"I was lucky to have such a motivational fitness coach during my years at Aquinas. Coach Deakin’s training days of cardio and plyometrics pushed our bodies to new levels. His knowledge and passion during our fitness training elevated our team to peak performance."
Matt Jackson
"Tony is knowledgable and personable, and takes time to get to know you and and what your goals are to create an exercise plan for you to be successful. I can always count on Tony to make each session challenging and fun. "
"After having my 2nd baby and getting back into the gym, my normal workout routine just wasn’t cutting it. I needed more guidance and training to help me lose that last bit of baby weight. I started to take some of Tony’s classes and he pushed me outside my comfort zone to increase my endurance and strength. I was able the lose that weight pretty quickly with the help of Tony. Tony has a personality that is contagious and instantly puts you in a good mood. His style of training is making every workout different and challenging. Tony is passionate about what he does, is well rounded with his fitness knowledge, and is such a fun person to be around. I would highly recommend him!"

Addie Ouellette
"As a person with some physical limitations, it was easy to come up with excuses not to work out. After more than 10 years away from any kind of regular workout, I returned to the gym! I started a workout of a little cardio and some weights, but it just didn’t seem to be doing the job. Someone suggested taking some classes with Tony, this was one of the best choices I made. I found my workouts were much more effective. I was getting a full-body workout, and he would change it up from time to time so it was never boring! Tony is great at figuring out how far he can push you and, most importantly to me, adapting different exercises for my needs! Tony’s enthusiasm and drive are infectious. He will bring out the best in those he works with! I truly appreciate what I gained from working with Tony, I would strongly recommend him to anyone."
Mark Diekema
"Tony is a miracle worker when it comes to personal training! I trained with him to prepare for my wedding, and I loved the results! He prepared each session trailered to my areas of focus and had modifications if needed. Tony was motivating but also pushed me to do just one more rep! Aside from the sessions, he would prepare at home workouts and would send encouraging reminders to get the work done. I would recommend his sessions to anyone who is looking for results!"
​Alli Copeland
"I have taken fitness classes with Tony for years and have always loved his energy, positive attitude and ability to push me harder than I thought I could. Every class with Tony is different which keeps it fun and exciting. Over the years I had put on some unwanted weight and finally decided last year I needed to make a change. I decided to start personal training with Tony and with the help of his training sessions, kickboxing classes, and his accountability, I was able to lose 20 pounds in just 8 weeks. At the end of those 8 weeks, I was the healthiest and strongest I had been in years. It's easy to see that Tony truly finds joy in helping others succeed and achieve their goals!"

"Through my experience of working with Tony, I learned about my capabilities. He taught me how to take ownership over my workouts and my effort. He provided me with the knowledge and accountability as a coach, but left it up to me to put in the work during your workouts. He’s the type of trainer that can do what he’s asking of you- and he smiles while doing it! If you want to learn the joys of hard work, sweat, and how to take control of your fitness and self-confidence, Tony is my number one choice!"
