Thrive Personal Training & Fitness

John was always ready on time, he was in a good mood ready and willing to help out.... got to joke around and make the hour more enjoyable and go by fast.

John is an excellent trainer and coach. He listened to my goals and modified workouts as needed to accommodate a prior injury. He provided the right amount of pushing while keeping the workouts fun and educational. John knows what he's doing and he's good at it. More...

John is a very versatile trainer who will work with you to determine goals and develop a tailored program. He has a good feeling of how hard to push someone to get the results they want. The facilities are nice and have a good mix of equipment and surfaces to do a variety of fitness activities. The last 6 months of working with John have gotten me stronger than I ever could have achieved by myself. More...

John really made an effort to meet me where I was at. I hadn’t worked out in quite some time and he made me feel comfortable. He pushed me to work hard, and helped me to feel confident again. Thank you John! More...

Fantastic gym. They offer classes that cater to both the novice (me) and the hard core. Their personal training is awesome, and Ryan in particular has the patience of a saint in dealing with me. I've been going there for 8 years and I would highly recommend it to anyone. More...

I’ve trained with John for more than 5 years. He’s got a sense of humor and adjusts our workouts as needed, but still manages to challenge me. Highly recommend!

Ryan and his team want nothing more than to see you achieve your health goals. Whether you are looking to start being active, gain some muscle or strength training, weight loss, or anything else, Renegade Personal Training and Fitness is the place to go. The personalized individual training (which I recommend) is great no matter which trainer you work with or if you prefer to take the boot camp classes with other people who just want to stay active. Either way you'll get whipped into shape. I am one of Ryan's weight loss clients and we have been working on my goals for almost a year and together we have successfully lost almost 90 lbs, but in a healthy and sustainable lifestyle change that I will be able to continue for a long time. We aren't done yet but I know working with Ryan and his team that together we will be successful in getting to my goals for my health and fitness. If you're looking for a new place to workout, I would highly recommend coming to Renegade Personal Training and Fitness. More...

Very down to earth, funny and makes me laugh when we are training.... Is a constructive communicator and is capable of discussing difficult issues and to the point. Works effectively & willingness to help out and contribute as required. Nice to have a little bit of both fun & seriousness when working out. More...

John has been the catalyst I needed to take my strength training up to the next level. He has a keen knowledge of diet and exercise and can always articulate why he's having me do an exercise and why it's important. He developed a workout plan tailored to my goals—and he holds me accountable for the time spent at the gym and tracks my progress week to week (whether on my own or with him). I cannot recommend him enough! More...

I did a "boot camp" last summer here for eight weeks. Their trainers are top notch. I was very impressed at how attentive they were to us, to make sure we did the exercises properly and make sure to stretch before AND after our sessions. I can't say enough good about this workout center. More...

John helped me to gain 10lbs of lean muscle. I was feeling at my weakest because I had not been working out for years, but thanks to John I felt like I had some energy and confidence back in my life. He holds you accountable and truly cares about your goals. He wants to see you succeed. Additionally, I like that he talks to you on an individual level, and you're not just some other client. He really tries to get to know you, and I appreciated that. Sometimes making the decision to workout can be a tough one. You might be afraid of others laughing at you or thinking it's futile that you're even trying. However John is supportive and understanding all the way.

Most people try to lose weight, but I was trying to gain weight since I am technically underweight for a 6' 1" guy. Started off at around 170lbs 15-16% body fat, and ended up at around 183lbs 14-15% body fat. Had to return back to school, but plan on hopefully training more soon. More...

I hired John as a personal trainer because I needed someone to help me stay on track with diet and exercise. I did a session with him, and I knew he was the one for me. He was professional and always pushed me to make that extra effort. Even if I couldn't do it, he was supportive and optimistic about me getting it next time. John will help you achieve your goals by giving you a detailed plan about what he expects from you. He helped me get to my goals, and if I was still living in the Twin Cities area, I would hire him again. More...

John is an excellent trainer he provides just the right amount of fitness coaching required for a person of my age and limitations.

I have worked with John for the past 7 months. It has been a great experience. It was out of my comfort level to work with a trainer and John made the workouts at the gym comfortable. He has been excellent to work with helping me reach my goals. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer. More...

I had been into fitness for a long time, but was looking for a challenge and someone who could really help me with my specific goals. I had also been in a bad car accident that affected my form and balance and I was really excited with the fact that John focused on those issues prior to just jumping into a workout. He took the time to get to know my pain points and where I wanted to improve my health and fitness.

I saw so much progress even in the first few weeks! And I loved the variety of the program John put together for me. He kept the workouts fun and exciting, yet still challenged me. Though I had to take a break from our sessions for the time being, he would be the first person I'd call to start up personal training again. More...

I used to be really into fitness but then I stopped for about 2 years just due to laziness. I began looking for a trainer online and found him. I was hesitant to do something from thumbtack, but I wasn't disappointed at all. He really pushed me to get back into the swing of things. He really does want you to succeed and he pushes you. The gym is nice and spacious too. He's really put back on track and I've been doing well overall ever since I trained with him! Thanks John! More...

If your looking for a fun and challenging place to do personal training or fitness classes, Renegade is the place to go! After having a baby in August, I wanted to get back in shape and be fit! The trainers are very knowledgeable on fitness and nutrition! In just a couple months I have gotten stronger than I have ever been and have learned how nutrition fits in with my lifting and cardio. I have always been a runner and really enjoyed it, but now I love weight lifting with a trainer that pushes me. Thanks Ryan for making me stronger physically and mentally and pushing me to new limits! The gym is very clean and everyone is welcoming and likes to have FUN! More...
