Rutstein on Fitness - What Experts Are Saying

"The day you realize you are a divine child loved by us and your Creator, Jeff's book will help guide you to a new life."
Bernie Siegel, M.D.
Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Help Me To Heal

"Jeff Rutstein's personal story of using exercise to break the cycle of addiction is very inspiring, and he shares his hard-won wisdom in this clear, easy-to-follow book. His emphasis on "mindful movement" to reduce stress and feel better is a refreshing and welcome change from many exercise books that focus solely on appearance."
Carol Krucoff
Co-author of Healing Moves
founding editor of the Health Section of The Washington Post

"Mr. Jeff Rutstein has written an excellent book directed at individuals who are not professional weightlifters or gym enthusiasts. The book promotes exercise in a measured approach that encourages people in the recovery phase of their lives to use his methods to promote healing and build psychological and spiritual strength to live life to the fullest once again. Patients undergoing cancer therapy or recovering from surgery are an ideal population of people to benefit from this book. I strongly recommend to my patients that they read this book in it's entirety and put Mr. Rutstein's lessons to work in their lives."
David J. Sugarbaker, M.D.
Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School

"With caring, empathy and candor, Jeff genuinely connects with readers who desperately need to feel that someone understands where they are coming from. Having walked in their shoes, Jeff offers readers hope, and more importantly, a practical plan of action that can put them on the path to recovery...starting today."

Co-author of The 30-Minute Fitness Solution: A Four-Step Plan for Women of All Ages

"If you suffer from depression or related problems, you need to know what is in this book. Jeff's striking story, and his experience with many clients, illustrates the tremendous psychiatric benefits of a rational exercise program."
Harrison G. Pope, Jr., M.D.
Co-author of The Adonis Complex
Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

"Rutstein on Fitness is absolutely amazing. It is miraculous that Jeff made such a complete and successful turn around in his life. This book details his fitness and lifestyle philosophy and will lead many individuals to physical and mental fitness."
Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D.
Author of Strength Training for Seniors
Former advisor to The President's Council on Physical Fitness

"The story of Jeff's rise from personal adversity and a severe substance abuse problem, to great success as a personal trainer, is truly inspiring. However, to call this an exercise book would be akin to calling an F-15 jet fighter a nice little plane. Jeff has integrated an approach to fitness which recognizes the interface between mind and body. Rutstein on Fitness is a terrific exposition of his technique and well worth reading by anyone who has an interest in obtaining optimal health and improving their emotional life."
Alexander Vuckovic, M.D.
Co-author of Under Observation
Best Doctors in America, 2001-2004

"Jeff has forged his skills as a fitness guru in the crucible of his own struggle to reclaim control of his life. The very fact of his own achievement is an inspiration to many. In his straightforward, unpretentious manner, Jeff imparts his knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and health (mental and physical)."
