Beast Testimonials
When I “retired” at 55 years old, 100 pounds overweight and over stressed, I found Roger Pries. He safely and skillfully gave me back my life! I got my strength and stamina back, I lost the 100 pounds and I felt great!! I took a break from working out with Roger because of the expense. I gained 70 pounds back!! I decided I needed the motivation I get from Roger so I went back to him. And, again, I lost the 70 pounds and just kept getting stronger! I do not like to exercise but Roger makes it fun! I am 65 now. I have kept my weight off. I am still working out with Roger and I LOVE how good I feel after each workout!! It is the best thing I do for myself!! It is worth every penny!!
Thank you Roger!!

"While on vacation a few months ago I noticed a quotation – “Stronger today than yesterday” - on the wall of a building, and it immediately reminded me of how I feel after my workouts with Roger Pries. I always feel stronger – physically, mentally, and emotionally – after a session with Roger at Beast Fitness, because Roger has designed a challenging and personalized workout for me to reach my fitness goals. Workouts with Roger are never dull! In a supportive, affirming, and fun environment, Roger carefully guides his clients through each and every workout. He is committed to using diverse training methods, giving clear instructions, modeling every exercise, and providing a safe and well-maintained gym space. Roger’s commitment to his clients’ success is unparalleled! Thank you, Roger, for encouraging me to be stronger every day!"

"I had been attending a bootcamp format fitness center for about three years. I had gotten a shoulder impingement more than a year ago that was unbelievably painful. I was having sleepless nights because the pain was so strong. Knitting was something I totally enjoyed doing but now I couldn't do it more than a few minutes without my arm being in so much pain. I saw my doctor, a chiropractor, and a massage therapist and got little relief. I had talked to my coaches at the bootcamp, and they had suggested I modify my workouts. I was totally disheartened to realize that I had lost mobility that I would probably never recover.
I saw Beast Fitness in the shopping center where I normally buy my groceries, and decided to check it out. I walked in and chatted with three of Roger's clients and they could not say enough nice about him. I looked him up online and saw his rave reviews.
When I went to see him, I asked him what his primary outlook for his clients were, and he said it was all about mobility and range of motion. I was impressed by that, and my husband and I decided to try him.
Well! We've been going to him for two months, and he's been working on my shoulder muscles and my mobility. He suggested I try knitting for a few minutes and see how the pain was. It was ... GONE!!! I knitted for an hour and a half with only minor soreness, probably because I hadn't knitted in more than a year!!
Besides my amazingly better shoulder, he works on my cardio and my strength, making sure that I have good form, and I'm using the right muscles to do things. It's not about losing so many pounds in so many days, it's about being a better, flexible, more mobile me. And I can feel it.
Are you are looking for a personal trainer who studies your mobility, someone who helps you have better range of motion, be stronger, and teaches you how to use your body *correctly*? Look no further - it's Roger Pries." - Rita Claar

I have been training with Roger for over seven years. I came to him because I was having lower back pain from a desk job and a long commute. I was spending to much time sitting, not enough time moving. The back pain has been gone for many years and I'm now stronger and more flexible, I have consistently trained with Roger through two pregnancies. His knowledge in movement and customization has led me to be able to exercise up to the day before I had each of my babies! Roger's enthusiastic personality and passion make exercise fun! He believes in you and will push you to try new things. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Despite my initial hesitation (dread?) to start working out after a LONG hiatus, I have now been training with Roger for 9 years and have followed him on his professional journey from a large, corporate gym setting to various outdoor venues just to "mix it up," and now at his own gym: "Beast Fitness." While the name may sound intimidating, Roger keeps his workouts fun and light... customized to Be a good Fit for anyone! He is very professional, has a huge heart, and never makes you feel inadequate or incapable.
I have worked out with other trainers in the past, so am speaking from experience (and trial-&-error). I have signed up for many gym memberships and quit because I end up not using them. What I love about Roger's style is his flexibility and willingness to accommodate all body types, fitness levels, ages and schedules. He is attentive to injuries I have had over the years and is truly passionate about what he does. It shows in every session, year after year.
Even though I choose to work out in a group setting (there are individual options as well), Roger has an uncanny ability to make you feel like you're the only one, while simultaneously managing the needs/skill levels of everyone! It is a gift not many trainers have. Even on my worst days, I leave not only feeling physically "lifted," but inspired to work harder in other areas of my life. I am so grateful he now has his own space to accommodate even more folks, workout routines and equipment. There is never a boring day with Roger, and, most days, I forget I am even working out...For me, that says it all:)

I am 52 years old. The diligent work and coaching of Roger I am stronger now than when I was 22! When I started with Roger I couldn't hold a PVC pipe over my head or row more than 100 meters. I can now deadlift 200 pounds and I've participated in a Spartan Stadium Sprint. Thanks to Roger I am truly getting more fit with age!
