Testimonials
“I couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism and the results. I was looking specifically for a trainer who would understand my need, as an older person, to gain strength and maintain health. I feel stronger and more fit than I did when we started and I feel like I have a much better understanding of my body and what it will take to stay strong and fit. Robert has been a pleasure to work with. He is firm but fair. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer. No matter what your goals are, I am confident that Robert will listen to you and help you reach those goals.”
“He cares so much about you--he wills you to succeed! He puts everything into his training sessions with you. Robert is quite possibly the most knowledgeable personal trainer out there. He created a whole schedule for me and he stays on top of you to keep you in the game and motivated. He has truly taken one-on-one personal training the next level. He's always bright, enthusiastic, and on your side about getting you in shape!”
“I've been training with him for the past 2 months and I cannot stop telling all my friends about the experience. There are 4 things that I look for in a trainer: 1) Understanding and appreciating my goals 2) Understanding my lifestyle and habits 3) Having a good suite of knowledge on form and fitness 4) A good time
Robert is really great at all of these. Essentially, I use him as my encyclopedia on all things fitness related. I would highly recommend him for clients who are looking to learn more about themselves and learn more about how to incorporate a healthy lifestyle into their current lives. Robert is flexible and lighthearted and kind. If you are looking for a coach who is constantly just screaming at you to do multiple reps regardless of your goals or limits, Rob is not your guy. Here's more about him:
He is an excellent listener and can understand my commute, lifestyle habits etc. so he has tailored his training and coaching to fit my life. During our sessions, he's constantly pushing me, but he knows when to stop and that a workout doesn't make sense anymore, or we need to change a routine or movement to re-focus on something else. For example, in one strength exercise, we realized that one of my weaknesses is imbalance on my right side. He then altered the exercise to my needs so that I can simultaneously work on my balance while also still exercising that strength.
It goes without saying that one of Robert's strengths is being able to see weaknesses and learn more about my body's strengths/weaknesses through our workouts. He's constantly observing to see where my imbalances are, where I'm stronger, what forms I need to work on.
Robert is a good partner in that he is always asking questions, the workouts are constant dialogue - learning more about that exercise, and how my body is improving so that he knows to either up the difficulty or to change it up a bit. He's also always asking what I want to learn, so I've really gotten a thorough education on various ways to exercise.
In addition, Robert is always there when I need him. He's accessible via text but he's not one of those trainers that's constantly on you about scheduling the next session. He's not a salesman. It's typically on my terms.
Training with Robert has really changed my lifestyle for the better. I'm 100x healthier and I feel great. I'm getting stronger every day and I have now learned to incorporate fitness into my life in a healthy way. I'd recommend Rob to anyone. He's fun and friendly and always has a smile on. It's a blast and a half to see him every week.”
“I don't mind being old, but I definitely do not want to feel old. I get scared of how the body tends to fall apart as you get older. That seems like the worst part of aging: to no longer be able to do what you used to do. Keeping the body fit is the only thing that can fight that. I feel the benefits of my workouts, and not just in my body. Maintaining my physical fitness keeps me sane, too. I know I have the ability to control how I age, and that gives me a great deal of joy. I look forward to my workouts with Robert. Every session gives me a higher quality of life at a point when many think that's no longer possible.”
“My orthopedic doctor recommended exercise therapy for complications related to MS and years of walking with a resulting bad gait and lower back problems. I had also developed meralgia parastetica. I was deteriorating rapidly. Fortunately, I started working with Robert Stone 3 days a week and have been making excellent progress with increasing core strength, balance, improved walking, increased mobility and reduction of pain. Robert's a very knowledgeable therapist with an exceptional ability to evaluate symptoms and design a taylor-made program to get results. He was also able to release the entrapped nerve that was giving me significant pain with stretching exercises. Robert is dedicated to getting results! and a tremendous ally to have when you've decided to improve your health and potential for future quality of life. Robert's personality is an added bonus. I look forward to each session and the way I'm going to feel when we're done. I couldn't be happier with the results and intend to continue to utilize Robert's abilities to reach a new level of optimum health!”
“Robert Stone is an outstanding exercise physiologist who sets up programs that are custom-made to his clients’ needs. In my case, I have Parkinson’s disease and back problems. I can recommend him highly without reservation. I have been a client of his since 2016 after extensive back surgery.”
