I don’t write reviews often, but this one is worthwhile. After seeing a PT post knee surgery for 3 weeks, my knee was not getting any better. I had a referral to Phil from an acquaintance that raved about his ability to regain strength and functional mobility globally, specifically for major joint rehabilitation therapy. Not only have I been challenged by his exercises as a former division one soccer athlete, but I finally feel like his workouts are specifically tailored to my condition and I’m feeling stronger and seeing results after each session. You can find these people a dime O’ dozen, I’ve done my research, but he has a way of approach that’s holistic in nature and truly specific to my issue which has made me progress exponentially. I recommend seeing if he has a régime for your specific needs, bec he’s knowledgeable and has experience with myriad of conditions unlike most other health and wellness practitioners. Do your part, do your research and give him a shot, you shouldn’t be dissatisfied.

I I trained at Equinox for 1 year (with another trainer) with no results… then I met Phil at Equinox and began training with him. In 12 months I lost 65lbs and made significant improvements in BF% and overall health. when Phil left Equinox I stayed with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and training techniques. we continue to establish new goals and make significant progress. Im not super flexible so this is a new area we are focusing on which is helping me avoid injuries while training and running on the days I work out on my own.
If you have specific fitness goals or need help establishing specific goals, then I would strongly recommend training with Phil!

I’ve been working out for years, and have always been in pretty good shape. But working out with Phil has taken me to that next level…“aesthetics.” Training with him also made me realize that although I may have looked fit, I wasn’t holistically fit on the cardiovascular level. Phil was able to deal with my stubbornness and be the tough push that I needed. He really got under my skin, but for some reason I kept coming back to the SOB haha. It was just what I needed. Working out with him week by week showed me how awesome of a guy he is – tough, funny, honest, full of integrity, and a damn good trainer. Work out with Phil if you want to be pushed to the next level.

I’ve done it all – Crossfit, military training, sports specific training, rock climbing, yoga, HIT training, personal training (several different trainers), kettle bells, TRX… you name it and there’s a good chance I’ve tried it.
I can hands down say, Phill Hogg has given me some of the most challenging and comprehensive workouts I’ve ever had.
Phil is all about creating personalized programming based on your goals and more importantly your NEEDS. If you don’t like doing something, Phil won’t just let you cop out and substitute a movement – he will make you do it till you love it.
Thanks to Phil, I’m bigger, faster, stronger and harder to kill than I’ve ever been. I’d highly recommend Phil Hogg to anyone looking to be in the best shape of their lives.

My entire life I have been going to different trainers. They all start out great, pushing you to your limit for about a month, and then the plateau begins. This did not happen with Phil. For 2 years, he has pushed me to my limit each time we train. During a workout, when I get tired, I try and distract trainers, allowing the focus to shift from the workout to a normal conversation. Phil wouldn’t let me do this. At the beginning of the workout, Phil has every thing you will do planned out, and it shows.
Each workout Phil creates is tailored to you, and to what other workouts you have done that week. This makes it so that your muscles are constantly confused, and therefore growing. Never before have I seen as quick and extensive results as I have seen while training with Phil.
If I had one recommendation for someone looking to train with Phil, it is to follow his advice to the T. This guy knows what he is talking about, and will do whatever it takes for you to get the results you are looking for.

I have always had personal trainers through various gyms I belonged to. They were ok, nothing great. Honestly, they were flaky and really just wanted to keep selling me training packages even when I wasn’t seeing results.
I decided to call when two of my friends, who are clients of his kept talking about him. I was getting fed up with my trainer at the gym and thought I’d give Boss Fitness a try. Well… I’m so glad I did. Phil really cares about you as an individual and not a client. He wants to help you get the results you want for yourself. He pushes you beyond your limits every session. He’s encouraging and excellent at what he does. He is a wealth of information about fitness, nutrition and overall health.
I am embarrassed now by the picture on my drivers license as I look and feel like a different girl who’s photo I show to get a mojito.
Flat stomach toned arms… writing this review in some new skinny jeans. No muffin top
Mmmmmmmmm muffins (just kidding Phil)

I’ve had experience with a few trainers in the past and all of them had the same problems: the trainers became more like chatty assistants only there to help me set up weights and machines rather than someone to push me to my limits to reach my physical goals.
That all changed with Phil. Finally a trainer that means BUSINESS with each and every workout. You express your fitness goal and Phil is able to adapt the workouts in an effective way in order to maximize your results. The first day alone made me feel like I had been doing it all wrong for years and also felt like I hadn’t even worked out in years. He makes sure that you not only have impeccable form with each exercise so that you target the specific muscle or region perfectly, but then challenges you to exceed what you think your limit is.
What I love is that there is no lack of intensity in the works outs. He is just as motivated to see you achieve your results as you are about attaining them. With Phil I am no longer the sole person motivated to achieve results. And the best and most important part is that I HAVE been seeing awesome results!

After extensive training as a ballet dancer for 18 years, I thought I knew everything there was to fitness, that is… until I met Phil. For the past year, Phil has helped me transform my body in ways I had never thought possible. His training style has been both supportive and challenging. He has pushed my mind and body to its physical limits, and above all, get RESULTS.
Before I met Phil, I felt as though I had plateaued in my gym routine and didn’t know how to push my body any harder. Luckily, Phil identified my strengths & weaknesses, and designed a fitness regimen to meet my individual needs. He incorporated a great deal of strength training into my fitness plan, and balanced it nicely with stretching (which is especially important for me as a dancer). He taught me that GIRLS CAN LIFT… and boy did this give me the results I was looking for. Phil’s extensive knowledge in nutrition also helped me get past barriers that I had originally struggled with. He created a nutritional plan that WORKED, and this helped me lose fat around the tummy AND build muscle around the booty (thanks Phil!!)
Most importantly though, Phil as an individual is what sets him apart from the rest. He is consistent, reliable, creative, attentive, knowledgable and FUN. Once you become his client, he goes out of his way to help you achieve your results. He helps you become the BOSS of your body and your fitness. literally. Phil always found a way to put me & my schedule first so that training was easy (to get to) in the mornings, and he was always available to discuss nutritional concerns when I needed him.
If you’re looking to actually get results from someone who genuinely cares about your fitness… Phil is the man. BOSS HOGG ALL THE WAY.

IF RESULTS COULD WRITE REVIEWS…
When i first met Phil, through the recommendation of an esteemed fitness establishment, I was hesitant at first… I don’t believe in magic, and this guy would need to need to be damn near Gandalf Wizard status to make any transformation happen.
Phil is as approachable as he is knowledgable, being a friend while also being the embodiment of the service you are paying for. Excuses to him are just words, and later on you yourself realize that as well.
I went from being a 30 year old guy who would be out of breath going up a flight of stairs to someone run up and down those bad boys multiple multiple times, with ease and dare I say enjoyment. I am stronger than I have EVER been and on the way to a healthy lifestyle that is easily maintainable and actually quite fulfilling.
Phils training goes beyond the hour you pay him. It continues with the phone calls he make sto you through out the week, helping me stay accountable in areas I have failed before (poor eating habits, and sedentary lifestyle choices). Whether it be texting him every time i drink a liter of water, or keeping a food log, Phil takes his job personally. If you are late for an appointment, he will make sure you get that hour in, even if it takes up his own personal time.
If I didn’t believe every word I am saying I wouldn’t still be a client. I stand by every word of this and I know anyone who reads this will have that same opportunity.
Well well well worth it…
