I've been training with Bob for almost two years which is by far the longest I have stuck with any sort of training or exercise program. That in itself is testimony to working out with Bob! In a fairly short time, I could notice a significant increase in my fitness. My posture and core strength improved, my legs were stronger, my ankles and wrists had a better range of motion. Each 30-minute session targets all areas of the body, and Bob changes the program about every 8 weeks to ensure a variety of exercises.
As a trainer, Bob starts where you are. Not only is he encouraging, but he is also very knowledgeable about the science of exercise and fitness. He makes sure that each activity is done with proper range of motion and form so as to ensure the best results and avoid injury or muscle strain.
The thirty minutes seem to fly by. At the end of the session, I feel tired but accomplished and have also enjoyed time spent chatting with Bob. I highly recommend this program!

I like the concept of one time a week training. Within a short period of time you are in & out, feeling stronger & ready for the day. Bob has the engaging personality that makes you keep coming back.

I have been working out with Bob for 15 years. He has increased my muscle strength and helped build my bone density. Bob’s program also assisted in maintaining my weight throughout the past decade. He is knowledgable about nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. His once a week program is perfect for my very busy schedule. I highly recommend him.

Yep, it's true, weight training once a week will build muscle as long as you keep challenging that muscle, and Bob makes sure you do. I have been training with him for almost 5 years, and becoming stronger has significantly reduced episodes of back pain and hand pain from arthritis, improved my balance, stamina and posture so I can continue to walk long distances and hike where I want. Also, increasing muscle mass can improve sleep, which has been true for me.
Bob's program makes weight training incredibly easy. He is extremely knowledgeable, has more exercise machines than I have ever seen gathered in one place, keeps track of repetitions and makes sure you continue to increase weight safely. He also changes things up frequently. Bob's "secret sauce", though, is his funny and engaging presence. Training with Bob has become something I look forward to, and the time goes quickly.
I would encourage any one to start weight training with Bob. When done safely, there is no downside. Before I started with Bob, I had many good intentions with nothing to show for them. Bob meets you where you are, respects your individual goals, provides structure, and encourages you, all of which greatly increase motivation.

My husband and I are in our 50s and have been training with Bob for over 2 years. Bob individualizes the program for each of us depending on our physical condition and goals. We feel strength training has improved our overall wellness including range of motion, balance and physical abilities. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone considering a strength training program. It has been a huge benefit to us. We have noticed training has made a difference in our daily activities by allowing us to do things easier and without injury.

My wife and I have been trainees of Bob Tomb for approximately six years. It has been the best conditioning investment that we have ever made. We like the fact that we get a personalized intensive weight workout on the best equipment we have ever seen. The workout is sufficiently intense to give us a substantial aerobic workout as well as strength training. We would encourage anyone to take advantage of Bob’s program.

I started my exercise sessions as a 70 year old male. I would describe my physical condition at the beginning as 'pretty bad', with lower back weakness.
After a year of regular weekly workouts, my strength and stamina have definitely increased and I look forward to continuing improvement in the future. My core area has strengthened and my back issues have lessened as a result.
For me, the major positives have been:

Bob’s focus on strength has greatly benefited my overall health. I appear more toned and feel stronger as a result. He holds me accountable with our weekly workouts but the commitment is manageable with my hectic schedule of working full time and raising 3 kids. His program is one of the best investments you can make in yourself.
