A Year of Knee Setbacks, Finally Moving with Less Pain

Joy T

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ropheka grew up being active outdoors and playing recreational sports but had never stepped foot in a gym. After being sidelined by several sport related injuries herself, she was inspired to gain a better understanding of how to properly train for the activities she loves, and be able to stay active and strong for a lifetime of adventure.

Ropheka earned her Associates of Applied Science Degree in Exercise & Movement Science at Lane Community College. She is a certified personal trainer and exercise therapist through ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association). Her passion is to equip others with the tools they need to thrive physically and create a healthy lifestyle for themselves. 

Outside the gym, she loves to surf, hike, float the river, and have picnics on paddleboards. She also enjoys cooking and trying new recipes from different countries -especially Thai food!

Great knowledgeable trainers. After a year of setbacks due to a knee injury, I'm finally able to move with less pain.

What Clients Are Saying About Our Personal Training

From weekend warriors to elite athletes, our clients trust Zenith for expert care and real results. Here is what they had to say about their experience with our Personal Training—tailored support that helped them move, train, and feel their best.

Strength training plus yoga - the perfect combo

I started going to Zenith with the goal of fitting in consistent strength training. The strength training program with Rophekah is fun and changes just when you're ready for more of a challenge. Zenith makes it easy to show up and get a great workout in. I am also very happy to work with Sarah on yoga and meditation. Sarah is so knowledgeable and generous in sharing her knowledge. This has been a great accompaniment to strength training and a practice that I find trickling into my everyday. I encourage anyone interested in strength, yoga, or meditation to try Zenith out!

I PR things regularly and I'm stronger than ever

I love this place and the people who work there! I've been doing personal training for about 4 years now with them, and physical therapy from time to time as needed. Everyone I have worked with has been top notch, friendly and very helpful. I rehabbed from my ACL reconstruction, and got back to normal. My chronic back issues are under control thanks to lifting heavy with Ropheka. I'm stronger than ever. I PR things regularly, and I always look forward to my sessions! Cannot recommend enough!

Back on the trails feeling strong and healthy

I've been working with the team at Zenith Performance and Wellness for several years and have had a great experience. I originally came in with shin issues that were keeping me from the long-distance trail running I enjoy. They helped me understand the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, and got me back on the trails feeling strong and healthy. Since then, they've been a trusted resource whenever issues come up during training, providing practical advice, treatment, and education that keeps me moving. I've also taken advantage of their strength training classes, which have been excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in their clients' success. Highly recommended.
