After being inspired by several life changing experiences, I began searching for a training option to lose weight. At the age of 56, and having physically worked for 38 years I had been struggling with shoulder pain and lower back problems. I spent a few months researching gyms in the area, even visiting them to speak with the owners and trainers. I still maintain a very physical work schedule, and made sure to express my concern with getting hurt or being unable to work. Rob was the only trainer to take the time to understand my concern, educate me in the process, and give me an idea of what to expect. He reviewed my past history (daily activity rate, past injuries, and overall general health) to help me set a realistic goal for my weight loss. Rob crafted a program for me, and he coached me at my own pace. Rob’s knowledge, passion, and commitment to making sure that form and execution of the movements is more important than the amount of weight used, has enabled me to work hard without the fear of injury. In just 5 months under Rob’s supervision, I have lost 30 pounds, regained total movement in my shoulder and I no longer suffer from lower back pain. My story is not unique, as I have seen the results he has had with other people. However, without Rob and his gym, I would not be where I am today. I believe in Rob’s passion and commitment, and am grateful for the knowledge he has bestowed upon me.
