I just had a baby and was trying my hardest to lose
the weight. After 7 months of doing it alone I finally realized I
needed some professional help. I did a lot of research and tried one
other trainer before finding Rob. After the first session with Rob I
was hooked. He truly helped me get back into my original pre-baby form
just in time for the summer.
He is an excellent motivator and always on time and
I truly look forward to our sessions every week. He has not only
helped me lose the weight but I am much stronger and far more
knowledgeable of the gym and the machines because of his instructions.
This has helped me to have much more productive workouts on the days he
is not training me. He has also explained to me what foods I should be
eating and avoiding as well.
The sessions are always challenging and Rob is a
complete professional. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a
personal trainer to give Rob one shot and they will be as hooked as I
am!

As a performer and
professional dancer I have
always had an athletic build,
but struggled not only with
the few extra pounds that
always seemed to come back
even if I did‘extreme-diet’
them off, but also with the
way I felt about my body.
After my first meeting with
Rob, I knew things were about
to change. His attention to
individuality and sensitivity
for attaining results through
self-change is indescribable.
His energy was almost
overwhelming at first,
thinking to myself, “is he
just that excited because he
wants me to get pumped up
about working out in a new
way, or his he just this
passionate about what he
does?” Turns out it was
both. He was able to show me
for once in my life that I
was an athlete, and should
be training as one. Turns
out everything I thought
would make me bigger only
made me smaller, tighter,
and toned. My world of
working out was flipped
upside down. My hour and
half work outs 3-4 times a
week turned into 30-45
minute work outs 5 times a
week, and my cardio changed
from treadmill and
elliptical boringness to
dead lifts, snatches, and
burpees galore. I was hooked
His
knowledge for sport-specific
training was unreal. As a
dancer and aerialist I use
my body for work. The faster
I can turn, the higher I can
jump, the longer I can
balance, the quicker I can
climb up the silk fabric,
the more power and strength
I had to barrel turn my
entire body through the air,
the more efficient I was
going to be in my
profession. I never thought
of this when I worked out
previously, but maybe that’s
because I was so obsessed
with cardio and crunches and
“not bulking up.” Rob
introduced me to specific
dance related exercises that
he had created.
Understanding and learning
about the range of motion
each of my muscles goes
through was something I had
never dissected. But when
you’ve been standing at the
ballet barre since you were
5, it only makes sense that
you don’t think about it.
Rob took the time to find
new ways specific to my body
that would enhance my
performance levels.
About 6 weeks into our
training, I left to do a
performing job. Now was the
true test. I had to do it on
my own without Rob there
every workout to encourage
me. Fortunately, it felt
like he was still there. He
constantly checked in with
me, and I wanted to check in
with him too, because I was
achieving my goals.
I will never forget a
pivotal moment in the gym
without Rob. I was doing
some box jumps and a barbell
complex, and a guy
approached me in the gym and
asked, “what are you
training for?” And that’s
when I replied, “Just my
life.” And it’s true. Rob
has changed my life, how I
look, and how I look at
myself. He is more
motivating, enthusiastic,
and loving than he will ever
know. Yeah, Rob’s pretty
tough too, but it’s the
whole package that makes him
such a great trainer.

I was in
my 50’s, overweight, out of
shape and concerned about my
health. I really don’t like to
work out and I told Rob at our
first session that if he was
mean and too hard on me I
would fire him. But I
immediately felt comfortable
with Rob and knew that I had
nothing to be concerned about.
He’s not easy, but he has a
demeanor that makes me want to
come back to the gym.
Since
training with Rob I have lost
over 60 pounds, and my
cholesterol, blood sugar and
liver levels have made
remarkable improvements. I am
free of diabetes, no longer
take medication, and my
strength and overall fitness
has significantly increased.
Rob offers support and
guidance with my diet and has
helped me to find healthy
foods that I enjoy eating and
will continue my weight loss.
Most of all Rob is a great
person I look forward to
seeing. He makes working out,
something I dreaded in the
past, a fun part of my new
healthier lifestyle.

I had lost over 300 pounds
with gastric bypass
surgery. 9 years later I
gained 70 back and I knew
it was time to up my game
and it was time to
workout. As soon as I
spoke to Rob the phone I
knew he was the guy for
the job. His sensitivity
came through and he talked
about his own mother and
how she had lost over 100
pounds and had a knee
replacement which I also
had. I needed someone I
knew understood. He keeps
my eye on the prize even
when I get negative. I
suffer from depression,
and coming to the gym
works 10 times better than
antidepressants and
shrinks. You’ve got to
meet him and see his
winning smile in person.
