Phil Daru is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. His knowledge and commitment is next to none. He is professional, an inspiring coach and an even better person. The atmosphere of the gym is inviting to all. Whether you are just beginning your fitness journey or you’re a professional athlete, Phil will make you better!
Kayla Hracho
I am in my second month of boot camp and before I joined I could’ve never saw myself doing something like this. The training is well prepared and explained. The trainers are skilled, patience and make you accountable. I wake up everyday wishing it was Monday, Wednesday or Friday. I am so glad I gave it a try as I absolutely love it. I feel my body getting stronger everyday. Thank you Ann Marie, Des and the entire Daru Team for making working hard fun.
Deana Gutierrez
Always a great workout 🏋️‍♂‍. Very professional and clean environment. I love the motivation that comes from all the coaches!
Devin Pittman
I trained with Phil and his associates for approximately 3 years; not only did I learn the “how” but he also taught me the “why” behind a lot of the techniques. Phil makes it a point to connect with all his clients and not just tell them what to lift, push and pull. Overall it was an outstanding experience to train with him!
George McLain
The absolute best facility to get in the best shape of your life. Athlete or not, go here to get right. Phil and his team are very knowledgeable and experienced. Make sure you stop and take that first step.
Sidney Champagne Jr
I have been working with Phil and David for almost two years as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. They both do such an amazing job with their clients and I can attest to that. If we both have a client, I know I can send them anyone with specific instructions and they do above and beyond. If you are looking for the place to be, this is it.
