I had such a great experience with Upright Athlete for PT! I worked with Gabe for several months on SI joint pain that i believe I’d gotten from improper form while weight training. Not only did Gabe show me exercises that helped me feel better but he was so helpful with showing me proper form on the moves that had caused my pain in the first place. He was also super helpful with overall fitness questions. I highly recommend this business! I hope to stay pain-free but if I don’t I will definitely be back.

UA has an incredible group of PTs. The entire staff is friendly and very professional. Patricia was incredible to work with and extremely patient with my rehabilitation. She has me back to 100% and ready to attack workouts again.

I highly recommend Patricia at Upright Athlete PT! She has made this my best PT experience. I previously went to two different PT’s for the same issue that brought me to Upright - knee/hip discomfort with high-impact activities. The other PTs were always nice, but the routines felt more like a band-aid than a long-term fix. Often, I would improve and be pain-free while doing only a small amount of activity (e.g., running), but the issue would flare up again as I increased frequency and/or duration. Over three months, Patricia helped me reach my goal of painlessly running, playing tennis, and lifting weights with steady increases in both duration and frequency. She is incredibly knowledgable and creative in creating workout routines. Her exercises are challenging, but the supersets are well-rounded and get great results. That said, she always took my feedback into account and provided modifications if needed. Going forward, I will continue to see Patricia every 3-4 weeks for a semi-private training workout, which is an amazing service at Upright. It gives me confidence knowing I can continue to check in with her as I increase my physical activity, heading off any potential injuries or imbalances. The facility itself has everything you could want for PT/training. It can be very busy during peak times, but it never feels too crowded. If you prefer a more low-key environment, aim for the early afternoon. Patricia and Upright PT were perfect for my situation, and I’m sure they will be great for yours, too.

This place is great! Both a rehab side and a gym. They have the latest and greatest equipment and their PTs know their stuff. They take a practical approach to assessing the problem and then get straight to work helping you fix it. I appreciate that almost every visit starts with a progress check which helps me realize the work I am doing is helping! Gabe in particular has been great to work with. He knows his stuff, runs a tight ship and I feel like I’m getting the most out of every single session I have with him. He’s always accessible for questions. Should I have any and he’s quick to make adjustments when needed. I cannot recommend the place highly enough!

10/10 highly recommend! I started PT at Upright Athlete after a major hip reconstruction surgery. I could barely walk, let alone run. With the help of Gabe, and then Dillon, I was able to backpack Yellowstone National Park 6 months after surgery. Now, one year later, I’m running 2 miles a day. I feel like I have my life back, pain-free with full mobility! I couldn’t have recovered so quickly and comprehensively without the highly skilled support provided to me at Upright Athlete. Forever a fan!
