Trail is a great basketball coach. I’ve trained with him for a month and already see improvements, especially in my shooting. He structures lessons with a plan and introduces new things step-by-step so I can make progress without feeling overwhelmed. This approach was especially helpful for shooting because I had to unlearn old habits while simultaneously learning the correct form. I look forward to continue training with him.

I’ve been with Trail for about 5 +years. When I started training with him I had bad back issues…I suffer from L4/L5 herniation. I was told by my doctor that I would never be able to run but thanks to Trail he helped me improve my core, glutes, and legs, so now I can run everyday, lift heavy, and move easier without pain. Trail definitely pushed me and has helped me improve myself image.

Both my son and I had an amazing experience. I was working out 1 on 1 and even though weight lifting is not my favorite.... I was very consistent and Trail was truly the best...especially legs and butt ; ). He also helped me with my shoulder injury. He actually also worked with my teenage son and not only inspired him to get in shape but my son now still weight lifts and loves it. Trail also not only helped him find basketball which decreased his gaming but even got him into a sport (basketball) on the highschool team after only playing for a few months. I cannot thank him enough for being such an amazing inspiration to our family. We moved away but when we are in town we still try to make time to train with such a gem!!!

Trail was able to customize my workouts specifically for post partum c-section. He is very familiar with what is allowed and what should be done to strengthen pelvic core muscles. He helped me slowly gain my strength and muscle back in my core, legs and glutes. After several months of training with Trail I was able to run long distance and lift heavier weight. Now that I am almost two years post partum, Trail has customized my strength training specifically for my running and prevention of knee injuries. I run 20+miles a week.
Trail focuses on the needs of the client. He takes consideration of previous injuries and fears. He is also patient, reliable and very knowledgable. I highly recommend Trail especially to those mommas who are trying to get back in shape.
