Is Your Body Holding You Back?
As hunters, we know the wilderness demands peak physical condition. But "age", past injuries, and a busy life can make it tough to stay in shape. Are you struggling with any of these?
Waking up stiff and sore, even after a "normal" day of work?
Feeling winded doing simple tasks like climbing stairs or
carrying groceries?Having to take an "easy" day halfway through your trip due to an old injury coming back or having legs heavier than lead?
Noticing your shoulder/neck stiffness making it harder to draw your bow or climb into a tree stand?
Feeling limited in how far you can hike or how much weight you can carry?
Experiencing nagging aches and pains that just won't go away, even after going through traditional physical therapy, chiropractic, or massage therapy?
Worrying about being a liability vs an asset to your hunting group? Anxious about actually getting an animal on the ground and having to pack it out?
Feeling like you're "getting old" and losing your edge in the wilderness?
Step into the wilderness with confidence. The Wilderness Fitness Institute empowers you to conquer any challenge.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Will M.
"I worked with Rob for about 4-5 months. I’ve worked out my whole life, but Rob’s program put me on track with some of the things I had been lacking in my workouts and helped me with some nagging injuries. I enjoyed the motivation, personal touch, and positive feedback throughout my time in the program. Honestly, even though I was in good shape going into the program, my entire outlook about the things I can accomplish over the next 20 years has changed."
Tif T.
"I took Rob’s Women's Health course because I wanted to target those issues, specifically how weak my bladder was from having kids and I not only met all of my goals in that program, he helped me to completely blow them out of the water. I don't pee when I do hard activities anymore and I'm so thankful because it was mentally debilitating for me. Also, for women who are concerned about having a man help with women's health, don't be. He was completely respectful and when he didn't know something, he worked his ass off to figure it out. I never had a single question or concern go unanswered. You'll never find a PT that cares more or will find a way to help you as much as Dr. Rob does."
Chris B.
"In January 2024, I started the fully guided program with Rob to help with back, knee, and neck pain. I learned exercises, and stretches to help with that pain, and also how to program a complete fitness and nutrition plan for my whole body. I've been pain free ever since and haven't had to pay a chiropractor ever again!! If something is hindering your ability to stay active, this program could help you too."
Phil W.
"Dr. Rob went out of his way to ensure I reached my goals!! You aren’t paying just for someone’s coaching videos, you have the 1-on-1 coaching for feedback and personalized feedback. He truly cares about the success of his patients!"

"A great guy that really pays attention to your needs and capabilities. He will help you become a better version of yourself! This is a before and after picture of myself. Stronger, more mobile and overall feeling a lot better!"
Michelle F.
"Rob at Wilderness Physical Therapy has worked so hard to help me with my pelvic floor. I never thought a guy would be able to help, but Rob is so knowledgeable and helped me build a workout routine in order to strengthen and help my pelvic floor. He's open to any questions you might have and works extremely hard to answer them! If you need help with your pelvic floor, I'd highly recommend working with Rob and going through his program. "
