I've been training with Tri-Active Endurance for about a year, and the experience has been…read moreoutstanding. As someone with a demanding schedule and ambitious endurance goals, I've found Rob's approach to be exactly what I need. He designs smart, highly individualized training programs that fit real life, without compromising performance. The strength and stability work we focused on this year played a huge role in one of my biggest athletic accomplishments to date: swimming 12 miles across Lake Tahoe this past July in just over 5 1/2 hours. The final stretch was brutally hard, and I'm confident that the work I did at Tri-Active was a major reason I was able to finish strong. What really sets Rob apart is his no-nonsense, practical coaching style. He understands that life, work, and family don't stop just because you're an endurance athlete, and he meets you where you are while still pushing you to be better. That same thoughtful approach showed up again recently when he helped my daughter fine-tune some key form issues as she looks toward continuing her sport at the collegiate level. If you're serious about your goals and want a coach who combines expertise, realism, and respect for the whole person, I can't recommend Tri-Active Endurance highly enough.

Since I started running in May 2013 I have done a couple dozen races and am currently training for…read moremy third half marathon. With that said, I have been strictly self-taught and had never met with a running coach. A friend asked if I was interested in attending their run clinic with her. While completely outside my comfort zone, I found myself here on a Saturday morning with my friend, 30+ other runners, and the owner and coaches. The four hour clinic started with a lecture and while most of the information wasn't necessarily new to me, it was nice to have some validation on what I already knew about running. I also got some practical information on how to improve. After the lecture part, we went outside for a dynamic warm up and were then divided into three groups and spent 25-30 minutes with each coach. My group started with strength training with Jeannine and I enjoyed learning some new warm up/strength moves that will directly benefit my running. Next up was indoor running with Rob, the owner. While the AirRunner machine takes a while to get used to, they are really cool. They are slightly curved and non-motorized and force (encourage?) you into a good neutral running position. The third stop was an outdoor run with David. Located right by the Iron Horse Trail, we took what we'd learned on the road and did 2 miles roundtrip. David gave great feedback, suggestions, and encouragement along the way. Tri-Active Endurance is an excellent, supportive space if you want to push yourself as a runner and/or as a new or seasoned triathlete. While I have no interest in biking or swimming, the run clinic has already positively impacted my running. I think it was completely worth the four hours and $25. I am now considering a few additional sessions/run classes, as I found the coaches so approachable, skilled, and motivating.

Let me start by saying: I hate working out…read more Hate it. That's why I always have to work out with a trainer, because there's no way I'll go to the gym on my own. I've been working with David at Bread & Butter Fitness for 2+ years and he's the BEST trainer I've ever had. He's incredibly knowledgeable and his dynamic approach ensures your workouts will never be boring. I only do 30 min sessions but the range of compound exercises he throws at me means I always get a great workout in that short time. (Dare I say, I might even be starting to enjoy it!) One of the things I like the most is that he really listens. When I decided I wanted to focus more on improving strength + balance rather than reaching a specific number on the scale, he was 100% on board and didn't try to guilt me into dieting/calorie counting. He offers the perfect balance of pushing me hard but also respecting when something doesn't feel quite right for my body and offering expert modifications. He's also incredibly positive (without having that fake cheerleader-type vibe) and anytime I feel discouraged that I can't do a certain move or lift a certain weight he always reminds me of how far I've come. If you want a trainer that's committed to your long-term health and getting you there in a sustainable way, Bread & Butter Fitness is the way to go!

So when I started at Raw I expected to workout in the same manner; see weights, use weights. I was wrong. After an evaluation from Tom, the owner and head trainer, I was soon doing exercises that I had never done before. Strengthening parts of my body that would improve my "function," and thus my overall strength. There is a pretty heavy focus on legs. With individual training and group training, you are often working out with other athletes, be it adults or students. I'm very happy with my performance after starting in this gym!

Thanks to Tory and Tom and all the members at Raw, I am Finally Confident in my body. Thanks to Nor Cal Power lifting I am happy with my body and how I am making slow and healthy changes. Its been 10 years since I have feel confident to wear shorts and tank tops. But with my second Nor Cal Power lifting Comp coming up I can't wait to rock a bright pink tank and shorts. Every one at the Gym is super nice and friendly. No clicks like most of the other gyms in the area. I come 3-4 days a week and think the price is totally worth it. One of the owners who are both personal trainers/ sport coaches are always at the gym. They are very easy to talk too and will help modify or challenge your thinking or exercises. The owners stay up to date with sport science and don't believe in over training. This gym is not like any others in the area. They have top weight/power lifting equipment. I highly recommend this gym, Especially to women!

I was very unhappy with my health. My goal at that point was to some day do a triathlon. Some day . My last review was 6 mos into working through personal training. Since then I switched over to group training. I do at least one class a week. Well, I did achieve my triathlon goal. In August 2015 I did my first sprint triathlon. In October my first Olympic distance tri. In December my first half marathon. Then this past October I completed a half Ironman! Over this time I have not had any significant injuries. I have consistently been able to set higher goals and meet them. These changes happened because of the culture of fitness I was introduced to by PMPT. We've always focused on form and discipline. It's never been about higher weight, more reps, or any degree of competition. I learned the value of slow, incremental gains. Let me also preface that this is all completely new to me. I had never been an endurance athlete nor a gym head. My time with PMPT represents the most significant period of fitness in my life. Ive never done anything like this before and I know I would not have if PMPT hadn't been part of the shift in my culture. In March my first Marathon awaits. Then the full Ironman calls...someday. I know that PMPT will be part of getting me across the finish line.

The trainers are super approachable, friendly and excited about fitness. I love all the outdoor activities they offer such as the stair group, trail running and foundation. It's nice to have that community feel outside the gym. I have been going to see Rich for years and he keeps getting better and better. Classes usually start with a warm up, dynamic stretches, some cardio and or foundation. That takes about 7 minutes and the remainder of the class is dedicated to the workout, usually intervals, but he does switch it up quite a bit. If you are looking for longer periods of cardio I would try one of the classes offered on the weekends, such as the stair group....that's a killer workout. I love the variety of classes ranging from mobility and foundation to intense interval training and strength. This is a small gym and there no showers that are offered at the larger gyms, but it's not intimidating, they offer reasonable prices and everyone from the trainers to the members are super friendly. Give it a try!!
