Kind words
"Tremendous thank you to Rob Goodwin and his staff at Original Workout. Without his training and nutrition concepts I would not have been able to excel in my running as I have done this year. Shattered my goal time for Charity Chase yesterday by five minutes. And the best part is....I'm only getting faster!! Thanks Rob!!"
"Just wanted to give a shout out to my trainer Rob Goodwin. He continues to be an inspiration to me, (as I am sure he is to ALL of his clients ) in not only achieving my goals, but maintaining a high level of fitness. I appreciate and respect a trainer who "practices what he preaches" as it relates to healthy nutrition and physical exercise. In Rob's latest endeavor, prepping for a bodybuilding competition, he showed complete focus and dedication in his training and the results were phenomenal! That is the type of TRAINER I want COACHING me! That is the type of INDIVIDUAL who will INSPIRE me!"

“Rob feedback time: I am rapt in your coaching model. It so works for me. The exercises you plan & give me feel specifically tailored to me as an individual. They are challenging and you pique my interest with the amazing variety. In response I push myself. In front of my eyes I am watching tangible progress & it is exciting. You are responsive and make me feel like I am your only client. You make a real difference.”-Tracy M, online client. Australia
Rob Goodwin is a fitness miracle worker. How he made me a couch potato of 20 years actually enjoy getting my butt kicked is a miracle! But he's the best trainer in the world and he has a huge heart! -Daniel Toner
Through Rob's encouragement and workouts I've discovered strength I didn't know I had!! He is truly Hickory's Best Trainer!!!

This gym is for people who take training seriously! Hint the fact that it's a personal gym where people PAY for personal trainers! No...... they don't give out pizza and muffins to their members!!!!! They give great knowledge about the body, workouts and any information to better yourself! I trust everyone who works there and would refer any of my close friends or family! Keep up the good honest work!!!! -Jeff Rollins
"I started working with Rob 2 years ago. I was overweight, unfit, and unhealthy. I felt bad about myself and what I had become. For Pete's sake, I was once a Division I athlete and a professional basketball player in Germany; but I let myself go after 3 children. So, I started working with Rob and it was tough. He never let me slack and complaining fell on deaf's ear. He had a plan for me; and he was not going to let me deviate. I am now 40 pounds lighter and competing in triathlons (something I would never have dreamed of doing). I am fit again and have a whole new perspective on fitness and nutrition! Rob was vital in my transformation. I will be forever grateful!"

"When I reached 62 I decided that I wanted to be healthier when I reached 72. Working out with a professional trainer seemed like a great way to get started. Rob has helped me get in shape and make it become an obsession. Did I mention that he also helped me quit smoking and has also made great suggestions for improving my diet? Rob is a pro and his facility is well equipped, private and CLEAN! I truly hope that Rob will work with me for another 50+ years." -Gary, Client
I wanted to give you an update/success story. After suffering a stroke 5 years ago and having to have a heart operation to correct an issue, I had been on the statin cholesterol lowering carousel & trying to get back into some sort of shape & condition with limited results. Since your nutrition seminar that my wife & I both attended, I have shed 40 pounds, gotten off the statin drugs, & have been taken out by my wife to find some pants/shorts that fit. I have not been in a pant with a 30 waist in over 15 years but, I am there today. My wife has also had very good results. With the nutrition information, instruction & encouragement from your staff during TRX classes, Boot Camp, & even the Warrior Challenge I am in the best shape I have been in since my stroke. I am quickly closing in on my 46th birthday and I just rode the fastest 100K bike ride that I have ever ridden in my life.
I appreciate all of the help & support from you and your staff answering questions, & giving guidance in helping me get to this point.
Thanks again,
Jeffrey Deitz
