I chose Brent as my personal trainer for a number of reasons—he is approachable, he offers up lots of information and he works to accommodate my knee issues. However, the number one reason why I wanted to work with Brent is because he had a plan. He talked to me about my goals, looked at my past workout history and did lots of research to create the perfect fitness plan for me. Brent is actively and genuinely engaged with all of his clients.

Brent is like a coach working with players during basketball practice. Leading, teaching and motivating his clients to achieve their goals—even if that means doing something they would never do on their own. I completely trust Brent—not only as a trainer, but as a friend. He remembers my birthday and lets my daughter, Madison, come and participate. As a mom, that means the world to me—he has really made it easy for me to add fitness into my busy life.

A few years ago, when I was nearing the age of 50, I decided it was time for me to become serious about getting fit and felt the best way to do that was with a personal trainer. Even though the thought of working with a personal trainer was a little bit intimidating, I never felt uncomfortable with Brent. He always put me at ease and although the workouts were hard, they were actually fun, too. Soon after I started working with Brent, I did indeed turn 50—and felt better and healthier than I had in a very long time. He pushed me beyond the limits I thought I was capable of—giving me the best results for the time and money. After almost a year of training, I decided to see what I could do just working out on my own. While I was able to maintain my fitness level for awhile, it was much harder to keep myself motivated without hearing Brent’s voice urging me on. Needless to say, I’m back and excited that I have the opportunity to take advantage of his expertise in fitness training and his enthusiastic level of commitment to his clients. If you are committed and work with him, you will see results and enjoy the journey along the way.

As a forty something-year-old woman who had never exercised a day in her life, I was completely intimidated by the idea of even walking into a gym. I thought taking a fitness class might be a good start, but quickly found out that I could not keep up with the instructor. I felt completely foolish and defeated—ready to throw my fitness goals out the window. A co-worker suggested I hire her personal trainer, Brent Parkhill, just for a few sessions to get me started. This “intro” into exercise has turned into two years of working with Brent twice a week. His expertise and compassion was exactly what I needed to get over my fitness hump. Not only am I comfortable walking into a gym, but I know exactly what I should be doing and what my focus should be to achieve the best results. I am stronger and more fit now at 48-years-old than I was in my twenties-- I actually have real muscles I can see and feel! I can’t put a dollar amount on the benefits I have received, but I do know this is the best investment I have ever made. Brent has completely changed my life!
