“Phil is an enthusiastic and deeply knowledgeable trainer.  I reached out for help with strength training to make daily living activities more easeful.  Phil believes in a holistic approach of getting strong in order to live well.  He focuses on teaching skills and general education versus running me through repetitious workouts.  He makes training fun and challenging at the same time by writing really creative programing, utilizing lots of equipment that's new to me;  indian clubs, ski erg, kettlebells.  I've learned a lot working with Phil and highly recommend him as a trainer.  He always goes the extra mile and really cares about your wellbeing.”

“Literally look no further. We found Phil a few years ago - a fit former marine with an adorable French Bulldog. But that’s not the half of it. Hands down the best personal trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, keeps it varied, constantly pushes you but keeps it fun. If you’re looking for serious results and you’re willing to commit and looking to be held accountable - he’s as good as you’ll find. Plus he’s a delightful human to spend an hour with!”

New Client Enrollment Process

  1. Phone call — a quick screen to find out a little about your goals and make sure I can help

  2. Enrollment form (injury and case history, liability waiver, cancellation policy, business info)

  3. Complimentary consultation / taster session

…then you book sessions and pay. Bespoke homework programs are part of the package which are free for clients who have fixed weekly sessions, or cost the price of one session every two months if not.

How many sessions per week should you have?

I encourage the following elements in everyone’s weekly regimen:

2 strength training sessions

2 cardiorespiratory training sessions

daily brisk walking for 30 to 90 minutes

morning movement rituals, for joint health

How many of these you have with me or on your own depends entirely on your individual case, skill or ability level, current exercise habits, budget and whether you’re motivated / compliant enough to carry out your bespoke homework plan.

“I found Phil after I was tired of throwing my back out and using a chiropractor. I wanted a solution - not a bandaid. 

I’m 2 years into a healthy back and am stronger than I’ve ever been in my life. 

And the best part? I love it. He’s enjoyable (so is Henry)! 

Nothing beats the Phil Factor!”
