Brody Boudreau 

I worked with Ian over three months and saw huge improvements in my strength, speed, and overall performance. His attention to detail and ability to track various metrics allowed me to attack weaknesses while building on my strengths. As an athlete, I want my trainer to care about my results just as much as I do. Ian took my goals as his own personal challenge. He motivated me to bring energy and intent to each session and I couldn’t be happier with the results I made.

After working with Ian both in person and online over the past few years, I couldn’t be more impressed with his expertise and dedication.

His …highly tailored programs evolve with the demands of the rugby season, from of-fseason to in-season, ensuring my training always aligns with my performance needs.
