I started training at The Glute Institute after a pretty bad disc herniation. The coaching is detail‑oriented and safe, and I’ve made steady progress without feeling rushed.

After physical therapy, I needed help getting back to my active lifestyle. The program was personalized, form‑focused, and helped me build strength slowly and safely.

I highly recommend the Glute Institute to anyone for personal training post physical therapy, especially for those who haven't been able to achieve 100% recovery even after being released from PT or need a personalized plan to regain strength and mobility after an injury. The Glute Institute was recommended to me after multiple, separate PT attempts elsewhere for first foot followed by hip pain. Cailin immediately recognized how my foot and hip pain were related, and put together an individualized program to address both together. She was incredibly patient and kind during our sessions, and through her guidance, both my hip and foot pain have become non-existent. Even though I had to end my appointments due to relocating, Cailin uploaded my personalized treatment plan to an app so that I can continue my care at home. Thank you, Glute Institute!

I cannot recommend the Glute Institute highly enough. What sets this place apart is not just the quality of training, but the depth of care and expertise that Ian and Cailin bring to every session. I have worked with them for both physical therapy and strength training, and in both areas, they operate at a level that goes far beyond what you typically experience. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, but more importantly, they are deeply thoughtful in how they apply that knowledge to you as an individual. Every session is tailored, and grounded in a clear understanding of your body, your limitations, and your goals. What truly distinguishes them is that their focus does not end when the session does. They are invested in your overall well-being. They take the time to teach you how to move correctly outside the gym, how to sit, how to walk, how to avoid patterns that could lead to further injury. That kind of guidance is rare, and it makes a meaningful difference in long-term outcomes. You never feel like you are being put through a routine just to get through the hour. You feel like you are being educated, supported, and set up for sustainable progress. Ian and Cailin are not just excellent at what they do. They care, they pay attention, and they bring a level of professionalism and integrity that is hard to find. If you are looking for a place that combines clinical insight with real strength training, and does it with genuine commitment to your health, the Glute Institute is outstanding.

Ian has been my PT through 3 shoulder surgeries, a knee surgery, and an ankle surgery...and he helped me prevent needing another knee surgery. So, I can speak with confidence about his amazing work as a PT. He never makes you feel rushed. He asks questions and sincerely listens to your answers to better understand what your challenges, hinderances, and goals are. His gym knowledge pairs incredibly well. Since he knows that I go to the gym, he would give exercises that I could do on my own with staged approaches that I could grow into. He has always treated me with respect. I have referred multiple people to him because I wouldn't trust them to anyone else. His personality is one of calm confidence and joy. He doesn't over-exaggerate anything. You know when he's pleased with your progress because it radiates from him. He's sensitive to when you can push further and when you need to step back. Somehow, he's a mind reader! But really, he's just so incredibly good at observing everything...facial expressions, body movement, body alignment, and so on. He would ask if I could tolerate more, and I'd say, "Bring it on!" But sometimes, he'd slow down and say, "You're lips are saying that but your face is expressing the opposite...let's ease up just a little." He would know when I was trying to be "tough and brave" and that I could possibly push too hard and cause damage instead of healing. His observational skills are just so intense. I will continue to refer people to Ian. Not that I want yet another surgery, but were I to have one, there's no one else I would trust with my care. He's your guy.

I have been working with Ian Slattery at The Glute Institute for several years for both personal training and physical therapy support, and my experience has been outstanding. Ian brings an exceptional level of expertise, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to long-term health and performance. What sets him apart is his thoughtful, individualized approach—he takes the time to understand your goals, physical history, and limitations, and designs training programs that are both effective and sustainable. I have consistently appreciated his focus on proper technique, injury prevention, and overall functional strength rather than short-term results. The Glute Institute itself provides a professional, welcoming environment that reflects the same high standards Ian brings to his work. Over the years, I’ve seen meaningful improvements in strength, mobility, and overall physical well-being. I would highly recommend Ian and The Glute Institute to anyone looking for knowledgeable, results-oriented training with a strong foundation in health, safety, and performance

The Glute Institute is a unique personal training business run by physical therapists. I was so lucky to find Cailin and her brother’s business as while I was still healing from a fall, I wanted to rebuild my body’s strength and muscle. Cailin was incredibly creative in teaching me to adjust exercises and my body’s positioning to target the muscles I wanted to build and re-build. I am now improving my strength as I wished. This is a long-term goal for me and I am pleased to have found the Glute Institute.
