Incinerate is a small quaint gym. Roger and the other clients are friendly and make working out more enjoyable. Roger is knowledgeable about working out and the body. I chose the group sessions and there was never more than 4 other people. The gym also has recovery equipment like an ice bath and other tools to help when clients come in with injuries. More...

Roger is a great trainer. In joining a gym, I look to whether I can maintain my workout routine at a place for a long and get the desired results. The machines don’t matter as much as the mental motivation I need to go to a place in a routine to workout. Roger opens people up and makes his gym a small community where people hang out and workout together. This makes people want to come to the gym to workout. Even if someone’s not in the mood to work out, the community pulls them in. Roger also takes care of diet and makes sure his clients follow discipline in their routine to get the desired results. He pushes you to work out harder. Roger also makes sure his clients are happy and keeps their spirits up to keep consistency in their workouts. He’s one of the best trainers I've worked out with.

Roger rocks!!! His knowledge of nutrition and exercise were beneficial to my success. He instilled discipline and a "never give up" mentality, and makes you feel like you can accomplish the task at hand, and a little extra.

I found Roger through online and reading reviews after reading reviews, it seemed he actually cared and took care of his people and now after a few months with him I totally agree always available to text if you have questions and just a funny guy who doesn’t make you feel too bad about yourself will definitely be coming back!

Where do I start with Incinerate Fitness and it's owner and personal trainer Roger. I came across Incinerate through online site Bark. From our first correspondence he was professional and just had great fun energy, so we scheduled a session to see if it was a fit. He asked all the right questions before our session about my health, injuries and what I thought were my limitations. After that workout I was hooked and sore. Although, I had scheduled with a couple of other trainers I knew this gym and trainer were a fit for me. Roger has such great energy to keep you motivated even when you don't have it in yourself to start. But over time it rubs off plus you start to see those results not only in how you look but how you feel. I came in with a back injury due to work plus carrying extra weight. Within these short 3 months my back pain has decreased greatly and I feel so much better in my day to day. The environment is laid-back and no egos, everyone is just friendly and encouraging. I will be coming back and excited to see what my 6mo progress will look like. Only con no weekend availability but an owner and trainer has to have a life too.... right? More...

Such as diet, cardio, muscle growth, and other minor health issues I had been dealing with. He was very malleable with the fact that I had been diagnosed with epilepsy and we were able to find many workarounds and alternative solutions regarding this issue. over the span of a year I have achieved many of my target goals and ideals for my fitness, health, and overall well-being.

Roger does a great job at modifying the workouts to meet your personal needs. Working out with him has become more of a hobby and much more enjoyable compared to how I previously felt at the thought of stepping foot in a gym. He makes it a fun and comfortable environment to be in. Definitely excited to continue seeing the development. More...

Originally found Roger on Bark. Came to him because I was having extreme lower back pain, which I later found out was due to an extruding disc. Roger worked with me, always modifying workouts and checking in with me to make sure I wasn’t in pain, but still pushing me to do more than I thought I could. It’s been four months and I’m down roughly 14lbs, and have not experienced any back pain since working with him! Roger is knowledgeable about everything fitness and injuries which was a relief to feel like I wasn’t going to hurt myself and that I could feel comfortable asking him any questions I had. He is extremely kind and really cares about all of his clients! I’ve seen him first hand go above and beyond for others, including me! I came to him during a time when I felt like my whole life was crashing down and he offered comforting advice and a safe place to cry! For that I will always be grateful! He truly is a great trainer & would highly recommend to anyone, injury or not! More...
