Client Testimonials

I work with athletes from all walks of life.

Here’s some of what people are saying…

“… Patrick is the real deal, and invaluable for the fact he can treat athlete on their ground having competed himself. I can’t say enough about what we were able to accomplish in just a few weeks. I went from benching PR’s in meets to a shoulder injury that left me unable to unrack the bar and press it pain-free. In a few sessions, and with some prescribed rehab, we extended that pain-free range of motion a ton, each session there was dramatic response. After just a few sessions and some rehab I was not at 100% by any means but was able to do a meet I had planned and at the least put up a token 340lb bench to get a total and a 700lb Deadlift. In those sessions we also worked on my hips and lower body mobility. I have a rebuilt hip and knee issues from various injuries that have limited me a bit. We were able to dramatically increase my ROM again, and in a short time I should be up to a 600+ lb pain-free back squat. I’ve never been one to let pain or injury hold me back, but I tell you what – I look forward to seeing what I can now accomplish with little (or at the least much less pain) directly due to Patrick’s help…”

“… Patrick Ward’s expertise in deep tissue therapy has allowed me to continue in my new sport of running. I’ve have Patrick work on my IT band issues and a month-long pain in my glutes. He’s been able to alleviate some nagging aches and pain and teach me the various exercises I need to do to avoid re-injuring myself. My physical therapist who treated my first bout with IT did not volunteer any information on how to prevent recurrence of the injury, and I got it again in less than 4 weeks. Patrick is up-front with his abilities and if he can’t fix you, he will refer you to someone who can. He is pro-active in his approach and is thorough in his treatment of sports injuries…”

“… Patrick Ward is absolutely who the Phoenix fitness market needs! He has the knowledge and ability to assess, repair and train ervery athlete involved in football, hockey, basketball, and the real sports of track and field, and running (obviously – I’m biased as a coach of 40+ years!). This gentleman has the educational desire to research all sports and the physical movements required to be more than just “successful” at them. He can help all of us! I encourage all coaches to check him out…”

Coach Bill Strachan, AZTech Racing Club
Phoenix, AZ

“… I can say without a doubt this has been my best season. At the start of the season I could immediately see a difference. I was better conditioned than all of my teammates, I had greater strength and endurance, and was just overall way more prepared than anyone on the team. There are two more games left this season and I have been injury free and have dominated opponents with huge size advantages. With proper training I have gained injury prevention, strength, speed, and agility by far I’m at the best I have ever been thanks to Patrick….”

M. Cole – High School Athlete
Texas

“…I trained with Pat Ward for several years, and during that time I was working toward my lifelong goal of running a marathon. I got to know several of Pat’s other clients, who all had different ambitions – weight loss, bodybuilding, and strength training. Unlike the cookie-cutter approach to training that I’ve witnessed at most gyms (the trainers have every client doing the same thing), Pat really tailored and individualized his programs for each of his clients. It was refreshing to see Pat doing a completely different routine with each different client, and he took the time to explain the reasons behind his programs.

“Pat also went out of his way to do extra research on various topics – in my case, marathon training and nutrition – to develop a training regimen that was just right for me. I particularly appreciated (but didn’t always follow, I admit!) his advice on proper nutrition. I know that Pat’s other clients had great success with their goals as well. Pat Ward would be the first person I would call to help me start a training program…”

“…Patrick Ward is an outstanding trainer. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in the areas of fitness and nutrition. He was terrific at helping me achieve my goals of losing weight and toning my body. This was accomplished through weight training, cardio exercise and healthier eating. Patrick skillfully guided me through each of these areas and provided me with the motivation to stay focused by being firm but reasonable and creative in customizing the programs. Patrick does an amazing job, and I would recommend him to anyone…”

“…Patrick was able to motivate me in such a way that I felt comfortable yet challenged. I had not exercised in several years and knew that seeking expert instruction would be the quickest way to get back on track to obtain my goals of creating a better physical condition. It didn’t take long for me, my friends and family to notice the change; not just better shape physically, but the fact that I feel better about how I look. Thanks, Patrick!”

D. Quitiquit
Tempe, Arizona

“…Thank you so much for all of your help! You have helped me realize my many weak areas that I need to work on. I used to think I had good strength for a female, but you showed me that I could be a lot stronger. I managed to finish first of the women in our tri class bike/run brick on Saturday. We rode out of Grenada park along the canal for 8 miles and then did a 1 1/2 mile run. It was a great experience!”…

“…Patrick’s Take Charge eBook has been such an invaluable tool for me.  It gave me the confidence to formulate my own program, taught me the importance of training with movements in the varying planes, the importance of finding the right set/rep scheme to meet my goals, and more.  I set off with a goal to build muscle and increase my strength using the 4-day Upper/Lower split template from his ebook. With that, I experienced my biggest increases in the shortest amount of time ever.  Being able to formulate my own programs with understanding of the variables necessary to accomplish my goal is a skill that will remain with me.  Thank you Patrick for being such a mentor to us.”
