"Robbie is a wonderful trainer and coach. He is able to tailor his program to best fit the needs of his trainees, rather than a “one size fits all” approach. Over the years we worked together, our work transformed the way I saw my body and what it is capable of. I can’t recommend working with Robbie highly enough."

"Robbie and I built a great training program to help me prepare for two sprint triathlons and my wedding....and then I got MRI results back that I tore cartilage in my knee. Needless to say, we had to pivot. Robbie made sure that my workouts included a lot of pre-hab and lower limb strengthening. We moved to more of a mobility and recovery program rather than the strength that I had initially wanted.

Throughout it all, Robbie was an encouraging voice and sounding board for when I wanted to throw in the towel and become a couch slug. And while I didn't accomplish my original goals (hard to triathlon with torn cartilage) I would recommend working with Robbie in any stage of a fitness journey."

"Robbie did a great job breaking down the steps to eating better and getting more exercise. More than that though was his helping understand how those two things interact on your fitness journey. He was always supportive and was never shamed when I struggled."

"Robbie knows his stuff in terms of losing fat and building muscle. Most importantly, however, he cares. He knows what it’s like to feel uncomfortable on your own skin, he knows what it’s like to juggle the family, work, and fitness.

Listen to friend Robbie Farlow. He’s a cool dude."

"Working with Robbie completely transformed my approach to fitness. He makes the hard work fun and delivers actual results. Whether he was breaking down my form videos or expertly adjusting my programming to protect my 'tweaky' shoulders, his knowledge and responsiveness were top-tier. Robbie is motivating, highly educated in his craft, and the reason I fell in love with lifting. If you want to get results and actually enjoy the process, he’s your guy"
