Fortify Fitness was established in 2015 as a premier personal training facility in the South end of Burlington. We have now expanded to a second location at the HULA lakeside site. In addition to personal fitness training, Fortify offers gym memberships, group classes and online instruction options. Fortify Fitness was founded by Peter Milhous, a Burlington VT based Fitness Coach and certified personal trainer with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, designing exercise and nutrition programs for corporate and private clients.
Fortify means to “build up” or “strengthen”. Core function is essential to all movement, increases efficiency and decreases propensity to injury. Maximizing your core function increases ability in all performance areas including mobility, flexibility, stability, power and endurance. The heart is the engine that drives all these abilities and so focus on cardiovascular fitness is combined with core strength, to develop a more efficient system that can be applied to any activity the client chooses.
I've been working with Peter two years and have dramatically increased my strength and endurance. He challenges me in ways I wouldn't have myself and greatest of all....I can now do pullups for the first time in my life!!
