Richard has been my trainer for 2.5 years. I've never had a trainer before. Now I can't imagine working with anyone else. First of all he's just a really mellow, genuine, caring person. He never gets distracted while training me and focuses on everything I'm doing. He's very comfortable training both men and women of any age group. And he treats me like an equal. He's never condescending when I question something. He's tough when he wants you to just push that next lift and I had to learn to trust him. But he's also understanding if you don't feel well. Pretty quickly he learns his clients strengths and weaknesses. With me it was always trying to conserve energy so I could do more rep.'s He realized thats how I was thinking! And then spent many sessions teaching me to change that habit. He's got a sixth sense for all this. Just by watching you he can figure out how you're thinking while you train. Initially I was expecting him to look at me and think "older woman, I won't push too much". I had seen that mentality with other trainers at the same gym. Which would have been insulting. I was SO wrong! He trained me as if I was getting ready for my sport. I was already in good cardio shape but wanted to build muscle and get stronger. With Richard I could not believe how I was lifting 6 months along. I would never have believed I could become as strong as I am. He taught me so many techniques to mentally open up to lifting to my full potential. And he taught me good lifting technique so I have not had one injury in all this time. He also changes the work-out the second he feels you've gotten comfortable with it. Which I hate but is necessary! He's passionate about his career and you can tell he feels great when he sees that you're improving. He's also very knowledgeable about the role nutrition plays and stressed how important it was to allow some weight gain, steering me away from obsessing about the scale. I am really proud of my accomplishments. I work out in a gym that can be very intimidating when you wander near the free weights. All young guys full of machismo. But with Richard's training I walk in there alone now and I know what I'm doing. His training has greatly improved my confidence. It's affected my whole life, not just my work out : )

I've been training with Rich for about 6 months now and I can't find one bad thing to say. He's helped me not only lose weight but he taught me how to be healthier and how to use all the machines at the gym.
He's always on time, always flexible with scheduling. He has a lot of knowledge on each machine, he always explains how everything works from the machine to the muscle your working. I ask a million questions and he's answered all of them! He gives me pointers on what I should be eating before and after my workouts as well as when im not working out.
Rich is a great trainer I highly recommend him whether your looking to lose weight, tone up or just get in better shape.

Rich helped train me for my season on track and field for college. He prepared me during pre season and helped me improve during the season as well. From my first year without him to my second year with his help there was a DRAMATIC difference. I did not belong on the team before, because my performance was so mediocre. After training with rich I rose to the top of my team and made it to the national competition. He helped me learn to life weights properly and efficiently to help me reach a specific goal. I also gained a lot of confidence and body awareness because he helped me reach my potential! He is a great trainer because it is like working with a friend. Recommend!!

Rich is easy to work with and has an upbeat personality. He is very knowledgeable in weight training and optimizing the strength vs. cardio ratio to help you achieve your goals.
