FITNESS STYLE

Rob loves to find out what makes his clients tick. He knows how to push them to their limits, but also pull back when necessary. He believes in a work-hard-play-hard mentality and knows that while not all fitness needs to be serious, many exercises take a great deal of concentration and commitment. Rob’s main focus is on the human foundation and he helps his clients work on balance, mobility, flexibility, and functional strength.
