It took only one session for Rob Lankard of Encore Fitness to change my life. Somehow Rob makes the impossible seem doable, and he instantly got rid of any anxiety I had about working out. And now I'm hooked! The work I've done at Encore Fitness has also enhanced everything I do outside of it. There's just such a positive vibe at Encore that I now honestly look forward to going to the gym -- which is something I never thought I would say. The variety of exercises, the different workouts, the mood in the place, it's...fun! I couldn't recommend this place more.

Damian was recommended to me by a friend and I have been training with him for over a year now. I have nothing but positive things to say about him and his studio.First the studio; it is incredibly clean and well kempt. It is outfitted with a ton of equipment, anything you could possibly need during a workout, and he makes use of all of it in creative ways. It is a great environment and I always feel comfortable and welcomed when I am there.Now onto the workouts; Damien is incredibly creative with his workouts, and you will never do the same routine twice. He plans them out prior to your arrival, based on you needs and desires. He has a unique ability to read when to push you and when to take it easy. That said he will always ensure he is pushing you forward. Waking up early is now something I look forward to knowing I will be working out with Damien. He closely monitors your form to ensure you are doing everything correctly. In addition, he knows such a wide variety of workout styles; from TRX, interval, crossfit/Olympic lifts, med ball, kettle bell, etc..Finally, I will talk about Damien himself. He is the man. Always there to support you, to push you, and to ensure you feel comfortable. Damien has to listen to my life story every time I see him, and is always interested in conversing between exercises. I consider Damien a friend and cannot recommend someone more. Get up and go! I promise you will not be disappointed; he will change your life.

Been working with Damien, Encore owner, for over 2 years. He has help me transform my body and helped me develop a healthy lifestyle, and made it an enjoyable process while doing so. I have worked with many trainers over the years and Damien is by far the best; all of my friends and family now use Encore and I'm happy to call him a good friend. If you're reading this post, you're already wasting time; I recommend signing up for your sessions now!

Amazing personal trainers! After only 5 months, have already seen so much improvement in my body while getting an education about eating healthy, and how to work out effectively on my own. The studio is a very easy-going and non-judgmental environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a push to reach your fitness goals, you will absolutely reach them here!

I really can't say enough good things about D and Rob at Encore! The space is beautiful and they are amazing and truly knowledgable.I've been training with Damien for 2+ years and trust him completely - he has a great background in anatomy and physiology. I feel like he is my cheerleader AND a drill sergeant and I ALWAYS feel like I've kicked ass when I'm done.This is not machines- this is body-weight strength training, TRX, kettle bells, slam balls, plyometrics...interval training to make you sweat and get you sexy!I have to say, as physical therapist I know that this is the best way to get strong and burn calories while also being able to tailor to your personal strengths and weaknesses safely. They will work with your injuries, your fitness level and your goals.Add to all of this that they are both incredibly accommodating with scheduling and totally reasonably priced? You'd be crazy to let anyone else try to whip your booty into shape.

I have been training with Rob since January 2012 and to say, "He changed my life," would be a serious understatement. He's helped me become confident in approaching fitness and achieve fitness goals that I personally thought I'd never even come close to. I think it's because he and Damien are both high-tech and high-touch. Their comfortable studio is filled with clean, new and effective equipment and their approach to client care is incomparable. I literally get a text from Rob at least every other day to see how I'm doing and what I'm doing to get closer to my goals. Rob and Damien know what they are doing and are also provide some of the kindest and most caring services I've ever had the pleasure of receiving. If you're looking for quality personal training that's fun and effective, this is the place to be. Trust me.

These guys rock! I've been training with Rob Lankard for a while now and I've lost 30lbs of fat and gained 10lbs of muscle. I'm healthier, stronger, and have way more endurance. But most importantly, it was Rob's encouragement and personal touches that pushed me to reach my goals. If you are tired of training at a busy gym, or just want to see results now, check Damien and Rob out!

No joke, if you want to get inspired and want to improve your fitness level, reshape/tone/strengthen your body, and have fun while you're at it, then Damien and Rob at Encore Fitness will be your personal training Gurus. I enthusiastically recommend them.I've been training with Damien for about a year and he has really helped me get back on my game. He's extremely knowledgeable, attentive and patient, and has a keen sense of intuition that allows him to sense when he's pushed you to the optimal level. He has both helped me learn about having proper form (which I mistakenly thought I already had but have since realized I did not), and has challenged and pushed me to do things I never thought I could physically do. I can both see and feel the results. Importantly, he actually makes working out enjoyable (even when I'm dripping sweat) and inspires me to try to make good decisions on a daily basis so I can achieve maximum results. Bottom line is... training with Damien is a great decision and I believe it has the power to push you into a better place both physically and mentally. Go for it!
