I have been working out with Peter for over a year now. During that time, I’ve put on 16 pounds of muscle.
Every workout is different, and Peter is there to answer any questions.
Prior to this, I had never really used a trainer, and I had my doubts. If you are on the fence, schedule a consultation you will not regret it. If there’s a reason you’re working out (wedding, vacation, revenge body, to lose weight, pack on muscle, etc.), Peter will be able to assist you in achieving that goal.

Working with Peter as my personal trainer has been a game changer for my fitness journey. He’s dedicated and passionate to help his clients reach their fitness goals. From the start, Peter took the time to fully understand my goals and tailored a plan that has consistently challenged me (in a good way), while he’s helped me stay motivated throughout. His knowledge of different exercises, nutrition, and overall wellness is impressive and I’ve learned a lot. Peter’s positivity and encouragement has kept me focused and committed, and he’s helped me get stronger, and improve my endurance and overall health. I’m thankful for Peter’s guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level. More...

He takes the time and personal interest in his clients goals, making each session fun and with impactful results. Peter comes with great energy and always has a smile on his face.

Throughout the last few years, I had done all of the fads new trends that you hear about. I'd lose weight and then gain it back, lose it and gain it back over and over.
I finally decided that I was committed to sticking to a plan and program. So all I was doing was cardio, and wasn't seeing much progress.
But I stuck with it for a while but wanted better results, so I started looking for coaches and trainers. But I was hesitant to jump in and didn't know who to trust.​
I found Peter and thought about reaching out to him for a couple months. And I'm so glad I did. I've learned so much about why I'm doing what I'm doing in my workouts, what to eat and how to eat so that I can still eat like a normal human and not have to cut everything out of my diet. It's been so much different (in a good way) compared to every program and plan I had done in the past.
​
So the best thing, I think, that Peter has helped me with is he really works to help me understand why I'm doing what I do, so that I can see success going forward when I'm on my own. I even want to build my own program for once instead of following someone else's. I know that I can eat more than just broccoli and rice or nothing at all to keep the weight off, but I can still enjoy my favorites. I know what I can have in order to maintain my weight or lose more, and how to build muscle now, because I know for the first time how calories work and how I can be successful by taking in the right amount.
I’ve learned so much and can't thank Peter enough for guiding me in the process and teaching me so much.

Coming in before I started working with Peter, I was frustrated and stuck. I had seen my weight go up and down for years, and it became harder and harder to keep it off, and I kept gaining more pounds.
When I first met Peter, I was really hesitant working with any kind of coach. I had never tried it before and it was brand new to me. I have a really busy schedule raising three kids and working full time with everything else in life on top of that.
Peter was so great at working with me and my schedule and building a program that worked for me! My biggest fear was committing to something that I couldn't keep up with. I didn't know if I'd be asked to work out every day and didn't think that'd be possible for me. But he told me, we can set this up where you just have put in an hour 3 to 4 days a week and be successful.​​​​​​​
I said okay and got into the groove of it, and found I could get the workouts done in 45 minutes, quick and efficient and not there for hours at a time. I lift 3 days a week and do cardio 3 times a week too, sometimes on my lifting days, sometimes not. We change it up a bit, but I've loved getting consistent in it and seeing progress.
​​​​​​​
The flexibility has been awesome. Peter's been so helpful in adjusting things when I need it when "life gets in the way," and I'm so grateful for that.​​​​​​​
With my eating, I now have so much flexibility there too, which is so much different than what I've tried in the past. When I tried diets in the past, I always thought that meant I could never have a piece of chocolate or a cookie, and if I did I felt bad about it. But Peter's shown me that I can have those things at times and it's okay. And even when I have my doubts, he would point me back to the progress I've made, and it's been so freeing.
​​​​​​​
Peter's taught me about sustainability and how to make that happen and helped me change my thinking and my daily habits. In the past, if I saw progress like this, I'd always believe that I was going to gain the weight back, but not anymore. I'm excited to keep going and keep making progress with what he's taught and how he's helped me completely change my approach to fitness. I've lost a lot of weight and inches and I know there's more to come. Thanks Peter!

I had the pleasure of working with Peter for about a year. Peter is both very personable and knowledgeable. I found him to be both fun to work with and a great coach/motivator.
He helped me hone my routine to generate the most benefit and always did so with a smile and a witty comment.
I had worked out with a personal trainer for a number of years at my home doing 40 - 75 minute routines 6 days a week. However, I am actually in better shape today having worked out just twice a week with Peter. I highly recommend Peter.

Peyton Evans
Peter is great! Very friendly and from the first session I could tell he was extremely knowledgeable! I learned that I wanted to continue in my fitness journey.
I could see results! I always looked forward to our sessions together. Peter has great energy that is very motivating! Very relaxed but in tune with how far he could push me. My biggest results were in strength, weight loss, completely changing my mindset in regard to myself, working out and eating well, and the belief I have that I can do this for the long term! !
The workouts were fun, productive, informative! They went by so fast! I would definitely recommend Peter without hesitation! Peter knows his stuff and can really tailor a program to anyone’s specific needs or goals! Peter is great at motivating his clients to get them to do their best…whatever that is on any given day!

Tom Snyder
Both my wife and I thought Peter was knowledgeable and extremely approachable. An immediate impression of a caring individual.
I learned more specific and nuanced methods/practice to health and exercise. Much more in depth than general ideas and practices that are typically out there. Workouts are always high quality and at the right intensity level for each person.
I lost 30 pounds early on and have maintained it because of the practices learned from you. My experience was high quality and very beneficial. I would recommend Peter without any hesitation.

Peter is so professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! I knew it was going to be challenging, but fun. I learned to take my time and to dig deep. It was a pleasure because Peter is so personable and warm. It was nice to have a friendly conversation when you are doing something not so fun. Each day I worked harder than the day before. You helped me achieve that success. I enjoyed our mornings while improving each time. I would absolutely recommend Peter! More...

I have been working with Peter for 15 weeks now, and I’m feeling the best I have ever felt. I've lost 24 pounds, shedded body fat and gained muscle throughout the time so far!
He is super easy to work with, and gives you the perfect foundation needed to improve your fitness and health. He is very knowledgeable and teaches the proper exercise and nutrition that will lead you to live a healthier life.
My experience has been excellent and I have seen great results thanks to his nutrition advice and exercise plan. He is very committed to helping me reach my goals and has been a great motivator throughout. I have continued to put on muscle and burn fat thanks to his knowledge and coaching. I have known Peter for many years now and I have seen his growth in fitness, and he is definitely someone you can trust and learn from. I have done all my work with him online and through text and he is quick with responding and assisting me through anything needed. I highly recommend Peter to anyone and everyone, because he is great at what he does, knowledgeable, and easy to work with!

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I focus on 3 main pillars when working with clients to help them achieve their fitness goals:
1. Personalized Workout Plans: I design a customized workout program that suits each client's fitness level and caters to each one's specific objectives. We'll work together to track progress and make adjustments as needed.
2. Nutritional Guidance: A holistic approach to fitness includes a balanced diet. I provide nutritional advice and guidance to complement each client's training program and maximize results.
3. Motivation and Accountability: Achieving one's fitness goals requires dedication and consistency. I'm be there to provide the motivation and accountability clients need to stay on track and push their limits.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret to getting the body of your dreams is creating a sustainable fitness and nutrition regimen into your life. It's finding the best way for you to implement the foundational principles of fitness and nutrition that create results and success, and take consistent action on those principles. What that looks like is different for each person. Some may only workout twice per week while following a balanced nutrition plan. Others may workout three or four times per week while eating in balance. The point is that you have a plan and program that you can stick with for the long term. Without heavy restriction in your eating. Without working out every day. Without having to give up the rest of your life for your fitness.
What do you love most about your job?
Two things:
1. I love having the opportunity to establish and build relationships with my clients. By the time we are done working together, I am blessed to call many of them good friends.
2. Seeing clients create transformation in their health and fitness. It's so rewarding seeing someone look back at where they started and see how much stronger they are, how their physique has changed, how much more energy they have, how much more confident they are, and more. I'm blessed to be a part of their journey.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For me, I saw that there are a lot of trainers and coaches out there who don't hold themselves accountable to deliver results to their clients. A lot of times, they give clients plans and if the client doesn't succeed, the coach either doesn't have an answer or points to something the client didn't do. I build this accountability in for myself to deliver by providing a satisfaction guarantee with my coaching programs, so that if clients aren't happy, they're refunded their investment. As an employee, I couldn't do this.
I also was in some gyms where the focus was more about revenue than client success. That doesn't align with my values, and I knew having my own business would allow me to provide great service to my clients with the focus of providing a great experience and delivering results first and foremost.
Why should our clients choose you?
I do have some unique offerings in my business:
-Lifetime digital platform access to guide you in nutrition, workouts, and other wellness related areas (so you have guidance forever - a component no one else supplies)
-Online Personal Training
-1 Nutrition Coaching Session / Month
-2 year support after we stop working together to make the transition to doing this on your own as smooth as possible
-Supplement discounts
-100% satisfaction guarantee (very rare in the industry)
I give more value to my clients than many competitors.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. I can coach clients entirely remotely through my coaching app, or I have a hybrid program for many clients where some of their workouts take place in person and some of them are delivered through the coaching app.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Extra cleaning and sanitizing of equipment. Clients can wear masks in the gym.
Personal Training
Tailored Workouts for Your Goals:
I create customized workout plans based on your fitness level, objectives, and any specific requirements.
Nutrition Coaching
Achieving your desired results is not just about exercise—it is also about nourishing your body with the right fuel. I offer personalized nutritional advice and guidance to complement your workouts, helping you make informed dietary choices that accelerate your progress and maintain your overall well-being.
