I started doing personal training sessions with Blake back in June and all thanks to him, I able to achieve my fitness goals! Our first session I was 200lbs (6'1") @ 25.8% body fat. Along with Blake's expert sessions, advice, and diet suggestions I was losing roughly 1% of body fat per week (2 sessions with Blake per week in the beginning down to 1 session afterward). Fast forward a few months and I'm comfortably sitting at 178lbs @ 15% body fat. Those are cold hard facts. Results are what you get out of Blake! It also doesn't hurt that he's a great all-around dude who is awesome to talk with. Our conversations go WAY beyond just fitness and the hour sessions just fly bye...10/10 highly recommend. More...

tl;dr - this man is a unicorn.  Do anything you can to get him as a trainer.I've spent a good chunk of my life working towards fitness.  Over the years I've lost up to 180 lbs.  I'm a technical, quantitative person and have a decade of personal data (food and exercise log and body composition) that I use to inform my fitness strategy.  On my journey I've engaged 8 different personal trainers including a professional bodybuilder, an official U.S. Olympic trainer, registered dietitians, and a sports scientist.  I can say, without question and with the data to back it up, Blake stands alone as a personal trainer.  First, the easy stuff.  He's inspirational, motivating, engaging, and genuinely invested in you as a client and as a human being.  He also is razor sharp and has a depth of simultaneously practical and data-driven knowledge that is incredibly rare.  To have both of these things in one package is something I've never come across.  The man is a gold mine of information and when I train with him I get as much out of the tactics and advice that he provides for execution while I'm not at the gym as I do in the actual workout.  But the truly special element of Blake is the personalization that he provides.  There are a lot of knowledgeable trainers that know what works for them that can give you a workout to follow and help you push yourself.  Blake goes ten steps further by incorporating your personality, motivation, constraints (time, diet, travel, medical conditions etc.), and learning style.  The workouts, advice, and interaction he provides are fit to YOUR needs.  It is a truly novel experience to have faith that my trainer knows more about the right path for me than I do, to be guaranteed continual growth, personally and physically, each and every time.  Blake's sessions increase in value over time, totally shifting the paradigm of diminishing marginal returns of training as one learns their tricks and style.  I'll end on a nerdy note: over the years I've struggled to find a balance between fat loss, muscle growth, healthy nutrition, and physical activity that is sustainable without incurring injury.  These months with Blake are the first time in a decade of trying everything that I've simultaneously lost fat, increased muscle mass, increased my metabolic rate (measured), and reduced incidence/opportunity for injury.Thank you, Blake.

My Fiancé gives 5 stars for Blake's "Pre."  "I've trained with Protein and Creatine supplements and saw good gains. 5-10 lbs of muscle but when I gave Blake's Pre Workout a try I immediately saw my workout times move from 50 mins to 1 1/2 hrs. My reps got heavier and breaks between sets were quicker. I was really moving in the gym with purpose! I was working out alone but I worked as if my trainer was right there. It wasn't long before I was using Blake's Pre Workout exclusively. Roughly 6-8 months later I had put on 26 lbs of muscle. Bottom line, it works! "-Josh More...

I started my fitness journey with Blake about 4 years ago. Back then I would sit on the tread mill for an hour and think I had a good work out, but then I met Blake. Completely changed the way I viewed working out. I thought of working out as chore and dreaded going to the gym. Now I view the gym as a sanctuary where I go to empower my self. With his super helpful meal plan and his upbeat energy during our sessions.... I feel and look so much better. More...

I was someone who has always loved working out but have been reluctant to hire a personal trainer. After injuring my back, I had to give up weight lifting and entered a very dark period. I got fed up and reached out to Blake in an effort to re-boot my fitness routine. I chose him because I wanted someone who could take me to the next level, but also help me from re-inuring my back. Blake has been a life changer. Not only am I back in the game, but he helped my back feel better than it ever has. I've also got a lot of compliments from friends that I look better then ever. Blake is smart, sensitive, funny, knowledgeable, down to Earth, and results-oriented. I cannot recommend him enough. More...

He knows what he is talking about when it come to training and if results is what you want, look no further.

I met Blake at Elevate. Before I even signed up for his classes, I had heard he was intense. Well... I thought I was going to pass out the very first time I took his class! Sure I may have thought I was going to throw up, but now I can hang with the best of them. After that first class, I was hooked. I looked forward to Blake's classes each week. He quickly became my favorite, and he is the real deal.He always emphasizes on having the correct form. What is the point in the exercise if you're not doing it correctly, right? You're not going to get results rushing through something if you're not doing it properly... Blake is the type of trainer that will encourage you and manage to make you push yourself beyond your comfort zone - that's when CHANGE really begins to happen. His classes aren't just physical, there is a spiritual sense going on. As I mentioned previously in my Elevate review, I used to be intimidated by smaller intimate gyms/studios. Talking to trainers? FORGET IT. Gymidation big time. You know what I'm talking about right? Gymidation has been long gone.  Blake is a super friendly. Always positive and a beaming light of energy that guy, I swear. No matter how rough of a day I have had, I always left  him with my mind clear and in a happier place that would carry me on throughout the day, night, week etc. Blake takes fitness seriously, so don't think you will get away with half assing it. Blake will make you give your 100%. Not only that, you will WANT to give his sessions your 100% because it is WORTH IT. You will thank him, but your body will thank you too.Blake's exercises are very, very precise and excellent at targeting muscle groups (abs abs abs ABS! hurts so good) His expertise and training will whip you into shape in no time.If you want results and you want to listen to some rockin music and have fun while getting your butt kicked,  you need some Blake in your life.

3 words - Blake Is Awesome!I've worked with a few personal trainers. Blake is the only trainer who has been effective enough for me to remember their own workout philosophies in workouts by myself. His training sessions are sharp, concise and targeted. He's always on time, confirms sessions, and definitely maximizes the time for a thorough workout session. I've always been very fit and Blake has taken my physique to another level that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I never knew I could do a handstand and learn how to breath properly when lifting. The abdominal "windshield wipers" are tough but I get them done thanks to Blake's coaching.Glad I signed up with him. I actually feel like my body's in the best shape ever thanks to Blake.

I have been taking Blake's classes at Elevate Group Fitness and highly recommend him! Blake is a beast, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. At first, I was seriously afraid of his classes. I took one and it truly kicked my booty! However, after starting to take more and more classes at Elevate, I decided to quit being such a chicken and take more of Blake's classes. I feel as though I can keep up now (I'm getting better at the 3 minute challenge!) and find myself signing up for Blake's classes with a smile on my face. Blake is probably the most encouraging instructor at Elevate. I absolutely love all of the things he says before, during and right as the class is ending. He truly makes all of the students keep working their hardest and reminding each and every one of them that giving up is not an option! He is always smiling! Students: don't be afraid of his classes! You will sweat, you will feel as though you will fall over, but the results you will get are amazing! I love how passionate Blake is about fitness. His encouragement means a lot and his classes are so much fun. Yes, it's hard work and yes, you will feel like you're going to faint at least once during the 55 minutes... But you will have SO much fun and have great results! More...
