More About Coach Petrus

I am a W.I.T.S. Certified Personal Trainer. I have been training individuals one-on-one as well as groups for over 10 years. I have experience coaching people from all ages and experience levels. I train people from fitness novices to competitive athletes. I also provide specialized training for quarterbacks and other throwing athletes.

As a youngster I was a multi sport athlete playing football, ice hockey, soccer etc. I played football competitively for 10+ years including semi professionally in Germany, Italy and Finland. Today as a 40 something ex athlete my best days are over. However, I can still run 7 minute mile, deadlift over 400lbs and do 20+ strict chin-ups at 195lbs.

Always start with solid warm up. Core of the session will be based on client's goals. Whether your goal is to improve overall fitness, lose weight or sport specific straining, I will customize each session based on your needs. I will provide all the equipment needed for the session including weights (barbell and dumbbells, TRX, kettlebells, resistance bands, slams balls, yoga mat etc. No gym access needed!

Client Reviews

Coach Petrus was very good in explaining the process to my son but myself as well. Would defiantly recommend and will use him in the future.

My son has been taking lessons from Coach Petrus throughout the year and we have seen clear improvement. Coach Petrus focuses on the technical aspects of being a quarterback in our lessons and that has really sharpened my son's skill set. I am proud of my son for willingly and excitedly committing to the extra work and very grateful to find such a professional, committed, and capable coach. He is definitely worth the money.

He is good

Great first session, connected well with my son and brought a lot of positive energy along with clear guidance on ways to improve.

Great initial session. He worked with my 9 year old son and made it a fun and jam packed hour. We went over a lot of coaching points and he taught me what to look for when working with my son. Highly recommend!

No wonder I was having so much trouble teaching my son who to throw a football! Amazing how much my son improved after a single session. Coach Rus is great!

Very great teacher. If you're needing help with technique in any exercise then this is your guy

Coach Rus was able to dissect my throwing errors immediately, pinpointing issues with my technique and helping me shape my form. Would recommend!

Great Coach highly recommended

Coach Rus was fantastic. He is knowledgable and knows how to impart that knowledge to young players. Will definitely be working with him again!

He is very knowledgeable about QB's and is well prepared to provide that information to those he coaches. I played football (not QB). I saw how our players did and I learned more about what they should have been doing in an hour than what I learned during my playing career. He provided my grandson with techniques and exercises to help him developed good technique and muscle memory. Highly recommend him as a coach.

Coach Russ first lesson with our 9 year old was exactly what we were looking for! He is very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Coach Russ’ knowledge of playing QB showed in the session. Looking forward to his training for our 9 year old aspiring to play QB! Thanks Coach Russ!

Highly recommend this Solid coach very knowledgeable and great at breaking down the skills for my son to understand!

Coach Petrus aka Coach Rus is an AMAZING coach! He immediately identified the areas to target for my son in order to improve his technique as starting QB. With Coach Rus' training, my son has transformed his mechanics to achieve optimum performance in his delivery. Coach Rus is very thorough and precise in formulating a plan to ensure my son will continue to excel & grow in his development on & off the field. I strongly recommend Coach Rus, he is 100% the real deal for any athlete looking to maximize their skills. I look forward to having my son work with Coach Rus throughout his football journey. THANK YOU COACH!

Coach Rus is extremely patient, and has a way of relating proper technique in a way the athlete understands. Our son has come a LONG way in a very short time!

Awesome Coach

Coach Petrus is amazing! I hired him for several sessions with my younger brother who is a freshman quarterback. He was extremely knowledgable, providing excellent feedback on my brother's technique and teaching him drills that would be effective in perfecting his motion. Coach Petrus was easy to communicate with and worked around our schedule, even driving out to Buda to do training sessions in our neighborhood park. After just a few sessions my brother saw immediate improvement and became more confident in his position. I would highly recommend Coach Petrus!

Coach Petrus is top notch! After one session my son has already learned so much about QB mechanics and was really excited and motivated for future sessions. I recommend Coach Petrus for anyone looking to take their QB skills to the next level (beginner level to advanced level).

Coach Rus was awesome. He was totally professional, very positive, and made my kid want to keep coming back for more! My son has done different lessons for different things and this was by far his favorite. We Have nothing but positive things to say.

We're just two practices in but you can tell it's already making a difference. Coach Petrus is great with players of all ages and super positive. We plan on using him for a while.

Coach Russ is professional and personable and relates well to kids and adults alike. My 12 year old son is inspired, motivated and committed to learning all that Coach has to teach him. Coach is experienced, knowledgeable and resourceful. He pays close attention to the athletes natural abilities and focuses on improving those along with implementing new strategies for increasing his strengths on the field both physically and mentally.

Excellent Coach! Very technical and knowledgeable. My son loved his lesson!

Coach "Russ" has already made a difference in my sons throwing after just two lessons. He's very patient with kids and is able to find the most valuable areas of improvement quickly. Instruction and communication are great. Highly recommended.

Coach Perry’s was great today. We switched up from our normal QB drills to wide receiver with our 8 year old and his attention to detail was fantastic as always.

Coach Rus has done an excellent job teaching the fundamentals to my son. He knows when to add additional techniques to his coaching while preserving the fundamentals already learned. He is very patient and my son enjoys the coaching sessions.

Coach Petrus is a really good coach. My son really like his teaching style. My son is a QB in Football and a Pitch in Baseball and both throws are different. After the first session, my son said "I get it". We will continue on with Coach.

Great first session with coach P! Jack learned a ton!

Great first experience with Coach Petrus. He is very technical. We look forward to working with him in the future.

Coach Petrus was great! He worked with my 12y/o son specifically on quarterback skills. He was engaging and able to relay concepts in a way my son could understand. He also provided feed back for our son and exercises for him to work on in between sessions. I would highly recommend him.

Coach Rus was professional and upbeat during our session. He was also very responsive and accommodating with respect to scheduling. We enjoyed our session with him.

Coach Petrus has done a fantastic job with my son. He is adamant on correcting fundamentals before moving into more complex drills. His patience is a virtue that is present during every session and he has the ability to keep the athlete’s head clear from stress. It’s one thing to know your stuff, but it’s another thing entirely to be able to teach others what they need to know, in a way they can digest, at the level they’re at. Well done coach!

Coach Petrus has been great working on my Son's technique and throwing motion. I have seen excellent progress in his development.

Coach Petrus is an outstanding coach...highly recommended!

My son who is 14 yrs old and has been a QB since flag at age 5 had his first session this morning and both my son and I learned a lot. My son likes to make plays and likes strength and conditioning but mechanics are not something he ever wants to work on. Coach Petrus not only worked with my son on his mechanics, balance and drills, he explained everything thoroughly so that my son understood exactly how each part of his body is affecting his throw. Coach Petrus also coached me on how to work with my son between sessions. This is exactly what we both needed. I’ve known some of the issues with my sons mechanics but didn’t know how to correct them and definitely was not able to explain the smallest details so that my son could understand in a way that motivated him to put in that specific work. On the way home, my son was talking about what he learned in the session the whole drive home, This is the first time he’s ever been excited about working on his mechanics. Coach Petrus is an excellent coach that got my son fully engaged in the first session. We couldn’t be happier.

Coach Pterus (rus) was superb. My 8 year old Son Miller immediately improved his 3 step drop at QB as well as was zinging passes better than ever before even after just an hour. He was patient and kind in nature. Can't recommend him enough!

Coach Petrus is a great coach!!! After the first session Collin made a big jump with his throws. Coach Rus is definitely a great coach and would recommend him to anyone.

Great First Session

Coach P is awesome. Great QB coach. Really happy with my son's first session. He pointed out some simple techniques to work on with my son at home to improve his mechanics. Can't wait for our next meeting.

Coach Rus is an amazing QB coach. My wife and I can't believe how much progress our son has made over just a few sessions. Not to mention, our son really enjoys each coaching session. Coach Rus was able to quickly diagnose the issues with his passing and make corrections. Coach Rus has shown our son proper throwing techniques (yes, there are more than one), proper footwork on different types of plays, how to read a defense, etc. Coach Rus clearly learned from the best and is a wealth of QB/football knowledge. Not to mention, he's a nice guy and great with kids.

Coach Petrus did an excellent job with my 10 yr old. He took the time to explain the reasons behind any change he made with his throwing mechanics. We seen great improvement in accuracy with the small tweaks he made. We look forward to more sessions with Coach Rus

Great coaching , great football knowledge, fun and very helpful

Enjoyed Coach Rus’s ability to keep my son’s head in the training and coached my son’s emotions away from frustration. Nice work ! Positive and relatable. Thank you !

Great coach! Works well with my college athlete!

Coach Petrus is exactly the coach my son needs. He has a great eye for quarterback skills and knows how to push for improvement. Most importantly he is working hard to customize his feedback and encouragement. My son and I leave every session saying “that was an awesome session and coach Rus is fantastic!”

Coach Petrus did a great job in my son's first session. My son thought he was great and is looking forward to working with him again.
