He was accommodating enough to work with my wife and I for a couples class for our busy work schedule, which has been great for both of us.

Derrick is great (so is his wife)! Very encouraging, very knowledgeable about fitness (I’m an RN and I can’t even remember all the muscles he names off!) and he is genuinely interested in you getting the most out of each workout.

They do a great assessment before you sign up for anything and help you determine what YOUR goals are for your fitness.

I signed up on for the deal of the century; one thing I’ve learned about Derrick is that he is among the most generous people I’ve been honored to know. Since we met, I’ve worked out with him as my trainer and watched his business grow as my fitness has.

A year after I started training with Derrick I participated in an unguided 18-day rafting trip down the Colorado River; something I thought I would never do. I am running with my dogs, enjoying long-distance bike rides, have dropped 20 pounds, helped family move, and no longer support an osteopath’s yacht. I know what joy of movement is about.

What makes Derrick different from other trainers? Number One is his firm belief in his clients; he shows compassion and understanding in all of us (and we have become a small community). Then there is his extensive knowledge, intuition and eagle eye. He pays close attention to every move to make sure I’m lifting or exercising correctly; he has a delightfully humorous way of telling me what to do that I find completely acceptable (pity my husband who tries that on occasion!). He knows exactly how far he can push me, which is usually farther that I would have believed, and he knows when I should ease up to prevent hurting myself. I trust Derrick.
