As someone who had not worked out in 20 years because of injuries and laziness, Derrick has been a godsend! I started working with him in Jan 2024 and the transformation I’ve watched my body go through, it’s been a 10/10 experience. Derrick has worked and formed muscles I forgot I was supposed to have while working around my bad knees and other injuries!

Aside from being a great trainer, he’s been great working around my crazy schedule. We have a set day/time schedule but it often gets moved due to my job (which I’m sure isn’t fun for him) and he has never complained once and is able to accommodate.

If you are someone looking to get back in the gym but are out of shape and scared to work with a trainer, I highly recommend MSS Fitness.

I've been hearing *great* things about Derrick's work for a long time through friends. So I was actually a little intimidated approaching him as a client, and I waited until I'd been training for over a year to finally get in touch. After working with him, my only regret is that I didn't seek out his services much sooner. He showed more interest in my goals and the challenges I've faced than any doctor has ever shown me. For that matter, I *had* been struggling with some pain before my work with Derrick. He was such a good listener—with such a wealth of expertise to bring to our interactions—that he provided me with multiple pieces of effective guidance . . . pretty much immediately. I started up a few new exercises and redirected a few others based on his input; my pain is already subsiding. On top of his technical/physical/kinetic accuracy, Derrick's communication skills are *not* to be faulted. There's been *no* condescension and *all* support instead. The guy is a clear, collaborative coach, and he's taken a highly custom approach to steering my exercise. This has been one of the most productive experiences with a working professional I've had in a very long time. Go MSS.

My husband and I have been working with Derrick for about 3 months and we would recommend highly!

He starts you out with an initial visit where he evaluates your strength and mobility, then created workouts that pinpoint all your weak spots while supporting your overall health. It’s been exactly what I wanted - someone to teach me new things, push me to work harder than I would ever by myself, and also be very attentive to the nuance of form. I’ve learned so much.

Not only is he qualified with the hard skills of his job but is also kind, adaptable, and funny. He is also just a pleasant person to be around. Also his prices are WAY reasonable!

All this to say again that I highly recommend Derrick for personal training services. If you’re looking to begin a personal training journey and are on the fence, just try it!! It’s been a great experience. THANKS Derrick!!

I came to Derrick with an IT band issue that impeded my ability to walk without pain. Orthopedic nor physical therapy provided long term relief. At the end of one year, my quads were stabilized to keep my knee cap in place with Derrick's work outs. My ability to walk pain free is good as ever! Added benefits are increased strength, agility and well being. I am 73 years old and have experienced numerous work out regimens in past programs. Derrick is the best! His services are an investment in my health and long term well being!

Derrick is an amazing trainer AND an amazing person! I've been training with him twice a week for two years, increasing my upper body strength substantially ( which is one goal), as well as improving my balance and flexibility. I had a serious hamstring(both)injury that he was able to assess, plan specific exercises around and aid in the healing and strengthening. I would definitely recommend Derrick to anyone of any age whether for strength training, weight loss or general overall health and healing. He also gives great advice on nutrition and hydration!

Derrick at MSS Fitness has been my trainer for many years. Just this year, he started training my husband as well, and got us both in tip top shape for our wedding. He is so supportive and knowledgeable of all things fitness and nutrition, and is also knowledgeable in women's fitness and health. This is a huge bonus especially since women's workouts need to be tailored differently based on their hormones etc. Derrick is patient and supportive, and his facility is always clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a personal trainer in the new year, he's your guy!

I started working with Derrick more than a year ago and I have had amazing results. But more importantly I have developed strong sense of discipline and drive to reach my goals all thanks to Derrick. He helped me keep my motivation up by ensuring that I do not get injured and always use correct form. If you are looking for a personal trainer, then Derrick is your guy.

I've been going here on and off for about a year now. I've always struggled with motivation to work out but Derrick is fantastic about making sure I stay motivated. Even throughout COVID he made at home work outs and kept me motivated to stay in shape! Great guy and great place to get in shape in a judgement free and supportive facility.

Whenever I tell anyone that I am lifting weights now they always say, "Be careful! You could really hurt yourself!" I feel like I could not be in better hands. I know Derrick will always make sure I am using correct form and not doing anything that will cause me to injure myself. He literally has my back. I love going to the studio. He has lots of great equipment and I get a well-rounded workout including cardio. Derrick always challenges me but he's no heartless drill instructor. My goals are to be a strong as I can be. With Derrick's help I am well on my way.
