I look forward to working with you again."

"What a great addition to our event! These TDE workshops MUST be present at every such conference. These people – Todd and “his crew” – bring us movement and knowledge in a fun way! Their positive encouragements and ways of getting us moving are the best way to start the day – I laughed and exercised in equal balance, and just had a great time overall. Please know that having these “Energizers” at the conference is a real asset. Their reputation is far-reaching!"

SPORTS PERFORMANCE & FITNESS WORKSHOP EVENTS
"I just wanted to let you know that it was an honor to meet you at the conference...it truly added a lot to my experience in Las Vegas! I often refer to you as the "Michael Jordan of Personal Trainers" to my peers. I thoroughly enjoyed your classes and look forward to meeting with you again in the future. Thanks again for taking the time out to meet me and just for being an inspiration in the industry!"
- Mike Robinson, ACE Symposium 2007 attendee

"After going to your website, and seeing ALL that you do (similar background to me, somewhat speaking)…I was PUMPED up!!! I came across an AFPA brochure that was mailed to me, and your name was featured as one of the guest presenters at the Myrtle Beach, SC AFPA Conference…I was all over that…so what if I have to drive 8 hours by myself …it’ll be good… what do you call it? “blue sky” time…AND IT WAS!!! I am thankful that I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to attend Great Trainer-Great Business, Train the Joe’s like the Pro’s (even though my hamstring wasn’t cooperating after the second relay race…dang it! I was having SO MUCH fun!!), Sports Performance Skills and Drills for All Clients, BOOT CAMP, Going for Greatness! (the BEST seminar!!! By far…I almost cried!!! …the inspirational messages you brought to the table touched me more than you know!!), and your Boot Camps from Start to Finish.

Todd Durkin, I think…no, I know that I have found my new professional “hero”…YOU!! You’re inspiration, your enthusiasm for ALL that you do, your knowledge, your energy, your intensity, your passion, your wanting to help others to be the BEST that he or she can be and…your 3-words “AND THEN SOME!!!” have brought a new energy…a new drive in me to GO FOR being the absolute BEST that I can be! You know, for so long in all that I do, I’ve always strived to be “perfect!” In some ways, that has been good…yet, in many ways that has been my obstacle…and when you simply said “good is sometimes good enough”…wow, did that hit me like a dagger…thank you. The two days I spent with you has helped me MORE THAN you could know. Thank you! You are AWESOME! And then some!"
- Alexis Gaston, BS, LMT, 2008 AFPA attendee

"I had the opportunity to go to one of your seminars last year at the ACE convention in Vegas. It was the single most beneficial personal training seminar that I’ve ever been to! I love your energy, enthusiasm and positive attitude!"
- Sherri Rothenberger, independent trainer

"I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the workshop on Sports Performance that you presented for us this weekend in NYC. Knowing that you fit the workshop in between your family vacation and your trip back to the West Coast, I just wanted you to know that I really appreciated the time that you took to share your information with us. Although I learned so many things during the weekend, the thing that impressed me most was your ability to integrate so many facets of your beliefs and your life into your profession. Your holistic approach to fitness and the incorporation of your background (athletics, kinesiology, yoga, Pilates, spirituality, massage techniques, etc...) into what you are doing with your clients, was remarkable to me. Although many people might say that fitness is a way of life, it isn't often that you find someone who truly exemplifies that statement. You do, and that truly inspired me. Thank you!"
- Kelli (O'Brien) Corasanti

"I am a trainer/instructor who attended your panel discussion at the IDEA conference. I also then took your Train the Joes like the Pros class. I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that class was one of the best classes I have ever taken. From every perspective, trainer, group exercise and participant that class was fun, hard and challenging. You were incredibly motivating, intense and inspiring and I could see and feel your passion for what you do. I even wrote down quite a few quotes that you said during the class. You are exactly the kind of trainer and teacher I hope to be. I hope I get the chance to take one of you workshops in the future and attend another workout when I visit San Diego again. Thank you for inspiring me."
- Sara Johnson, MS, CSCS, Fitness Specialist & Group Ex. Coordinator

"Hello Todd, my name is David Pitts. I had the privilege of meeting you and attending a couple of your classes this past weekend at the idea fitness convention! I asked you a couple of questions at the SPRI booth toward helping me with ideas for training young athletes, primarily football players (those band exercises were INTENSE). Also, your "train the Joes like the pros" class was the best that I have taken. I guess I just wanted you to know that you inspire me to be the best that I can in a way that nobody has ever done before. I now have a COMPLETELY different perception on how personal training should be done. I just wanted to thank you and ask you if there were any other ways that I can get some more ideas from you in the future (I purchased a few of your DVD's already and can’t wait to watch them and put those ideas to use). Thanks again!"
- David Pitts

"I was so inspired by Todd and his passion. He instantly woke up a room FULL of people with his energy."
- Amy Watt, IDEA conference attendee and ACE-certified personal trainer

"I was at your IDEA Session Great Trainer-Great Business and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation. I've been in the Fitness Industry since 1984 and feel like I have the ability to do more than I've done with the knowledge I have and you really have inspired me to sit down and establish a plan. Thanks for all your great information!"
- Nancy Nelson, Director Health & Fitness, Sherwood Regional Family YMCA

"I just wanted to let you know that Karen, Lisa and I enjoyed connecting with you at the cocktail party. You are so easy to approach and fun to talk to. We also observed your Train the Joes Like the Pros class yesterday, and I was impressed with the creative and challenging ideas that you presented. But maybe even more importantly, I appreciated that your staff was there and that they filtered through the masses to ensure all was well. I’ve never seen that much genuine concern and attention to detail in the conference classes. Yes, I know, most who attend are fit enough to participate, but that you had your crew at attention was really impressive and it warmed my heart. As a team, you demonstrated the crux of what the fitness industry is about, genuine/authentic concern for others. Excellent work Todd! We look forward to our continued affiliation and assisting you to bring your new DVDs out to the front lines."
- Tish Monroe, Chief Operations Officer, DSWFitness

"I have so many advanced options to incorporate with my clients – all from Todd’s workshop. Todd makes learning interactive, fun & very dynamic – just like his sports and conditioning programs. This course is a must for every serious fitness professional, regardless of what type of clients they train."
- Stacy Farrar, Fitness professional

"This was the best combination of hands on/lecture style class I have attended. I was able to learn something every minute and I have greatly improved the quality of my training in just two days!"
-Michael Maio, certified personal trainer

"Your program was absolutely the BEST workshop that I have ever attended. I found it mentally and physically challenging!"
- Jonathan Hart, Assistant Director of G.I.T. FIT Programs

"This workshop was of great benefit to my staff and me. My main goal for my staff was the provision of training tools to engage our patrons and assist our Marines in attaining their fitness goals. These past few weeks following the workshop, I have observed my staff employing your training strategies with enthusiasm. They have created full functional strength/plyometric circuits and integrated SAQ training techniques within client's programs. The combination of didactic and practical instruction gave them not just the tools, but confidence in their ability to utilize them. I have heard phrases like "I don't remember the last time I skipped!" and “I didn't know I could hurt there!". Needless to say, we have a few sore patrons, but they keep coming back for more!"
- Tanya Hewitt, Training & Workshops Coordinator - Camp Lejeune, NC

"Todd brought a high level of excitement into his material because of his energy. He makes it fun, he keeps it moving, he keeps it simple and he has the ability to teach what he loves!"
- Recent ‘Training & Conditioning for Sports Performance’ attendee

"I would recommend this work to anyone involved in bodywork – including trainers and those not directly involved with massage. Todd is a master at his craft!"
- David Weck, BOSU Balance Trainer inventor

"Let me start off to say 4 years ago, I was 270+ lbs. and @ 32-34% body fat. I was calling myself a personal trainer and people would ask advice but with good reason would have a reluctant look on their face. Long story short, I am now 175 lbs and 12 -14% body fat. Losing 60 lbs in the last 5+ months. Anywho, I have been in the fitness industry for the last 12 years and been to many seminars/conferences in that time. You are hands down the
best presenter I have ever seen. Not to mention I was so stoked with doing the Train Like Pros workout. Not because it was new to me but because I did it and held my own. I am signed up for three of your classes tomorrow and can't wait! I called my wife to say, "I wanna be like Todd when I grow up". Ha! Keep up the great work!"
- Bo Taylor

"My name is Neil Mallinson. I am a personal trainer/CSCS/group ex instructor and have a passion for fitness. I want to tell you about my experience at Fitness Quest 10 yesterday (May 8). I have been meaning to come down to Fitness Quest 10 for the last year or more. Being a busy fitness professional, I was not able to until this week. I told myself "make time." I called ahead and spoke to Julie (the manager on duty). I told her I was a Master Gravity and TRX trainer and knew Todd from working at trade shows and seeing him at the Rock Church . She told me to come down and workout anytime that day. I knew the Fitness Quest 10 philosophy based on some literature I had read about it in a magazine or newspaper. I embraced that philosophy when I read it. SO... all I needed to do now was go check out the facility. I live about 15 miles north of the gym and finally took the time to drive that 15 miles last night. I walked into the gym (the newer section at the end of the shopping center), and was immediately greeted by 2 smiling faces behind the front desk. Julie being one of them. Julie was very welcoming, showed me around the facility, showed me pictures of Todd's newest addition to his family etc... She also introduced me to a few of your staff, all who were also very welcoming. Just that alone was worth the drive down to CMR. I will also say that the facility is amazing! Over the last 17 years, I have been to gyms all over the country and world, Worked in gyms on the east and west coast, but this gym has a unique feel and energy to it. Fitness Quest 10 is inviting and comfortable and makes you want to work out. The trainers are professional, well dressed, clean and have a passion for what they do. I live by this same code and I appreciated seeing this in my fellow professionals.

I worked out for close to 2 hours all the while enjoying the atmosphere and all the toys available. I worked out/ trained Fred, one the interns at FQ10. He is a good trainer and wants to learn which makes for the best trainers once they get certified and know what they are doing with clients.

I want to thank you and your staff for creating such a great place for training. I loved the facility and hope to come back for another great workout soon! I left there with a renewed passion for what I do everyday. I can't thank you enough for that!"
- Neil Mallinson CSCS
