  • joel b. (Client)

    Prior to working with Rich, I knew very little about fitness. Rich helped me take it back to the basics and helped me understand how much a strong foundation can impact your progress/growth. He also helped me realize that it is just as important to recognize not just the calories you burn, but eat as well. Rich really took my fitness goals into consideration and customized a fitness plan that matched my goals. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Rich and would definitely recommend him.

  • shannon m. (client)

    I loved working with Rich! I honestly was so scared to go to the gym but Rich really helped me see that good exercises didn’t have to be scary or painful. He always worked around my injuries, and he was always super easy to talk to. Really enjoyed my time as his client.

  • evan c. (athlete)

    Great work every time, lots of challenging workouts that push your limits. Personal level connection along with plans designed for all types of athletes and ability levels.

  • dashawn w. (client)

    The workouts were very health-focused no wasted or unhelpful movements. Showed me functional moves that naturally help posture and strengthen muscles that traditional weightlifting doesn't emphasize.
