Can't recommend enough, I have muscles for the first time in my life!

Coach has completely transformed my life and the way I relate to my body. I have never, ever worked out in a gym before but now being in my mid- 30s I wanted to try to support healthy aging. For context, I am a queer woman married to another queer woman and neither of us have felt particularly great around men because of past experiences. Not only has Coach changed my outlook on fitness and health, but he created such a positive, supportive, fun space that has me feeling safe around men again for the first time in a long time.

I do 3 forty-five minute private sessions a week with my wife; I started back in August, and I already have muscles for the first time in my entire life. Coach listens to our needs and goals, he supports holistic fitness by offering sessions and classes in mobility, and I have seen so many clients of different ability levels come to him that I don't think would have felt comfortable in a traditional gym setting.

His pricing is fair, his energy is priceless. Best kept secret in Newington!

The idea of working out with a personal trainer for the first time was intimidating but Mook has made it fun and easy for a beginner like myself. I've been working with him for a couple months and already seeing noticable results. HIs pricing is very fair and there's no pressure to continue unless you want to. Great option for anybody in the area.

I recently started training with Coach Mook in Aug 2025 and it's been an amazing experience thus far. Coach Mook provides both an intentional and strategic approach to each and every workout, leaving no muscle group untouched! You'll complete each workout feeling empowered and motivated to return for more.

After many failed attempts of losing weight and getting back on my health journey after having my kids in 2019 and 2024, I tried one last attempt, and this time it was with Coach Mook. I can confidently say that I not only have lost weight, but I’ve also learned so much about nutrition, flexibility and mobility, and have been supported in so many ways to take care of my body so I can continue in my God given purpose, and be my best self for my family and others. My knee pain would always flair up when I attempted to workout and often was a reason for me to stop, but when I began working with Coach Mook his knowledge and specific attention to my knee has now allowed me to workout with no knee pain. Now I actually enjoy working out and look forward to my sessions. I love the environment at the RECC, the community, the support, the push, the motivation, the positivity, and of course the music. I’m grateful for Coach Mook, My Elevation Wellness, and I highly recommend the RECC!

Mook has been the top trainer I have ever worked with. On a scale of 0-10 he is always a 10! He pushes you and lifts you up every time.

I hadn’t worked out in a very long time, so getting started again felt intimidating — but Coach Mook and the entire gym community have made it easy to jump in and feel supported. One of the things I appreciate most is that I never have to wonder what to do or how to do it. The guidance is clear, the workouts are purposeful, and everything is designed to help you move toward your goals. I also love that they offer both semi-private training and Bootcamp sessions at a variety of times — perfect for someone with a busy schedule. The environment is encouraging, welcoming, and truly one of a kind. It’s more than just a gym — it’s a space that helps you grow.

I started training with Coach Mook in 2022, and I’ve continued my journey as he created the My Elevation program and now has his own facility, The RECC. I’ve truly enjoy training with him because he has a special way of addressing my needs and concerns, helping me better understand my body and pay attention to what’s going on at any given time. He transformed my mindset from just beating up my body to actually listening to it and working through challenges in a smarter, more mindful way.

The community here is incredibly supportive and motivating, making those early morning sessions and weekends so worthwhile. Not only does the RECC change your life physically, but it also supports you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. They offer personal training, real-life coaching, counseling, therapy, yoga to reset your mindset and nervous system; they offer workshops and classes for a fun, challenging workout.

This facility truly has everything you need to build a healthier, more balanced life, surrounded by a community that supports you every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I started semi-private training with Mook in May 2025. I am motivated when working out with others and appreciate that there is a 5am option to get my workout done first thing. Mook is encouraging, attentive to the needs of his clients, and he plays great music! I can feel the improvement in my strength. Thank you Coach Mook and team at RECC.

I have been working with Mook for over seven years and am very excited to see him open at this new location. Mook is an experienced and knowledgeable coach. He has helped me lose weight, gain muscle, strength, flexibility, recover from old injuries, and make me want to prioritize my health and fitness. I cannot recommend working with him more highly.
