What people say

Vince helped me increase my bench press PR from 275 lbs to 290 lbs in our first training session together

Kostner S.

When I first started training with Vince after my previous trainer left, it was definitely a bit of a transition from what I was used to. Being relatively new to the gym, there were still plenty of exercises and areas I hadn’t had the confidence to explore. Vince helped change that by pushing me outside my comfort zone while making sure I was learning proper technique and building confidence along the way.

One of the biggest improvements I’ve noticed has been my bench press. I remember joking that I couldn’t even bench a plate (135 lbs), and within just a few weeks of working with Vince, I was hitting one-rep personal records of 185 lbs. Now, I’m comfortably moving 155 lbs with significantly better technique and control. It’s been awesome seeing that kind of progress in such a short period of time.

Throughout our time training together, I’ve also been dealing with ongoing knee and Achilles issues. Vince has been incredibly supportive, regularly checking in on how I’m feeling and adapting our sessions to accommodate these challenges. He’s even incorporated specific exercises and drills to help strengthen those areas and gradually improve my ability to handle heavier loads, with the goal of getting me stronger and more explosive for the sports I play.

What really sets Vince apart is his combination of personal lifting experience and growing knowledge of kinesiology. Even while still completing his studies, he takes what he’s learning and applies it to our training in practical ways. He’s constantly looking for ways to challenge me, improve my strength, and build my overall physical capacity without ignoring the injuries I’m working through.

Beyond his knowledge and coaching ability, Vince is genuinely a great guy to work with. He’s friendly, funny, approachable, and knows how to make training enjoyable while still pushing you to improve. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about their progress and is willing to adapt his approach to their individual goals and challenges.

Dawson B.

I’ve been stagnant in my weight lifting journey, but since working with Vince, I’ve learnt more in-depth techniques to lifting. He has not only taught me proper techniques to avoid future injuries, but the confidence to compete in my first competition. He has been super accommodating and takes any concerns into account, allowing clients the freedom to approach him with anything.

Joyce L.

Vince has helped me with creating a personalized routine that fits with my goals of getting into powerlifting while also accounting for my injury and body type. He’s given me tips and crucial info to break into the world of powerlifting, and increased my deadlift from 315 to 385 in just three months. He’s a big inspiration for me and my friends and he’s always motivating us to be stronger and healthier versions of ourselves. With Vince I have no doubt he’ll help you achieve and even exceed your goals.

Isaac D.

Vince worked with me to break through plateaus in my lifts, and all 3 of my main lifts increased in just 2 months of training with him. Even when I was faced with injuries, Vince put in the effort to find a solution that could accommodate me.

Sean P.

After training with Vince a couple times, I’m more comfortable going to the gym alone and I am happier with my body

I used to workout with no direction until I met Vince and he has coached me beyond barriers I never even knew existed.
