I can't recommend Rock more highly. He's ridiculously knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology and I have high confidence that he's not going to lead me into potentially unsafe places. Rock meets me where I am and offers challenges with genuine care. His gym is clean and private, and one of the only truly welcoming gym environments I've ever experienced.

I’ve been going to Rock for structural integration sessions related to chronic neck pain. After the very first session I saw unbelievable results. My right shoulder which was drooping from years of bad posture was realigned and my neck feels much better. Rock has an in depth understanding of the human body and a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Mavericks Fitness if you want to get in better shape.

I’ve been receiving fascial treatment from Rock, and I can confidently say it has been a transformative experience. Rock’s deep understanding of the fascial system, honed through his studies with renowned expert Tom Myers, is truly evident in his work. His ability to pinpoint areas of tension and address them with precision and care has not only improved my physical well-being but also given me a greater appreciation for how interconnected the body truly is.

Rock’s expertise, combined with his thoughtful and professional approach, makes each session both effective and enlightening. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a skilled practitioner with a profound understanding of the body and its fascial system.

Rock is one of a kind: an OUTSTANDING personal trainer who meets you where you are, but challenges you; a damn fine comedian; a coach; an expert in fitness, nutrition, the human body, and has many well-earned credentials to back it up. When I started seeing him in Feb 2024 I hadn’t exercised in 2 years! He got me up to speed gently but quickly. He also pushed me to get active and moving outside of the PT routine - ie, walking. In just this short amount of time I have lost 15.5 pounds, gained muscle mass, and feel better and more energized than ever. Look no further. You have found him.

As a 75-year-old performance artist committed to remaining relevant, I've had the opportunity to perform in various cities across the globe, including Milan, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. The performative work I do requires strength and agility, which is why I turned to Rock at Maverick Fitness for guidance. Rock's passion for health and fitness is unparalleled, and his knowledge of bio mechanics drives him to push his clients to achieve stronger results.

Before working with Rock, I used to wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and accept that I would be less capable than I was the day before. However, since I began training with Rock, I wake up with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. His "do no harm approach" and talent in Structural Integration empower me to unlock and open areas in my body that have been holding onto decades of tension, stress, and injuries.

Through 12 Structural Integration sessions with Rock, I've experienced newfound freedom in my movements, allowing me to move through my day with a youthful gait and build my confidence. I've come to understand that investing time and attention in my physical well-being is critical to extending the quality of my life and remaining relevant in the world. I refuse to be defined by my limits; instead, I embrace my best possibilities.

My experience with Rock has been an amazing transformation for me. He really takes the time to make your workouts challenging but not exhausting. I have worked out in various ways over the years and this has been the most comprehensive style of workout yet. Rock has more certifications than anyone I have met and knows the body from skeleton out. I proudly say I have never been injured in this past year from the sessions we have had and love the different forms he introduces to getting the body moving. I highly recommend Rock!!!!

Rock is the best ! I have been seeing Rock for almost a year now and I don't plan on stopping any time soon !

All of my workouts and the advice he gives are tailored to me and my goals. I used to dread going to the gym and now I definitely don't. He does make it challenging, because that's the point, but it's not like your normal gym where they are trying to kill you to get results immediately.

Couldn't recommend him more to anyone in the area looking to get some help training.

After having my fitness fall off a cliff during the pandemic, I started with Rock about three months ago. I was looking for an instructor who was focused on functional movement for longevity and not shame or vanity-based. I got lucky stumbling upon Rock as this is exactly his philosophy. Even with the limited number of training sessions I’ve had, I’ve seen extremely quick improvements in muscle mass and overall fitness. His approach has very quickly gotten me back to practicing healthier habits outside of our sessions. Loving the clean, private gym which makes the space feel safe and the investment in top-of-the-line equipment.
