    2025: Recovery: Feel better/Move better!

    Saying "no" to more of anything is not something that our culture has a strong track record of doing. Supersize the meal? Sure! Make the workouts harder? Of course! Go faster? Yes! But there is one area that for most of our clients oftentimes say "no" to even if they have the best of intentions: Recovery! Recovery can mean many different things for many different people, but with fitness and health I would narrow it down to a big three of what you can do to help: Sleep/Stress/Stretch (in that order!) Being able to add more recovery time into your daily and weekly routine is no easy task, but one that often gets skipped because we are all busy with life. It's also more common and ....

    2025: Detroit Tigers Season is HERE!

    Spring, warmer weather, and the Detroit Tigers baseball season.... All 3 are here as the calendar turns to April soon! And as much as we all enjoy some warmer weather and a Tigers game, it does create extra traffic and congestion around the studio over the next 5 months to consider. We've been lucky that the past few years have been a little lighter traffic while the team as struggling, but after a playoff run it's safe to expect larger crowds each game this season. We will try to update everyone each week when home games are happening with a schedule in the studio. Plan ahead, when possible, it may take a little extra time to get around downtown on any gameday! Don't hesitate to check ....

    2024: 10 Years Strong! Year in Review

    We spent a good portion of 2024 celebrating our 10 years in business with extra fitness challenges for clients and giveaways each month. We hope this helped everyone stay focused on their health and fitness and challenged each of you to do as much as possible each month. Many of our clients focused on maintaining a balance of family care (most notably those stubborn parents), and work responsibilities which is always a roller coaster trying to strike the right balance. There were a few clients that lost over 20 lbs. and kept it off in 2024, which is no small feat! Many of our clients saw some significant strength gains this year. But most importantly the consistency and commitment to ....

    This time of year, we have a lot to be thankful for. We appreciate our health and all the support that we get from our PT in the D community.

Pope Francis Center exists to provide meals, supportive services, crisis response, and housing assistance to Detroit community members in need, especially those experiencing homelessness. We will be asking for donations over the next 30 days, all you need to do is click the link below ....

PT In The D Google five star review - Amy L

I've been doing virtual group workouts with Robert since 2020. It's been one of the few consistent forms of exercise I've been able to keep up throughout various ups and downs of the last few years. Robert has been an amazing trainer, tailoring my workouts to respond to various phases--injuries, pregnancy/postpartum, etc. I've also really appreciated the fun challenges PT in the D offers. They help provide structure, hold me accountable and create community. Highest recommendation for Robert and PT in the D!

I've been a client of Robert's since 2017 and since 2020, we've been doing largely virtual workouts. There's such a nuance to the workouts that Robert puts together for me - it not only increases my strength, but also helps me maintain movement, flexibility and balance. He really meets you where you are, and cares about his clients true well-being. Robert also creates a community with outings and fun challenges for his clients. Check out PT in the D - you won't regret it!

Love working out with Robert at PT in the D. I’ve been working out with him over a year now and feel stronger and better physically. He makes the workouts interesting and challenging and pushes me even when I don’t necessarily want him to. But also accommodates and adjusts when things don’t feel right. It’s a comfortable non-intimidating space to better your physical health! Would highly recommend for any fitness level
