Peak Performance Fitness
Testimonials
As a former athlete striving to make an Olympic Team, Rick was one of the hardest working and strongest athletes I have had the pleasure to work with. Rick brings an outstanding work ethic and a "quiet intensity" that is hard to replicate among elite trainers. Whenever I'm in Las Vegas I look up Rick for a 100% guaranteed intense training session
I am a pit road reporter for NASCAR on ESPN and I have a hectic schedule that sees me on the go for about 40 weekends a year. My job keeps me on my feet and running during a five-hour broadcast, every week. Being that I am on TV and in the entertainment business, it is very important to keep myself fit. I was all about keeping my body fat low and keeping my endurance level at a premium so I could perform at my peak. For over 2 ½ years, Rick did a great job in helping me meet all of these demands. He was a very instrumental part of my health and well-being. We trained on a regular basis, in the gym, with weights and doing cardio. He is very good and adjusted workouts to meet my specific goals. His workouts were fun, never boring, never monotonous and always informative.
Rick brings his experience as a Personal Trainer and Sports Coach together giving him the knowledge to study and know his clients abilities; with this, he's aware of the timing of knowing when and how much to push that client past their boundaries to gain confidence in themselves to pursue their goals.
When a workout starts with Rick, there are no interruptions or time to waste because he remains focused on his clients’ movements and use of equipment. There is no boredom either, that's if you’re up for a challenge, joining in one of Rick's boot camp group workouts. Nothing to fear, he's flexible and he'll make individual adjustments according to your abilities, and if you stick around you may experience your own challenge, like hike a mountain ridge!
I've known Rick and have trained with him for a while. My name is Jacqueline, a 54 year old who decided to embark on a journey to lose weight and become physically fit. To date I've lost 72 lbs. and my journey continues as I train with Rick, who has been there for me, encouraging me to remain positive and focused, as well as push me past my barriers and thru the ups and downs of this most difficult chapter of my life
I was at a point in my fitness program that I had reached a plateau and become bored; then I met Rick Baird. Rick is a fitness expert, not just a personal trainer. He helps monitor diet and lifestyle as well as time actually spent with him in the gym. In just under a year, Rick was able to help me bring my body fat percentage down from 18% to 11%. I’m in better shape at 39 than I was at 29! I wish I had been introduced to Rick sooner … too many wasted years at the gym with no direction!
I've know Rick for over 7 years and I can say with great confidence that he is one of the hardest working guys in our industry. He is always on the cutting edge of new and important fundamentals of training. His vast experience on and off the field of play allows him to provide the most efficient workout to meet your goals and maximize your potential whether you’re looking to shed a few pounds or train for the NFL combine.
Rick was my coach while in high school track. I feel that I got in the best shape in a short amount of time while being his athlete. Rick dedicates his life to learning how to become the best trainer for each person he coaches. He has a vast wealth of knowledge and is ready to help anyone achieve the fitness goals they dream.
I was entering my freshman year of high school. I expected to be starting on the varsity baseball team as a freshman, but I wasn’t in the right shape. My strength levels were not where they needed to be in order to play varsity athletics as a freshman. It was my dad’s decision to put me with a personal trainer, and Rick Baird was his choice. His past credentials were the selling point, and working out with him was even more of a selling point. I dropped fifteen pounds in the first month and a half, and then put it back on as muscle. Instead of being chunky, I was now a strapping young man due to the efforts of Rick Baird. If I hadn’t been pushed through Ricks training methods like he pushed me I would never be where I am today physically. His workouts were tough, and they literally changed me physically and mentally. I am now playing college baseball and I plan to be playing professional baseball in the next year or two. I can set my goals that high because the work Rick put in with me as a fourteen and fifteen year old. I am nineteen years old now, and I still train the same way Rick had me train because it was affective in so many ways. Rick knows how to get the best out of his clients.
