The best way to understand what coaching with Patrick is like is to hear it from the people who've done it.
Featured story
When I first started, I was struggling. I was feeling insecure, discouraged, and honestly, I didn’t feel very good about myself. I knew I wanted to change, but I needed someone who could help me see that I was capable of more than I believed. Patrick did that almost immediately.
After one of my first workouts with him, I actually cried. Not because I was hurt or because the workout was too hard, but because I had pushed myself physically and realized that I was capable of things I honestly didn’t think I could do anymore.
I’m stronger physically, but more importantly, I feel stronger mentally. … If you’re feeling intimidated, insecure, or unsure of what you’re capable of, I would tell you to give yourself a chance. Patrick might just help you discover that you are much stronger than you thought you were.
— Suzanne F.
Building confidence
Feeling comfortable and capable, in the gym and out of it.
“I’ve been working with Patrick for eighteen months and it has been a great experience. Thanks to his support, I have met my goals, gotten stronger and gained confidence in the gym. He is extremely knowledgeable and has built me a custom workout that helped me surpass my fitness goals. He also makes workouts fun.”
“If you’re one of those people who have never stuck with healthy nutrition before or feel overwhelmed working out or have tried to do it all on your own and it hasn’t worked (I’m all of the above), then Patrick is your guy! … He’s a trainer that provides encouragement and truly makes you feel like you can do this!”
“I worked with Patrick after getting stalled in my weight loss journey. … It was exactly what I needed to kick me back into weight loss and boost my confidence to keep going! … But probably the best thing is Patrick made me feel extremely comfortable the whole process. He was empathetic about where I was and extremely supportive!”
Achieving goals

“I lost over 100 lbs by working with Coach Miller. He was the only trainer to ever show how much he cared, and he never canceled or didn’t show up like other trainers I had. … I put in the effort and work, but I couldn’t have done it without him.”
“He helped me through 2 knee replacements. When I started with Patrick I couldn’t do 1 squat. Now I do them weighted (15 lbs) and can do 40 easily. … I’m 73 and going strong!”
“I decided at 55 years old to get into the best shape of my life. … Patrick was excellent with easing me into an exercise routine that I could handle. After working out for 2 months, I lost 15% body fat. … He gave me a customized nutrition plan based on my age, weight and goals. I love how easy this plan is to follow.”
“I started obese with mobility problems, riddled with injury. Became fit, strong, flexible and feeling great. He is intuitive in figuring out what you need to meet your goals. … He has become a friend that I value greatly.”
Creating consistency
Support, accountability, and routines that finally stick.
“Been working with Patrick for a couple years now and highly recommend him! He does a great job meeting you where you are in your fitness and curates a program to your specific needs. In addition, Patrick creates community in his training, whether it’s in group sessions or fun competitions and recognition that he shares on social media. He is also flexible in scheduling, so finding a time to schedule sessions is never an issue.”
“Personal training with Patrick has been something I consistently look forward to since I started over two years ago. … He emphasizes proper warm-ups and cool-downs just as much as the workout itself, which has made a huge difference in how I feel and recover. … He keeps me motivated, holds me accountable, and is always encouraging without being pushy.”
Personalized coaching
Feeling understood, with a plan that works around real life.
“He doesn’t hand you a generic plan — everything was built around my goals and my schedule, and he even rehabbed a shoulder injury back to full strength along the way. He taught me proper technique and the reasoning behind it, so I don’t just follow moves, I understand how to train. … If you’re serious about your goals, he’s the coach you want in your corner.”
“I was cautious about weight lifting again after a shoulder injury sidelined me for approximately 6 months. Coach Miller took me under his wing because he had a similar injury and wanted to help me get my confidence back. After 3 weeks training with Coach Miller, I can proudly say I am back on track and stronger than ever! … He even set up a Google Doc workout schedule for me to follow and track my progress.”
“Patrick is organized and professional and puts great thought and planning into each workout to make sure I am always challenged and always striving for my goals.”
