What my Clients Say

I worked with Trevor nearly 5 years and owe him a debt of gratitude for helping me heal and grow stronger in healthy ways. His knowledge, careful listening, and clear communication - along with a great sense of humor - made every training session feel productive and enjoyable. I recommend him without reservation!

I worked with Trevor for several years, including a long stint of tele-training during lockdown. I have some significant back issues, and he always considered my abilities when suggesting and guiding me through my routines. Trevor is so easy to talk to, so personable, so non-judgmental that it was a pleasure to spend time with him. I highly recommend him.

I met Trevor in 2018 when I moved to Portland. My daughter was a fellow trainer and recommended him. He worked with me weekly and helped my recovery from two hip replacements. He kept workouts safe, fun and strengthening. I recommend him for anyone wanting to explore their health.

Trevor is a highly professional trainer with an uncanny understanding of body mechanics. He is observant and respectful of physical limitations but designs his workouts to be challenging and exceed my expectations for improved strength and endurance. Trevor is well read and offers timely conversation with great humor and sincerity.

Hi, I'm Trevor

I’ve been a personal trainer since 2013, helping people 50 to 90 years old use strength training to safely and effectively improve the quality of their lives.

We know that resistance training is crucial for living a longer, better life. We also know that It doesn’t take a ton of time: 2 to 3 sessions a week for 30 to 60 minutes gives you the vast majority of benefits.

However, lifting weights can be intimidating, confusing, and hard to stick to — especially if you have a history of injuries or you’re starting later in life. My goal is to remove that fear and confusion, and turn your workouts into something you actually look forward to.

The approach I take is safe, sustainable, and effective. My clients come to the gym for a couple hours per week so they can spend the rest of their time being better at the activities they love. Whether that’s hiking, running, yoga, or playing with their grandkids, they’re all training for the same goal: to become stronger for life.

Not Really a "Gym Person?"

Yeah… me neither.

That’s why my clients train in a completely private personal training studio in Northwest Portland.

Cozy, clean, and full-equipped, my private training studio has everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Whether you’re training one-on-one or with a partner, it’ll just be you, your coach, and your choice of music on the stereo.

Say “no” to crowded locker rooms, clanging weights, and sweaty strangers. Say “yes” to free parking, expert coaching, and complimentary snacks.

Have a Question?

If you can’t find the answer below, request more information and I’ll get back to you in less than 24 hours.

"Do you only work with certain types of people?"

While the majority of my clients are 50 to 90 years old and generally active, I work with anyone looking to get stronger and fitter in a healthy and safe way. In my 12 years as a trainer, I’ve worked with kids, teenagers, busy professionals, recreational athletes, and just about every other demographic you could imagine.

"I have an injury or medical condition. Can you help me?"

I’m not a medical professional and I can’t diagnose or treat injuries or illnesses.

That said, pain, injuries, and illnesses are a part of life, and I don’t believe they should prevent you from experiencing the benefits of regular exercise. My role is to ensure that you can train safely and effectively within the context of whatever limitations or unique circumstances you might be experiencing.

Depending on the specific circumstance, I may request that you receive clearance from your healthcare provider before beginning to work with me, and I will likely request your permission to contact your healthcare provider or team to ensure that the program we do together is as safe and effective as possible.

"Do I really only need to train twice a week?"

Like most things, this depends.

The CDC’s recommendations for physical activity is that all adults perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and at least 2 sessions of resistance training each week. There is a mountain of scientific evidence supporting this recommendation. The vast majority of my clients come to me for their resistance training sessions, and get their moderate-intensity activity by doing something they enjoy outside the gym on their own time.

If you have particularly lofty goals or are looking to achieve the maximum possible benefit, then training more often and doing more overall activity will likely be beneficial.

"Will you ask me to sign a big, long-term contract?"

Nope.

All of my programs run on a month-to-month basis. If you ever need to cancel, simply let me know before the first of the next month.

"How much does it cost to work with you?"

My individual programs range from $339 to $999 per month.

My partner programs — where you train with a friend — range from $199 to $599 per person per month.

Prices vary based on how frequently we train together and how long the sessions are (30 or 60 minutes). During our first meeting, we’ll figure out a program that works for you.
