“Now at age 38, I feel stronger than ever.”

After injuring my back, I missed an entire ski season... Feeling hopeless, I started training with Frank on a strong recommendation from a coworker. From our first session, Frank helped change my mindset around my pain, while improving my strength and mobility.

Within just weeks of training, my pain was significantly lower. I returned to skiing and soon after began ski touring and surfing for the first time.

Frank not only helped fix my back pain—he inspired me to set new athletic goals that have brought immense joy to my life.

“By far the best training I have ever done.”

I trained with Frank in preparation for my snowboard trip to Alaska. Frank's fitness program is by far the best training I have ever done. He is thoughtful and caring, explaining the how and why of each movement.

I arrived in Alaska with a whole new mindset and body, ready to shred some of the most intense terrain on the planet. I am eternally grateful for Frank, and still to this day, use FranklyFitness as a model for my workout routines.
