“I had surgery and recovered pain-free but terrified that one bad move in the gym could leave me in another tough spot on stage or with my family. As soon as I was cleared to get back in, the coaches at RTL patiently worked on a plan to progress slowly and steadily, in a way that felt safe but also pushed me. I started out deadlifting a tiny kettlebell off a platform. Block after block, things evolved, I felt stronger and pulled a little more each time.” -Ravi

“Fast forward to 2019, when I walked past a room of extremely strong people who were laughing and lifting heavy barbells. My heart instantly connected with the energy in the room that day, and for the first time in years, I felt hope that it was okay for me to be strong, too. Through Resilient Training Lab’s evidence-based programming, coaching, and support, I am about to compete in my first powerlifting meet, a goal he never diminished because of my size.” -Emily A.

“They have provided me with valuable insight throughout our time together. Probably one of the best aspects of our coach/client relationship are the conversations. Of course, there are times when we do not agree and that is the beauty of his coaching. The coaches welcome “talking shop” and open to ideas. They have always been approachable to not only their clients but to anyone who reaches out.” -Kevin E.
“I knew wanted to get into weight training when I saw the energy in the room at Resilient Training Lab…with a very structured and formulated approach, I have worked squats and deadlifts into my program and my body is all the better for it.” - Shari

“Just not strong enough… Yeah right. I guess you hear it enough you start to believe it. Well I met the right person who DIDN’T believe it. The first time being introduced to the coaches at Resilient Training Lab the one thing they really wanted to hear was what were my goals and how together we could accomplish them. In their mind there is nothing you can’t do.” - Shani
“I was lifting until the day before I went into the hospital to have my daughter. Lifting throughout my pregnancy no doubt made labor and recovery much easier. I knew I could do it because of the strength I had gained in the gym, both mentally and physically.” - Christina

“I started coming to Resilient Training Lab in December and it’s been a confidence builder, changed my appearance, strength and outlook. I’ve lifted before but never strength training. The trainers are attentive and personal and make subtle corrections without overwhelming you. -Chris E.
“As a single mother, I need to be strong mentally, physically, and emotionally…My personal programs have taught me that small incremental changes along with persistence and determination transform me.” -Amy
“Fast forward, two years since my rotator cuff surgery, and I can say without doubt or hesitation that I am stronger than I have ever been. I see it, and I feel it in everything that I do. The Resilient team always check in and ask what I want to work on and where I want to focus my next goals. They stand by me with patience and encouragement. I would not have had the courage to learn these lifts and execute them without the coaching at RTL.” -Carissa
“Growing up I was not an athlete, but in 2017 I competed in my first powerlifting competition; now I am now preparing to do my 5th in September 2019. I never imagined when I first starting training at Resilient Training Lab that I would be saying out loud that one of my goals is to deadlift 400lbs.” -Kelsey
“All of my close friends, family, and gym family enabled me to put one foot in front of the other- my kettlebell sistas, coaches, and my Resilient Training Lab crew. But most of all I had Paul who kept me focused, motivated and helped me forget for a while 3-4x per week. He challenged and inspired me to participate in a powerlifting competition, and boy, I sure did!” -Angella
:The coaches were able to manage my high levels of external stress and provided a program that fit my limited schedule while I finished grad school. During this time they were very receptive to my feedback and we were able to continually improve my work capacity, mobility, and resilience. Focusing on these qualities set the groundwork for long term success on the platform. I am currently the strongest and healthiest I have been during my entire life. “ -Dillon A
“Because of Paul and the Resilient team’s coaching and approach to fitness, I've finally figured out I'm not training to lose weight. He's instilled a desire to be strong and healthy, not just skinny and pretty, and I'm the healthiest I've ever been thanks to him.” -Liz
“I started training with Paul in January 2017 and since then I have found physical and mental strength that I never knew I had.” -Michelle
“You can be a strong, mobile, AND aerobically fit athlete at the same time, and do not have to sacrifice one goal for the other. My success, as well as many of his other clients’ success, is a living testament to that.” -Carlos

“I found a new passion. I was now exclusively doing strength training with the Resilient team coaching me. With each training block, I was getting stronger and stronger.” -Maria
“With the personal training program written for me, and with the Resilient team’s encouragement, I competed in my first powerlifting meet AT 55!. Who does that? It was incredible and scary and addicting. I learned that you can be brave at any age. I also have found an incredible group of women to work out with that I cannot imagine living without.” -Marion
“The Resilient Training Lab staff is simply amazing. An individualized program combined with knowledgeable and supportive trainers is invaluable in the gym world. “ -Landa V
“Paul literally taught me everything about the sport of powerlifting and, since then, I have competed as a powerlifter twice and am about to compete again. What began as a suspicion that I was strong has grown into one of the things I am the most confident about.” -Tina
“I trust the Resilient team implicitly with my programming and training. They have kept me injury-free, and progressing in my strength for almost 4 years. Equally as important, the coaches have modeled and taught me how to have a more positive, healthy mindset around lifting, around pain, around nutrition, and around failure. While strength is critical to my health and well being, the lessons I have learned, and habits RTL have instilled in me are invaluable.” - Christine
“Since training with the Resilient team, I have completed over 100 races including the NYC Marathon and Seawheeze Half Marathon.” - Tricia
