I stumbled upon Roger and INCINERATE FITNESS in 2023 on bark while preparing for my wedding and found not just a trainer but a supportive community. His private, well-equipped gym creates an intimate and focused environment, and his exceptional knowledge has been invaluable in helping me work around and even heal chronic injuries like plantar fasciitis and old tendinitis from years past. Every session is both safe and effective, and the results helped me look and feel my absolute best for my big day. Even after the wedding was over, I was hooked and have continued to see steady improvements in my strength, health, and confidence. Over time, Roger has become more than just a trainer; he truly cares about each client’s success. If you are ready to achieve the results you have always dreamed of, Roger is the one to call. More...

I participate in the group personal training sessions at Incinerate Fitness, and Roger is an exceptional trainer. Even in a group setting, he makes sure to give each person individual attention and creates customized workouts tailored to your goals, needs, and any injuries.
I always leave feeling like I’ve had a great workout.
Roger is personable and makes training enjoyable, while still pushing you to improve. He also helps with injury recovery, offers effective stretching guidance, and adapts exercises so they work for you. His ability to combine a supportive environment with challenging, personalized training truly sets him apart.

Fantastic gym and trainer!
I trained for three months with Roger, and it made a huge difference. Roger really knows his stuff when it comes to both exercise and nutrition, but he’s also fun to work with — he creates a positive, welcoming environment that makes every session fly by.
He genuinely cares about his clients and it really shows in how he customizes each workout to your specific goals, fitness level and even injuries.
The workouts were always fun and different and I found myself doing things I didn’t even think I could. He took the time to understand my struggles, goals and what keeps me motivated. Every session felt purposeful. The gym itself has pretty much any equipment you could need, plus a great outdoor space that adds variety and keeps things interesting.
After training here, I feel much stronger, lost weight, more confident and more motivated to keep going. Roger’s mix of expertise, encouragement, genuine care and ability to make training enjoyable really sets him apart. Highly recommend him as a trainer!

I was struggling with motivation, struggling with knowing what workouts to do, and struggling with how to lead a healthier lifestyle. Virtual wouldn’t work cause I don’t even know technique and didn’t have the right equipment. Not to mention my injury, I was concerned with getting a trainer who at least had a background in physical therapy. With Roger, I found myself having fun going to the gym, loosing weight, toning up, strengthening my knee, and feeling confident I won’t hurt myself while working out. He treats you like a person and will be there for you through those up’s and downs in life, but will also call you on your shit if you need it. He also keeps the jokes flowing. He was knowledgeable so if I had any questions the man was accessible and had no problems with taking the time to work with me holistically such as with diet and medical concerns. He really is the whole deal and it’s cause of him that I’m reaching my goals. Definitely give him a try! More...

Roger is a great trainer. In joining a gym, I look to whether I can maintain my workout routine at a place for a long and get the desired results. The machines don’t matter as much as the mental motivation I need to go to a place in a routine to workout. Roger opens people up and makes his gym a small community where people hang out and workout together. This makes people want to come to the gym to workout. Even if someone’s not in the mood to work out, the community pulls them in. Roger also takes care of diet and makes sure his clients follow discipline in their routine to get the desired results. He pushes you to work out harder. Roger also makes sure his clients are happy and keeps their spirits up to keep consistency in their workouts. He’s one of the best trainers I've worked out with.

Where do I start with Incinerate Fitness and it's owner and personal trainer Roger. I came across Incinerate through online site Bark. From our first correspondence he was professional and just had great fun energy, so we scheduled a session to see if it was a fit. He asked all the right questions before our session about my health, injuries and what I thought were my limitations. After that workout I was hooked and sore. Although, I had scheduled with a couple of other trainers I knew this gym and trainer were a fit for me. Roger has such great energy to keep you motivated even when you don't have it in yourself to start. But over time it rubs off plus you start to see those results not only in how you look but how you feel. I came in with a back injury due to work plus carrying extra weight. Within these short 3 months my back pain has decreased greatly and I feel so much better in my day to day. The environment is laid-back and no egos, everyone is just friendly and encouraging. I will be coming back and excited to see what my 6mo progress will look like. Only con no weekend availability but an owner and trainer has to have a life too.... right? More...

Originally found Roger on Bark. Came to him because I was having extreme lower back pain, which I later found out was due to an extruding disc. Roger worked with me, always modifying workouts and checking in with me to make sure I wasn’t in pain, but still pushing me to do more than I thought I could. It’s been four months and I’m down roughly 14lbs, and have not experienced any back pain since working with him! Roger is knowledgeable about everything fitness and injuries which was a relief to feel like I wasn’t going to hurt myself and that I could feel comfortable asking him any questions I had. He is extremely kind and really cares about all of his clients! I’ve seen him first hand go above and beyond for others, including me! I came to him during a time when I felt like my whole life was crashing down and he offered comforting advice and a safe place to cry! For that I will always be grateful!
