a hard time every day cleaning the house, gardening and taking long walks. My balance was even off. I had been going to a chiropractor 2x a week. If I did gardening or I worked out in any way it was 3xs a week to the chiropractor. [I’m not saying anything bad about my chiropractor. I love him. He’s a great guy.]After evaluating me, James explained that my muscles were the issues and not the discs I had herniated. I was skeptical at first for I had a trainer in the past and always seemed to end up worse than when I started in a short time. I explained my goal was to be able to move and do everyday tasks. This was my last resort before seeking help from a surgeon.After a few weeks of training with Mario, I noticed that climbing stairs or kneeling was not that hard anymore. I had more energy and strength. I even weeded all my gardens and was not sore. I have had the opportunity to train with James, Ernesto, Jason and Mario. They are all really great. They make training fun and productive. I can honestly say I look forward to my workouts each week.Since I joined JP Verdisco, my husband has joined and even looks forward to his workouts each week. I see a difference in him and he does too. He has more energy. My friends and family have noticed a change in my appearance and energy level.Although, I know I have a long road ahead of me, I know I have made the right choice for me and my husband. I can never thank you all enough for what you have done for my husband and me.

I cannot thank this facility enough! I highly recommend Exercise Science to ALL my friends and family whether they are looking for a personal trainer to get fit or to fix any physical issues/injuries. I was in a car accident a few years ago which left me with bad knees. I’ve seen a few orthopedics and tried physical therapy multiple times to correct the issues I have but nothing worked. During my initial assessment with James, he was able to find the underlying problems causing my pain that no other therapist even examined in the past. He created a personalized work out plan to correct the issues from the source that has helped me tremendously! During each session, I am 1:1 with a trainer (Ernesto and Casey are amazing) that make sure your entire body is in the correct position for each work out. The stretching at the end is my favorite part, I leave feeling like I just left the spa except I had an effective workout that personalized to my body. Thank you everyone at Exercise Science Inc!

I’ve been taking my mom to this place for several months now because she injured her shoulder that prevented her from lifting up her arm. I tried two other locations before arriving at James’ facility and we saw no results after many sessions of physical therapy. We were told that she needed surgery because she was diagnosed with frozen shoulder, but come to find out she was given the wrong diagnosis. We were able to avoid surgery all together and with the expertise of this facility we have seen drastic changes, and my mom now has a full range of motion within her arm. Not to mention, the staff is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and highly knowledgeable compared to any other location we’ve visited. We look forward to coming in every week and having the best conversations with James, who has an endless depth of knowledge. I would 10/10 recommend coming here if you or anyone else that you know has sustained an injury that requires physical therapy. They’ll get you up and moving within no time without the fear of returning to your previous state. All their efforts are greatly appreciated.

I am both delighted and grateful to have found James and his wonderful staff at Exercise Science. There were too many years of severe suffering with my upper extremities; and I am finally finding some relief and getting to the root of the problem. The staff is kind, professional, and most of all knowledgeable. Each client is greeted by name and has an individualized program that is designed and monitored to fit their own needs. It is a comfortable atmosphere; you will probably make a friend, and the laughter is absolutely contagious! I look forward to going every week. After years of working out, I learned so much of what NOT to do! Thank you James and all of your staff for being absolutely wonderful!

I never exercised in my life and Verdisco has shown me how important strength and cardio exercise is. I always look forward to my sessions and how my body has changed with there help and support.The staff is phenomenal – James, Jason, Ernesto, Jack and Linda.

I have been going to Verdisco for 9 months now and love this place. When I first started I was physically unhealthy from an inactive lifestyle. Since going to Verdisco I have felt better about myself and feel my quality of life has gone up. I have gained some muscle, energy, and my posture has noticeably improved. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to going every week.

JP Is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to treating injuries. Not only does he understand the science but her breaks it down into laymen’s terms so that you can understand it and apply it across the board. If you are looking for top notch training, recovery, and experience, this is the place to go!!!

I came upon Verdisco after suffering from a torn meniscus. I tried PT for a few months and while they were great – I was looking for a program that treated my injury more holistically. I have belonged to gyms, done PT, had a personal trainer and nothing is better that the program at Verdisco. The exercise physiologists (specifically Jay) have a vast array of knowledge to treat not just your injury but to work all your muscle groups so that they can work together for your body to heal and to become stronger. They assess what you can do and build you up each week to do more and more than even you think your body can do. I cannot recommend this place more highly. The staff is professional, kind, courteous and they even make it fun! I realize that as I get older – this is a program that I need to make getting older not so bad.

When all Hope was lost and nowhere else to turn my pain management doctor recommended James Verdisco. It was where he went. Well, seems to be working out. James has knowledge no one else is even aware of. Anyway, in my 6th month and am seeing improvement in my back were there was none before. Finally, hope to be normal again. A new concept to me and the people in my world. Thanks James.

I was told by my dietician that I needed a exercise physiologist and Verdisco was the only place that came up in this area. I needed this place particularly because I have a complicated medical history that needed to be addressed in order to properly exercise in a safe and productive environment. In the first 12 weeks I have been able to progress 2 levels in the cardiac and 2 levels in muscle strength. Given my medical history this is amazing. James is the owner and explains everything quite well. The trainers Rich, Jack and Ernesto are very patient and help you follow the plan that is designed for your particular needs. I highly recommend this place for your physical therapy and training needs.

JP Verdisco and staff provide exemplary service in a much needed niche in the Physical Therapy field. The staff is professional, friendly, and well educated. The initial evaluation was thorough, informative, and reasonably priced. Several treatment options were offered, where you work one on one with a Physical Therapist on the prescribed treatment plan. I was re-evaluated after 12- weeks, my progress reassessed, and the treatment plan was updated. The 12 week results I’ve achieved are impressive and I couldn’t recommend a better PT office to help you achieve your health goals.

Since coming to the group I’ve learned a lot about proper form, getting better and faster at running, and having a good time. Everyone in the group is extremely knowledgeable, always polite , and fun. Any questions or concerns about your exercise program are answered so that you can accomplish what goal you’re hoping to obtain.

I had extensive spinal fusion a few years back for kyphosis and scoliosis. I’ve had physical therapy and personal trainers to help me get back in shape. No one compares to them! They are very knowledgeable and dedicated. In just 3 months time, I’ve gained muscle mass, and my posture has improved. These guys are amazing!

What can I say, I am strong like bull! I started working out with Jay because I brought my son to JPV and thought, “Why am I paying another gym when I’m here anyway.” 2 life-changing years later, I’ve never felt this good. No more neck and back issues, And James has mitigated enough of my shoulder pain (from 3 tears) and my carpal tunnel through hands on adjustments, so that I don’t need surgery. I barely remember I have these issues. My son has gained in socialization and become proud of his much-improved physique, and my daughter attributes the ease of this 3rd pregnancy to her training at JPV. Like I said-strong like bull, but times that by 3.

I have known James Verdisco for about 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable about exercise science and has taught me a lot. He truly cares about us, his patients, and goes above and beyond with us. I recently started back at the Selden facility after having The Gastric Sleeve done almost 3 months ago. I’m down 40 pounds since surgery and now plan on toning my muscle and burning more calories in the group sessions.James and his staff are terrific and I highly recommend them. My parents are patients as well and James has helped both of them to age gracefully.Thank you for everything James and staff.Sincerely,Lisa Abrams

This place changed my life… 3 years ago I was referred to James and the team as a way to properly and safely lose weight. James, Jay, Ernesto & Linda helped me to lose nearly 50 pounds of fat, stack on lean muscle tissue and increase the capacity of my cardiovascular system. I am forever grateful for their dedication, professionalism and friendship. Stop wasting time, drop the fad diets and call Exercise Science Inc.

JP starts with a thorough evaluation, followed by program that is supervised by an exercise physiologist. Great results, excercise targeted to my issues, very efficient use of my time. I plan to go weekly on an ongoing basis. Twice a week would be better for me but doesn’t work with my current schedule.

I’m really thankful for everyone at JP Verdisco. I arrived over a year ago with a hamstring injury and very little strength. I’m still getting stronger with the help of the team and I wouldn’t feel as good as I do now without them. Completing the exercises prescribed to me has helped me improve upon my strength so that I can enjoy my other fitness related hobbies safely. The physiologists have taken great care of me on days when I was not at my best (I had to recover from an appendectomy last year right after starting physio). Thank you all for reading and I hope you will consider going to JP Verdisco!😀

When I came to JP Verdisco exercise I was in bad shape. My nephropathy had taken it’s toll. JP and his staff were so welcoming and kind. I go to group sessions and my strength has improved enormously allowing me to walk far distances and keep my balance. They have done wonders for me and they will do the same for you! I highly recommend JP Verdisco Exercise!

Amazing, kind, knowledgeable staff! If you have acute or chronic pain and cannot get it fixed elsewhere, this is the place for you!! I’ve been living with hip and back pain for years, and it’s gone after 12 weeks. As a physical therapist, I can attest to the excellent therapy I am receiving. This is a place like no other.

I have been working with James and his team for over a year and a half and I never thought I could get back into such good shape. I lost 30 pounds and went from a size 14 to a size 8.I was tired and out of shape. My back and neck and joints were hurting. There were days I came to James in so much pain, I had spasms that took my breath away…he helped me through these difficulties and helped me gain strength and feel better without drugs .I am continually improving my fitness and have amazed myself that at 68 ,I can have muscles and be toned and run around with my grandkids and keep up with them!I am probably more fit than when I was 20 years younger! Thanks for taking good care of me and my hubby as well!

I am so grateful to have found this place! The team at JP Verdisco is awesome and has helped me feel better and stronger than I have in years. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. This is a place where all are welcome and treated with respect and caring. I had pretty much given up on ever feeling like myself again and now I do! THANKS to everyone at JP Verdisco!!

Amazing facility! So glad I was recommended to JP Verdisco! James and his staff got my full range of motion back in my shoulder following labral repair surgery. Other professionals prior told me my limited range after months of physical therapy was “normal after a surgery like this.” JP Verdisco got me back to my active lifestyle with full range of motion and no pain! I am so thankful for them and would highly recommend to anyone!
