Ross is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with. Referred to me by a friend, I reached out to Ross in need of help for chronic back pain, due to residual effects of a spinal fusion and two pregnancies. The results I have experienced in just a few short months speak for themselves. I am stronger, see positive physical changes, and I am learning how to move pain-free, not only with exercise but throughout everyday life. After doing a thorough assessment in our early sessions, and continuous ongoing assessments, Ross provides a movement and exercise program specific to what my body needs. What I truly love, which no other trainer has done, is his encouragement to stay close to how my body feels with every movement. I have never been so in tune with where the work is happening and how each individual movement makes me feel overall. He re-trains the body with progressive movement, so that the body adapts seemingly very naturally to the exercise over time. I couldn't recommend Ross enough to anyone looking to get stronger & pain-free with intentional exercise. He's professional, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about the success of his clients.

Working with Ross has been fantastic for me. After lots of injuries, including spinal fusion, multiple fractures, and general hard living, Ross has been able to re-train many of the functional issues I've struggled with. The partnership I have with Ross is very different than with a 'trainer' in a gym or other training studios. Ross is incredibly knowledgeable about physiology, movement, and how different types of goals require different techniques. His experience and his ability to communicate really set him apart from the multitude of other trainers I've worked with. The best review I can give is that I look forward to my training sessions with him and to the program I do at home. I'm stronger, more flexible, and have a better understanding of the why and the proper mechanics of my exercises. Highest recommendation for Ross and his system!

Having worked one-on-one with two previous personal trainers, I can say from experience that Ross's approach is in a league of its own. Ross has taken the time to understand my body's movement history and habits, and has built a highly personalized, ground-up program for rebuilding core strength and re-wiring the way my muscles and joints work together. After 20 years of lower back issues, I can deadlift with confidence and a full understanding of what I'm doing. Outside of the gym, I walk, hike, and move through daily life differently as a result. My body is truly learning safer, stronger, more optimal ways of functioning on every level. At age 52, that change is not a given, and no small accomplishment. I recommend Ross to anyone serious about making lasting, sustainable change to their physical health and vitality.

I started seeing Ross in the spring of 2019 after moving to Boulder. I have a pretty active life, but deal with chronic pain. After years of working with other fitness trainers, I needed someone who would be able to help me get stronger AND do it in a safe and sustainable way. I cannot say enough positive things about how great it has been to work with Ross: he challenges me with exercises and gives me tools to improve my fitness in a sustainable and well-rounded way. Plus, he is just a stellar human being. If it were possible to give more than 5 stars, I would.

Working with Ross is different than working with other trainers because he is genuinely concerned whether an exercise or stretch is painful. He stated on numerous occasions that if an exercise is painful that there is always an alternative pain-free movement that can be substituted and will be just as beneficial. Ross is also very knowledgeable about how the muscular system works together. Recently, I was amazed how much easier lunges became after Ross had me first practice a foot/ankle exercise. The most important benefits I've achieved from working with Ross are 1) improved posture and 2) improved coordination and balance. My posture was very rounded due to working on a computer for most of my legal career and 2) my balance became compromised after being thrown from a horse and sustaining a pelvic fracture. After training with Ross for the past eight months, I've definitely seen an improvement in both my posture and my balance. My husband even recently commented on how much straighter I stand.

I've been working with Ross for just over 3 months now and I can't recommend him enough. He is able to quickly identify what is holding you back from your goals and customize a plan to get you there. Results come fast and he has been able to help me rectify years of working at desk with bad posture as well as regain flexibility I hadn't had in years. Ross has a unique approach and understanding of body movement that allows him to be incredibly effective compared to a traditional personal trainer. On top of all that, he is a blast to work with. You won't be disappointed!!

I have had multiple surgeries and physical limitations due to injuries and ongoing stress to my body over he years. I am 65 years old. I have used multiple types of trainers but Ross is amongst the best. He is very in tune with keeping by body painless while putting me through exercises to strengthen my core, shoulders, legs, and every body part. He is very specific in his direction, clear and takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. The practise builds on itself and over time you really feel the difference. It is not like any other type of training I've done. It starts with the smallest muscles and movements and builds to an entire body workout. Whether you have had injuries like me, or just need someone to listen and direct you to better physical condition, Ross is the guy you need. I was in a wheel chair a year ago recovering from a spinal column injury. Many never thought I'd walk, let alone do what I do today. Traditional trainers pushed me to the point where my body was resisting and breaking down. I found myself in pain an having to chose between a workout and discomfort. Ross is very careful to avoid the pain, and to direct the proper method of training to maximize the results and avoid the body breakdown. I am a couple months into the program and I already feel the difference. Ross is re-teaching me to move, stand, and exercise and has effectively eliminated my pain. You have to do your part, it just doesn't happen by itself, but if you are committed to improving yourself and want to be stronger and painfree, I'd give Ross a chance, I don't think you will be disapointed.

Ross is unlike any other trainer I've worked with. I'm a very active person and over the years have dealt with varying levels of injuries that have developed into some bad body habits. I started seeing Ross on and off for some bad low back pain but never really followed through with the complete regimen. A few months ago I got so frustrated with pain that I made the commitment to see Ross regularly. I realized I needed to start at the beginning and do the work to get my body to move the way it was designed. I should have done this a long time ago! Ross has helped me learn to move my body correctly and has reduced my pain incredibly. Working with him is easy and I look forward to my training every week. I highly recommend Ross to help build your body's strength the RIGHT way.

Training with Ross has been BY FAR the best personal training experience I've ever had. He starts by gaining a deep understanding of what's going on for you and your body, then gradually introduces the movements, stretches, etc that will have the biggest impact for YOU. His training is very personalized with just the right amount of coaching and guidance. As a middle-aged man who's led an active life, I've lived with certain aches and pains for decades. Many trainers and practitioners of all kinds have attempted to help, but Ross is the first person who has made a real, lasting difference. This is the best I've felt in many years!

Training with Ross has been wonderful. In my experience, most trainers come with a set program that that they have developed and try to fit their client into that. Ross is the complete opposite. He listens to and analyzes his clients to gain a deep understanding of their needs, wants and movement patterns. Based on that understanding and his wealth of knowledge, he builds a highly personalized program best suited to their goals. The best part is as you grow the plan grows with you. Life is not static, so why should your training be. I came to Ross complaining about a knee issue. Not only did he work with me to improve my stability and strength in relation to my knee but through conversation and observation he was able to understand my greater needs as an active over fifty want to be athlete as well. I look forward to our sessions. Yes, each one is an opportunity to grow and gain a deeper understanding of my body but they are also just fun. He also plays the best music.

Ross has been the light at the end of a long tunnel. Ross came highly recommended by a close friend who listened to my many frustrations on the road to recovery from two PAO surgeries on my right hip. While anatomically I look great, the outcome left me in more pain than prior to surgeries. Thankfully, I have Ross. We are in the process of reprogramming my body and dissolving some of the sneaky habits I’ve developed throughout my life that enable me to compensate for everyday functional movements. Ross is supporting me in rebuilding a strong foundation, which has allowed me to partake in the activities I love with significantly less pain. The BEST part is because of Ross’s expertise, I don’t foresee another surgery on either of my hips in the future. With Ross’s knowledge, close observations of my body’s movements, and personalized program I know I will feel better than I did before surgeries. I look forward to repairing other old injuries and continuing to improve my overall strength, mobility, and awareness.

Ross is a true master. Working with him I learned from the ground up how to move athletically in a more functional manner that requires much less effort/strength and affords me greater flexibility.

Not all “experts” in the fitness industry are created equal and Ross is a cut above any PT or personal trainer I’ve worked with. His approach blends a deep knowledge of biomechanics with a background in functional strength training that, I believe, makes him uniquely qualified to work with clients that have been let down by “cookie cutter” training modalities in the industry. In my case Ross is helping me navigate through a long-standing knee injury. We’ve developed a plan for me to gain the strength required to alleviate the problem while he helps me stay engaged and patient thru that process (supporting me in staying diligent without pushing things too hard and risking aggravating the problem). He’s an A+ trainer but, just as importantly, is an equally excellent human being. Ross brings a welcoming and friendly attitude to every session and shows he cares about his clients success in a way that is all too rare in the industry. Not feeling 100% on a given day? Don’t worry about it. Ross will meet you exactly “where you are” to make sure it’s productive; he’s never overbearing but will still be direct when my form could improve or I have room to progress on a certain exercise. I can’t recommend Ross highly enough.

I started working with Ross, as I was looking for someone who knew about DNS. I had specific back issues and wanted to "train" through to a new level of flexibility and range of motion. Ross's approach was methodical, well balanced and considered all my goals. Working with Ross has been a welcomed experience and more tailored to my individual needs than any other training/trainer I have worked with.

Ross, I'm so thankful I found you! I have never worked with a personal trainer before but on advice from my Doc, I did. With a fractured 5th metatarsal and a rotator cuff tear, I felt like I was falling apart. That, on top of the "Covid 30"... Ugh. After we spoke on the initial phone interview, I knew right away you could help me. So easy to talk to and a good listener. I'm so glad you agreed to take me on. You have given me the tools I need to keep moving forward with confidence and solid goals; re-training at it’s finest! It's truly amazing how you can see a tiny movement that I am doing wrong then show me how to change it to achieve the better result. Those are my "AHHA! Wicked Good!" moments of understanding. It's clear you know EXACTLY what you're doing in crafting these exercises and strength training routines just for me. I also appreciate you stressing to me that PAIN is not good. Don't "push through the pain"... that's old school thinking and wrong. And, I sincerely appreciate you designing workouts that I can easily do in a hotel room, since I travel months at a time for work. Getting a new .pdf after every one of our sessions, detailing each exercise with a description, has been a great reference to help this old lady remember! Lastly, Ross, the emotional support you offer me in the safe space of your private studio has been an unexpected but very welcome bonus. YOU have found your calling ROSS MEYER! And I'm glad I found you. Sincerely, Debra
