"I have been working with the NWPT team going on 2 years and as a result, I completed 2 triathlons that first summer of 2023, and this past summer of 2024, I completed 4 more. Now I’m eyeing a half ironman in 2025. "

I started going to Northwest Personal Training in the winter of 2023; seeking help in training to complete my first triathlon. I had been swimming with a masters group in Camas WA for 6 years and had grown tired of the monotony of swimming laps in a pool and was seeking another challenge that would test my fitness in new ways.

Bob Hoffman at NWPT was assigned to work with me. Initially he put me through a series of strength training exercises that exposed my physical weaknesses, but over time the training regimen has caused me to increase my mobility, stamina, and endurance. However, more than anything Bob helped me develop the mindset that I could achieve something that seemed daunting and out of reach. I have been working with the NWPT team going on 2 years and as a result, I completed 2 triathlons that first summer of 2023, and this past summer of 2024, I completed 4 more. Now I’m eyeing a half ironman in 2025.

The staff at NWPT helps their clients not only train their bodies to become stronger, but also develop the confidence to work toward increasingly challenging fitness goals.
