You’ve tried fitness programs before that were too extreme & rigid, too generic, or didn’t fit your lifestyle. It left you excessively sore, or feeling like it was geared to a young athlete.

You’ve tried fitness before but it was too strict too generic or didn’t fit your life. It left you sore stuck or feeling like it was made for someone younger or fitter. You kept going but the path forward wasn’t clear. You found relief but it didn’t last. You’re not failing those plans just weren’t right for you.
Here at Bellevue Fitness Training, I don’t do cookie-cutter. I listen to your goals, your history, your life—and build something that fits. No crazy diets you’ll ditch in a week. No workouts that leave you limping. Just smart, sustainable training that meets you where you are. Whether it’s easing that old shoulder stiffness or getting you strong enough to keep up with your grandkids, we’ll figure it out together.
Founder of Bellevue Fitness Training
I'm Darren Cobin, I've been a fitness professional since 2001. I was first motivated to go into fitness after seeing my mom's health deteriorate due to being sedentary and not eating well. Over the years, I've worked with countless individuals who felt their unique needs were overlooked, plans that didn't consider their age, past injuries, or personal goals.
My approach is different. I specialize in working with adults aged 40–70, including those with hypermobility, injury histories, or chronic pain. I believe fitness should be adaptable, enjoyable, and sustainable. It's not about pushing through pain or adhering to rigid routines; it's about creating a personalized plan that fits your life and helps you move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence.
Every client has a story, and I take the time to listen. Whether you're dealing with a lingering shoulder issue or simply want to keep up with your grandchildren, we'll work together to build a program tailored to you. Your journey is unique, and your fitness plan should be too.

Founder & Head Trainer
Here’s Why I Do This
I’m Darren Cobin, and I started Bellevue Fitness Training because I couldn’t stand watching people like you get let down by fitness. I mean it—you’re someone who’s tried, who’s pushed, who’s maybe even gotten hurt or discouraged along the way. I’ve been there too, not as a client, but as the guy who’s seen it up close. For years, I’ve trained folks who show up with the same story: plans that don’t fit, trainers who don’t listen, or that nagging feeling that fitness just isn’t meant for you. I hate that. You deserve better, and I’m here to make damn sure you get it.
This isn’t some big corporate gym thing—it’s me, Darren, sitting down with you, figuring out what you need. Maybe your shoulder’s been bugging you since that old injury. Maybe you just want to chase your kids around without wheezing. Whatever it is, I’m not handing you a generic workout sheet and calling it a day. I listen—to your story, your aches, your life—and we build something that’s yours. That’s what fires me up every morning.

How long are the sessions?
Typically sessions are an hour long, other than the one time intake assessment session which is 90 minutes. If a client wants shorter or longer sessions, I'll discuss it individually with them and make a decision on a case by case basis whether it makes sense to do that.
Every member of the small group training sessions get their own 100% customized 4 to 8 week training plan. Rarely do 2 members have the exact same workout. Each person’s training plan is individualized to their goals, needs, abilities, and limitations. Each person has their own personalized warm up, their own personalized strength program, their own personalized cardio/conditioning program, their own personalized mobility/flexibility program, etc. The difficulty level and pace of each individuals workout is unique and personalized to that person.
In general the answer is no. It's not like Crossfit or Orange Theory. The only person I encourage you to compete with is yourself. If you happen to be training in the same group as a friend or family member that you would like to have a little friendly and supportive competition with, as long as it is safe and appropriate I'm happy to come up with ways you can challenge each other.
In most cases, yes. There are certainly exceptions, but if your doctor has cleared you for physical activity, then you can safely start training here. We do a very comprehensive system of testing and assessments to know what positions, motions, and exercises will be safe and pain free. I have over 22 years of experience helping people work around vulnerable areas, or carefully working through them.
Absolutely not. As long as you’re breathing, it is never too late to get started. I’ve successfully worked with clients in their 80s, and had no problems creating a safe and appropriate workout program tailored to their specific goals, abilities, and limitations.
In general I would say no. There are too many important variables that I have no control over. When it comes to weight loss or other physique modification goals, I can't control whether or not my clients follow through with their nutrition plan or other important behaviors outside the gym. When it comes to pain, I'm not a medical professional and don't treat medical issues. When it comes to sports performance, I have no control over a clients genetics, fitness history, lifestyle outside the gym, and many other factors. What I can promise is that no matter what your goals are, I will help you create a plan that will focus on making improvements in that area in a safe and effective way, and that if you follow that plan consistently you will make progress towards your goals. I also promise that if you ever feel stuck, that I will go the extra mile to troubleshoot what isn't working, and what changes to make to get back on track.
There are a number of options for both the 1 on 1 and small group training programs. The cost varies based on how frequently you plan on training, as well as, whether you want to do a month to month program or commit to a 3, 6 or 12 month program. When someone goes through their free consultation I go over the cost details based on which option seems like the best fit for that individual. To give a general overview so people can see if this might fit their budget, the 1 on 1 program ranges from 450 to 1560 per month and the small group training program ranges from 255 to 485 per month. I also offer remote coaching coaching or remote workout program design starting at 100 per month.
I know there are exceptions, but it is often true that you get what you pay for. Not everyone is created equal. I'm sure you can find plenty of fitness programs or trainers & coaches that charge less than I do, but you have to look at what you're getting or not getting. With me you get someone with over 22 years of experience, in depth hands on education, I invest thousands every year on continuing education to be the best professional I can be, I limit the size of my groups to 6-8 people so I can provide plenty of personal attention to each person. If the level of customization and specialized approaches you'll find here don't seem like a good fit, I'd be happy to recommend 2 or 3 other options in the area that are more affordable. For people in their teens, 20s, and maybe even early 30s that have no injury history, a one size fits all group training program, or a trainer with less experience might still get you to your goals safely and effectively. On the other hand for people over 35, especially ones with injury history, it's taking a huge gamble with your long term health & safety to pick a fitness program based on price alone.
One on one sessions can be purchased in a single session, by the month, or in programs of 3, 6, or 12 months long. Small group training can be purchased by the month, or in programs of 3, 6, or 12 months long. Most people start by doing month to month, and if they like it here and want to save money over the long term they upgrade to a 6 or 12 month program.
