Raven is a FANTASTIC trainer! I was never an athlete growing up so I had no idea how to workout. About 7 years ago I had an injury that caused a bulging disc in my spine and after 4 years of chiropractic care to manage the pain I finally decided to have surgery. The surgeon recommended that I start working out and that's how I stumbled upon Raven. His background in kinesiology gave me confidence that he was going to teach me how to workout in a way that wouldn't make my injury worse, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The first thing we did was talk about what my goals were. Based on that he tailored our sessions to fit. After just 3 weeks of working with him I was already feeling the benefits -- I was stronger and more importantly I wasn't in as much pain! He's has tons of great knowledge and his teaching style is just amazing. He knows exactly when to push you without being a drill sergeant, and he knows exactly when to give you a break and tell you an interesting story to distract you. He's patient and is willing to explain how/why an exercise works an area of your body. And if you're like me and certain exercises just hurt too much to do because of injury, he's quick to think of an alternative that will give you the same benefit without the pain. If you're serious about getting in shape hire Raven!

He's a great sensei, who helped craft me into the threat I've remained to be ever since I've worked with him.

Over the last year and a half I’ve trained with Brian on a regular basis. Brian loves fitness and knows how to make every workout different and challenging. He is constantly switching things up and keeping it interesting. Brian is very skilled and knowledgeable, but what I like about Brian is that he is also very down to earth and fun. This is why we have also 'clicked' and become friends outside of our days of training. I HIGHLY recommend Brian for anyone looking for strong nutritional guidance, a great fitness program, and just a darn solid individual to train them! There was a reason he was VOTED BEST OF CHICAGO!

Tommy has been a friend and music business mentor to me for many, many years. He has lived and worked in two of the major music cities in the US (Nashville and Austin) and has worked with well known artists and indie up-and-comers. He knows his way around not only the business side, but the recording studio, the live venue, the travel, the songwriting, the band dynamic; pretty much anything about the entertainment industry He's a true pro that brings a positive attitude to his work that is fun and infectious among his colleagues and students. I highly recommend working with Tommy Held!
