My name is Steve Elman, and I’ve been working with Keith Colby and Chris Larson of Colby Conditioning since early in 2008. 
"Keith Colby may be the most motivated guy I know in the fitness field. I have had the opportunity to work with the best and I have never seen anyone as eager to learn as Keith. Keith's mission is to learn all he can to deliver the best service possible to his clients. When someone calls me and ask for the name of a good trainer the first name on my list is Keith Colby."

"Keith is one of the top young trainers in the country;
Men's Journal seems to think so too."

"Coach Keith is a consummate professional always striving to create the perfect workout. Keith tailors my workouts with the specific goals I have and takes into consideration some injuries that have plagued me over the years. The workouts are geared to strengthen the weak areas that have contributed to the injuries. After working out on my own for almost 30 years and trying almost every workout imaginable, I have never achieved the same results as with Keith in such short period of time. Keith’s formula of exercise and diet has worked for me - I feel stronger, my flexibility has improved and I look good. I consider Keith my overall health coach."
Roger Torre
Systems Consultant
"I have been a competitive marathoner and triathlete for 10 years. Since working with Keith, I have been able to compete injury free, my speed and power on the bike has increased, I have been able to break the 7min per mile barrier, and my recovery from races and hard effort workouts is vastly improved. The workout sessions are educational, challenging and fun. Keith has shown me and taught me to understand my weaknesses, and how to avoid compensations. In the past 4 years since working out with Keith I have succeeded in winning my age group for all of the triathlons I have raced and I have qualified for nationals 2x. As a personal trainer, triathlon coach, and pilates instructor, keith has helped make me a better instructor."
Ali Winslow
"Keith is the ideal fitness/strength coach for busy professionals who are prepared to work hard. ...Intelligent expenditure of effort, not hours on the treadmill, is what Keith is all about... Since we have been with Keith, we have been getting better results while spending less time in the gym."
Charles & Alicia Rounds
"Keith is one of the most dedicated personal trainers
I know within the fitness industry. His meticulous
program design and continuing education place him as
one of the top trainers in the country."
Steve Cabral, CSCS, CPT
"I want to thank you for all you’ve done over the past year. My strength and flexibility have returned to the level they once were, while we are still in the early phase of successful training sessions. It’s very clear that staying with your approach will soon put me in the best shape of my life, even at age 46."
"As an athlete throughout college, I’ve sought to maintain the level of fitness that I’d attained through training camps during baseball and hockey seasons. This became a greater challenge after starting my own company. It is quite difficult to find a consistent and productive method to training while meeting the needs of clients, employees, the daily demands of a business, as well as squeezing in time to have a personal life."
"Workouts with you have been efficient, challenging and unique, while the times you offer throughout the week, with options for private and semi-private sessions, have allowed me to comfortably address the needs of my professional life and fulfill the necessary number of sessions to meet our conditioning goals."
"Your approach to fitness and strength is completely different than the programs I’d been raised on during my athletic career. At first I was not sure exactly how I would benefit. As I started to understand your approach, my mind and body began to adapt to this unique method. Everything fell into place. On a recent trip to Italy, I hiked much of the Mediterranean coast. It was quite a long distance, while more than half of the terrain was quite challenging. I breezed through this journey with very little effort. My legs, back and mind had not been this strong and confident in quite some time."
"I don’t trust just anyone with my body when it comes to my health. I had back surgery a few years ago and worked with one or two physical therapists and trainers prior to meeting you. Your present knowledge coupled your hunger for learning and staying up on the latest techniques, has benefited me tremendously. Your experience with injured athletes is something that I had sought out in a trainer. The results that I’ve seen of your work with professional athletes, triathletes, marathoners and people like myself who want to remain athletically active and competitive, has convinced me of the true effectiveness of your programs."
"You have a unique and confident approach, which you present to clients with a high level of enthusiasm and consistency. Your programs are complete, with suggestions for off day workouts and post workout recovery. You tailor sessions to each individual. Your newsletters on diet and training philosophy are effective and vital. Every moment is used efficiently. As long as a client is committed to the program, the results can be tremendous."
"For those of us coming off of major injuries, your approach has given us back the active lives we were at risk of losing without taking action. Thank you for all that you’ve done. I’m completely committed to your philosophy and highly recommend that others in my situation consider working with you."
"Yours truly,"
Richard W Schmid
"I know we've only been training together for a week but I had to write
and tell you that I've already lost 6 pounds! Following the
fat loss nutrition plan my cravings are now
leaning towards broccoli rather than bread and cheese. My ferocious
appetite has subsided in the past few days and already see huge change
in my waistline. Now weight is dropping off of me and I feel great. My
last work out was awesome! With the help of my protein shake I had
tons of energy to push myself hard through all phases of the workout.
Can't wait to see what I look like in 11 weeks. Thanks Coach."
Ryan Holohan
"Keith Colby is an outstanding trainer, coach and advisor who will help
You achieve your goals and exceed your own expectations. He has a
Unique approach that integrates strength training, flexibility, balance,
Post workout recovery and diet. His style is friendly, supportive and
Encouraging, which complements the structured and very challenging
Training program he established for me. This combination has helped to
Push me to perform at levels I didn't think were possible."
"I'm 50 years old and thought my long distance running days were over.
Then in January 2006 I started training with Keith twice a week. I ran
This year's Boston Marathon in 3:09, far exceeding my expectations and
Performance last year. I felt fantastic at the end of the race, had a
Rapid recovery, and had absolutely no injuries during my training. I
Just finished a sprint triathlon and came in 5th in my age group. And
I'm competing in a 1.5 mile swim next month. Keith's training has
enabled me to compete in these challenging events and get in the best
shape ever. If you truly want to achieve
breakthrough performance, stay healthy and feel great, you need to train
with Keith. He is outstanding."

"Late in my career after multiple knee surgeries it was unclear If I would ever be able to skate again, after a summer working with Keith Colby I was able to return to the ice"

"This note is long overdue! I just wanted to thank you (Again!!!) for working with me. I’ve expressed this before—I am very well pleased and happy with our progress. Only after 4 sessions (and the green nutrition phase diet you suggested), did I notice that I was down two pounds (am now at 108) and was able to fit into a pair of “skinny” jeans! My tummy is not only flat, but it’s strong—I love feeling lean."
"I am still amazed at how much guidance and information you pass along-- in AND out of the training room. Thanks for sharing—I can’t rave enough about you to family and friends. Thanks again for your patience in taking the time to show me how to do each and every movement correctly. I never imagined there were so many options! This is one of the smartest decisions I have made in investing towards an optimal level of fitness and health. Can’t wait to run my Nova Scotia race in May and kick some caboose. Looking forward to my next session!"
"Cheers,"
Tran Luu
"I have worked with many personal trainers and coaches in the past. Keith is undoubtedly one the most knowledgeable and passionate trainers I have had the pleasure to work with. If you are looking for cutting edge training techniques Keith is the one."
Aaron
Founder/ President, Perfect Postures
"About a year ago, my 45 year old son said to me, “Dad, stand up straight; pull your shoulders back. You look like an old man!” A day or two later, as I walked past a large store window, I glanced over and saw my reflection and yes, there I was, stooped over, definitely like an old man.
Since my twenties, I’ve been telling myself, “You need to get in shape.” As each new decade came and went, it was always, “Oh, I must get in shape before I’m 30.” “Oh, I must get in shape before I’m 40.” And so it continued. Well, the decades continued to pass and when my son made his startling comment, I was 70 years old, stooped over, all kinds of aches and pains, struggling to tie my shoe laces. It was then I decided “It’s time!”
"I have been working out religiously for the past 25 years. Prior to training with Keith my mind set was always "more is better" and, thus, my primary focus was on quantity (working out 6 or 7 days a week and sometimes twice a day). I did see results, however, as I got older my energy level during my workouts was weakening, my recovery time was not as quick and my physical gains were low in relation to the amount of time I was dedicating to my workouts (6 days a week with a couple of days of training twice in the same day). It soon became apparent I needed help and needed to examine the quality of my workout routine.
I was explaining my dissatisfaction with my workouts to my indoor cycling trainer coach, Ali Winlsow, and she suggested that I contact Keith Colby who at the time was training both her and her husband. I have been around gyms for many years and was always skeptical about having a personal trainer. I was never very impressed with the workouts I saw trainers putting their clients through. My view was that people who used a personal trainer did so because they needed to be motivated or they just liked to have someone to talk to during their workouts. I did not need motivation nor did I want a "buddy" to talk to. Ali said Keith would not only motivate me but more importantly he would educate me and put me through workouts that I have never done before. She said he is fantastic and guaranteed that I would like Keith's training product. She was right.
Keith showed me a wide variety of exercises that improved my strength, endurance and flexibility. He also gave me great advice on improvements I could make to my daily diet. Overall, I achieved the lean body mass I was seeking (about 8% body fat) without sacrificing my strength and endurance. I also had more energy during my workouts as well as throughout the rest of the day.
Keith was the first and only personal trainer I have used and I am
fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from him. I meet a lot
of people in the gym and they often ask my thoughts on personal
trainers. My response without hesitation is always "Well, if you're
serious about it you should contact this trainer I have used - Keith
Colby. The routines are tailored made for you and it's not the same old
stuff you see other people doing or that you read about. You want
results Keith is the guy."
Kelly Strong
"I started working with Keith after a year of physical therapy due to a snowboarding injury and several years of inactivity. Through a systematic evaluation of my health, injury and discussion of my goals Keith designed and exercise program to not only help me recover from my injury but to also prepare me to achieve my goals which included returning to snowboarding, wrestling, climbing and martial arts. Less than a year later I have returned to the activities that I love and am performing better than I have in years. Keith’s programs and coaching have allowed me to feel better on a day to day basis while improving my posture, flexibility, endurance and increasing my overall strength."
"Keith not only helped me move past my injury and get in shape but also helped me redefine my diet, my approach to exercise and my overall approach to personal health. Keith helped me realize that your health should always come first and should be the most single important goal of every day (a hard learned lesson after years of over work, inactivity and constant stress that led to injury and chronic pain). I continue to work with Keith (and will do so into the future) to improve my body, mind and health."
James Coon
"...If one is to be a master at their craft, they must possess a drive, a boundless passion and the sheer determination to be the best. Keith is such a person. Whoever trains with Keith can be assured of training with someone who is restless in their pursuit of excellence. His passion is your gain..."
Joseph Tokarz, DC
Chiropractic Physician
"I signed up to train with Keith Colby three years ago when I was 71 years old. I wanted someone who could work with older people with cardiac problems, concentrating on balance and strength as opposed to cardio. Keith designed a program especially for me that stressed core strength and balance. The results have been extraordinary. I feel my posture, balance and certainly my strength have improved significantly."
"I particularly appreciate Keith’s style of challenge and encouragement. He has been able to get me beyond my personal goals with this style and his warmth and friendliness have made each session a pleasure. He deserves all the accolades he gets as a very knowledgeable trainer."
John Nelson
"I have been working with you for a few years now and I am feeling much
Stronger and healthier. I really like the methods you use for training.
Building my core strength and doing interval exercise has made me more fit
Than in the past when I was primarily doing long-slow distance running or
swimming. It has been a pleasure to work with you. Your attention to detail has kept me injury free while significantly enhancing my strength and General fitness. My training sessions are excellent because you are
Patient and explain things well. I work hard from the beginning to the end
Of the session and I feel that I have worked to capacity, although I don't
Feel overly exhausted. I like your advice on nutrition; it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!"
Dennis Kasper
"I was brought up in a professional sports family, my father was a former pro-hockey player and my ex-spouse a former pro-football player; I am very accustomed to being around “intense” training rituals. I have seen my share of trainers in this regard, however, none can surpass the passion and most up-to-date knowledge that Keith Colby brings to his sessions. He custom-tailors his workouts for each individual and gives it 110%! If you don’t try him for yourself you are seriously missing out. I cannot recommend Keith highly enough."
Bette McKenzie
"I have been a client of Keith Colby’s for about a year. I am 49 and best described athletically as an aging jockette with typical injury remnants of a misspent youth playing various competitive sports through college. I suppose you could say that I “still like to leave it on the field” when I compete, although at 49, I need to be scraped up off the field on occasion."
"I work out with Keith during the week and ride and jump my horses on the weekend. I would not feel safe or confident if I did not train during the week. Keith was recommended to me by my former trainer of twelve years (who wed and moved out of state a year ago). Keith is educated in his profession – his knowledge inspires confidence and trust. Keith is intense – he is serious about my training and sets high standards. Keith is curious – he is always thinking about new ways to get the most out of training and keeps workouts fresh and interesting. Finally, Keith is a fabulous coach – he leads by example, is invested in my progress and is very kind."
"I recommend him without hesitation or reservation." Barbara G.
"I just got back from my annual weeklong ski trip, this year to Vail, Colorado. It is amazing how much my 3 times per week workout program with you has improved my strength and stamina for really tough skiing. I found that my leg strength and cardiovascular fitness were much improved over that past year. I could use my leg strength more effectively than any time in recent years. As a 63 year old I was amazed that I could keep up with my nephews who are in there 20's and ski at a competitive level in college. One amazing aspect of this was that we were skiing at around 10,000 feet or higher elevation. I found that I handled this with ease. I also found that the warm-up program you use was extremely useful in loosening up for skiing everyday. I was generally a bit stiff in the mornings until I warmed up. the warm-up program loosened me up and got my muscles ready for another hard day on the slopes."
"Thank for all of your help."
Dennis Kasper
"No pain and a gain - I have been working out with Keith Colby for a year now and I wake up in the morning without the lower back pain that has plagued me over the years. With Keith's conditioning system including nutritional guidance, I feel better, look better, have gone down 2 belt notchs, have lost 15lbs in 3 weeks following the Colby Complete Conditioning Fat Loss Plan, and I also can do chin ups with weight Attached to a belt. At 51 years old - I can keep up with my younger friends. Keith is a dedicated professional and like any serious professional keeps up with the latest in fitness. Keith is my fitness coach."
Roger D. Torre
Systems Consultant
"Thank you Keith, for all you've done, in bringing my body to this level so far. Except for the accident, this season of skiing has been incredible as I've been able to challenge myself over and over again at age 47. No conditions, mountains, vertical drops or bumps have slowed me down this year. I can hang with almost anyone. Out of control skiers are another issue..."
"I continue to highly recommend people check into you and your program. The benefits have once again carried me through what could have been a disastrous situation."
"Thanks again, Keith."
Rich Schmid
"I have been training with Keith Colby for over 5 years now so working out with him twice a week has been an integral part of my fitness regimen. His workout programs have not only helped me become leaner, but have helped increase my flexibility, balance and overall strength. So when I learned I was pregnant, I was very interested in maintaining a certain level of fitness, but at the same time, was concerned about my safety and the health of my baby. Well, 9 months and a healthy baby boy later, I couldn't be happier with my decision to continue training with Keith throughout my entire pregnancy. The workout programs he designed were a perfect happy medium."
"The exercises were challenging and helped maintain my fitness level, but did not put excessive strain on my body or raise my heartbeat to a level that made me uncomfortable. He was conscious of avoiding exercises where I was flat on my back for an extended period of time and of course, exercises on my stomach. Some days I felt better than others but he was always supportive and willing to adjust the workout accordingly."
"I had been told by numerous friends
and doctors that most often, women who are in good shape and continue an
exercise program throughout their pregnancy have smoother labor and
deliveries and recoveries. My experience tells me this is absolutely
true and I can only attribute it to my workouts with Keith. My son is 2
months old and Keith already has me on a great program to get me back to
my pre-pregnancy shape. Thanks to his help during the pregnancy, I don't
have too far to go!"
Wendy Krayer
"Keith you really go above and beyond to offer personal "coaching" to your clients. Much more than "training!"
Allison Turner
"My back pain stopped within 2 sessions working with Colby Conditioning."
Christine Boyle
"My groin pain and back pain of 20 years is gone thanks to the exercises you taught me, My neck pain has improved considerably and the rib pain that I have had since 2002 has completely gone away. I enjoyed the personable attention and help I received. I have benefited greatly from your program, Thanks Again."
