He is kind, patient, understanding, hilarious, motivating, encouraging and beyond empathetic at every stage of my development. Plus, I am amazed at not only what my body looks like but I am amazed at what I have seen I am capable of doing as a result of working with him. I came to him after significant weight gain and frankly although I knew I needed to get back in the saddle I was discouraged, had lost faith in myself and frankly had given up. Pete has raised the bar for me in terms of competence needed in a great trainer - he is SO knowledgeable and informed that I have learned more about the mechanics of my eating, body and recovery as a result. I still get nervous about workouts ahead of time yet those nerves are far outweighed by my sense of accomplishment when we are done. I am incredibly grateful that I have the opportunity to work out with someone I can now trust as an athletic expert - I can reach my goals with his support and it is such a great feeling to know that. If he has an opportunity to train you, you should grab the chance. read less

He won't let you get away with NOT pushing yourself, but he's not screaming at you like a military drill sergeant either. His boot camps are positive experiences -- I highly recommend them.  But I also train with him individually on a weekly basis. We never do the same workout. It's just as challenging as the group workouts but specifically tailored to my individual needs and always fun! The best thing about Pete is, he gets your body in shape -- and somehow along the way, your spirit gets in-check too.  Honestly one of the best trainers/coaches I've ever had -- and I've had many in my life since I was a kid. I can't recommend him enough. read less

Not only is he a total badass, he has a care-giver personality: a great combination to support and motivate you through a hard workout. Every workout pushes me just past my edge. Which is perfect. He has built a group of awesome people as well. I have been going for over two years now at least once a week. read less

I started seeing Pete 1-on-1 in January 2018. He is very down to earth and straight forward. He quickly assessed where I was, and put together a customized workout plan for our sessions. We meet at a park near my house, because as Pete says "gyms are stupid." The workouts are bodyweight and hiit based. He pushes me, but doesn't use shame or yelling. He's was very empathetic when I tweaked my ankle and smoothly adjusted the workouts to crush my shoulders and arms instead.

Slowly, over the weeks I got stronger. After a month, I started joining his boot camp classes on the beach at 6am, they are very challenging, and there are people who are way fitter than I am, but I am able to adjust and do more and more every week.

I'm currently working out six days a week with this guy. I now weigh as much as I did in college, and I'm much, much stronger. I can really say this has changed my life for the better, and if you're interested at all, you should check it out. read less

I'm regularly afraid of him, while also amused by him, thanks to encouragement mantras like "you can sleep when you're dead!" and "rest while you're in the air!" Check out Sabertooth Fitness or join us at the beach, the track, the park or the stairs! You may spend 3 days with your T-Rex arms protruding out of an ice bath after your first workout, but you'll be back at it in no time... read less

Before joining 18 months ago I was in the gym lifting heavy 5+ days a week, and was strong and in good shape, but my cardio game suffered big time.

Now, fast-forward 18 months and I'm quantifiably stronger and faster than ever. It sounds unreal but I'm now lifting weights about once every 7-10 days and am still lifting at very high levels on bench, deadlift and squat and still breaking records. The 2-3 days of the Sabertooth HIIT/Tabata workouts a week have really kicked things into gear.

And, equally important now my endurance and cardio improvements are off the charts: close to running my mile time back in high school, my average HR during 5k and 10k runs has dropped about 20 BPMs (10k now? no sweat), and these Sabertooth workouts will get you tough enough to do a Tough Mudder or Spartan race.

The Sabertooth workouts are tough, but absolutely doable by people at different levels of fitness. And, most importantly Pete and the rest of the crew at the workouts are fantastic! We have fun, work hard and get results! If you're looking to get in better shape, or add some balance like myself and want to become more well-rounded with both strength and cardio, come and check Sabertooth out. read less

Best trainer EVER, never shaming, always positive, keeps you motivated (and sore) and push you to your edge. Yay!!! So glad I found this bootcamp, and this fun group of people.

the best workout in your life.  Pete Neuman makes it fun and will motivate you.  The best locations  and very nice people!

Pete is beyond the best trainer. Most supportive, knowledgeable, kind person that gets permanent results quickly. Love Pete!

I go twice a week and bring my dog. She really benefits from all the exercise and is way sharper from being in the class as an activity. She actually brought me my kneepads a couple of days ago and today I got a foot-sit despite her arthritis. read less

I'm in my early 50's, I've worked out my whole adult life, I've been training with Pete now for about 2 years, I'm in the best shape of my life, and constantly improving.  Here's why Pete is the best: 1.  Personalized - whether you're doing the group workouts or 1-on-1, Pete has the ability to assess where you're at and figure out what you need to do to improve.  2.  Knowledge - the guy just knows his stuff.  From biology to exercise physiology to nutrition to psychology, he knows how to put it all together.  3. Approach - Pete has figured out out to get maximum results. The HIIT Supramaximal training is dialed in. 4.  Variety - while the approach is dialed in, each workout is different. Pete knows how to keep it fresh.  And progressive so that you keep reaching new heights. 5.  Fun!  Even when working to your limit, Pete's natural joy and love of helping comes through and is infectious.  I've introduced tons of people to Pete's workouts, from novices to elite athletes, and every one of them agrees that the workouts are awesome.  Here's my only warning - the workouts ARE tough. But, if you can swallow your pride, and realize that everyone is a newbie at some point, and give yourself permission to maybe not be perfect from the first workout, you WILL get what you're looking for with Pete. read less
