Mark is excellent at explaining both the theory and practice, so you actually understand what you're doing and how to do it properly. The gym is very well equipped, always clean, and has everything you need for serious and focused training. Mark creates a relaxed but professional atmosphere, and he's easy to work with, always adjusting the sessions to fit where you are and what you need to work on. Since starting with him, I've seen solid gains in strength and technique, and I feel much more confident with every workout. If you want a personal trainer who's knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you improve, Mark is the guy to see.

I've been working with Matt since before the pandemic! My friend and I shared time In-person before…read morethe pandemic and by zoom since. We learned the techniques and form from him and he's still careful to watch us on on zoom. We have had a couple of in-person sessions and it's helpful to make sure our form is still good. He's always creative in our workouts and sensitive to our needs (we're both older) - eg when we're recovering from surgery or injury, nursing creaky joints, or working out from a hotel room (no equipment!). I feel like we're not just maintaining strength/flexibility, but building on a base he's given us. And, best of all, he's a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to work with.

After…read moreyears of trying different training methods to gain muscle, I finally decided to get professional guidance and it was the best decision! Matt helped me clarify my goals, and then tailored the program to my needs and the equipment at my gym. When I gave him feedback on what was working or not working, he immediately incorporated it into subsequent workouts to ensure my progress would continue. His program pushed me beyond what I thought I could do and the results spoke for themselves. He also gave me invaluable guidance on nutrition, filled in gaps in my knowledge about training, and checked in with me regularly throughout the entire program. To anyone who is serious about making a change in their body, I couldn't recommend Matt more highly.

I'm so excited for my next session already. He's trained so many amazing people. Look at these photos. Wow. He truly has a gift.

The workouts he prepares for me are fun and forever changing so I never get bored, he is professional and ALWAYS on time, enthusiastic, genuinely cares for my well-being and success, and most importantly....MOTIVATING.

He breaks everything down in a way that makes sense to me so I understand what I'm doing so I can maximize results. We revamped my diet to help with fat loss and build sustainable habits.

I did one-on-one personalized coaching with Francisco Gomez. It was pricey but worth every penny…read more Here's why: 1) Goals become reality! Prior to training with Francisco, I did 12 marathons. I had one goal - to finish in under 4 hours. Several times I came close but the goal eluded me time and time again. This year, I decided to do something different and signed up for weekly sessions with Francisco. First and foremost, he analyzed my gait and noticed that my right leg was much stronger than my left and that I was tight in several areas. As such, we worked on strengthening exercises and flexibility every single week. I was also injured, suffering from piriformis syndrome and shin splints, so he swapped 2 days of running on the weekly calendar for the elliptical machine. Francisco also ensured I did my long runs slow. If I'm being honest, I wondered how running less and running slow would ultimately help me run faster come race day but I trusted Francisco and his process. In late June 2019, I ran the Missoula marathon, had over a 5 minute PR, and came in at 3:57!!! 2) Family feel - the whole Fit Potato staff is warm, inviting, fun, and friendly. 3) Long term health - some places/people will push you too hard and you end up injured. Francisco and the Fit Potato team challenge you but they also know that you cannot achieve your goals if you're injured. If you are looking to achieve a goal or simply to improve your overall fitness in a healthy way, I would highly suggest you give Fit Potato a try!

I really liked that the classes are small, every time I show up there is only 6-10 people in classes which is great for me and has allowed me to get more help with my form and accountability. I have also done 4 sessions with on One-on-One Personal Training with Coach Francisco so he could guide me and make suggestions so I can keep a routine going when I go back home. This has been priceless, I have never been able to maintain a fitness routine and get to the point where I enjoy it and miss not doing it. If you are in town for work or live in the area and you are seeking small personal classes with lots of teaching and accountable or seek more direction in the form of Personal Training I highly suggest you give The FIT Potato a try. I was very pleased with coaches dedication to teach and truly make fitness not just a workout but something personal and focus around long term results. I have a new outlook on fitness and look forward to every workout. Huge Mind shift change.
