Rusty Barbell Strength & Conditioning

Phil has worked with me to set realistic goals in my fitness and continues to work with me to improve. His coaching style makes him very approachable and makes me want to succeed. The best part about working with Phil is that he is always willing to provide an additional demonstration of a technique, if needed, and he will always explain what the goals and expectations are for each exercise. He has even provided me suggestions for activities to work on outside of my personal training sessions. I would recommend Phil to anyone who is looking for a coach or personal trainer.

Every time I train at Rusty Barbell, I feel like an absolute beast. Coach P has the keys to unlock your best you, all you have to do is want it! Whether you’re training to power lift or looking for strength/conditioning for everyday use, this is the spot. Phil puts a lot of thought into the weekly programs, which can be modified for beginners and advanced athletes. The group classes are filled with super nice and motivated people, and every day I learn something new. In the four months I’ve been coming, I’ve gained so much strength and woke up muscles I never knew I had. Can’t wait to see where this takes me. Definitely recommend!

I have been training with Phil for nearly a year now. Phil is an excellent trainer. He listens well in order to understand my problems and objectives, and prepares the workout accordingly. He has a large repertoire of exercise, which keeps the workout interesting. He's very good at giving observations of, and suggestions to, my posture.

With so many fitness programs and trainers saturating the fitness market it's hard to know what program will work and what trainer will be committed to you and your goals. Phil (the owner of Rusty Barbell) is all of those things. He deeply cares for his clients and makes sure each program is tailored to each client's wants. I've been working with Phil for a little bit over a year now and I can say with confidence that he is one of the most talented, hard working and dedicated coaches I've ever come across. He truly cares about the relationships he has with people he coaches and it shows in his daily communication and insight. Lastly, he is realistic about the workouts he programs in order to make sure he is making them challenging while also ensuring you don't get injured or pushing yourself past discomfort. I recommend Phil and his programming to anyone wanting to make progress/get fit while being able to work with a wonderful trainer.

Highly recommended! - I have been training with Phil for close to a year now. As a trainer, Phil is very motivating and pushes you just enough towards achieving new and realistic goals. Coach P’s routines strike the perfect balance between a fun and tough workout. They are dynamic, with a variety of movements so you never get bored. Phil is also excellent with understanding muscular injuries and helps with recovery and strengthening of tissue. I’m especially appreciative of how accommodating he has been with any changes in scheduling. Thank you for helping me get this strong, Phil!
