    This place is AWESOME! I will be 40 in December and was looking for something different yet challenging. I have not exercised for years and was not sure if I could do it. Brian and Peto do everything they can to encourage you, explain the exercises and push you beyond what you can imagine. I am only in my second full week and feel great (except sore muscles I never use!) and addicted to the classes. If you really want a challenge and feel great about yourself, do not hesitate to come here. The memebers here are extremely friendly, of all ages, shapes and sizes. I never feel out of place and I always feel welcomed. Brian is passionate about his work and you will pick up on that the moment you walk in. I highly recommed Rugged Fitness in Wethersfield!

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Make sure that the trainer you are hiring has the proper credentials. There are a lot of companies that will "certify" someone as a personal trainer after only a weekend course. Proper certifications include CSCS, NSCA CPT, ACSM and NASM. Also a degree in exercise science is also a good indicator of a legitimate trainer.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. No matter what people try to tell you, there is no quick fix for losing weight. Sustainable weight loss requires a true lifestyle change. It doesn't have to be all at once, but the only way to lose weight and keep it off is to change your behavioral patterns.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. What is their experience and credentials?
How long have they been in their field?
Do they have any references?

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. One of the first things people will notice about our facility is that there are no exercise machines. The majority of traditional exercise machines overtrain primary muscles while weakening stabilizer muscles as well as promoting poor movement patterns by working to isolate and strengthen one muscle group at a time. If you think about it, when do you ever use one muscle at a time in any other activity in your life? The answer is that you don’t, and if you only train muscles that way, you are ultimately working against your body’s natural systems.

Q. Write your own question and answer it.

A. What education or certifications do I possess?

I earned my bachelors degree in exercises science from UCONN with a minor in sport nutrition. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the NSCA. I am also an HKC Certified kettlebell instructor, a certified TRX instructor and trained in Wellness Coaching and the Art of Strength.
