PERSONAL TRAINING

Personal Trainer

Hi my name is Patrick McCauley. I joined the Gorilla house family many years ago as a front desk employee. Throughout my time here, I have achieved my doctorate of physical therapy and am now a practicing PT in the acute field. Additionally, I became a certified personal trainer to help people learn correct movement patterns and to avoid injuries while exercising. 

I have trained a variety of individuals with many levels of experience. I have trained people with no prior experience looking to learn a new skill in life to people with multiple years experience looking to correct and fine tune movements in their exercises. 

I’m a big nerd when it comes to exercise. I studied it for 6 years in college because I’m driven by the why behind our exercise choices and movements. I want you to know why we select the exercises we do so that you grow towards your health goals while having an understanding of the steps we take to get there. So whether you’re new to the gym family or been here for years, reach out and see what we can do together!

Personal Trainer

Hello, my name is Shawn Robinson. Certified personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine with and emphasis on Youth Exercise. I am a Marine Corps veteran with three tours overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan. I also work with children with intellectual disabilities and on the Autism spectrum.

I work with all ages, body types, and goal sets to help people achieve a healthier lifestyle and crush goals. I have almost two years of working with individuals achieve these goals.

I have a soft spot for kids and strive to set them up for success as they grow and mature to learn how to move their bodies and do it without hurting themselves. “It takes a village” is a saying I take literal. So parents a free to come and watch their kids workout or crush a quick workout of their own as well.

You can find me in class, on the floor, or at the desk most days. I put in the work before I push it out to my clients. I strive for great technique and consistency in all I do. The gym is no different.

Hey there! I’m Connor Stayer, a personal trainer here at Gorilla House Gym. My journey into fitness is deeply personal—I’ve lost a total of 110 pounds, and that transformation fuels my passion for helping others achieve their goals.

During my time in high school, I was heavily into sports like baseball and football. Those years taught me so much about athletic performance and the dedication it takes to excel;  After shedding the weight and experiencing firsthand how fitness can change your life, I knew I wanted to guide others on their own journeys.

The types of training I’m passionate about include, but are not limited to; CrossFit and functional fitness training, combining my athletic background with the latest techniques to create dynamic workouts. Whether you’re aiming to lose weight, gain strength, or improve your overall fitness, I’m here to provide personalized support tailored to your needs.

Beyond the gym, fitness is more than a job—it’s a lifestyle for me. I bring that passion into every session, aiming to inspire and motivate everyone around me. At Gorilla House Gym, I’m dedicated to helping you push your limits and achieve your best self.

Let’s work together to reach your fitness goals and make lasting changes that extend far beyond the gym floor!

Tennis Instructor

My name is Matt Stopp, and I am the head tennis pro at Gorilla House Gym.  Tennis has been a huge part of my life, and I’ve had the pleasure of teaching it for over fifteen years.

As a junior player, I was ranked in the top 10 of USTA Middle States.  I played four years of Division II college tennis for the nationally ranked Assumption Greyhounds.  I graduated with a BA in mathematics and a minor in physics.  During my time at Assumption, I contributed to the tennis teams 117 match in conference winning streak.  I finished my college career with a 61-3 singles record, which was the highest winning percentage in the team’s history.  I was the northeast 10 male scholar athlete of the year as well as a CoSIDA/ESPN academic all-America in 2007. 

I love tennis and can’t imagine my life without it.  Tennis is different from a lot of other sports in that it can be played by people of all ages and abilities.  I have coached all levels from nationally ranked juniors to absolute beginners.  I try to provide a customized coaching experience for all of my students and hope they enjoy a lifetime of fun on the court.
