“I’ve been attending Derek Embly's exercise and nutrition program for 3.5 years now, and I am absolutely amazed at the results. Joining this program has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

When I first started, I was out of shape, had very low lean muscle mass, struggled with back pain and sciatica, and felt tired all the time. It was tough at first – I started with just 2 days a week for 1 hour each, and I honestly dreaded it. But after 2 years, I started loving the routine, so much that I gradually increased my sessions to 4 days, and now I’m working out 7 days a week! I actually look forward to getting up and doing the exercises now.

Tasks that used to be a struggle, like lifting a case of water at the grocery store or weed eating the lawn, are now simple and effortless.

Derek is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to his work. He customizes the program to fit your level, lifestyle, and skill set. There have been times when I had pain, and with just a few specific moves, he was able to alleviate it.

I highly recommend Embly Mobility to anyone looking to get in shape, gain muscle, boost their energy, or just feel better overall. This program has changed my life!"

“I came to Chambersburg Pa having recently gotten out of a wheelchair and still walking with a cane. I had all but given up on ever having a normal life again. I am 63 and riddled with old age! Coach had my best interests in mind ALWAYS and knew exactly what I needed and exactly how to get me there. I wasn't really looking to get my youthful physique back. I just wanted to walk unassisted again. He helped me regain my balance and strength all while gaining muscle. I had the confidence to lose the cane in 2 weeks!! I could go on forever. He is an honest trustworthy young man with integrity and knowledge far surpassing his youth. Please feel free to email me for a recommendation. The man is amazing!"

“After my osteopenia diagnosis I was so afraid of falling or re-injuring my back that I avoided tasks that I thought might cause further harm. Derek helped put it all in perspective for me and with a lot of trust in him to go outside my comfort zone, I have gone from grunting over picking up a 5 lb bag of sugar to carrying a case of water confidently. I’m stronger than I’ve been in years!”

“Working with Derek has been life-changing. After suffering a stroke, I struggled with tight muscles and limited mobility. Thanks to his expert guidance, I’ve not only regained movement but feel stronger and more capable every week. He knows how to treat tight, stiff muscles in a way that brings real relief, and he always keeps the sessions fun and engaging. He’s honest, encouraging, and truly cares about your progress. I’m grateful for his support and would recommend him to anyone looking to move better and feel better.”

“There’s a lady just a few years older than myself at my church who is completely hunched over and I looked at her and thought, that’s me in a few years if I don’t do something now – given my already poor posture and feeling the beginnings of a hunch in my neck and shoulders. That’s when I decided to take the referral from a friend of mine who I’d seen make tremendous progress [with Derek] and I’m so glad I did. Oh what a difference it’s made for me on a day to day basis! I have received so many comments on how much more upright I’m standing and I see it in the mirror too. I can finally lift my storage unit door again, carry my heavy bins, walking uphill has become so much easier, I can take my jacket off in the car rather than having to step out, and I could go on and on. I’m very grateful to have met Derek, though I wish I had him 20 years ago.”

“He’s a stand up guy who cares about you. I prefer to see him over my doctors who just push a pill rather than try to figure out what’s going on. I’m not doing back flips yet but he’s helped my neck pain and improved my posture which I’m thankful for.”

“Before I started working with Derek, I was over 200lbs, struggling to walk after multiple knee surgeries, and lifting even 5lbs felt impossible. At 45, making these changes seemed daunting, especially after being inactive for so long. But meeting Derek was a turning point in my life.

Derek’s expertise and dedication have been instrumental in my transformation. He created a customized program that focused on rebuilding my strength, starting with normal functions like walking. His approach is not only effective but also tailored to my specific needs, which made all the difference.

Now, nearly two years later, I’m proud to say I’m 145lbs and lifting heavy weights—a feat I never thought possible! Derek’s consistent support and guidance have given me back my confidence and health. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to make a real change in their life. If you’re considering a personal trainer, look no further. Derek is the best there is!"

“THE BEST! He's great at what he does and I love the fact that he is willing to listen to all my problems lol. He's like my trainer and therapist all in one! Thanks Derek!"

“Super calm and laid back vibe. He really helped me with my goals of weight loss and strength gaining. I was never very athletic but Derek guided me through ever exercise and never pushed me to do something I wasn’t comfortable with."

“I had to come up with a plan just to pick something up off the floor but now I just go do it. I can even get up and down from the floor – slowly, but I don’t have to go crawling on the floor to find something to prop my body onto to pull myself up anymore. I say this is not about losing weight like you think, it’s about what you can do that you couldn’t before.”

“He is FANTASTIC! I haven’t even done 10 sessions with him yet and I’m already seeing results. He is so friendly and knowledgeable. I told him specific areas I wanted to work on before my wedding and he has created a work out that targets those areas. I highly recommend him!!!”
