Our clients are doing great things in and around Detroit, and each month we will be highlighting a new person to let others know what great people we have as a part of the PT in the D community. Rheanne has been a supporter of fitness, getting involved in the community, and all things Detroit since Day 1 when I met her in 2008. When she's not putting in some sweat equity at PT in the D, she's running (literally) in every direction at the Boll Family YMCA to keep the doors open and the programs alive that can enhance and support many families' lives throughout the Detroit area. Here is a bit more about her story... " About 16 years ago, I decided that I needed to join a ....

PT in the D Client Spotlight April

In a normal year, many of us can find enough excuses to allow our own health and fitness goals to be put on the backburner. Enduring a challenging year like the last 12 months, there is no shame in being forced to prioritize work, family, child-care, and anything else that may have created new challenges in 2020. Lynette has, like most, endured her fair share of ups and downs over the last year. But not many have remained as steadfast in their dedication and determination to their health and fitness.

Would highly recommend! PT in the D is conveniently located in downtown Detroit and is a friendly environment to achieve all of your fitness goals. Robert is a pleasure to work with and prepares personalized workouts based on your individual goals. Whether it's a one-on-one session or with a small group, I appreciate that there are many flexible options to fit any schedule. I also appreciate that Robert teaches you the proper technique for the wide variety of exercises and pays close attention to your form to make sure you are doing them correctly and safely. And the air bike.

I’ve been working out with Sean and Robert at PT in the D for a little over two years now and highly recommend them to anyone looking to start up new, good activities and habits. Besides being great trainers, both of them look at the whole human they work with—from discussing eating habits to finding ways to help manage stress. There’s a wide variety of personalized workouts, and the ability to work out in a small group environment brings additional support and encouragement.

Michael S.

I've worked out with many personal trainers in my day and few are as dedicated and gifted as Robert. Each session is personalized and crafted for your individual needs. Robert has an excellent ability to focus and improve on areas of weakness and concern, all while giving constant positive reinforcement. The caring PT in the D community of clients he's created is a testament to all his hard work. I highly recommend PT in the D if you're looking for someone to improve your physical and mental well-being!
