Alexandre De Aquino

I have been following a personal training program with Mathew Acetta at HSS Sports Rehabilitation and Performance for 3 months focusing on strengthening my legs after almost a year of PT sessions for my left total knee replacement and addressing right ankle soreness. For over a decade, I had been limping due to pain and delays in surgery, so I was looking for a program that would target my specific needs and was told about a personal training at HSS.

Mathew developed a personalized program that concentrated on the exact muscle groups necessary to improve my posture and strengthen my legs. We met every 2–3 weeks, and I exercised on my own in between sessions. I was astonished by the results after just the second session. The improvement was stunning and amazing - truly reflective of the precision and expertise in Mathew’s approach.

His professionalism, dedication, and deep knowledge made this program both effective and enjoyable. I can confidently say that Mathew’s guidance has made a remarkable difference in my mobility, strength, and overall well-being.
