Aftershock Training - Clive, Iowa

I started working with Sam back in June 2024. At the time, I was back to struggling with my weight, making time for the gym, and not confident. I needed a change up and Sam has offered that to me. He is an incredibly uplifting, positive person who wants to see and help you meet your goals. The app he uses for workouts is incredibly user friendly. There are videos of him doing the workout so you know in real time how the move is performed, there is also an area you can log and keep up on your progress for each move. He is also very good at working with your schedule and if something comes up, getting a make up session set up. I've lost 24 pounds so far with a good diet and following the workouts Sam provides me (slow and steady wins the race). I have two sessions a week and always look forward to both of them. If you are willing to put in the work and effort in to yourself, I highly recommend Aftershock to anyone looking to reach their personal goals in the health and fitness area of their life. Thank you Sam 🙌

Aftershock Training with Sam has been such an awesome experience in helping me get back into the gym. We work hard and always have great conversations! Thanks to Sam I had the confidence to get into new sport and feeling my best as an athlete. 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend.

Training with Sam has been a game changer for my energy and endurance, as well as seeing new muscles form that I didn’t know I had! Sam does a great job of being supportive and encouraging, while also pushing me to new levels. I’d recommend Aftershock Training to anyone on a health and fitness journey.

In Feb. after a good amount of weight loss, the need to build strength and a loss in motivation to work out after going strong for a year, I decided to put myself first and gave personal training a try! I wanted to find someone who would listen to my goals and needs, was fun, motivating, but someone who would also push me. I found that person in Sam! I thought I would try it for a few months and move on, but I stayed because I love it! I see results both physically and mentally! I look forward to my training sessions and I have come a long way since late February!!

Sam is genuine, passionate about what he does, wants success for everyone, is always changing up the workouts which keeps it challenging and fun and is one of the most positive people I know. Work can be stressful so I look forward to training days because I leave feeling refreshed, motivated to do more and a much better attitude than when I arrived.

I love Sam’s motto to get uncomfortable! He reminds us getting uncomfortable leads to growth! Invest in yourself and Sam is the person to help you achieve your goals!!

If I could give Sam more than 5 stars, I would!
In 6 months, Sam has celebrated the big and small wins with me as I’ve restarted a weight loss journey with his help. He is there day in and day out, always with a smile on his face. He is there to encourage and push you to reach your goals, no matter how big or small. I love the fact that there’s not a ton of people around and the 1:1 environment he has created!
So glad I made the decision to work with Sam!
Plus, he pays attention and is always there to catch me when I fall (figuratively or literally…)

Sam is one of the best trainers I’ve worked with and I can’t recommend him enough! He brings so much passion and expertise to the table, and genuinely cares about each of his clients.
He does a great job of creating personalized workouts tailored to my specific goals. In the few months I’ve trained with him, I’ve already started to feel myself making progress towards my personal goals, and best of all, I feel my body getting stronger.

Sam is friendly, positive, funny and simply put, THE BEST! Having him as a trainer has changed my life for the better and I’ll forever be grateful. If you’re looking for a great trainer, Sam is your person!!

Sam and I used to work together in our previous careers, and when I found out he was doing personal training I knew I wanted to work with him again! Sam is smart and passionate about what he does. I never leave the gym regretting having gone, and I look forward to each workout.

Great environment, no pressure of having a bunch of strangers around, and my kids have been welcomed on the occasions they've had to tag along. Easy location off the interstate - about 15 minutes or so from anywhere in the metro.

Sam is a great trainer and even better person!
