Kecia E. says, "Coach Rob is an exceptional fitness and accountability partner. His depth of knowledge is top-tier, but what truly sets him apart is his sincerity. Your goals become his goals, and he takes them seriously—pushing when you need it, encouraging when motivation dips, and grounding you with facts that keep you focused and present.
What I appreciate most is Rob’s professionalism, persistence, and overall demeanor. His vibe is just as important to me as the workouts themselves.
Before working with Rob, I’d only worked with fitness instructors in group settings, but had never worked with a personal trainer before. From day one, Rob met me where I was—demonstrating exercises, correcting my form, and showing up with the kind of energy and positivity that makes a real difference. I’m someone who can be hard on myself (or a bit overly critical), so having a coach who brings steady encouragement and positive reinforcement has been huge.
That’s not to say he goes easy—he just truly considers his clients. And the results speak for themselves. In just over eight weeks, I’ve seen noticeable improvements in my strength, mobility, flexibility, mood, and physical confidence. I didn’t set aesthetic goals in the beginning—I just wanted to feel strong, move with more ease, and find a consistent outlet for stress. But the progress I’ve made—inside and out—has been incredible.
If you’re looking for someone who’s both highly skilled and genuinely invested in your success, Rob’s your guy." Read more
