Total Results Training

I worked with Ryan and TRT for almost a year. I showed up to my first bootcamp session scared, real overweight, unbelievably out of shape (we are talking couldn’t run one lap around the soccer field) and totally intimidated. But the lack of judgement, kindness and encouragement he and everyone at TRT showed me kept me going until I’d lost more than 50 lbs and felt athletic and strong and confident. Once, I was frustrated because others in class were faster and could do more than me. Ryan said, «you’re working just as hard as everyone else is. You’re not cheating because you’re not as fast.» That was so huge! The acknowledgement from someone that I was actually busting my butt allowed me to realize that it was true. I really WAS working hard and I was going to get better if I just kept trying!
If I wouldn’t have moved to the opposite end of the city I would still be there. TRT changed my life and allowed me to actually start living it.

TRT is amazing! They actually found a way to make working out fun. An hour would pass by so quickly, but the workout was fun AND it kicked your butt. Even after a week, I started seeing a difference in my body, and strength. Ryan is a great trainer, and the small group settings is intimate enough where he will still push you personally, and help you correct your form for any move. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fun and effective workout with a great trainer.

I have been working with Ryan since January 2014 and he is an excellent trainer. I’ve been active all my life, believed I was in decent shape. I’m over 50, and he’s helped change my body (for the better) no lie. No, it is not easy. Yes, it pushes my boundaries. However, I’m not injured, he’s respectful and professional and he kicks my ass. In a good way. He changes things up so you aren’t bored, and your body is challenged. I started with individual sessions, now I do the small group training which I love. Misery loves company just kidding. RECENTLY CHANGED LOCATION to 3061 N Lincoln (near Barry).

Ryan is a fabulous trainer. I go to small-​group training with him. It is a bootcamp-​like workout indoors with up to five people. Every day is different — Ryan changes it up all the time — but one thing is consistent and that is its intensity. Ryan is a very creative and practical trainer and he is super-​supportive and reliable. After just two months, I have noticed a significant increase in my strength, flexibility, and stamina. Five stars without question.

The customer service off the bat was outstanding I brought in a Groupon that was outdated and we worked out a couple week deal and after that the experience has been just awesome. Looks like some bad reviews from a few yrs ago, but if those are true, it’s a totally different place now.
Feels like family there and I’m so happy and excited to go work out each time. Ryan the owner has been my TRT trainer in the small group sessions and you feel like you are one one one. He’s so personable. Kind and tough on you and finds those little victories and motivates you with them.
The mental results are the first thing to show up. You just feel so good about working out even as out of shape as I was when I came in and weight lose and definition came quickly behind it and honestly didn’t feel like I was killing myself during the work outs. If I did an hr at the gym before I left dying and semi injured. These guys are super pros and the best kept fitness secret at the gym.
Thats another thing about those bad reviews, I’ve learned over the past few months you don’ t need to kill yourself to get those results. Those people sounded upset they didn’t leave hating life. Maybe hey can explain their method better to people. For me my brain got in the right direction, I enjoyed working out and I didn’t strain myself to the point of injury and loose weeks. All that cross fit, P90 x, haha INSANITY, thats the best one and that’s what it is when you work out like that. Even more excited to go work out now tonight.
See you at TRT –Karl

TRT Rocks! I have been an athlete most of my life and gone through a slew of workout regimens, but this is the one I am going to stick with. I easily get bored with the same routine and Ryan makes sure to always switch it up. No two days are ever the same and after each workout I feel like I got my butt kicked. The small group training sessions are the perfect size (5 max) and my workout crew /​Ryan make it an enjoyable experience. Working out now seems like a fun activity versus a chore! The first step is signing up and you should do it NOW :)

I’ve been training with Ryan now for more than 3 months and I love it! Its the first time in years that I can say I’m challenged and working out regularly. I feel great, look great and have a positive attitude about getting in shape. I’m sticking to it and with Ryan!

If i could give this boot camp negative stars I would. Me and two other girls bought the Groupon for the TRT boot camp. We arrived and the instructor, Brian told us to run laps around the soccer field. Okay– warm up– I get it. then after this, he pulled out the ladder. We did the ladder drills for about 20 minutes. I don’t even think a 2^nd grader could think of any more ways to hop scotch through this ladder. It was clearly a time-​waster and the entire time Brian looked like his dog had just died. No motivation, no pushing the boot-​campers to do anything. He literally just sat there and occasionally told us a new way to hop through the ladder in his mono-​toned voice. Not the most ideal person for a 6 and 7am bootcamp.
The next few times I had gone was even worse. Most of it consisted of running back and down the field (something I could have done at home around my neighborhood) we did a couple band exercises for about 30 seconds (not enough to get me or the most out of shape person sore) He never was watching us to make sure we did it right or even once gave us a «C’mon you can do this!» kind of chant. It got even worse when the «sub» came in for the last time I attended. This guy could have slept on the ground on the field. He had us to sit-​ups for 15 minutes, basic sit-​ups and crunches. You know– the ones that most trainers know are not effective. At one point, no one knew what we were doing and he was gazing around the field not even watching. Please do not waste your 250+ dollars on this OR 70 dollars even on a Groupon. You could find something way better and overall these guys are just awful. i cannot believe they actually are making money and still scamming people off this.

I originally started out doing bootcamp with TRT, as part of a groupon. All of the trainers are superb and motivating. I found the whole experience great. It whipped me into shape right away! After the initial three months, I decided to stay on, and continued the bootcamp throughout the summer and fall. It was a great compliment to my marathon training!
In addition to bootcamp, I did the tough mudder race in WI with the team – this is something I never in a million years would have done myself… but as part of a team, it was super fun! And I met some great people along the way!
Once winter came, I started doing small group training with Ryan – he is wonderful to train with, and I’ve really enjoyed the small group setting.
I saw there are some reviews of bad customer service with TRT – I have not had this experience. Ryan is now the owner of TRT, and he will always get back to you via email or phone and try to work with you to sort out any dilemmas.
Whether you choose the bootcamp or the small group training, you will not be dissapointed! They are great!

Another update, I emailed last week asking about my check. They claimed they sent it 3 weeks ago. I asked about re-​sending the check with a tracking number but haven’t received a response. I was also asked to amend my Unilocal review. I told them I would once I received the check and it was cleared by my bank, but since I haven’t received a response from them or a check, I have contacted Groupon in order to try and get my money back. Will update when Groupon gets back to me.
ETA: Groupon got back to me and gave me a full refund. Can’t say enough how crappy the customer service this place has.

I can’t say enough great things about Ryan. I had tried literally everything to take off the extra 10 lbs I gained in my early 30’s. Bar Method, Power Yoga, Running, CrossFit, you name it. After working out with Ryan at boot camp and for personal training, something just clicked and I felt at peace with my body. It wasn’t just about getting skinny anymore – it was more about gaining strength, confidence and power in a way that never made me feel depleted or tired. And all the while, I look and feel better than ever. My best friend from 5^th grade hadn’t seen me in a year and when she did, she said I look better than I did in high school. Now if I could only find that sophomore year dance team skirt…

The little shit knows what he’s doing. Kicks my butt every time.
