I hired Devon to work with my husband as his personal trainer and then had the opportunity to train with him myself. Devon and I worked together for over a year. He introduced me to boxing, which i LOVED! Devon always managed to find fitness routines that would challenge me and help me strengthen the areas that I needed to work on the most. He gave me excellent nutrition and fitness advice and helped me map out the best way to train for my first triathlon. I often accessed his expertise as a physical therapist and eventually became went to him for PT as well. You cannot go wrong with Devon! He's patient and understanding, but also makes you sweat!

I worked with Devon from 2009 through 2011, and had a great experience with him. He changed my routine every 8-10 sessions to keep things fresh and interesting. I was in the best shape I have ever been during the time we worked out together. Devon listened to my needs in terms of developing a routine I could take on the road (I often travel for work), and could complete in my hotel room or gym without difficulty. My routine at home did not require equipment and utilized things we had around the house. In addition to being an excellent trainer, he was able to provide great advice on the nutrition front to supplement the results from our work-outs. Due to scheduling conflicts, I had to stop our work together (and have thus not maintained the results I achieved with his help and support); otherwise, I would still be working with Devon.

A few months ago I reached out to Devon after suffering lower back pain. The pain was so severe that it made it difficult for me to walk and even taking care of my children made it difficult. I seeked Devon's expertise after visiting a doctor's office as the medications prescribed was not healing the pain. After the few exercises Devon had me do I can honestly say I noticed a difference and felt much better. He was able to tell me what could've caused the pain and what exercises I needed to do in order to help my core muscles so that I can prevent it from happening again. I continue to do the exercises as told and slowly am seeing results with my core muscles. I trust Devon with his expertise and know he would be the person I would call on if I ever were to need him again. Thanks Devon!

Devon is the best Personal Trainer I've ever worked with. He's patient, creative and knowledgeable. With Devon, you don't feel like just another client. He takes his time understanding what you want out of your sessions and maps out a strategy to get you there. I highly recommend his services. Give him a call and you won't regret it!

I had the privilege of working with Devon after a hamstring injury from playing soccer. That was the best fitness experience of my life. He is a very patient person to work with. After I recovered from the injury, I was so impressed with the work he did, I stayed with him for another 2 months for personal fitness training. Devon exceeded my expectations, and I will work with him again in the near future.
