How Cooking and Personal Training Aren’t That Different

Troy Tyrell | World Business News (WBN) | May 15, 2025

Ever feel like your body’s a confusing mix of old injuries, tight muscles, and underused strength? Kind of like opening your fridge and finding half a carrot, some questionable kale, and a rock-hard slab of salmon from the freezer?

Welcome to Tsquared Personal Training—where we cook with whatever you’ve got.

Because personal training? It’s just like being a chef.

A Trainer Is a Chef for the Body

Some clients walk through my door like prime rib—great posture, athletic past, motivated. Others? More like the tough cuts—tight hamstrings, cranky knees, or old injuries that never got fully addressed.

But a chef doesn’t throw out the tough stuff. They know how to marinate, season, slow cook, and serve it hot.

Same goes for your body.

Tight hips? I’ll loosen them up with smart mobility work.
Weak glutes or sore back? I’ll activate what’s sleeping and stabilize what’s overworked.
Chronic shoulder pain? We’ll move through it safely, rebuild strength, and come out stronger.

You bring the ingredients. I bring the recipe.

The Recipe: What We Actually Do at Tsquared

Just like you wouldn’t throw raw steak on a plate and call it dinner, we don’t throw you into random workouts.

We take a structured, intelligent approach that fits your goals, body, and injuries:

Assess your current condition (think: ingredient check)
Address mobility and movement patterns (the prep work)
Add progressive strength training (your main dish)
Season with recovery & corrective movement
Track progress like a recipe you’re always improving

And the best part? We make it feel good—rewarding, safe, and even (dare I say it?) fun.

Real Clients, Real Results

I’ve worked with athletes, weekend warriors, office workers, and people who thought they were too broken to train.

"From Frozen to Fluid" – A Quick Story

When Jason, a desk-bound software developer, came in, he moved like a rusted tin man. Frozen shoulders, no core stability, and back pain every time he got up. Three months later, he was deadlifting pain-free, playing basketball again, and telling his coworkers to "get their glutes in gear."

He brought in leftovers—I served up a full-course transformation.
