⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

The Ultimate Athlete class with Ropheka has been essential to maintaining my strength and fitness for sport in an approachable group atmosphere this past year. Not only does she provided strong programming and individualized feedback but she creates an accountable environment that pushes you just the right amount. On point playlists included. Just recently, I subbed for a friend's indoor volleyball team and was pleasantly surprised with how well I kept up despite not having played in several years. I attribute this mostly to the training I've been doing at Zenith. If you're looking for hands-on, consistent, progressive overload programming to get you ready for or to stay ready for sport, this is it.

Hybrid PT + Strength Training Journey

While at Zenith I have segued from a focused PT program to a hybrid PT/personal training program and into the Ultimate Athlete program. In each step of my recovery and maintenance, the guidance has been excellent. I have worked one on one, and in small groups with Ropheka, and have received knowledgable and focused attention in the process of rehabbing multiple subacute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries and deficiencies, with emphasis on optimizing form and technique. I am extremely happy with the progress I have made with her help in regards to my core strength, and mobility, in addition to joint and spine stability, and my ability to maintain a very active lifestyle confidently and without injuries.
