Strength Training Is Important For Runners

Rick is an exceptional strength training coach—professional, committed, respectful, and encouraging. He’s an excellent teacher who clearly explains how each piece of equipment works and how it benefits your body, so every exercise has purpose.

What sets Rick apart is his attention to detail. He keeps meticulous notes on your progress, tailors each session to your current level, and knows exactly when to increase weight or intensity. His focus on proper form, alignment, and technique ensures safe, effective progress, and his feedback is clear and supportive.

With Rick’s guidance, you stay motivated and consistently challenged, and the results are noticeable both in the gym and in everyday life, with improved strength, movement, and posture.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested strength trainer, Rick is outstanding.

I've been going to Rick for personal training for about two months and I’m so happy I took the leap into his studio! At 60+ years old, I’m pretty active, but have recently been experiencing some aches and pains that come with aging! I was looking for a fitness program that would help me build strength and stamina in a lower impact method. On my initial visit, I was first impressed by how immaculate the studio is - no musty gym odors here! Rick spent a lot of time discussing my fitness goals and crafted a routine that would fit my needs. He is a very attentive trainer (not just putting you on a machine and saying go). He guides me on every machine and checks on posture, positioning and is very supportive- always gently pushing me to reach the next level.

I’ve been going twice a week and I love the way I feel after a session. I’m more energized and feel like I’m standing taller! Vitality Personal Training has really become an important part of my weekly routine and I look forward to each workout.

I first went to Vitality Personal Training when I researched lower back pain and saw that they have a specific weight machine to help. I continue to train with Rick because he designed a program that works to strengthen my whole body, and I am achieving real results. Not only have I had a significant reduction in lower back pain, but I also have become stronger, healthier, and more confident overall because of the personalized workouts and one on one attention. Rick knows which areas to target for improvement and real results. I like that he let me try a workout first and doesn't require a contract, and I sincerely believe this is a place to go for real life-changing results. Try it out. Seriously, in 1 monyou will be stronger and feel more energetic, and you will want to invest in taking care of yourself. It's totally worth it! I go twice a week, and I'm in better shape now than when I was spending hours and hours at the gym or running--plus, I'm not injuring my body from overuse or my own lack of knowledge! I regret time and money wasted trying to be fit when this actually works. It's worth every penny. Update: now down TWO sizes, and having one on one attention from a trainer who designed a program right for me has done more than any other diet, workout, OR physical therapy ever did! Highly recommend Vitality!
