"I started working with Tyler after experiencing terrible back pain. I felt instant relief after Day 1! After training with Tyler for several weeks, I feel so much stronger and my back pain is completely gone. Also a big fan of the Normatec compression therapy!"

Carly R.

"I’ve been an avid weight lifter for 8 years and had recently developed discomfort with squatting after

recovering from an injury. I reached out to Totem for assistance and had a movement consultation

within the week. Both Tyler and Gage were extremely professional and had me feeling better by the end of the session. They also developed a movement plan for me going forward that has me excited about getting back under the bar."

Tanner H.

“Working with Tyler has been a great experience. He's given me guidance on the best way to train my muscles and get the most out of my time at the gym. I feel stronger having a program to keep me on the right path. He is communicative, knowledgeable, and quick to answer all questions and help out.”

Travis C.

"I began customized training with Tyler about four months ago to compete in my first powerlifting competition, and the experience has been phenomenal! Not only did I achieve second place in my debut competition, but I also surpassed several all-time personal records in competition and training. Tyler's attention to detail and tailored approach have been instrumental in my progress. He's not only helping me address injuries but also improving my overall performance in lacking areas. His coaching is truly top-tier! I highly recommend Tyler's services—10/10, always!"

Lori S.

"I’ve practiced various different methods and forms of lifting/fitness for years. I needed someone who understood my pains/injuries as well as someone to change things up for me, as just going to the gym and lifting or doing long distance runs was not satisfying anymore. When I met Liam I knew he was passionate and knowledgeable about many different aspects of fitness and health. He was the first person I paid for training and I have never once regretted it. I feel loose, pain free, and my body is in the best shape it’s ever been."

Harry H. 

"Liam is without a doubt one of the best trainers, and kindest people in Pittsburgh. He helped me target my weaknesses after an Achilles surgery, introduced me to Muay Thai, guided me on methods for achieving better mobility, and created workouts based on cutting edge training methods that took my prior injuries into account. Working with Liam was the best decision I ever made to get back on my fitness journey and elevate it to a new level!"

Ben S.

"I currently work with Dr Gage for Physical Therapy and recovery to aid my competitive weightlifting performance. This team of knowledgeable trainers is arguably the best you will get in Pittsburgh. I have worked with several different PTs over the years, and while most of them were pretty good and at least helped me manage my pain, none of them felt as beneficial as working with the Totem team. Working with Gage specifically, I can say he has helped me keep my body healthy to recover from some small injuries AND to prevent future ones..."

Haylie H.

"It was a tremendous experience with trained experts. Catered, one-on-one sessions make Totem worthwhile. I came to Tyler with pain in my left leg. He promptly diagnosed the issue and prescribed practical exercises. He also enacted various stretches and mobility techniques, which provided almost immediate relief. The staff creates a welcoming and safe environment. Recommended for those with training injuries, mobility issues, or those looking to refine their recovery techniques."
