Devin was instrumental in my recovery during my junior and senior seasons, helping me overcome injuries that could have sidelined my athletic career. His expertise and unwavering support not only facilitated my physical healing but also bolstered my confidence on the field. Devin’s personalized approach and genuine care made each therapy session both effective and encouraging. Thanks to his dedication, I was able to return stronger and more resilient, shaping me into the player I am today. I am deeply grateful for Devin’s commitment and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy care.

I've been working with Devin for over a year and a half and he's been excellent. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind which all resonate with me because I've worked with some people who believe it is necessary to berate people to get them to go further. I've been impressed by my results. I'm achieving new PRs regularly, and noticeably getting stronger. Additionally, I've offered feedback on what works for me and he's incorporated that into our sessions, which I really appreciate. I'd highly recommend Devin to anyone looking to achieve results.

Great workouts and great company! Devin helped me recover after a neck injury and has since built me a strength training program which fits with my schedule and my goals. I highly recommend working with Devin in person or online!

I’ve been working with Devin now for a couple of years, and definitely recommend! Went from having never lifted weights before to now feeling much more confident on my own at the gym. I wanted to build my strength and mobility for injury prevention and to complement/be sustainable in other activities I do - and it’s working. He helped me prep for a three month bike trip, and had no injuries on the trip much due to the strength and mobility I had gained working with Devin. He’s also great at helping you listen to your body and is thoughtful at adapting workouts when my chronic neck and back issues flare up.

Devin is a delight...and he is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I'm grateful for the work he did with me. I needed PT for a foot problem. He was recommended by a friend. Since I don't like in his area, we were able to do it via Zoom. I noticed immediate improvement in my foot. It was slow going the first few weeks, but then the pain eased up. I've been walking pain free ever since. I highly recommend him!

I’ve worked with Devin to help resolve aches, pains and tweaks. He is thoughtful, thorough and has great bedside manner. His knowledge of the human muscular system is extensive and helpful when trying to get to the root cause of an issue. I definitely recommend Devin for any PT needs.

Devin has been such an amazing resource for me, and is so versatile. He helped me get in shape for my wedding, made me feel confident doing full body hinge / weight lifting exercises, and also has always been able to help me target and resolve problem areas where I have chronic pain. Not to mention he is really a joy to work with and always meets you at your comfort level. Can’t recommend him enough!

I’ve been working with Devin for months now and honestly, after 3 to 4 weeks I started seeing the results. I love how thoughtful he is in designing trainings that fit my needs and goals. I like his friendly style, and how knowledgeable he is about physical training, anatomy, and everything related to personal training.

Devin has helped me tremendously with my fitness level and core strength empowering to me overcome / work though a chronic disc injury. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been and rock climbing better than I ever have. He’s super knowledgeable, supportive, nice, and has taught me a lot of valuable exercises and stretches I’ve added to my regular routine. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Been working with Devin for about 8 to 10 months now and can see the improvements in my mobility and fitness. I hurt my back years ago and he has been attentive to helping me correct issues that may arise from that as well as working towards my goals. Always willing to work with your schedule and needs. He also has an awesome and loving cat that is always a treat to see during sessions.

I have been working with Devin for over a year. He has helped me build strength that has supported healing from an old injury that has caused me a lot of pain for many years. He is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and easy to work with toward your PT goals. He’s provided the accountability I need alongside exploring the complexity of my training needs and I truly couldn’t recommend him enough.
Editing to add that I also worked with him through my first pregnancy and he helped me get strong to support my growing and changing body as I prepared to welcome my baby into the world. He helped me through the aches and pains and went at my pace while being sure to also challenge me.

I worked with Devin in the months leading up to my total knee replacement surgery in order to go into it as strong and prepared as possible and, based on my progress post-surgery, that preparation worked very well. I'll be starting back with Devin soon, to keep getting stronger and more mobile with my new knee ... and other (older) parts. One of Devin's key talents is how perceptive he is -- he listens and observes carefully and responds with knowledge and creativity with modifications or variations to the exercises. When demonstrating movements he is inspiring - not only because of his physical ability, but also because of the joy and artistry in it. And, as a delightful bonus, he's got a great sense of humor that's never far below the surface.

I can’t say enough good things about Devin, his training style, and results! I have been training with him since November 2020, mostly on Zoom. I was 60 years old, in decent shape, when we started. My fitness goals were modest: I wanted to be able to do a pushup well, improve my balance, and keep my body in good shape as I aged. Devin was completely able to meet me where I was, starting slowly with core exercises, done with simple, inexpensive workout equipment.
Little did I know how valuable his flexible teaching style would turn out to be. A few short months after we started, in January 2021, I fell down the stairs inside my house and fractured my pelvis. I had a non-displaced fracture which basically meant there was nothing I could do but stay off of it as much as possible and let the bone naturally heal. I was able to continue with Devin as he easily switched from core workouts to breath-work and light stretching to help with my healing. He showed me simple exercise I could do as I sat or lay in front of the TV. As my bones healed and I was able to do more, Devin was right there with me, appropriately upping the intensity and giving me encouragement along the way. I can happily say today that I am fully recovered and my strength and mobility are better than ever! At almost 63, I am in the best shape of my life, especially my core and balance. Last fall, I hiked 7.5 miles to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and went on a 9 day river rafting trip! Devin is amazing and you won’t be disappointed working with him!

I have been working with health and wellness practitioners, doctors and holistic healers for almost 15 year and Devin is one of THE BEST practitioners that I have EVER worked with!!
I have been in a few bad car accidents that have left me with many issues. Each time I meet with him, Devin, asks me what I'm dealing with and makes adjustments for my needs accordingly.
The micro-adjustments he offers during training have made it so that I understand my body and the way it functions in a way that I haven't been connected to since I was an athlete in my late teens and early 20s.
It's a wonderful experience to gain agency over body again. If you're looking for someone competent, fun and who can produce results, he's definitely someone to try out!

I worked with Devin when he lived in NYC and he taught me a bunch of important technique for my workouts. He understood my fitness goals and was very intuitive in understanding the areas of opportunity that I had to overcome to get in track towards accomplishing those goals on a healthy path. He was also great at explaining the process. The workouts were fun, varied and challenging, but never dangerous nor risky. Give him a try! He's cool!!

Devin is very knowledgeable and encouraging. I’m not a big fan of exercising for exercising-sake so I appreciate that he explains to me the different muscle groups we’re working on and why strengthening them is important to my health/injury. I like that he mixes normal exercises with dance and animal movements, which make them fun. he's also very holistic in his approach to fitness, and his philosophy is that fitness is falling in love with moving your body instead of "toughing it out" with endless crunches. I usually don't realize how hard i actually work out during our session until a day later when DOMS sets in… I also like that he gives me homework exercises and checks in on my progress so i wont just slack off on vacations. Definitely feel the difference in my body when i work out regularly and keep my weekly sessions. this guy knows his stuff!
