What People Are Saying

"Over the past 5 years I have had the opportunity to work out with several personal trainers. Based on my experiences, I feel confident in saying that Grant is one of the most knowledgeable and talented trainers I have ever worked with. From the very first workout, I was immediately impressed with the level of expertise that he brought from his academic studies and work with the athletics program at UGA. Furthermore, as a mental health professional-in-training, I have found his workouts to be physically challenging as well as beneficial to my own mental health and wellbeing. But all other praises aside, to put it quite simply, he's just a cool guy to work out with. I highly recommend Grant to be your personal trainer." ~Jay Manalo 27

"I enjoyed working with you -- you're the best personal trainer I've had. I appreciated your knowledge of many health issues along with your understanding of physiology and anatomy. You kept me motivated and challenged me to do my best at each session. The variety of activities was wonderful -- I did some things I had never done before and would never have even thought of on my own! You are a wonderful guy who will do very well!" ~Garnett Stokes, Dean of UGA's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences



"I came to Grant with specific goals in mind and after training with him I have gained more than I could have expected. Not only have I made immense progress in strength training, but I have greater confidence when working out. Being trained by Grant has been challenging, it hasn't been easy, but he is encouraging, pushing me to go beyond what I think I can do. He has changed the meaning of working out from checking something off of my "to-do list" to a lifestyle." ~Katie Courtney 21



"While healing from an achilles injury, I worked with Grant to strengthen my leg and foot. After full recovery, I continued to work with Grant for a total body workout. I have noticed distinct changes in my strength level, body tone, and overall health and fitness. Grant is an excellent trainer, who can create specific workouts catered to each person's individual goals. He always helps to push you to a new level and always offers encouragement." ~Alex Turner 22

"I took Grant's Personal Trainer Circuit class this past fall. Not only was Grant very knowledgeable about exercise, but he liked to share his knowledge with you. He gave helpfut tips on what to do outside of the class. Grant liked for you to challenge yourself -- pushing you to do more but also made the class enjoyable at the same time. He was professional yet personable making sure you got the most out of your workout." ~ Melanie Gibson



"I also took Grant's personal training class at the University of Georgia. Grant is a good personal trainer because he encourages you to push yourself so you get the most out of your workout. What stands out most about Grant is he always makes sure you are in correct form, while also giving you advice on eating well and living healthy....advice that has stayed with me even after the class. Now when I work out on my own, I try to remember all the tips Grant gave me so I can get the best workout." Alina Ruiz
