A Message From Turk Fickling, Founder Of Ttp Fitness

I really hope this will help you determine if what we’re about is right for you, makes you comfortable, and gets you excited to get the fitness you want. To me, that’s what an about us page is about.
I originally started TTP Personal Training and I opted to use “Efficient – Effective – Sustainable” as my motto, theme, and tag line. My thinking at the time was trying to find the fewest words to express what clients could get out of my training. Years later, I realized that’s not us. Initially, personal training started off as a means for me to stay in the gym for free. I wanted a job where I can work out and when I was really young I thought that I would be able to become a professional athlete, and have part of my job be to work out for a living.

Personal training was just in its infancy when I started my bodybuilding career. I started off training regular people as most trainers do, and I didn’t like that too much because I was too intense for regular people, or we were after different results. I wanted one thing for them and they wanted something else. This is the beginning of my evolution. At the time, I was firing on all cylinders, at the peak of my physical performance, and was on auto-pilot. I had just won the junior nationals, and I was getting ready for the nationals.

I have been fortunate to work with Susy since May 2024, and as I reflect on my journey, I am compelled to share the transformative impact she has had on my health and wellness. Since turning 60, I've embarked on a journey that has not only reshaped my body but also revitalized my spirit. I feel a remarkable improvement in both my physical capabilities and overall confidence. With her guidance, I am not just on a health journey; I am thriving. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their fitness and achieve lasting results. Thank you, Susy, for being such an exceptional trainer!

Without the help of Turk and Damon at TTP, I would not have been able to reach 80 lbs total fat loss so far.
Damon has been my personal trainer, and has been absolutely necessary in achieving my fitness goals. Damon is super knowledgeable, patient, and very insightful with his workouts. Whether you’re a beginner (where I started), or more advanced, he will help you achieve your goals.
Turk makes nutrition plans straightforward, and eliminates all the confusion on the internet. Having a sustainable and clear nutrition plan has changed everything for me.

I started in September 2024 with Rick and I can say confidently that I’m healthier both physically and mentally due to the time spent with him at TTP fitness.
I have never had a physical trainer before, I think intimidated and self-conscious certainly described how I was feeling when I started.
Rick could sense that and worked intentionally to breakdown my walls and see me as a real human being. I’m not just an appointment on his calendar.
Because of that, I trusted his ability to push me to lift weights I’ve never done before and feel pride in the work I’m doing.

TTP is 100% worth the investment! Rick has been my personal trainer since July 2024, along with a personalized nutrition plan by Turk and an occasional Saturday boot camp class by Nadia. The best of the best. I have successfully lost 35 pounds and feel stronger than I have in several years!
I had been battling with not being able to stick to a consistent plan and not feeling like myself (2 kids under 2 years will do that to ya), but I finally made the choice to invest in myself, and it has been so worth it. Rick helps keeps me accountable and is flexible and available for any questions and concerns I have.

I’ve been training at TTP Fitness for just over 5 months now and cannot say enough great things about the crew here!
If you’re lucky enough to grab a spot with my trainer, Dillon, do it! He is incredibly attuned to his clients needs and builds a scaling training regimen around their current state and where they want to go, while also being mindful of any bumps that can happen along the way as you’re getting back into fitness.
Whether you’re looking for a place to restart your fitness journey with fitness and nutritional training or you’re double down on a detailed and dynamic training program to take your current training to the next level, you’ll find what you’re looking for and more with the team at TTP Fitness! Thank you!!

I've had the privilege of training with several personal trainers over the years, but my experience with Susy has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a man looking for a trainer who understands my unique fitness needs and goals, I can confidently say that Susy is the perfect choice.
What sets Susy apart, besides her vast knowledge, is her low key approach and ability to connect with her male clients. She creates a comfortable and motivating training environment, encouraging open communication and addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way. Her professionalism is top-notch, and I always felt like my well-being was her top priority.

I trained with Susy and love her! I showed up with long Covid symptoms and no endurance and she gently helped me get myself back together over several months. I was afraid of getting hurt but Susy supported my form, increased the weights, and varied the exercises perfectly. Plus, she had me laughing the whole time and looking forward to our sessions. Most importantly, I felt like she cared and had my back. The gym is low-key and most people there are working with a trainer so it's never too busy. Turk sets a great tone. If you're looking to get back into shape, or to take it to the next level if you're already going strong, I highly recommend Susy. Amazing lady!

I Connected With Turk To Better Understand Certain Workout Routines
As someone who’s remained quite active, I reached an idle point of what I could accomplish alone. I connected w/ Turk to better understand certain workout routines which would help me increase muscle mass but not compromise a lean shape. As we continued to workout, I added a suite of different exercise routines to what I did in the past and appreciated the workout ethic we developed. The most difficult aspect was how to incorporate a vegan diet into the routine, not because of protein limitations but excessive carbohydrate intake in whatever macronutrients I consumed. This was an area Turk and I bounced ideas on and it was nice to learn what he’s studied.
