"In less than a year, Charith Madawela and Transform180 have turned me from a flabby, 50-something sloth who was winded after walking up a flight of stairs into a fit, energetic guy again.  Through a unique combination of exercises, tremendous coaching and support, and guidance on diet, I'm stronger than I've been since college and my waist size is going down. What makes Charith's approach so effective is the research behind what he does. He's a former aeronautical engineer, and he brings that analytical background into the exercise arena. The result is a smart, effective program tailored specifically to my goals. The key to fitness success, though, is sticking with your program. No matter how good the game plan, it's useless if you're not working. Charith pushes hard, but he does so in a way that keeps you coming back because the experience is positive. Exhausting, even painful, but positive.  I truly can't say enough good things about Charith and the Transform180 approach." -Greg Witter (Seattle, WA)

It is not always how you start but how you finish." Over the past 5 years I have gained about 60lbs over my average weight due to health reasons, mostly due from my foot surgery and chronic foot pain.   I was looking for a way to lose the weight with someone who could train me w my health issues and work with my schedule.  Colin was immediately patient, respectful and accommodating. He has a positive attitude and is extremely respectful of my level of physical activity and limitations. He pushes me every time (in a healthy and productive way) and I can feel and see the results. It also helps that we laugh together since I am a bit all over the place due to my lack of balance and strength and I  can be hard on myself. He is not laughing at me but with me, which i view as i sign of trust and teamwork. He also helps create motivation, which I can sometimes lack after a long day.   I am glad I decided on Transform 180 training to help me work towards my goals- to lose weight, gain balance and build strength. -Maria G.

"I have been working out with Jordan for almost 3 months now and he is the first personal trainer I have been able to stick with and believe in. He is not only professional and knowledgeable about exercises, movement and anatomy; but he also has an incredible energy and spirit that could motivate a wall to do burpees without stopping. Before joining TransFORM 180, I religiously did cardio but was not comfortable weight training – Jordan was able to quickly help me gain comfort in the gym and has taught me to be comfortable weight training even on my own. Over the last 3 months, I have lost ~5% body fat and feel toned for the first time in a long time. Although all personal training can get expensive, I believe TransFORM 180 provides the best value in Seattle due to it’s structured and longer than typical sessions! If you’re looking for an amazing trainer – Jordan is your man!" -Amanda Horton ( Seattle, WA)

"Charith is great to work with. He provides focused, individualized & challenging workouts as well as guidance on other contributing areas (sleep, food, etc.) to get the best results.

If you are serious about transforming your body, I highly recommend Charith!" -Breanna DeVilbiss (Seattle, WA)

"I started training with Charith when I found a Groupon deal for 6 sessions, but I have been thoroughly impressed and I have been training for about 3 months now. I can definitely say that when it comes to a personal trainer, he's as good as it gets. 

Charith has this great approach to training that make you achieve so much more than you would have achieved on your own. His exercise plans are very scientific and effective. He plans the exercises meticulously for each client separately, so what you will be doing is customized to your body and requirements. His experience makes it fun to train with him, he knows perfectly when to give you a break for water and when to push you beyond your limits. Each time you would go home feeling happy about what you managed to achieve in the gym. 
As a person, Charith is a very down to earth and friendly. He is a great motivator and he has this knack of getting you do your best. Over the 3 months I have been training with him, I have almost doubled my strength, gained a lot of muscle definition and lost body fat. I would highly recommend training with Transform 180.” –Vikas Bhardwaj (Seattle, WA)

Check him out and you'll soon be getting compliments on how great you look.” –Harlan Bennett (Seattle, WA)

Collin has been a fabulous trainer. I work regularly by myself but tend to stick to things I am comfortable with, like the treadmill and lifting weights...etc. Collin has me boxing and trying out new and innovative ways of exercising and getting my heart rate up. I have a wonderful time, laugh a lot and feel great when I finish my work out. What more could you ask for in a training experience? -Melissa M. (Seattle, WA)

When I started to train at TransFORM180 I wasn't obese, but definitely had some weight to lose and wanted to be in better shape. What I particularly like about Jordan is that he looks at me as a whole as opposed to giving me some exercise and counting the sets and reps. Since joining TransFORM 180 and training with Jordan he has helped me to tone and strengthen my body. The eating plan that Charith developed for me has helped me lose some weight. 
Jordan is extremely encouraging and pushes me to achieve the goals we have set. The workouts are always different and I look forward to each session. Jordan is very personable and a well rounded trainer.
If you would like to get fit or lose weight....check out TransFORM 180! -Brenda Brown (Seattle, WA)

Before I joined Transform180, I was your classic couch potato. I barely got any exercise and found it hard to workout at a gym. What's worse is that when I did my gym window shopping, the trainers seemed like salesmen rather than fitness trainers.
Since I joined Transform180 five months ago, things have changed. I now look forward to my appointments. I have a lot more energy and just generally feel better at work and home. My trainer, Nate, keeps me focused at the gym by making a workout plan and making me stick to it. What I like best is that, when necessary, he can improvise and change things up. He keeps track of my workouts so I know what my progress is. Thats the reason I stay motivated with my appointments. Nate is a fun guy and keeps things light at the gym which just makes you feel comfortable with your workouts.
I would love to see a shower room installed in the gym but that doesn't deter me from having great appointments. The owner Charith was the perfect representative for his gym. He himself is in great shape and always has words of encouragement for me. Rather than being an aggressive salesman, he gave me helpful tips when I toured the facility.
In short, Transform180 gave me the help I needed to get into shape. I am very confident that I can continue exceeding my fitness goals at Transform180. -Dorwin G. (Seattle, WA)

"I've been training with Charith for close to a year and he offers a consistent challenge. He keeps detailed logs of progress, gives positive feedback on how to improve form, and he pushes me to new levels each week. If you need to talk the entire session then I recommend a therapist, if you want to improve your diet and physical well-being then Charith is your guy." -Bradford King (Seattle, WA)

"I've been training with Charith at TransFORM 180 for about 3 months.  I'm almost 40 and am now stronger than I've ever been in my life.  He listens to my fitness goals and tailors the program to fit my needs.  He is also very good at findng my weaker areas to work on.  He is really knowledgable and encouraging.  Moreover, I have a great time working hard and learning every hour we train together. 
Charith has developed a whole fitness philosophy including strength, cardio, diet/nutrition, and rest that accomplishes a healthy lifestyle.  He weaves this philosophy into the each of his programs. I highly recommend this trainer - you'll love the process and the results." -Merideth Randles (Seattle, WA)

"I highly recommend Charith Madawela as a personal trainer. He is thorough, approachable, and genuinely desires to see his clients meet their goals inside and outside of the gym.  His impressive knowledge combined with his pure passion for exercise made me confident he would develop a successful workout plan for me.  What impressed me even more, is the fact that he practices what he preaches. He actually walks the talk.  Charith personally knows the effort, pain, and sacrifice it takes to reach your ideal body and he is there to encourage you every step of the way." -Michelle P. (Seattle, WA)

"Training with Charith has been a complete surprise because I was able to get results so quickly. After ONLY 10 days I noticed a significant reduction in weight around my waist and muscle gain, but it was my lady who pointed it out to me that I was looking slimmer and with more muscle definition. That certainly was a plus!

What this did for me was give me added confidence that I was on track to achieve my fitness goal of dropping my waist size 2 inches and chiseling out my upper body. I'm getting results and Charith knows when you need to take a day off to recover. 'Growth happens during the off times' is what he reminded me of.
It also reminded me why I sleep early...to rise early to train. It has made me reduce my alcohol consumption and focus more on my goals in life.  Charith kept talking about confidence and state of mind being more important than physical results in the beginning which I didn't pay attention to too much.
Now, I know exactly what he was talking about and it's why I'm slowly but surely becoming a new member of the 6am club! Let's get it!" -Angelo O. (Seattle, WA)

"I highly recommend Charith, I know personally in 2011 I lost 95lbs and 25lbs came back to me so in order for me to get back down to where I want to be I asked Charith to help me on getting a personal workout routine for me planned out. The one thing I love most about his enthusiasm and passion for personal fitness and health is he has the uncanny knack of being able to get that one more squat, lunge, deadlift everything out of you and helps you go above and beyond where you didn't even personally think you could go, he can see it in you as to how far you can really go then utilizes this in helping you go further then expected." -Hillary Lehmann (Kirkland, WA)
