Welcome to the Home of Cincinnati Fitness Trainer
P. J. Striet and
FORCE Fitness & Performance!

Hello, I am Cincinnati fitness trainer P. J. Striet. I am the Owner of FORCE Fitness & Performance LLC, a private fitness training facility and fitness services business based in the Cincinnati, OH suburb of Hyde Park. My professional credentials, experience, and qualifications include the following:

• Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) since 2000

• Featured presenter at numerous national fitness seminars, including those hosted buy well respected organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine. 
• Experience training male and female athletes from 26 sports as a member of the athletic strength and conditioning staffs at both The University of Notre Dame and Miami University
• Member of the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA)
• Member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
• 8 years of full-time independent training experience

"P. J. is an outstanding professional Cincinnati fitness trainer. He takes the time and efort to determine your specific fitness goals and originates a plan accordingly. I cannot recommend him highly enough!" -Bob Castellini, Owner & CEO, Cincinnati Reds

Drawing upon the qualifications and experience listed above, I created the Cincinnati Fitness Trainer website with the following mission:

"To provide principle based and scientifically supported information on fitness, nutrition, preventative health and performance enhancement to individuals striving to live healthier lifestyles and achieve their fitness goals."

There is an abundance of poor (sometimes fraudulent) and conflicting information out there on topics related to fitness, nutrition, and preventative health. All of this conflicting misinformation discourages and confuses well intentioned individuals from meeting their fitness goals and improving their health.

"I've never been as fit, strong, or motivated as I was during the years P. J. was my personal Cincinnati fitness trainer. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and P. J. was able to adjust exercises and work around the affected joints. He also helped me strengthen my leg muscles in advance of knee replacement surgery, and the doctors all commented on how beneficial that was during my recovery and rehab." -Cammy Dierking, Evening News Anchor, Local 12

Have you ever asked yourself and struggled to find answers to any of the following questions:

• "Should I perform strength training, cardiovascular exercise, or a combination of both?"
• "What supplements should I take?"
• "How many calories do I need to eat to start losing body fat?" "
• "Is interval training better than steady state cardio?"
• "Low carb and high protein or high carb and low fat?"
• "Is there a difference between strength training and weight training?" 
• "Are pilates and yoga right for me?"

Trying to figure out answers to the questions above can be extremely frustrating, especially when you hear a different opinion from a different "fitness guru" in the mainstream media every week. Worse yet, most of the advice given by "the experts" in the mainstream media is laced with gimmicks, slick marketing and sales "speak", and empty promises…they are usually trying to sell you something which they stand to profit from.

If you are tired of sorting through the fitness misinformation, and are ready for practical, effective, and immediately usable information you can apply to your lifestyle and workouts TODAY, you are in the right place!

"I have worked with P.J.Striet since the spring of 2003 and it has made a world of difference in my fitness and overall well being. I"m stronger, more flexible and have a better awareness of my body and the importance of exercise and nutrition. He has helped me prepare for marathons, lower my golf score and has dramatically impacted the overall quality of my life...what more can you ask?" -Jim Scott, Morning Show Host, 700 WLW Radio Cincinnati
