personal training
Our personal trainers are all under the guidence of one of the original SuperSlow masters, Steve Reis, who has taken great care to bring us the safest, most effective form of exercise that can be found. Your 20 minute, semi-private, strength exercise sessions are intense, so we specially train our coaches for this environment.

A friend recommended SRS and she was a willing but wary client. After 3 months of training, Katie found that she was in far better shape than she had been for years. Inspired by what 20 minutes a week can accomplish, Katie joined the SRS team. Katie enjoys growing cutting flowers and volunteer work. She has a great husband and two wonderful children who keep her world spinning!

John became interested in personal training after his martial arts instructor, Wes Hardy, suggested it. Wes was a personal trainer with a local gym, FIT, and he put John through the most intense work out he had ever experienced, and it only took 20 minutes! He was hooked and became certified by Steve Reis 12 years ago.
During the time John has been training using this method, he has become healthier, stronger and more energetic. At age 46, John competed in a bodybuilding contest using this method.When he isn't instructing exercise sessions, John races motocross and rides mt.bikes.
