I've worked with a few trainers in the past, but none have come close to the level of knowledge and attention to detail that Patrick brings to every session. His understanding of body mechanics and proper form is truly next level -- he doesn't just tell you what to do, he explains why it matters, which has helped me train smarter and avoid injury. He tailors each workout to your individual fitness level. He took the time to assess where I was starting from and designed sessions that pushed me without ever causing injury. On top of all that, he's just a genuinely great guy. No macho BS, no gym bro vibes -- just a down-to-earth, supportive trainer who actually cares about helping you reach your goals. read more

Patrick is a rockstar at mobility and pain relief. I had a lingering pain from a wrist sprain and Pat helped me with some sports massages that helped a ton and gave me instant relief! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This review is for anyone searching for top-tier, one-on-one attention when it comes to mobility, stretching, and physical therapy. Patrick truly is passionate, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented about what he does. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a priority, not just a time slot. What sets this business apart is the attention to detail. Every session is fully customized. He doesn't just run through a generic routine--he listens. I mean really listens. I came in with chronic tightness and pain in my hips, glutes, and shoulders (from sitting all day and pushing too hard at the gym and pickleball), and within minutes he had assessed my movement, posture, and range of motion in ways no one ever has before. Instead of a cookie-cutter plan, I was guided through specific mobility drills, stretches, and gentle corrective exercises tailored exactly to what I needed. And the best part? He explains the why behind everything--what muscles are being targeted, how this connects to your pain or tightness, and how to keep improving between visits. The session was equal parts education, activation, and restoration. I left feeling looser, more aligned, and empowered with tools I could take home. This is not a factory-style PT clinic. This is someone who genuinely cares about your progress and is deeply invested in your wellbeing. If you want results--not just temporary relief--this is where you go. **Highly, highly recommend.** read more

Patrick has been a HUGE help to my physical well being. Thanks to his knowledge and care I have lost weight, changed my negative eating habits, and relieved pains in my back. It's not just about showing up and doing a workout. Patrick teaches you how to stay healthy throughout your life. If you're ready for a real, positive change, call Patrick! read more

Patrick is somebody who will motivate you and push you every session! Aside from his knowledge in fitness, he really knows how to work with people! read more

Patrick really values his clients like I haven't always seen with other trainers. He's truly committed to his work and wants what is best for you. He will push you to be better. There's so many times I did not think I could handle the workout but he pushed me to try and I've improved so much. On top of that he's so good-humoured and positive. I could not recommend him enough! Got me out here ready to find my husbanddddd of how fine I look OKK! read more

Patrick is truly the best! I was looking for a trainer to hold me accountable in getting fit for my wedding and am so glad I found Patrick. I am not a huge fan of working out but I look forward to my sessions. Each one is different so it never gets boring or routine and the gym is always clean and not too crowded. Patrick adjusts the workouts based on my needs, goals (e.g., working on certain areas), and abilities and I feel myself getting stronger each time. He's great at pushing and motivating me without being unrealistic or harsh. I've already come a long way since the first session. Even scheduling is flexible and easy to accommodate my busy schedule. Can't recommend him more! read more

Patrick is an amazing trainer & coach. So inspiring. I've trained with him on and off since 2016. He is my go-to for training, he challenges me. As a trained technical, studio competition dancer & cheerleader for more than 20+ years, I've always considered myself to be "fit" and in shape. When I met Patrick, boy was my eyes widened. I had NO idea what I was doing, especially with my nutrition. I just kept eating or fasting, there was no discipline. Patrick holds you accountable and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. He's helped me focus more on my nutritional goals which compliments my physical goals. With some slight changes in my dietary habits, I've seen noticeable results - Not just in my physical appearance but in my energy levels. I perform better. He's such a great coach, mentor and friend, I don't know where I'd be without him. Thank you Patrick! read more

Training with Patrick has been the best decisions I've made in my fitness journey. He pays very close attention to the details of my training and nutrition. Weekly check ins help hold myself accountable and stick to the program he has customized for me. The best aspect about training with Patrick is knowing that he is not only my coach during our session, but anytime I need him. I ask him questions when I'm out with friends about food choices in certain restaurants and how I can be flexible with my eating while staying the course. I'm very thankful for my coach and wouldn't trade him for the world! read more

I met Patrick through a mutual friend. It wasn't until months after we crossed paths that i decided to reach out to him for a lifestyle change. Through is support and training, i have been able to apply those lessons to every decision i make surrounding how I want my body to look and feel! I have made tremendous progress in the kitchen and in the gym to sustain my goals. You won't regret it! read more

Patrick is a great trainer and nutrition coach. I've been working with him for around 15 weeks on and off and I continue to enjoy our sessions and the progress I'm making. He is fun to workout with, and has been doing a good job of tailoring my workout routine. In addition, his nutrition outline is simple and effective. It's a subtle game changer -- I feel full and have the energy to workout and go about my day. Also, I appreciate his flexibility with my schedule -- I travel for weeks at a time and Patrick never seems to be stressed about it. All in all a great coach! read more

Patrick is the real deal. I have been training with him for a little while now and I always look forward to our sessions. He sets goals, pushes me to achieve them and then gives me a new goal to aim Towards. Sessions are fun and informative and I always understand what we are doing because he takes the time to explain and demonstrate thoroughly. Besides all this.. Patrick is just a great dude! We smile and laugh and still get serious and work hard. My fitness journey is now enjoyable and never a chore. Thanks Pat!! read more

Patrick is a great motivator, trainer, and nutrition coach. As someone who's hired a coach for the first time I was nervous about having someone who would push me in the wrong direction. I can truly say that Patrick knows what's best for each person dependent on their goals and will only push you to be better, plus he always tries to make the workouts fun. My strength and body has improved so much over 6 weeks and I can't wait to see how another 6 weeks go. read more

Every fitness journey I've personally set out on, I've failed. I knew it was time for me to invest in a trainer/coach. After scrubbing through yelp for a few days, I reached out to 5 people, and Patrick was by far the most swift in response, most professional, and most elaborative Fitness and Training Professional that I spoke with. I signed up with him starting out with a 20 session package and I can honestly say he is a full package couch. Training, Nutrition, Life Style Changes, and Accountability. Patrick is single handedly responsibly for changing my life. I feel healthier. My body looks amazing. My stamina is up. Most importantly I enjoy and appreciate fitness now. Outside of his expertise he is authentically a fun person and makes each session exciting. I look forward to our workouts and he pushes me beyond my limits in a positive non aggressive way! Best decision I've made in a long time! read more

Patrick is an amazing trainer + coach. He prides himself on making your road to your goals, whatever they may be, as easy and smooth as possible. Working out has never been one of my favorite things to do but now, I've fallen in love with it. My favorite thing about training with Patrick is him giving me tips + tricks to deal with the pains of being on my feet all day seeing as I am a barber. He gifted me a lacrosse ball which we used to cure my shoulder pain and taught me stretches that help with my lower back pain as well. Training with Pat has been one of my best life investments to date. read more

Patrick is an absolute dream both as a fitness coach and as a friend. He's thoughtful in his programming, and pushes me in a way that's firm but realistic. I always feel GREAT [sore] after our sessions and ready to conquer the day, but what I value most in our time together is connecting as people and thinking about wellness holistically, not just the physical/nutritional aspect, but the mental and social as well. Patrick is a special gem of a human and I count myself immensely fortunate to call him my trainer and friend. read more

I have tried boot camps, diets, keto and everything you can think of but when you research online by yourself you end up getting a lot of info that isn't specific to your own body type. I say this because with Patrick's program I have achieved goals I have been trying to do for years, his knowledge and overall dedication to you is amazing. I'm so thankful for finding him! Feel free to reach out to him he was so fast with answering all my questions during my consultation, thank you Patrick! read more

Patrick is truly a great coach that's committed to his clients and their success! He listens to their specific unique wants and needs and tailors a customized program that fits your personal fitness goals. He's extremely knowledgable and makes sure you understand the science and reason behind each movement and how it impacts your overall performance. Additionally, he's understand that better health and fitness isn't just centered around the gym and workouts but how it's a complete life and routine change. He helps you better understand how to tackle things piece by piece so that it's not overwhelming. A great trainer that I would highly recommend! read more

THEE Patrick Brown exceeds expectations of those assigned to a typical trainer. His business is not only professional but personal, his attention to detail and customer satisfaction cannot be bought or taught. He is continually showing up as a goal setter, educator, cheerleader, mentor, and part time therapist. When I first spoke with him on the phone in preparation for our meeting, he talked for 5 minutes solely on how grateful he was to have this as his career, and how thankful he was to be able to help people change their lives and achieve their goals. Patrick is not only a great trainer, but a great human being. read more

Patrick's nutrition package is top tier. Within a few weeks I saw changes in my body composition. I actually hesitated to get a training/lifting program because I usually do my own workouts, but I'm so glad I did. I gained the much needed muscle I needed as well as lost fat while increasing my metabolism. It's been great thus far! He's super knowledgeable and has also helped me with past injuries! read more

Pat is that motivator that makes being in the gym at 6am actually a good time ‍ and no matter how tired I am I know that my body is in good hands with my trainer He's always prepared with workouts that are customized to my body and goals. He makes sure that I'm doing workouts that build me up and make me strong and fit while still looking feminine. So honey if you're tryna' have that booty, the abs, and feel 5 years younger... Patrick is your man to get you set! read more

Since training with Patrick, I have seen noticeable improvements in my movement patterns, overall technique, and conditioning in general. As someone who is already a big gym goer, taking my fitness to the next level with the help of a knowledgeable peer (turned coach) has helped me make tremendous progress, as well as diversify my general routine. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone, whether you are just starting out or already experienced and ready to take it to the next level. read more

Patrick is an amazing trainer! He will cater your nutrition and workout program specifically for you that is sustainable and 100% effective. The proof is in the pudding! This man knows what he's doing! Book him now! :-) read more

I have been training with Patrick For a few years now and it ever gets old! He is open to share his journey through fitness which makes him more relatable and very easy to express my concerns and goals with. Patrick also has a background in dance and cheerleading which he uses to make each work out feel exciting and helps me, a former athlete, feel like I'm still training with a coach preparing for a big game. I highly recommend Patrick for any of your fitness dreams. Go Fit Feans! read more

I'm obsessed with Patrick. Pat has trained me for the last 9 months and I noticed results in 2. I can't stop going to him because he makes it fun. He's extremely funny, focused and a great time. Sometimes I have to stop a set because I'm laughing so hard. I guess that's good for abs too. My schedule and day to day can be annoying since I work in production and things change quickly. He's very understanding and accommodating and that goes a long way. I hesitate giving too good of a review because I need my Patrick time too. Back off! read more

About 4 months ago, I decided I needed to get my body in shape. I had had a hard two years filled with life-changing health issues of a family member, and I had let my own health fall to the wayside. I was terrified of the gym and of diets and exercise in general. Not only was I extremely out of shape, but I have also struggled with an eating disorder in the past, where I had been banned by doctors from exercising due to health risks. I knew I wouldn't be able to get back into shape on my own. I began researching trainers in the area, and came across Patrick on Groupon of all places. I figured I had nothing to lose and the commitment was just two sessions for a low cost. I hesitantly scheduled my first session, and my life hasn't been the same since. I pulled up to Retrofit, where Patrick, knowing how nervous I was, met me outside so we could walk in together. The anxiety and intimidation I felt walking into the gym vanished almost immediately after Patrick and I got started. The journey has been difficult and there were several times during those first two sessions where I felt I wanted to cry (or did... but who's keeping track), but Patrick had the right balance of understanding and tough love to get me through it. I knew that if I was going to continue on this path to fitness and health, the only way was with Patrick. We set goals and began chipping away at them. He never pushed or pushes me past my capabilities, but continues to push me past my comfort zone in a way that makes me feel strong, accomplished, and safe. I am now rounding the corner on my 50th session with Patrick, and I wouldn't change the journey I have been on for anything. I continue to see changes in my body, which has always been a struggle for me to acknowledge or notice, with my eating disorder past. I take pride in seeing the small changes, knowing that I am accomplishing them in the best and healthiest way. Not only do I look different, but I feel different as well. Only about 4 months in, and I am already so much more comfortable in my own skin. There is nothing like being able to put on a top or pair of jeans that you haven't been able to wear in years, and feeling great in them. I'm happier, more driven, and healthier. I look forward to my sessions with Patrick each week, not only for the workouts, but also for the conversation and entertainment. You find me someone who can whip you into shape and make you laugh the whole time, and then I'll show you Patrick, because there is NO ONE like him. He is always in a cheerful mood, ready to work and help me meet my goals. He is always bringing new information and exercises to the table, and reminds me that we are there to change my life when I encounter something that is extra difficult or unenjoyable. I never leave feeling less than proud, accomplished, and happy. I cannot express enough how amazing Patrick is as a trainer and as a person. No matter what your goals, Patrick will help you meet them, and he will make you laugh while he twerks the whole way there. 1000000/10 would recommend Patrick to anyone. read more

Started training with Patrick early 2016 and so far, the experience has exceeded my expectations. Going into this, I had never trained nor lifted weights and was just looking to compliment my basketball play and make a true lifestyle change for healthier living. On top of this, I've been able to develop a relationship with Patrick and can see his genuine care for people and the passion for what he does. The biggest positives for my needs: -Very flexible with scheduling and time. I am in and out of town and even when I am in town, my schedule can change by the hour. Patrick is more than flexible and accommodating with making it work, and this has kept me consistent and motivated. -Dynamic sessions and variations in the workout exercises. The sessions are never repetitive and I am always learning new exercises that are personalized, fun, and motivating which keeps up my competitive spirit. When I feel the need to switch up our routine, and go outdoors for basketball exercises, he can accommodate for this as well. -Personable and professional. With any relationship, the key to success is having trust. I've developed this trust with Patrick and not only does he keep it professional, punctual, and organized, but the workouts are enjoyable and he is someone that allows you to be comfortable which equates to a positive experience and being able to connect whether during a session or time outside of. Great results so far and would highly recommend! read more

I am a trainer myself and work at the same gym as Patrick and I can genuinely say he is one of the best trainers I've come across. He is caring about his clients and their goals. He also is a person that you look at and just want to smile because he has that energy about him. 100% Recommend Patrick to anyone that wants a GREAT TRAINER and GREAT RESULTS!!!!! read more

I'm a true advocate of a healthy lifestyle. I also love food and despise working out. So, how do I maintain a healthy lifestyle?....Patrick Brown. I figured, instead of taking the easy expensive way out with liposuction, I could spend way less with a trainer and actually maintain a healthy and fit body on my own. (No shade on plastic surgery). I have had some really basic trainers that think they know what they are doing by pushing you too hard and giving generic advice on nutrition. Patrick actually pays attention to your body movement during each exercise and will focus on mobilizing any specific area that is hindering you from doing the exercise correctly. He is great with changing up each session so the exercises never get old. He also devises weekly nutrition plans and makes you document your meals and caloric intake on a daily app. He's funny, energetic and quite knowledgeable of anatomy and physics. His personal testimony on his own weight loss and change in diet also allows him to be more compassionate to your own journey. He texts you on off days to remind you to work out and just check to see how you're doing in general. I was planning to just try him out for 20 sessions and just booked another 20 sessions with him. I feel a difference in my body, I've gotten stronger and even dropped a few pounds while tightening all my jelly. I highly recommend Patrick to ANYONE that is in need of a trainer and serious about putting in the work to getting the body you've always wanted. He will not disappoint you! read more

Patrick is an extremely knowledgeable and motivating trainer. He helped me get to the bottom of my ongoing hip and knee problems by teaching me mobilization techniques and workouts. He's pushed me to limits I didn't think I could reach, and I definitely feel stronger because of it. He's a great trainer, and I highly recommend him! read more

I have been training with Patrick for a little over a year and a half now and he is still bringing new elements and techniques to each session. Patrick is truly the best trainer I have ever worked with. He always brings 100% attention to each and everyone of our sessions and consistently pushes me to reach new levels of physical strength and endurance. Not only is Patrick my trainer he is my coach. If I can't be training with Patrick he is always available via text to answer any and all my questions I have about circuits, posture and body position. Patrick even sends me texts out of the blue to check in with me if we haven't spoken in a while. My appreciation and respect for Patrick and what he does is beyond words. If you are looking for a new personal trainer Patrick is your man! read more

Full disclosure ... Personal trainers need trainers too! As a very busy trainer myself, sometimes It's nice not to have to think so much when it comes to my own workout. That's where Pat comes in. Out of all the options I have, I choose to train with Pat for several reasons. First of all, he is an extremely skilled programmer. He thinks about our workouts and plans specifically for me and my goals. He also knows how to push me to my limits while still making me feel accomplished. His ability to make me cry is not because his workouts are that hard (which sometimes they are lol,) but because I'm laughing and having fun while I sweat buckets. Patrick is a perfect combination of a coach that is going to push you and a good, fun guy who is going to believe in and get the best out of you. read more

Pat is a fantastic trainer and coach! My goal was to lose a little and really tone up for the summer. He watches my form and makes sure I am doing every exercise correctly. He isn't one of those trainers that is on his phone all the time. He definitely will keep you entertained and laughing which helps make the sessions go faster. He even does nutrition plans to make sure I am succeeding outside of the gym also. If you want a trainer that knows his information and knows how to transform the body this is your guy! read more

Patrick is such a motivating and passionate trainer. He really knows what he's doing and makes the workouts fun and exciting, even when they are hard AF! He pushes you because he knows you can do it and that's exactly what I like. Not only is he great at what he does, but he always has a smile on his face and is super energetic. His vibe is contagious and I'm so happy I chose him as my trainer. If you're ready to change your life then definitely get with Pat. read more

I LOVE working with Patrick. I've worked out with a few different trainers over the past few years and Patrick definitely ranks #1. He's motivating, challenges you and makes you work hard. Within a couple weeks of working with him, I quickly felt my body getting stronger and more lean. He always switches up the routines, so you're never bored. He is also just a pleasure to be around. I've recommended him to several, so def rec him to all you Yelpers! read more
