Don’t take my word for it.

I can’t say enough good things about JR as a personal trainer.

After a hamstring rupture and surgical repair, I wasn’t sure what my recovery—or future strength—would look like. JR has been instrumental in not only helping me recover safely, but in building strength and confidence beyond where I was before the injury.

He brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, professionalism, and genuine respect for his clients. JR is patient, attentive, and highly intentional in how he programs and coaches. As someone who has been an athlete my entire life, I value being coached—and that’s exactly what this feels like. Every session has purpose, progression, and accountability.

What’s been most impressive is his expertise in muscle building and strength development. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve been able to rebuild and even improve my physique—something I didn’t think was possible at age 50, especially after such a significant injury.

If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how to help you recover, get stronger, and perform at your best, JR is exceptional.

JR is a well educated and top notch strength and conditioning coach. He is iterating over a custom strength training plan for me that will fit into my endurance cycling workouts. He understands the difficulties and nuance of combining strength training and endurance training while providing enough recovery. He knows all about progressive overload, training stress scores, macro and micro periodization, block training, and other concepts that many coaches don't understand. I feel lucky to have such a good coach.

I am writing this review of my interactions and training with JR

I have been very impressed with his evaluation of my age, condition, goals for a program to achieve better fitness. His training regimen is focused on making sure my technique is correct to avoid issues and he brings excellent knowledge and encouragement while I ramp into this new phase.

J.R is an awesome trainer! He has carefully watched my body movements and choreographed strength and stretching exercises to help with these areas. He is patient, kind, and funny! I appreciate him so much! I love Timberhill and everyone who works there. Thank-you all! I have hope that I can improve my strength and balance. My arthritis is even better !

JR does a really good job of explaining things - both what is important in movement and posture, as well as in a picture of progression. He is clear but warm, and knowledgable. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him - I can already tell this is just the help I need.

JR is knowledgeable and has a great understanding body mechanics. He works with my limitations and adjust the workout accordingly. He has a positive attitude, which make me look forward to my next training session. Highly recommend!

JR is an excellent trainer. I can see definite improvement in my strength and endurance since I started working with him. He’s the first trainer I’ve worked with and wish I had started sooner.

JR had a consultation with me to discuss the club's personal training options. We asked lots of great questions to get to know my exercise and sports background, was empathetic to my health and injury issues in recent years. He reviewed the different options offered and and paired me up a trainer he felt would be the right match for me. I'm excited to begin with Mason!

JR is knowledgeable , explains things well and intentional. You’re not exercising with JR, your training and focusing on muscle groups and getting stronger!

Today’s training with JR, was exactly the same as every workout. He is the consummate professional, exhibiting knowledge around various issues I have physically to both provide confidence and challenge. I cannot express enough gratitude that he is at Timberhill.

JR has been a great help on my fitness path. He recognizes where I am at and helps me reach my personal goals.

JR was waiting for me when I arrived and did a great job of explaining my options. He answered my questions clearly and now have a good idea of how to proceed.

J. R. Is a great trainer. He has helped me immensely getting into a regular exercise routine. I highly recommend him.

From my first day of membership at the club there was this friendly and welcoming feeling. Met with JR and the training sessions were clearly explained and easily set up. Looking forward to more involvement.

Very intentional and focused…excited to work with JR, having support and a plan to help me reach my goals.

J.R. was polite , knowledgeable and informative of the trainer programs available at TAC

JR. Helped me figure out a fitness plan for me. I was very happy with his advice.

I have been training with Kyra since June. My main goal was to feel strong and confident in my body, and Kyra has helped me get there. I’ve made progress each week, with Kyra’s ability to create programs that keep me motivated, engaged and challenged. She is thoughtful, intentional with her coaching, supportive and always checks in to make sure I’m getting the most out of my workouts while staying safe. I’ve been able to accomplish new things while lifting that I never would have pushed myself to do on my own. Thank you to JR for matching me with Kyra!

JR is a spectacular trainer. Extremely knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology. Knows how to coach for ideal mind muscle connection and create modifications fine tuned to my own needs/restrictions/injuries. Cannot recommend enough as a trainer. Hoping continued facility improvement and equipment updates are in the plan as well

JR and Rebecca listened to my goals and the training (one year now) is fantastic! Rebecca listened and adapted exercises and also inspired me to continue my fitness journey! The best thing is I never felt too sore or there was never an exercise that caused any problems. Super!
