Robert has been coaching Functional Fitness for just a few months but brings 6 years of experience as an athlete. He enjoys coaching rowing and barbell lifts, with a particular passion for the clean & jerk.

Robert’s coaching philosophy centers around effort and accountability—he believes progress is determined by the work you put in. His coaching style is strategic, analytical, and open, and he enjoys helping members accomplish things they once doubted were possible. In class, members can expect to be challenged, supported, and pushed to their potential.

Outside the gym, Robert works as a Project Controls Analyst and enjoys competitive softball, movies, poker, video games, comedy shows, brain quizzes, and technology. His favorite movements are the rower and clean & jerk, his least favorite are burpees, and he loves workouts that combine machines with barbell lifts. His advice to new members: don’t be afraid of failure and leave your ego at the door.
