Nothing but proven improvement with Tyler for my son! He really cares too! His clients’ personal success becomes his own. I can honestly say Tyler’s approach is unique. He’s personally invested in his people’s progress and is so knowledgeable in his field! We first heard of Tyler through a friend to get support for weight lifting for my son who was just starting out. The amount of time to get to know my son and the dedication Tyler devoted to his development was/is remarkable. He personalizes programs to maximize results in a way that resonates and motivates. I think he is especially relatable to the HS and College athletes. For my son, we have been able to track progress in areas of strength, visual acuity and speed just to name a few! I can’t say enough about how much we have appreciated his program for our son’s development! We have seen proven results and progress with his direction and support. If you are looking to progress and develop your body for your sport - Tyler is your guy! I’m sure he supports other areas in addition to sports, and would be equally successful.

Unbelievable training. Very data driven, you will be provided with high level training focused on your areas of need. Coach Tyler is knowledgeable and great to work with.

Tyler is a great coach who understands how to build strength, balance, and coordination without burning kids out. He pushes in a smart, productive way and keeps athletes focused and engaged.Our son has shown noticeable improvement in coordination and confidence, and he actually looks forward to training — which says a lot.Highly recommend for families who want real development and consistent progress, not just workouts.

I’ve trained with a lot of coaches over the years, but working with Tyler has been on another level entirely.From the very first session, he didn’t just throw me into a draining workout — he took the time to test and measure everything: body composition, movement patterns, strength imbalances, and mobility restrictions. He basically built a complete blueprint of where I actually was (not where I thought I was), and only then designed a plan that was 100% tailored to what my body needed to progress safely and quickly.Because he starts with real data instead of guesswork, every week feels purposeful. I’m not just “working hard” — I’m fixing weak points, adding muscle exactly where I need it, and seeing measurable improvements that I can track with him.He’s the rare trainer who combines serious knowledge and precise testing. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter programs and want someone who truly understands how to help you grow and prosper (physically and mentally), look no further. Hands down the best decision I’ve made for my health. 10/10, would recommend to anyone who’s serious about real results.

I have worked with Tyler for many years and he has helped me get ahead in not only physical ways but also cognitive. Working on both building muscle and training for both basketball and football. Tyler takes a different approach to being a fitness trainer. He will train you for your respective sport and not do the same thing for everyone. Tyler is truly an amazing guy who cares about the people he works with.

When Starke Industries opened in Palatine, we took our son for a free evaluation and consultation. The personal and professional feedback was impressive and the technology was awesome. Nate started working with Tyler immediately and soon after our younger daughter also started working with Tyler. Nate was a baseball and football player, Sydney plays volleyball.Both our children have grown physically, emotionally, and mentally. Their nutrition and overall fitness level has improved significantly. Nate is now entering his 3rd year of college and whenever he has a question or a situation arise, his first text is to Tyler. As parents of athletes, the relationship Tyler built with Nate and Sydney and I’m sure countless other kids is more valuable than gold. They respect and trust him. Knowing they have another adult in their lives who cares about keeping them safe and on the field/court is just the best! I have not seen what he offers anywhere else locally. We are so grateful for Starke Industries in Palatine and highly recommend his services.

My son John has been training with Coach Tyler since he was in 6th grade. He is now entering high school. He has improved his strength and agility, his eye and hand coordination and overall athletic ability. Coach Tyler has taught him about nutrition and the importance of recovery. He listens to his clients and their needs and adapts training sessions accordingly. He has done an amazing job at age appropriate training. We highly recommend Coach Tyler to all athletes of any age!

Four years ago, our daughter suffered a spine fracture and needed a personal trainer we could fully trust — someone who understood the importance of building strength safely and thoughtfully. From day one, Tyler at Starke Industries exceeded every expectation. He conducted a thorough assessment and developed a custom training plan that not only helped her heal, but empowered her to come back stronger than ever.Since then, Tyler has been an integral part of her journey — guiding her through every season of high school and travel athletics and now preparing her to play Division 1 softball at a Big Ten university this fall. His commitment to her success goes far beyond the gym. He checks in regularly between sessions, always making sure she's feeling strong both physically and mentally.What sets Tyler apart is his holistic approach. He truly cares about the whole individual — not just performance, but mindset, motivation, and well-being. He’s constantly evolving with the latest training trends and technologies, keeping his methods fresh, effective, and tailored to each athlete's needs.Tyler isn’t just a trainer — he’s a mentor, a supporter, and a integral part of our daughter’s team. We are endlessly grateful for his expertise, dedication, and heart. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to help you or your child thrive, look no further! I couldn’t recommend him more - he’s truly the best!
