What People Are Saying

"I didn't want to hit the gym today. I was making all the excuses. I just wanted a light stretch from my trainer Dustin. He called me on all my excuses and negative self talk. He asked me all the right questions and we powered through one of my best and most important workouts."

After undergoing two knee surgeries and extensive physiotherapy last year, I was scheduled for a third surgery, but I felt trapped in a cycle of temporary pain relief rather than actual healing. That's when I met Dustin and started training with him. Within three months I saw significant progress. I went from not being able to run after my young kids to being strong enough to jog while carrying both of them. By six months, not only had my knee fully recovered, but my overall physical and mental wellbeing had also transformed. Dustin's exceptional training skills not only shape your body but also nourish your soul. ​

"Dustin Helped me bring my workout game to a whole new level. I had been struggling to make gains in muscle while losing fat at the same time. I wanted to shake up my routine and add new strategies and exercises to my daily workouts.  Dustin's passion for training, energy and nutrition is contagious. While working out with him over the last year, I lost 30lbs of fat while and gained 12 lbs of muscle. I highly recommend his friendly, accountable, and challenging approach to personal fitness as well as his Iron Athletics Class to anyone at any level.  Thank you Dustin! I'm one step closer to being an action hero thanks to you bro!"

I consider myself very lucky to have met Dustin.  From the beginning of my first session, I realized that he was the trainer for me.  As a 63-year-old obese woman with various knee, back and shoulder pain, I needed someone who could help me gain core strength, improve my balance, and gain muscle.  Dustin is that trainer and so much more.  His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is exceptional.  He meticulously plans my workouts to meet my goals, and carefully explains how each activity can help me in everyday life.  He watches carefully during workouts, adjusting my form as I go to ensure I don’t hurt myself. Since being a teenager, I had to wear knee braces to exercise. Braces and orthotics are now gone, thanks to Dustin.  His knowledge of nutrition is helping me navigate my weight loss journey, and I appreciate his willingness to offer guidance on a variety of health topics. I walk taller with better posture and more confidence.  My body has never been this toned.  I look forward to my sessions every week not only because I am getting stronger and fitter, but because of all the laughter we share!

Through out the years I've encountered many great personal trainers to help me improve, but Dustin stands out a cut above the rest. He is meticulous in his approach to explain the tiniest nuances in each exercise and helped me to not only visualize the correct form but also internalize and develop a keen sense of awareness to my movements. Let's face it, a press is not just a press and the tiniest details can make a big difference. The angles, the approach, the supporting muscles, the breathing, how you establish that muscle to mind connection, they all com to play. I have neglected these details for years to my own detriment and regret. Pareto principle applies here. Sometimes 20% of the details in the exercise with yield 80% of the results. He is a gem, but do be aware, though, he will expect you to work hard and stay focused.

Throughout my recovery, Dustin has created a customized workout plan to rehabilitate my injuries, challenge me to grow mentally and physically stronger, all while maintaining a realistic and safe program to rebuild my body.  

In addition to Dustin’s in gym training, he has recommended healthy nutritional options, recreational activities and other beneficial things for me to try.  

I feel a real sense of personal growth having worked with Dustin, that goes beyond just the physical aspect of hiring a personal trainer.  

I admire Dustin’s dedication and commitment to continue improving his training and knowledge in holistic approaches to health and personal training.  By continuously improving his craft, he raises the bar of quality, with his skills and techniques to offer to his clients.
