Working with Trent is motivating. His individualized programs, adaptability, and in-depth knowledge are invaluable. I was hesitant to work with a trainer at first, but Trent’s patience and adaptability made each program possible. I’ve learned a lot from him about how to push myself past what I thought were my limits. Ultimately, working with Trent is what helps me persist and grow stronger.
I began working with Trent six weeks after my abdominal surgery, following my surgeon's recommendation. He has been truly incredible! As I approach 12 weeks post-op on September 22, I can confidently say that working with Trent has significantly accelerated my healing process. I'm now running six miles a day, and I genuinely believe it's a result of his support. Before the surgery, I was an avid runner, and I had concerns about returning to my previous level of fitness. Not only has Trent helped me regain my running ability, but he has also made me stronger overall. His professionalism and encouragement have been incredibly motivating, boosting my confidence along the way. I highly recommend Trent for anyone seeking a trainer who practices trauma-informed care while also pushing you to exceed your limits. As someone who struggles with anxiety and often feels intimidated in a gym setting, I truly appreciate how comfortable he has made me feel. I’m so grateful for this experience and thrilled to have him as my trainer!
Just had a first session with Trent and I’m couldn’t be more excited! I had never touched a barbell before and was always so intimidated by gym equipment. He got me feeling confident, strong and motivated in just one session! He’s knowledgeable, patient, sincere and sooo encouraging. Looking forward to getting stronger with his help! Highly highly recommend. Thanks Trent!
I’ve been working with Trent on building strength and balance and the process has been hugely beneficial. I injured my back badly a few years ago which led to some heavy compensation on the one side of my body. He’s taught me a range of targeted warmups/stretches, accessory lifts, and proper technique for compound lifts. The dude knows his stuff, is upbeat/encouraging, and he made good use of the full session. All around great experience and I highly recommend!!
I've been working with Trent for the past 8 months that has gotten me back into a consistent fitness routine after taking several years off—and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support and expertise. From day one, Trent has been incredibly knowledgeable and adaptable, taking the time to understand my individual goals and physical needs. He builds personalized programs that challenge me while also being flexible to daily recovery needs. What truly sets Trent apart is his flexibility and commitment. With a very demanding work schedule, I needed someone who could work with me, not just train me—and Trent has done exactly that. He’s always willing to adjust our sessions to make sure I stay on track, and that level of support has been a game-changer. Thanks to Trent, I’ve been able to stay consistent, motivated, and most importantly, I’m seeing real results. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer who’s not only skilled, but truly invested in your success.
