I want to express my appreciation to you for opening my eyes with your knowledge and application for an immediate impact on my training program. I was in need of some specific areas of flexibility and muscle growth to help with basic day to day functionality and pain management. The program you dialed up for me provided immediate results and has helped tremendously in my sport and day to day life. Thank you for your being at the right place and right time and looking forward to continued results.

Following a hernia operation this spring, I asked Tyson to work with me to rebuild my core strength. Since then he has taken me through a set of strength and balance exercises that have been very helpful to me in rebuilding my core. He varies the routines during each of our sessions. And he works me until I am thoroughly exhausted at the end of each session — something I wouldn’t do if I were working on my own. In recent weeks Tyson has been adding weight to increase my overall strength and capacity. I am surprised at my age how much improvement I have made in four months. And I am excited to see how much I can continue to improve.

Tyson is smart, friendly, innovative, nonjudgmental and professional.  He is the perfect trainer for me.  Each week he asks me how I am doing physically and tailors the workout for how my body is doing that day.  He studies anatomy and exercise techniques extensively and can always suggest new ways to achieve positive results.  I look forward to my sessions with him because I know there will always be something new to learn and try out.  In addition, he has a great personality and even though I am working hard, the time passes quickly.

Tyson is an intuitive and effective trainer. He always knows when to push me for heavier weights or more reps, and when it is time to stop or pull back. He effectively communicates proper form with the simplest of explanations for better technique. He cares about his clients and wants to work with you to achieve your goals.

I am 69 years old and have two artificial hips and anarthritic shoulder. I thought last winter that I might try to play golf againif I could loosen up my hips, back and shoulders. Tyson and I discussed mygoals and he told me about a class that he was teaching focusing on functionalstrength and mobility. I decided to join and have now attended four differentsessions of classes. Tyson assessed our level of fitness and physicallimitations and designed workouts that focused on improving those fitness andstrength levels. If the first exercise was one that I could not do, he wouldhave a second or third option available to address the same muscle group orbody part. The workouts were hard but not unbearable. I was amazed and pleasedby how hard I was able to push myself without hurting myself. In just a fewweeks I noticed significant improvement in the range of motion I had in myhips, back and shoulders. I look forward to continuing to take classes withTyson and would highly recommend his classes to anyone who seeks to improvetheir strength and mobility in a serious but not punishing manner.

I retired at the beginning of this year after 30 years of projects, consulting and managing teams in computer mapping and Geographic Information Systems.  On top of my bucket list was to get back in shape to enjoy a summer of hiking and biking but ended up rupturing my achilles tendon in April playing racquetball.  I had my achilles tendon surgically repaired at the beginning of May and faced up to 12 weeks of recovery starting with absolutely no weight on that foot.  Before the injury I had lost 15 pounds due to daily workouts that included running, elliptical and cycling and knew I needed help to create regular aerobic workouts during my recovery.   Tyson started our sessions by listening to this story, my needs and limitations, and assured me that we could build a series of workouts without having to put any weight on my recovering leg.  We started with free weights and a couple machines, building sets that challenged me to use repetition of upper body exercises to get my heart rate up rather than my legs.  Tyson provided exactly what I needed to stay in shape while staying off my injured leg.  He helped me build multiple routines, explained to me strategies to both build strength and get my heart rate up.  It’s been great to have a personal trainer who listens, is creative, easy to work with yet always there to challenge and help my grow.  Thanks Tyson!

I was new to the whole fitness scene when I joined (Previous Gym).  My experience with Tyson began when he observed a friend and I puzzling over some of the equipment and said, "Hey, would you like some help with that?"  We sure did! He pointed out a few things to try, given our physical challenges and then suggested a 6-week introductory program for us. I followed up with another 6-week program. I'm a 60 years old female, with a few aches and pains.  I'm not concerned about heart health or weight--I just want to strengthen my body and correct some old inefficient tendencies that create ongoing problems.  I want to be able to hike, garden, and just enjoy movement the way my body was intended to move.  

Tyson was fantastic at hearing what I said about my goals, what challenges my body has experienced in the past, and how to use the equipment safely so as not to exacerbate old injuries.  I appreciated his knowledge of human anatomy, and his explanations about how the whole body structure works were right-sized so that I could apply them to the work with the machines and on the mat. Tyson was always willing to suggest a different machine or activity if something wasn't right for my particular situation. He was supportive and encouraging without being overwhelming or pushy. He would often stop by when he saw me at the gym to see how things were going and ask if I needed any help.   My experience with beginning a work-out program was great because of Tyson, and it resulted in a routine that can be sustainable.  I am looking forward to working with him in the future as I create new goals for myself.

I became a client of Tyson’s in the summer of 2018. I joined a small group exercise class at my gym and Tyson was the trainer. I have been training for along time but had never done a group class. I loved it! Even though he was a young, new trainer, I felt like he was knowledgeable and really cared about each person in the class. I have some physical limitations and he was able to work with me so that I got what I needed from the class. Eventually, I started to train with him one-on-one and felt like I was making progress that I could not have made on my own. He has excellent technical knowledge and understands how the body works—this is important in a trainer.

In addition to being a great trainer, Tyson is a wonderful, genuine person. I developed a friendship with him outside the gym which continues today even though he has moved out of the area. I really miss having him as a trainer because he was my favorite.

I went to Tyson as a weightlifting novice recovering from a stomach surgery. During our first meeting, he listened to my story, and quickly came up with an outline for our training. We worked together for the next 24 months, and at every step of the way, he would check in to see if my needs and goals were being met. I continued to hit PR after PR under his coaching. 

Tyson is also a very knowledgeable trainer who rapidly adapts to the clients needs. Some sessions, I just didn't have it in me (how many split squats can a person do?), and he would instantly provide me with alternative exercises. Additionally, he helped expand my exercise routine. I had never deadlifted before, and he was able to efficiently teach me the intricate technique while never making me feel foolish. Lastly, Tyson was a very easy person to work with. I always looked forward to our training sessions, and they were never dull and seemed to breeze by.

My Husband and I had the opportunity to work with Tyson for personal training from January 2020 until June 2021. Tyson took the time to listen to our goals and needs in reference to our abilities at our age of 60. He possesses
broad-based knowledge, not only of training techniques, but how the body reacts when injured or fatigued. He reinforced the importance of maintaining muscle strength and regular stretching as key to aging gracefully to stay active and healthy. An investment in his expertise has been so worthwhile. We highly recommend Tyson Winder as a personal trainer, coach and instructor!!

Tyson is unlike any personal trainer I've ever worked with. His detailed knowledge of the physiology behind each exercise is way beyond other trainers. When we work on any particular need, he is able to lead me in the best exercises and stretches that are most effective. Most trainers seem to pull from their same routines to try to address clients needs, but Tyson is able to tailor a workout with greater effectiveness. Also, I am 62, and while I want to keep up with younger athletes, Tyson is smart about giving me workouts that keep me from getting hurt. I recommend him with complete confidence.
