Whetstone Virtual Fitness

I met Rob through a recommendation, and he has lived up to his reputation as a trainer. In the last two months I learned how to incorporate exercising consistently into my weekly routine, what exercises I am doing and their purpose, and how to get stronger over time. Rob is creative (and funny). The workouts he designs challenge me consistently but do not feel impossible or painful. Strength is my primary goal and once I started working out with Rob, I began learning what it REALLY means to build strength. Most importantly, Rob has made me realize that fitness is a lifetime goal not just a quick fix. He never approaches it as punishment or painful activity I must suffer through, he meets me where I am, and he never gives up on me. His commitment to me allows me to keep my promises to myself and I show up every week to have fun and do the burpees! More...

I cannot say enough good things about Coach Rob and Whetstone Virtual Fitness. I was apprehensive at first about the idea of virtual personal training. ..But every worry and apprehension I had is gone. Rob puts together workouts that are challenging but achievable. He listens to my goals and builds workouts for me to help me achieve these goals. I have come to find that I love most about his format is that while he writes and designs these workouts, I am the one who is ultimately responsible for getting them done. Having that ownership has been a game changer for me and my fitness. I’ve lost weight, lost inches, and have gotten stronger because I chose to work with Rob. I cannot recommend him more! More...

If you want a trainer who will set a customized plan to help you meet your goals and take your virtual verbal and GIF-inspired harassment in stride when you call him out for the rampant lie every time he utters the words “this is simple” (pro-tip: these are the most deceptive workouts he’ll plan on your behalf) look no further than Rob. A friend initially referred me to Whetstone Virtual Fitness and given her propensity to physically challenge and punish herself I knew she wouldn’t steer me towards a trainer who would make it easy on me. Little did I know, I would be setting myself up by being too honest about my goals (to gain strength, endurance, and to look bangin in the WFH induced shopping spree clothes gathering dust in my closet thanks to these COVID times) and my fitness likes (weightlifting, varied workouts, and cross training) and dislikes (distance running unless the cops, clowns or zombies are involved and burpees — only cheerleaders like these devil movements) during our initial free consultation. It was during this consultation that I decided to trust my friend and trust in Rob and six months later, 2 sizes down, about a million (ok closer to like 800+ but tell my thighs that!) air squats later...I’m glad I did. Rob makes virtual training dynamic and fun. The community of fellow fitness motivated friends that make up the group that comes together under the umbrella of his leadership will cheer you on along the way. I was skeptical about finding community in a virtual space but I’ve definitely found it. I cannot recommend Whetstone enough and will continue to bang the drum and recommend friends join this crazy train. Rob will hold you accountable, remain in close communication with you as you progress towards achieving your goals and make it fun by having a sense of humor about the virtual harassment you will assuredly sling at his well-coiffed head. He can take it and he’ll ensure you keep on coming back time and time again to see what crazy WOD he has laid out for you next. Do yourself a favor sign up for a free consultation with Rob and buckle up. More...
