I started working out with Rob in February of 2019 and the transformation I have experienced is more than I could have imagined. I have a very bad hip condition and found that Rob specializes in clinical patients and joint problems. Rob put together a meal plan and workout that would lead me down a road I never expected.

I needed to a) lose some weight and b) build some muscle and this personal training center was on my way home from work so I thought I would give it a go. I am really, really glad that I did!
Pros:
*I got great fitness advice on exercise and diet. I run outside of my strength training and my trainers would ask about when I ran and how often so that they could coordinate it with my training sessions
*One-on-one training with one (or two trainers) - your choice but also dependent upon scheduling
*The gym is clean, well-maintained and inviting
*There's a great focus on form and proper technique
