What Industry Influencers Are Saying About Bob

John Hardy MSC

Founder & CEO, Faster Health & Fitness: UK
I have been lucky enough to know and work with Bob since 2001, when we met after is talk at IHRSA in San Francisco. Since that time I have been able to apply and build on the strong business principles that Bob taught and coached me to excel as a fitness manager, while building a strong network in the industry. Forward wind to 2023 where Bob is back passing on his knowledge and easily integrating his experience, with the Faster programmes, where our students are benefiting as much I have. Bob has a unique combination of understanding the trainer and the institutions in the industry, and then bridging that gap perfectly.

Eric Durak

President & Founder, MedHealthFit: USA
I would like to say that Bob came out of retirement because of me - but his vision for the direction of my company was something that he saw in me that didn't realize. After 40 years in the health club business -there are few who can match the business savvy, experience, and client care that Bob has developed. He has guided many companies to better results, and I am honored to be one of his current clients and partners. I believe that the success of my company will be in direct proportion to the efforts given by Bob. His efforts generate revenues, but also long-lasting business relationships.

Marvin Burton

Sales & Customer Experience, TRX Training: UK
I first met Bob mutually via work at a global fitness company (fitpro). I was only 19 years old, and meeting Bob gave me a vision! he inspired me, motivated me, installed a confidence within me which I didn't realise at the time.Bob has a gift of seeing potential in people and then guiding them on their own journey, like a mentor. He can only do this due to his immense experience and knowledge. He is a great listener (which is really hard to find) and shows empathy and gives timely and impactful advice.I would highly recommend working with, listening to or just being in the company of Bob. You will learn so much and leave with happiness and confidence. That's how talented and special Bob is. He has influenced the global fitness industry and inspired the next generation. Thank you Bob
