Testimonials

I have been training with Ian for over a year and it has been a great dynamic. He is the triple threat – knowledge, common sense, and the ability to listen. His knowledge of the physical training based on education and professional application is top notch; he uses common sense in setting goals and limits for training. But most of all he listens to his clients. He does not set aside his clients concerns or goals for his own, but he listens and guides his clients to achieve their goals, be they small or large. If you are willing to do the work, he will help you achieve those goals.

I started seeing Ian a little over a year ago and, without exaggeration, he has made the difference between my being able to move or leading a sedentary existence. I have chronic arthritis in a knee that needs a complete replacement and had been referred to two different commercial therapy groups by my GP and orthopedist prior to working with him. Unfortunately there was no identifiable improvement as a result of those commercial sessions, so I went in search of a personal trainer. Ian has reawakened muscles and nerves in my legs and back and done it with care, patience and a good dose of humor, loI worked with Ian as my trainer for years while I lived in Colorado. He was the only trainer who helped me rehabilitate an old injury so I could get strong enough to walk and run and live without pain. He never stops educating himself and passing that knowledge on to his clients. Ian includes nutritional recommendations in his training and I found his ideas to work for me, where other nutritionists didn’t, and it’s not only because he’s so knowledgeable, he also listens to each client, recognizing that we are all unique. I have yet to find a trainer where I live now that comes close to providing the excellent coaching, motivation and physical training that I got from working with Ian.

Though I’ve just started working with Ian, I’m really impressed by his knowledge and the rehabilitative results we’ve achieved in a short time. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Ian since 2013 to rehab my back and hip so I could get off of pain medication and prevent anticipated orthopedic surgery. We accomplished this by changing my diet, losing weight, finding and building my core strength and overall fitness. My ability to sleep increased to support my my endurance of long, stressful workdays. We have been on a regular maintenance program addressing all issues as they appear so they don’t become a permanent problem. Ian’s education, training, many years’ experience and personal desire to help his clients heal and grow make him an excellent personal trainer and fitness coach. I can highly recommend Ian for your fitness goals.

I worked with Ian to help resolve my lower back issues as well as problems with my right knee and ankle. Over a 3 month period I learned new exercises and stretching techniques that have helped me immensely. Ian was patient and during his training sessions, he made sure I understood why and how these exercises would help. I continue this stretching on a daily basis and its really helped rehabilitate my old injuries.

I was referred to Ian because I was suffering from severe IT Band syndrome and doctors and physical therapists couldn’t help me. I was just about immobile and couldn’t hike, ski, or sometimes even walk to my car. Within 4 months of training with Ian I went back to all the things I love to do in my retirement. He also helped me with posture issues and has given me instruction in back exercises and stretches that have kept me out of the surgeon’s grasp!

I spent 20 years trying to find relief for my back pain; physical therapy, acupuncture, sports massage, chiropractors – you name it!  Within the first 3 months of training with Ian I knew I had finally found the solution. He truly listens and personalizes the training and his knowledge and understanding of how the body works (or doesn’t work sometimes!) has made all the difference for me. We have worked together for the past 6 years and it has changed my life.  I am active again – and I can enjoy being active – and my back pain is manageable.  I feel like ME again!

I’ve been working with Ian for over 6 years, he’s very knowledgeable and professional. Very nice personality and knows how to push you without getting the person stressed out. Funny and pleasant. I do recommend Ian for anyone who needs a PT without hesitancy.

Ian has a wonderful presence and was able to make me feel comfortable while trying new things, all while making sure I was doing them correctly. Ian has a tremendous amount of knowledge that comes through in his interest in your overall health and physical well being. I love training with Ian and feel so much more healthy.

I've been working with Ian for several years now and I count myself as very lucky to have found him.  Aside from being a great trainer, he is exceptionally knowledgeable in rehabilitation and physical therapy.  I before starting with Ian I had constant neuropathy in one leg (numbness, pins and needles) which my previous trainer could not help with at all.  Ian quickly figured out the issue and set me on a path to resolve the issue - which I thought I'd have to live with for the rest of my life!  Not even my doctor could help, but Ian did.  He is university trained, not "online certified."  You can't go wrong!
