Performance Training Systems Chicago

Bobby is a master of his craft. I was very blessed to be able to play 12 years of professional baseball. The year I trained with Bobby was the strongest I have been on the mound as well as the best I have felt. He truly is an expert when it comes to mechanics, motions, form and technique based on the individual’s sport. Even though I’m now retired and live in Houston (1,000 miles away), I implement Bobby’s workouts in my daily routine. My only regret in baseball is not having the opportunity to train with Bobby sooner.

I have been training sport specifically for 25 years and the past 4 years spent working with Bobby have been my most beneficial yet. Bobby and the rest of the staff at PTS show an unparalleled commitment to working with you to attain your fitness and nutrition goals; from preparing each clients’ workout program specifically for their needs, to the attention to detail of every last repetition during each session. My only regret is not having found PTS earlier in my career after experiencing how my body has transformed during our time working together.

I came to Bobby after tearing my hamstring and dealing with stress fractures throughout my rehab. He listened carefully to my entire story, assessed my progress and devised a personalized plan to get me healthy. He’s a great guy to work with and extremely knowledgeable in strength training and injury prevention. We worked in three-week phases with more attention to detail than I had ever experienced. Step by step, Bobby got me back to total health and eventually stronger, faster, and more explosive than ever. We trained together for the rest of my career, and I played without any further injuries. I never felt more stable on the field. I highly recommend Bobby and PTS trainers to all athletes looking to get healthy, stay healthy, and get stronger.

When I met Bobby, I had just failed a physical with the Houston Texans. I was looking for someone to help get my shoulder healthy enough to have the opportunity to play again. Bobby exceeded my expectations because of his knowledge of ART, fascial stretching, and background as an athletic trainer I not only saw my shoulder become much healthier but I saw my numbers in the weight room increase for all of my lifts. Two months with Bobby’s nutrition plan and spending four sometimes five days a week allowed me to be in the best shape of my life and led me to an opportunity with the St Louis Rams. I have and would highly recommend Bobby to anybody who is looking to reach their athletic and fitness goals.

Bobby is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever come across when it comes to Performance Enhancement. The difference from how my body performs now, compared to when I started training with him in December 2013 is night and day. My second off-season spent training with him and I could not feel more ready going into Spring Training.

Aside from the Performance part, he’s just a great personable guy. Always checking up on how my season is going, and always there if I have any questions about anything. Truly consider Bobby a great friend, mentor, and person!

One of the hardest thing for a former NFL player to do after he retires is stay in shape.  Whether it is the lack of a big contract as an incentive, a worn down and tired body holding him back or just being tired of working out after decades of basically living in the gym.  After a forced retirement from the Atlanta Falcons due to an MCL injury, all 3 of the previous situations applied to me.  That, along with moving to Chicago during December in one of the coldest winters in years caused me to go from 245 (my playing weight) to 275 (my: I hate looking at myself in the mirror and clothes don’t fit weight).

I desperately needed to get back in shape because of my new job as a sports analyst where I would be in front of the camera al the time.  I tried everything from the Insanity Workout to training by myself in the apartment gym but nothing seemed to work, until I walked into PTS.  I hate to give Bobby too much credit but I have to in this case.  He and his staff single handedly brought me back to not only my playing weight but beyond.  The staff at PTS helped me reach all time lows in weight and body fat percentage and all time highs in strength.  I actually looked forward to coming to workout because the PTS staff provided the perfect balance of intensity and fun.  The workouts were constantly changing so I never plateaued.  The most impressive thing about Bobby and his staff is that they are very well educated in physiology and actually understand how the body works.  They corrected my form on several basic exercises that would always cause me back and knee pain which played a huge part in my progress.

All in all, whether you are a current or former professional athlete, weekend warrior, CEO or soccer mom Bobby and his crew will get you right and ready to show off your body (for all 3 months of good weather in Chicago).
