Who we are
The Story Behind Train Like Rob
My journey started in 1999, when I transformed my own health by losing 80lbs. That wasn't just a physical change, it reshaped how I thought about my body, my discipline, and what was possible. The experience left me with a genuine passion for fitness, not as an aesthetic pursuit, but as a way of reclaiming energy, confidence, and control over my own life. That's the same thing I want for every client who walks through the door.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with top gyms and industry experts, testing and refining my approach against real results, not just theory. I trained under people who pushed me to think differently about movement, recovery, and long term progress, and I carried those lessons forward as I built my own coaching philosophy, one grounded in functional strength, smart programming, and injury prevention as much as performance.
That journey led me to found Train Like Rob, a brand built on the mission of helping people move better, train smarter, and build strength for life. As a Certified Personal Trainer and strength coach based in Vancouver, BC, I work with people at every stage, from those just starting out to seasoned athletes, because the principles don't change: sustainable results come from programming that respects your body, not one that just runs you into the ground.
Today, Train Like Rob is the product of everything that 1999 transformation set in motion: a coaching approach built on real experience, not shortcuts, and a commitment to helping clients build strength that lasts well beyond the gym
