At one point, I even rotated my pelvis, which prevented me from working for about a month. After many visits with the chiropractor, I decided that it's time for me to workout to get my body stronger and prevent future injuries. I have now trained with Garrett for about a year now, and his emphasis on technique and form have helped me increase proprioception. My posture has improved and I'm more aware of my body positioning that I haven't had any other injuries while working. I've been going to "Group Training" class and it's very motivating to workout with others in a small group. The support from others have led me to be confident and push myself further, exceeding my limits. Garrett is very attentive, gives specific feedback, and patient. These characteristics are especially helpful for a beginner like me!

Focus on getting my blood pressure down, increasing mobility, strenghtening my "core" and just improving my overall physical health. My blood pressure has dropped over 30 odd points and stays in good healthy range, my mobility has improved, and while there is still work to do, I am very happy with the progress I have achieved. He has tailored an excercise program that keeps all parts of my body moving. He alternates the excercises, keeps it fresh and while pushing me, he makes sure that I am not hurting myself. We use rollers and other tools to keep me loose and flexible. This has been a great life decision for me and I look forward to a long healthy relationship.

He knew exactly what to do to build my core, protect my injury and gain strength and fitness. Some of his exercises were exactly what the physical therapist had me do, but he also had his own that took me even further than physical therapy. My back position is key to therapy and exercising without injury - Alex had laser vision to make sure I didn't deviate. I'm now stronger than ever, working out regularly and more importantly, living without pain. My only regret is that I didn't find Alex sooner after my injury recurrence (or better yet, prior to the recurrence). BTW, I've had multiple trainers in different cities over the years - nobody has come close to Alex's expertise. Icing on the cake is he is funny, smart and a real pleasure to spend time with. Highly recommend!

Rob Ramey is hands-down one of the best trainers I have worked with. Rob strikes the perfect…read morebalance between knowing when to push me and when to ease back. I was very athletic up until my late 20's, but a series of injuries and too much time at the office had rendered me overweight, out of shape and suffering from chronic pain. I've currently been working with Rob for approximately four months and I have lost weight, drastically improved my strength and cardio status, and I have experienced more pain-free days than I had in the past year. Rob's athleticism is enhanced by his commitment to continuing education in sports medicine. He has an extensive understanding of the human body and biodynamics that has helped me to repair the dysfunction I was experiencing from old injuries and imbalances, while simultaneously getting me in stronger, better shape. Rob has a great variety of fitness equipment at his studio. Workouts are lively and fun (and hard, of course), and Rob does a great job of introducing new and dynamic exercises to keep the workouts from getting stale. In addition to the physical aspects of working with Rob, I also benefit from Rob helping me with goal-setting, diet, weight management and my routine outside of our sessions together. Not surprisingly, when you fix one area of your life, the others tend to follow. I know working with a trainer is more expensive than a low-end gym membership, but Rob's pricing is very reasonable for the quality instruction that you get. The way I look at it, I'm basically paying for guaranteed results. I highly recommend working with Rob--he has a great range--whether you're looking to get back into shape, or whether you're in top gear and want to take it to the next level, Rob at SYNRG has the knowledge and ability to get you there.

Six stars! Rob, at SYNRG Fitness, has transformed my life…read more Less than a year ago I shared my dream of becoming a climber with him, and he structured a personalized program of training geared to the specific requirements of alpine mountaineering. With constant support, attention to detail, thoughtful management of training components and a NO LIMITS philosophy, Rob has taken this mid-fifties mother of 3 from her living room to the summit of Mt Rainier, several California 14ers, and coming soon, to the top of Kilimanjaro! Flexibility, agility, balance and strength, Rob brings all the components together for an exquisite total package that is much greater than the sum of its parts. His in-depth understanding of human mechanics and comprehensive knowledge of training modalities, coupled with a genuine warmth and caring for others(that is incredibly motivating), make Rob unique in the world of fitness trainers. If you want to change your life but you don't know how to go about it; if you don't have time to build an efficient, effective and targeted workout program through research and study; if you want to see results you just can't believe, and see them quickly; talk to Rob at SYNRG Fitness. The only doubt I have is: do I deserve to feel this good??!!

I wish I could give Sid more stars because 5 is just "great" but his training is excellent. After…read morejust a few weeks, I started recommending this place to everyone I knew because my back pain disappeared! It's not even the reason I started going here (reason was to get in shape and healthier), but it was a very happy side effect of Sid's gentle restorative approach to fitness. For years, I would toss and turn at night from back pain that gradually increased with each hour, sometimes getting me out of bed at 3 or 4am. If I didn't get out of bed when it got bad, then by morning I'd feel practically disabled, struggling to get out of bed with intense pain that felt like my back was going to break just sitting up. But after just a few weeks with Sid, I realized that I'd been sleeping well and popping right out of bed with no pain!!! It was so amazing, and I do credit that to Sid's restorative training approach. Sid's does personal one-on-one training in his own private gym, so there was never anyone else there using the gym at the same time, which was nice because the focus was 100% on helping ensure I was in the correct positions -- not squatting with my knees wrong, or pulling a stretch band with my elbows or shoulders in a damaging position, feet in correct position, etc. If anything was in a position that could cause injury working out that way, he would quickly let me know how to correct it -- and that was HUGE for me, because I know for a fact (from many workout injuries) that I am the type of person who works out incorrectly. Sid helped prevent that, letting me know if I was doing something correctly, or need to fix my position. But there is so much more! I wasn't expecting this, but he also talked to me each time about things like diet, and what I'm doing on my own time to ensure success, and why or why not certain things I'd been trying were (or weren't) effective at this time, at my current fitness level. He really helped me start thinking differently about what I was eating, how it was affecting my body's ability to function properly, how much and even when to eat, how even little tweaks in a restaurant order can save me the amount of calories equal to a one-hour workout. His information helped me decide to stop drinking one particular type of drink I'd often buy, and switch it for a much better one. I could send him questions any time, he is very responsive. He actually seems to genuinely care about you being successful, and is there to help. Sid was, in my experience, the absolute best kind of personal trainer I could ever hope for. I didn't even know they could be this good. Now, I personally tried Sid's personal training gym as a treat for myself for Christmas, as I can't normally afford such a thing. But I really need fitness help, and I liked his website -- it's focus on restorative exercise sounded exactly like what I needed, and I wanted to try it. So I did, and I can't wait until I can go back again! I do absolutely recommend Sid at Back to Fitness to anyone who can afford it because it was truly life-changing for me, and I learned so much even in the short time I was there, and my back still feels better (thank you so much, Sid!). I really can't wait to go back here again.

I have been training with Jerimiah Mahan for almost a year. I am a stay at home mom who got back…read moreinto gym after a 4 year hiatus. Like most women, I love to do cardio. I was honestly afraid of weightlifting because I was worried that I would start to look like one of those meatheads you always see at the gym, lifting too much weight and grunting. I was told that weightlifting would actually burn more fat & calories than just doing cardio exercises. I decided to give it a try and I discovered that I LOVE weightlifting. Jerimiah is an excellent trainer. He is positive and supportive, all the time. He is very encouraging and wants me to push myself every workout. What really impressed me about Jerimiah is his knowledge about weightlifting and the body. If I tell him my back is sore, he knows what stretches to do to help relieve that, and reasons behind it. He is full of information and I am lucky to have a trainer to knows so much, yet at the same time is constantly taking classes to learn more. He has helped me tone up and build muscle and realize that strong is the new skinny.
