TTP Fitness

I've been training with Turk and Ryan for a little over a month now and I can't say enough about how incredible of an experience it's been so far. As a former college athlete, I've gotten to work with countless great trainers and coaches and I can honestly say that they the best of the best. From the very first consultation, it was evident that they knew just what steps to take to help me achieve my goals. The workouts are intense and meticulous, the nutrition planning is personalized and structured, and they are there to coach, support, and motivate you every step of the way. They give you all the tools you need to succeed and, if you are motivated and willing to put in the work, you will see amazing results in your monthly check-ins. TTP has been life changing and I can't wait to continue working with them and see just how far I can take my fitness goals.

My son and I have been working with Ryan Birdsong for about a month at TTP fitness. He has been great! We originally looked at getting a personal trainer at the local gym, but were turned off by how cocky they all were. I felt judged by those trainers and discouraged about getting in shape. Ryan is not judgmental at all. He understands everyone has to start somewhere and works to help you have the confidence needed to reach your goals. I’m thrilled with the results I see and feel after a month! I highly recommend Ryan and TTP fitness.

I've been working with Turk for a few months now and he is absolutely amazing. The change I've seen in myself physically and mentally in such a short period of time is more than I was expecting. Although in the beginning the movements seem difficult, I always feel motivated and accomplished when I am done working out. Turk makes each workout fun, and the atmosphere they foster promotes motivation, confidence, and self love. He is definitely one of the best trainers I've worked with. I highly recommend everyone try a session, you will not regret it at all.

Bottom Line:I highly recommend Turk. He knows fitness, and if you listen to him, follow his lead and give him everything you have on training days, you will see results. His workouts have kicked my ass, but the results are worth it.Details:My family and I spend the summers in Portland, Oregon to escape the heat of our Dallas, TX residence. One thing we love about OR is all the outdoor activities and that it is the perfect place to stay in shape, or in our instance get in better shape.Over the last five years I put on more weight than I would like. My polo shirts moved from size L to XL and my pants grew from a comfortable 34 to a very snug 38.One of my main goals this summer was to get in better shape using a trainer. We have used trainers in the past at our more “country club” type gyms in Frisco, TX, but the results were moderate and they always seemed more focused on keeping me “comfortable” so I would be happy rather than truly pushing me to be the best version of myself I could be.I signed my wife and myself up to train with Turk three times per week while we are here over the summer.This has been one of the best decisions we have made.I am currently 3.5 weeks in. I lost 13 pounds of fat and put on 6 pounds of muscle. Turk knows his stuff. He eats, breathes and sleeps fitness as does his team.He watches our diet (even stopped by our house here in PDX to help us dial things in), holds us accountable and truly pushes us to our limit. My main goal was just to get leaner, but he has found that my flexibility sucks (it does) and he has pushed me to work on my flexibility as well.I picked Turk because he has a no nonsense, no sugar coating, you get out what you put in approach to fitness. I don’t want to be pandered to, I want a knowledgeable trainer that will push me, day in and day out to be better. If this is what you want, Turk and his team is your answer.I highly recommend Turk. He knows fitness, and if you listen to him, follow his lead and give him everything you have on training days, you will see results. His workouts have kicked my ass, but the results are worth it.I feel better, stronger and more focused. I also feel more confidant knowing I can go further beyond what my perceived breaking points are.Again under the coaching of Turk, in 3.5 weeks, I have lost 13 pounds of fat and put on 6 pounds of muscle. I had to buy new pants and polo shirts as I now wear a 36 again instead of 38 and a L polo instead of a XL. I am also probably 25% better in my flexibility. I feel so much better!When you are ready to get a real coach that will truly push you to be a better version of yourself and you are ready to dig in deep to make a change in your life, Turk is your man! I am truly thankful for the results he delivered and am looking forward to what lies ahead!

I met Turk about two years ago. I am recovering from two back surgeries and have nerve damage and weakness in my legs and back for over five years. Turk has been amazing and is helping me to regain strength and improve walking. He is a great person to work with and customizes each workout to needs of each client. He has become a valued friend. His knowledge, experience and dedication are obvious and better than all of the physical therapists I have previously worked with, and I am privileged to find him and work with him. He has also helped my daughter to become stronger and to improve her physique. There is none better!Carla R.

I first saw Turk one day after I arrived in the United States while training with my first personal trainer. I remember him with his client taking a moment to walk up to someone on a deadlift machine and telling him “your strongest when your knees are above your feet”. That was the end of our encounter till 2 months ago when I decided that I wanted to do something this year that I have never done before, my first Physique Competition. I wrote to Turk and we met for consultation. He took the time to sit me down and explain macros, kinds of foods, timings of macros, body’s hormonal states and supplementation. The next day we started training and I must say I have never met a trainer who would not only train you but also explain the reason behind everything. He pushes my limits every day with every rep and every set and encourages me to give more. He knows the psyche of his clients and knows how to push their buttons to get the most output from them.Progress: In less than 1 month he successfully dropped my body fat from 15% to 12%. During this month I lost 5lbs of fat and gained 2lbs of muscle. I did my second body fat test yesterday after another month and I currently stand at 9% body fat which is incredible progress. In 60 days I lost 6% body fat (10lbs of fat) and I have grown stronger and look better than I have ever looked in my life.In a nutshell, Turk is a very knowledgeable person and is an inspiration to me. He truly cares and makes your goals his goals. He has attention to detail like I have never seen before. He can look at me and know in seconds that I have cheated a day before. He owns your progress and makes tweaks along the way to ensure you meet your fitness goals. I will continue to train with him till such time that I need to head back to India. I also strongly recommend that you reach out to him and let him help you become a better version of yourself today.Thanks Turk.

I met Turk late August of last year 2015. I was looking for someone to help me build a physique that I've always "dreamed" of. Turk asked me to meet him at Rhino Fit Studio so he could understand what my goal was. I think he was also assessing how motivated I was to achieve what I wanted. I must've passed his criteria as a client because the next thing I knew, he was teaching me the correct form of the exercises I thought I knew since I'd been doing them all these years. It has been almost 8 months since I started training with Turk and all I can say is that he is an EXPERT at what he does. He knows fitness, bodybuilding AND nutrition. He listens to my needs and feedback to tailor a training program that is effective and sustainable. I will be donating my kidney to my spouse in the future and Turk keeps this in the forefront of our training plan. He makes sure that my diet is on point to achieve the results we want yet easy on my kidneys. Turk is an all-in-one: my motivator, trainer, nutritionist and inspiration. As far as my progress goes, I am very pleased and am having fun with the process of preparing for my first women's physique competition. Thanks, Turk!

I would give Turk 10 stars if I could - he is in a league of his own. His knowledge base in all areas related to fitness, proper form, muscles, injuries, nutrition, is immense. He will take the time to listen to your needs, goals and desires and put a realistic 360 degree plan in place to guarantee success if you are committed! I had previously worked with a trainer and hit a plateau for two years that I could not get out of...so it was a stark comparison to Turk's all encompassing approach that pushes you to new levels, motivates you, holds you accountable and last, but not least, is efficient! He immediately makes you feel comfortable and builds great rapport and has the ability to read and adapt to what you need to stay motivated during the workout. I have already seen more results with Turk in the last two months then I did with my previous trainer over the last two years. I feel better than ever and know that this is just the beginning with Turk at my side pushing me along.

Turk is an amazing trainer! This is my first time with a personal trainer so I was pretty nervous going in for my first appointment. He is so friendly and down to earth that I was more than comfortable within minutes of meeting him. I've been training with him for 3 months now. He pushes me harder than I would have ever pushed myself and knows exactly when I have had enough. I have had amazing results so far and have his continued support even after our sessions are over. I think he is amazing as a trainer but also as a friend that knows exactly what to say. A big thank you for all he has done for me.

Working with Turk has been more than what I could have asked for. About 2 months ago I came to Turk with a will and desire to get back in shape in a healthy and sustainable manner. Turk has given me tools for success far beyond what I imagined. He is personable, funny, motivational, encouraging, knowledgeable, and just plain real. He has taught me that I am far stronger than I ever thought and that I can absolutely accomplish and maintain my fitness goals. Turk doesn’t settle for mediocre results; he continually tailors my workouts (both weight and cardio) and nutrition plan based on the results and goals that we are both seeing and setting. In the gym during workouts he has become a friend and a coach, encouraging me to push myself and always acknowledging the effort put forth. Outside of the gym he has become a resource that I can go to anytime I have a nutrition or fitness question. At the end of the day, you know that Turk cares. Cares about you being happy, balanced, getting results, properly training, and absolutely kicking butt. He has shown me that I can and will get to where I want to be, whatever that goal may be. Turk has made working out and living a healthy lifestyle approachable and fun, what more can you ask for!
