| - When I first started my fitness with Thurston Personal Training I'll admit I was a bit skeptical of the training concept. I typically workout one of two ways: either in a large group directed format like a yoga or boxing class or independent with my head down and ear buds blaring in a solo workout. I'm also a bit of a self proclaimed gym rat, so I've worked with trainers from private to corporate gyms and everything in between. Typically, every few months or so I'm on to the newest fitness craze, but working out with Seth and the group at TPT is the first time this has ever changed for me.
??Everything from the custom workouts, which constantly challenge me from a fitness perspective, to the feeling of genuine camaraderie and friendship that exists within is completely unique. I'll start with the most important thing, the workouts themselves: Every time I have stepped into the gym there, I have experienced a challenging and adaptable workout. Sometimes I come in full of energy, ready (I think) to tackle a 2 hour workout, only to find that one hour, and sometimes less, is all I actually need when I'm truly being pushed. There are other days when I've shown up exhausted and convinced that I should leave and yet there is something about the atmosphere and the ability of the trainers and coaches there to turn it around and get me to do "just one more" when I thought I wasn't even going to be able to start. I actually came in for a period of time coming out of a bad ankle sprain and various other sports-related injuries and even then, they were able to adapt my workouts to keep me safe and still challenged.
??There's a few different personalities among the trainers too, which works great because it allows them to meet any client on their level. I've seen everyone from the elite performance athletes to the older individuals who are recovering from serious injuries that had previously required extensive physical therapy. In fact, I spoke to an amazing woman the other day who shared that she had been working out with Seth for just under a year and had barely been mobile when she first started coming in. This was extremely impressive since she appeared agile and strong and said she was working out 4 days a week now! She is also 10 years older than my mom and I actually got her phone number so my mom could talk to her. My mom assumes I workout at a place that is only for fitness junkies (there's definitely some of us who are like this at TPT), but with this many diverse trainers and clients there is a place for people of all levels.
??Speaking of the clients, I also want to comment on the other people who exercise at TPT. I don't usually like to go into a place and form friendships because I just want to get in and get it done, but you can't workout here without making a few new friends - even by accident. I started by keeping to myself but I've actually come to really look forward to seeing the people who workout at various times there now. We all kind of come and go at our pace with whatever we have going on that particular week, which is something else I really like about this structure, but I truly enjoy the high quality of people who make this their home! I think this probably has a lot to do with the caliber of the trainers here; it seems natural that they would cultivate other like minded individuals who are as successful and kind as they are.
??From an accomplishment perspective, I've never been in better shape than when I stay consistent with my workouts at TPT. Seth, Aaron, and Steven all know exactly what they're doing to get you to your goals and it's impressive how unique and challenging their workouts are designed to be. I've literally watched a dozen or more individuals completely transform their bodies and I've seen them work tightly on nutrition, cardio, strength, and flexibility. They have homemade food you can order for delivery or offer meal plans they will custom design for you to take home if you cook yourself. They also provide measurements to track your progress, and fantastic workouts for every day in between!
I have exercised alongside everyone from competitors for fitness shows to business owners who simply go in for their 2-3 workouts in a week before running off to work and I've never felt like my workout suffered one bit. Most days I actually feel like I'm getting trained personally because that's just how good they all are! Not to mention that the price does not reflect even a fraction of what one-on-one sessions at a big box gym would cost. By the way, if you happen to prefer this setting, each of the guys there definitely has the bandwidth to accommodate one-on-ones and it seems like private sessions are just as popular as the small group setting, so it really is just personal preference. Anyway, my advice? Give Seth, Aaron, Steven, and the rest of the family at TPT a try if you want results, affordability, and an amazing environment!
