Robert Schulz is a military veteran. He began at PFT in 2018 and has become the head trainer at the Stockton location.
Throughout his youth Robert struggled with weight loss and at 17 years old he weighed 245 lbs. It was then that he decided to make a change. He dedicated his time and energy into a healthy lifestyle, in the pursuit to enlist into the United States Navy. That commitment led to him shedding 50 lbs within the first year. After that, his discipline only got stronger and he continued his weigh loss journey. During his career in the Navy, he started body building and began training his associates. He would write workouts for them, shared his nutritional programs and meal prepping. Robert realized, he had a passion for helping others in fitness and health.
After being honorably discharged from the Navy in 2018 he moved back to California. His friend was a member of PFT in Stockton and invited Robert to try a class. He continued to go to the classes and showed an interest to the owner of becoming a trainer. About a month later Robert began training under Carl Hultgren and the rest is history. Robert was recently diagnosed with desiderative disk disease due to trauma his body endure during his service. Even with this ongoing injury it may have slowed him down, but I will never stop his passion for fitness. He continues to keep moving forward, modifying when he needs to. Robert hopes this will help inspire people, because in life sometimes things get tough. Sometimes you are forced to slow down and re-evaluate, but you never stop moving forward. You always need to push yourself to be better every day, in every aspect of your life.
The people are AMAZING, they were totally accepting of my lack of ability. they never made me feel like what I could do wasn't enough. If you are looking to get healthy and need a push this is the place to go!!
I am so happy that I found PFT! It is nice to have a great gym so close to home. The workouts are efficient, and very effective. The community is really great. And the owner, Michael, is very knowledgeable, like-able, and fun💪😊💪😊
One word: motivation! As someone who struggles to work out on my own, I love the community, motivation, and accountability the PFT family provides. The trainers are very knowledgable and approachable - Michael answers all of my questions about form and kinesiology with a smile :) The West Sac branch just moved to a new space and it's rad. I'd recommend this gym to people of any fitness level, as the workouts are easy to adapt to your needs.
