WHAT WE DELIVER "I consider myself a strong person and athletic even though out of shape. I was looking for a personal trainer without paying an additional monthly gym membership. What I found with The Red Pit and my personal trainer, Ty, is more than I could have ever hoped for. He and the other people I work out with 3 times per week are fantastic. Everyone is happy to be there and eager to get results. One of Ty’s mottos, “push it, because that is how you see results”, is something he says when we are tired and ready to give up. It certainly inspires me to push harder and feel the burn. I have tried working out at gyms, jogging, home video workouts, etc. but none of them “stuck” with me long term. I absolutely LOVE going to The Red Pit to train and have been doing so since April 2010. I am leaner, stronger, and loving it. The workouts are always different, always challenging, and always fun. I am definitely “stuck” on The Red Pit!" Brigitte Hayes Celio "Ty" Silva is amazing! His energy, enthusiasm and passion for life-long fitness is absolutely contagious! He has changed my outlook on fitness and I have really transformed my lifestyle to revolve around healthy living. At first, I was reluctant to see a personal trainer because I was afraid he would yell at me and be mean (like biggest loser!), but Ty is so encouraging and has such a pleasant positive attitude. Once you meet him, you'll know what I mean! I actually look forward to working out with him! "After more than a year of training with Ty I can tell you that

After having two babies in 16 months, I was looking to lose my "baby weight" for good. I've trained at The Red Pit for 6 months, burned 30 pounds of fat and built 10lbs of muscle, and have never felt better! Before I started training with Ty, looking forward to working out would have been a joke, but the atmosphere is positive, encouraging and always leaves me wanting more! In 6 months, we've never repeated a training session once, which is important for me because it's easy to lose motivation when you do the same routine over and over. Ty has an extraordinary sense of each individual's limits with weights and exercises. Training is intense, yet attainable and that's how we get results! He is a great assistance in helping you to lead a healthier life at home by offering his food expertise as well. If you're looking for a healthy change, no matter where you are at now, you'll fit in and love it at The Red Pit!

I'd been going to a local gym for years, working out on my own and taking some of the group strength training classes. I also run 2-3 times a week. But the gym wasn't giving me what I needed.

I love Celio's slogan "we don't work out... we train" because that is exactly what we do. As a pilates instructor and dance coach, I understand and praise Celio's emphasis on correct posture and form through each exercise in our training. He really takes the time to make sure that each exercise is done correctly! He is inspirational and is always challenging me to new levels of fitness. Exercise has a whole new meaning when I attend The Red Pit!

training at The Red Pit is different than any workout or personal
training session I've tried. The variety of workouts means something
new for every session. There are no stagnant "same-old" routines
built toward superficial goals. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction
is like going to a school, only you get closer instruction. The Red
Pit is an ego-free atmosphere that is all about overall fitness for
everyone. Wherever you are at, training with Ty will get you somewhere
better."

"There is no doubt that training at The Red Pit has made me a better athlete, both physically and mentally. I was amazed to see improvements in both my ultra-running and my weightlifting. The Red Pit really pushed me to live up to my potential as an athlete."

I have trained at The Red Pit for the past year. During that time I have increased my endurance, flexibility, and strength. Thanks to Celio's encouragement and personal investment in my progress I have been able to do things that I have not been able to achieve on my own in the past. I did my first push-up, ran in my first 1/2 marathon, and never would I have thought of being able to dead-lift over 220lbs. These milestones have all been accomplished thanks to the variety of training at The Red Pit.

"As coach of a U13- boys select team I am looking to get an edge on training. Last season Celio came out an hour a week and offered a challenging diversity of exercises and workouts to strengthen my players both physically and mentally. His knowledge of training, ability to work effectively with the kids, and knowledge of the game of soccer made him the perfect fit for my needs. He is well accepted and respected by the team and I continue to use his services this season."

"Ty is an excellent coach that will meet your needs, however, will not baby your wants. He will push you only to make you better, after all, what else are we here for. He's also an extremely open minded person and will always take in information from other people, not one of those arrogant "I know it all and you don't, thats why you're here" mentality. He's an all around, youthful and energetic teacher. Ty is the teacher that will run with you from your level. Oh and I almost forgot to mention, he kicks butt in Jiu Jitsu."
