You remember all those things you did as a kid when you were playing? Patrick has and incorporates them into a fun and challenging workout. These workouts allow you to realize how jacked up and out of alignment your body really is. Mine WAS really bad! Patrick has challenged me in ways I didn't even know I needed to be challenged. He has worked to bring my body back into proper alignment. In doing so, he has relieved pain in my shoulders, hips, and lower back. I was so used to some of this pain that I just learned to live with it. It is amazing what you can get used to. In addition to relieving my pain, he also increased my range of motion. This has lead to being able to do more in the weight room and simply feel better overall. His workouts couldn't be in at better gym or more fun! His gym is located under a great outdoor San Diego location near you! It is awesome to workout in NTC Park, the beach, Coronado, or another place he knows of. While in one of these great locations, he may have you doing some creative sand bag movement (don't worry-you won't get sandy), playing leap frog, bear crawls, or doing a fun one called over-unders. Patrick will go the extra mile to get you were you need and want to be. He is patient and understanding to your needs. He is creative when designing workouts and has a quick ability to modify if need be. If you have range of motion issues, want to correct your posture, or want to train to your full potential the way your body is designed then you need to see Patrick at Advanced Training Solutions. He did wonders for me and I highly recommend him to someone starting out, wanting to improve, or someone who needs to get over an injury to get back up and running again! read more

We flew Patrick to Tennessee as a holistic consultant. We had looked around in the local area for health and fitness solutions to no avail., Patrick came very highly recommended, and we felt it was in our best interest to utilize his knowledge and expertise.He performed an initial assessment that was complete and thorough. He established a benchmark of our postural alignment, range of motion, stability and dietary habits. Patrick designed a specific program for each of us, based on our current level of fitness and goals.The first thing we noticed was that we felt better! Then what had been our everyday aches and pains went away! We can perform exercises and activities we couldn't do before. Our energy levels have increased dramatically. Our posture has improved and we continue to lose weight. I can run and jump with my three grandkids, work in the garden and have been doing Spring cleaning around our farm that we have had to "hire out" in the past. I believe in Patrick and his program. I truly believe I have a younger, fitter body and mind thanks to his kind, compassionate but spot on process. My husband is currently in the process of a career change and he feels more competitive and able to show his vigor and vitality in a way we neither of us would have dreamed possible just a short time ago. This is all thanks to Patrick. read more

I have been working out with Patrick for about 5 weeks now and I have learned so much! Over the last year or two I started developing pain in my hips and shoulders every time I would exercise. When you work at a computer 10 plus hours a day I guess you are bound to develop issues. After meeting with Patrick and discussing my issues, he did an assessment and from that put together a custom pre and post workout specific to my issues. He also worked up an at-home exercise program that I do on my own that is helping to get my hips and shoulders back in alignment. It has really made a difference. My workouts are WAY more effective and I could actually see changes in my body after week two. Not only are you getting a fantastic workout when you are training with Patrick but you are also getting a ton of information. He is a wealth of health and fitness knowledge that he loves to share. As you work out he explains what you are doing and why it is important. I have learned a lot from Patrick in the last 5 weeks. Patrick has also gone above and beyond! He has followed up after every work out to see how I was feeling. He has checked in to see how the at-home exercises were working for me. He has also sent me nutrition information. I have worked out with trainers before and this has been a totally different experience. read more

I'm 60 years of age and have been very active physically since I was a kid, including participating on the NCAA judo team, extensive running, karate, and at present weights and cardio. I also trained rigorously as a Marine officer. As a result of much intensive physical activity, though, I now have an inventory or old injuries and have had both hips completely replaced, and my body became way out of alignment. Pat has been training my friend Pete Polous for several years and came highly recommended. After performing a full body assessment, Pat developed a program designed to allow me to continue to exercise vigorously while at the same time bringing my body back into balance, which will assist me in avoiding further injuries. This has allowed me to engage me in the physical activities I enjoy and taking on new ones like karate and biking. I've worked with other trainers at 24 Hour Fitness, and while they were able to offer superficial workout routines, none of them were qualified to address the core issues for lasting solutions to my chronic physical challenges the way Pat has. I recommend him highly to any other Baby Boomers who want to continue their fitness regime well into their golden years! read more

I started working out with Patrick a little over a year ago when I became bored with my regular classes at the gym and just running on the treadmill... My boyfriend has been training with him for a while and he introduced me to him. I decided to give him a try. I was 20 pounds overweight by that time, and even though I was working out regularly, I couldn't figure out the reason of my constant weight gain. Patrick analyzed my diet and explained me a LOT of things I didn't know before about the changes in my metabolism and how to keep it active. On the workout aspect, I could say he is the perfect balance between fun and strict to make sure that I'm getting the most out of my routine. He also tailors each session and focuses on techniques that I am most interested in, which makes the time fly by! I would strongly recommend him as a knowledgeable and fun personal trainer, and after all this time of training, as a great friend as well.... Girls, as a warning, he's gonna kick your bu**... but it'll look great after a couple of weeks ;) read more

I would highly recommend Patrick as a knowledgeable, holistic, sensible, honest, reliable, and talented trainer. Around October of 2010, I realized I needed some help getting in shape. I didn't like the idea of having somebody train me but I called Patrick and signed up for his training program. I didn't know what to expect, but from the start, Patrick was a complete professional. Not only did he know his stuff, but he focused on full body health as opposed to just muscle gain or fat loss, etc. So proper stretching and body alignment were not just afterthoughts but instead critical parts of the workouts. Also, his deep knowledge of the physiology was made apparent time and time again, as he would quickly and easily diagnose any problems I was having and come up with solutions to fix them. I left San Diego a year ago but to this day, I still use the exercise routine that Patrick laid out for me, with excellent results- in terms of adding muscle, dropping fat, increasing flexibility, and decreasing back pain. read more

When I heard Patrick was forming Advanced Training Solutions, I immediately knew that his postural approach was the best methodology available in health & fitness. I knew this because Patrick is the most knowledgeable health/science and fitness professional that I have ever worked with. He is not a typical "trainer," by any means. Patrick takes a holistic approach, incorporating science and a profound knowledge base to his philosophy. His expertise reach into almost every arena of health and science. If he hasn't practiced it, he has studied it. The program he put me on is entirely individually tailor designed. Within a week, I experienced results no one else has been able to address effectively! I should have been surprised, but being that I've worked with him in the past, it simply confirmed my confidence in him and his company's focus. Last year, I was Ripped working with this guy! You will not work with a more knowledgeable and result driven professional. read more

Patrick is an excellent trainer with a great knowledge base. His attention to detail and personal dedicated to driving results with his clients is second to none. I have a degree in exercise science & worked in the space for a few years so I have a good sense of who is legit and who isn't. Patrick is as good as they come; his postural focused approach is one I believe in whole heartedly. I've worked out with him 6 times and can honestly say they've been 6 of the best works outs of my life - I already feel a huge difference in my level of fitness, strength and flexibility. If you want to make an instant improvement in your fitness, health and overall well-being I recommend you try a few workouts with him - you won't be disappointed!!. One of the best parts about working out with Patrick is you'll love spending time with him. He is so positive and his energy is infectious. He is one of the most likeable people you'll ever meet. I HIGHLY recommend his service!!! read more

The first thing that comes to my mind about Patrick is his professionalism. Many trainers have the skills and knowledge required to do their job but the difference is that Patrick knows how to deliver personalized value and give you the most bang for your back. He's on time, comes more than prepared with his session expectations and equipment, and exudes an 'in charge' and professional attitude. Slackers need not apply. Trust me, I will do just about anything to not train hard but he doesn't let me get away with it. If he says 20 reps, he means 20 reps. He knows what results he wants, he's not just humoring you and chatting you up to get past the hour, he's keeping you focused and on task, right until the last few minutes of your session are up. He also really cares about you personally and follows up with you in the days following your workout to see how you're feeling. read more

What can I say??? I've been to many trainers, some who have me do the same redundant work out every week....Boring!!!!! But for someone who likes to stay in shape, I want to enjoy my work outs, keep them fresh and new as often as I can. Patrick definitely makes each work out unique and fun. We will train downtown at the park behind the convention center, Coronado, or Pacific Beach. More importantly, he gears each training sessions to your likes and needs. He keeps track of your progress along the way and his main goal is making sure that you get the results YOU want to see. Within the past few weeks of working out with Patrick, I've already started seeing results. With all that said, I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone who is seeking a personal trainer. He is very experienced, honest, reliable and motivated trainer. Working out should be fun! read more

I'm those kind of people that is always on the go, try to exercise daily and maintain a stable weight.... but during my exercise routine i kept spotting Patrick training his clients and witnessed that after three months those girls bodies changed impressively! So here i go and approached him and three conversations later i gathered a group of friends and we are in our second month of training! i cant emphasize enough how my body has toned up, how I've modified my eating habits and seen a HUGE change in my strength! I have always worked out but never like this! I'm sore from muscles i thought i never had! I highly recommend Patrick... he has been not only inspiring but is such an amazing person to be around with... he makes training fun and challenging.... truly something i wait all week to attend! read more

I have been working out with Patrick for about 6 weeks and have already seen amazing results! I have a 5 month old baby & my goal was to lose the baby weight & get toned like a fitness model. In just a few weeks, I feel like I am well on my way. I already lost 8 pounds and all my clothes are hanging off me!! The workouts are specifically designed for each client. He keeps it fresh and fun every single session. I am always excited to go and do my best because I know that in the end, the results will show!!! I highly recommend you try him out. He has such a positive attitude, is very motivating and is like an encyclopedia of information about diet & exercise. You'll see for yourself how quickly you can change your body if you just commit to the diet & his workout plans. Thank you Patrick! read more

I was extremely impressed with Patrick's training regimen and knowledge of the human kinetic chain. As a professional that deals with the human body everyday, I believe his approach to training and methods are not only going to get people into shape but correct structural problems that they would otherwise be training and possible even complicating. I have been training with him for a few months, and am now able to more advanced training that I have never done even through my high school and college sports career. I would recommend him to anyone who is either trying to get to the next level or is trying to get back in shape and reach their health goals. You are not going to get this quality of training anywhere else. read more

Lets put it this way...My wedding is in September and Patrick is making sure I get into dress ready shape! I have enjoyed every session that I have done with Patrick. The workouts are tailored to ones individual needs. For example, I really want to work on my arms. Patrick makes sure that a lot of the work out is dedicated to just that. Patrick is professional, always on time and ready to go. I will continue to use Patrick as my trainer far beyond my wedding. I do it two times a week right now but I am thinking about going three times a week, the results are amazing. I would recommend Patrick to any one who is looking for a dedicated, honest, hard working and experience trainer!!! read more

Patrick's professional and knowledge base exceeds any whom i have worked with in the past. He is not providing simple weight and fitness training. His knowledge and application of expertise goes far beyond that. He has changed my life in many respects. He takes a holistic and comprehensive approach, completely tailored to your current condition and ultimate goals. Those I'm aware of, who've worked with him, have ALL experienced results far beyond expected. If you are ready to change your life, this is the leader to work with. You'll get there. Just listen to him and apply what he's worked so hard to lay out for success. read more

Patrick is an exceptional trainer. He is patient, flexible regarding scheduling and truly focuses on a variety of workouts that target specific areas of your body that you want to tone up and strengthen. The workouts are different each time which keeps the training fresh and engaging. Patrick makes a conscious effort to followup with you after every workout to ensure that you are satisfied, challenged and the level of difficulty is not too straining on the body. Overall, I would highly recommend Patrick and look forward to our workouts every time! read more
