“What Phil is teaching is mind-blowing, life changing, and one of the most powerful things I’ve experienced.”
“I’ve practiced Shaolin Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Shidokan over the span of most of my life. Yoga, meditation, and Buddhism have been a way of life for me. Holistic medicine, Acupuncture, Massage therapy, Ayurveda, Pilates, and Chiropractic regimens have also been a part of my healing on an ongoing basis. What he teaches has helped more than any of those practices. In one session, the modalities he introduced corrected a lifetime hip injury of 54 years. I cannot recommend his services enough.”

“I am actually fixing some lifelong issues through our work together. For me it's the most engaging, and easily most enduring way to work on my body and soul.”
“After 20 years of Kung Fu, Acupuncture, dieting, multiple injuries and chronic pain, an increase in weight, and depression, Phil's program is the only thing that fixed my chronic back problems, helped me lose weight and it also doesn't feel like punishment. Phil helped me work through chronic back pain in a way that has directly impacted both my body and my mind. It isn't always a cake walk and can be uncomfortable at times, but as he says: "that's the medicine". Phil's practice is a cross between yoga, pilates, zen, and Kung Fu. I am actually fixing some lifelong issues through our work together. For me it's the most engaging, and easily most enduring way to work on my body and soul. I came to Phil overweight, tense, full of angst and with a pinched nerve that I had been harboring for years. He stretched and realigned my body and my mind until I no longer had a pinched nerve. I lost weight. And while I am not bereft of angst, I at least have a methodology to deal with it. I haven't thrown my back out since I started working with Phil and that in and of itself is worth the price of admission. The fact that I sleep like the dead after one of his workouts and don't regularly want to punch something is icing on the cake.
I no longer suffer from chronic pain and I can say that I have seen more sustainable positive momentum working with Phil for 8 months than any other program, and I might even be in the process of being a better person.”

“I hurt my back lifting weights in the gym. I couldn’t walk straight and I was worried that I would hurt myself again.
Since working with Phil I have increased my body awareness, improved my posture, and my back doesn’t hurt anymore. With the fascia release practice I’m able to work out any stiffness and speed up my recovery after a workout.
I feel more confident in the gym that I won’t hurt myself again and I don’t worry about my back when lifting my son. Working with Phil has shattered my subconscious belief that it’s inevitable to become less mobile the older I get.
In the past I’ve done lots of static stretching that would make me a little bit more flexible but after a short while progress stagnated which hurt my motivation and ultimately led to me quitting that practice. Phil’s program is something else. After every session I can feel my muscles having been worked and over time my flexibility and strength has greatly increased. Now, my stretches go much deeper than when I first started working with Phil and my deep core is much stronger. Most exercises are simple so I can do them on my own after a couple times. Simple doesn’t mean easy though, as these exercises really put me to work.
Working with Phil is a delight. He is the most knowledgeable person that I know when it comes to mobility and body awareness. He has endless enthusiasm and loves to geek out on all the different aspects of the training we do. Even after working with him for almost 5 months Phil is still stoked for every training.
Most importantly, what Phil teaches actually works. I’m closing in on 40 and I’m more flexible than I’ve ever been in my adult life. My posture is strong and aligned and I feel a renewed excitement for working out-anything is possible!”

“Since working with Phil I have increased my body awareness, improved my posture, and my back doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Phil really taught me about how we're holding tension and unreleased, trapped emotion. And I got to really understand how off and misaligned my body was. It was the areas that had not really received any exercise or had been weakened for years and how they block us in so many different ways…”
— Mike
“I was suffering from chronic pain in my hips for years when I went to see Phil. I lived in Singapore and was seeing a physiotherapist and an osteopath for 4-5 years but it provided just temporary relief. I walked with a limp and couldn’t sleep properly. It affected my daily routine and I couldn’t perform certain exercises.
My life changed since I was introduced to Phil. Phil is knowledgeable, straightforward, and passionate about helping his clients. He put me through the mobility training program and other practices and my pain was gone just after 2 sessions. Although not optimal yet, I don’t live in pain anymore and can sleep better. I feel stronger and my flexibility and mobility increases after each training session. I can finally go back to doing hatha yoga as I have become more aware of the correct alignment.
I would definitely recommend anyone that suffers from chronic pain to Phil as he listens to your issue and customizes the program to help with your issues. He is also very knowledgeable and resourceful and doesn’t mind sharing his experiences to enhance your wellbeing.”

“My life changed since I was introduced to Phil. Phil is knowledgeable, straightforward, and passionate about helping his clients.”
“I met Phil through a recommendation from a friend. Oddly it was an Instagram post that a friend was back in town and if you were suffering from pain or had body issues he was the guy, hit him up.
I never respond to things like this. Never. But for some reason this spoke to me. I had been suffering with a nerve issue in my left arm that left my hand numb. I had been to Chiros, regular Dr’s and a neurologist. In addition to this issue I have had neck issues for 30 years at various levels of pain and had just given it to this being part of life. I have had years of rehab, pills and chiropractic adjustments, all of which had some benefits, but nothing "fixed" the problem.
I met with Phil and was immediately intrigued by his explanation of what he does and how he thought he could help. The combination of breathing techniques and precise postures and movements sounded interesting, but I wasn't sold that this would do much for me. It sounded a lot like some type of "new rehab" technique. Most of the moves are very simple, but the precision was really the key. After the first month of working out with Phil my nerve problem had started to resolve itself and I started feeling better. I also noticed that other things were happening within my body. As time moved on, my arm, shoulder, and neck were cured. Not short term fixed, but cured. Longtime back problems I had were resolved, my range of motion got better everywhere, my sleep improved and I feel fantastic. I really can't get over the fact that I feel amazing, both mentally and physically.
In addition to the physical gains I received from working out with Phil I also noticed the overall connection between my mind and body improving. This is hard to explain, but without trying I was intuitively getting information from my body and understanding more of what I needed to do. Things just made sense without me thinking about it. I knew if there was/is something off, as well as what I needed to do to fix it. I also noticed that the breathwork was helping me deal with my anxiety and stress in my everyday life.”

“I can't recommend his services enough. If you are having physical or anxiety issues or are just "stuck" like many of us right now, I would reach out and make a change.”
“I was in a lot of pain and looking for someone to guide me every step of the way…Yes, I accomplished all of my goals…and had a beautiful, transformational time with Phil. For anyone on the fence I can’t recommend him enough!”
— Rhaya
“I am amazed at the transformation I have gone through so many positive changes over the past six months and will continue working with Phil. I feel that I have not even scratched the surface with what he can teach me.”
“Working with Phil is more than just working with a trainer or a physical therapist, he helps the body realign, connect to your nervous system, and safely rediscover muscles that have been asleep for years. I have been working with Phil for six months and I am an inch taller due to improved posture. Each session builds on to the next while rebuilding and strengthening the core and the surrounding muscles. My right rotator cuff was torn six years ago, I had only partial movement, and never realized how I never rebuilt that area. After several months I now have freedom in my neck and I can lift objects without my arm dropping due to lack of strength. I have spent years going to the chiropractor due to my posture and neck pain, but I only received short term relief which brought me back to the same place I started. I was given stretches and exercises to help open my chest, but I kept injuring myself. Phil helped me build the muscles in my back that help with pulling back my shoulders while keeping my shoulders down instead of “wearing them like earrings”. I broke my left femur 20 years ago and my hips have always been locked up and I have been favoring my right side which ended up with pain in my piriformis. Learning how to sit up on my sitting bones while being able to hold my posture has freed up space that has allowed so much more movement in my hips and completely taken away any back pain that I used to have. I used to take yoga classes and after learning proper alignment I do not look at yoga the same anymore. This method helps you realize it is not how far you can bend or who can put their leg in some crazy position, it is about proper alignment while listening to your body. I used to do warrior one, two or three and every time I bent my leg I was using the wrong muscle which put so much pressure on my knees-now I can feel and know which muscle to use while protecting my knee. Phil has also taught me how our nerves are connected and how each position/ movement helps your nervous system. I am amazed at the transformation I have gone through so many positive changes over the past six months and will continue working with Phil. I feel that I have not even scratched the surface with what he can teach me.”

“I'm super grateful for those coaching sessions in terms of how it it helped me achieve my goal of running this 50 mile Ultra marathon, but also just in terms of living my life.”

“There’s this core strength and posture thing that I’ve been missing that I got it from Phil. There’s such a big difference since I’ve been going to his classes in my physical body that I really recommend giving it a go.”

“While Phil’s knowledge and understanding is impressive, it is matched by his enthusiasm and by his contagiously cheerful personality.”
“It is with complete confidence and sincerity that I endorse Phil Hurrle's expertise related to physical, mental or emotional transformation, in an unlimited range of possibilities. I recommend Phil as a resource as well as a practitioner. I have followed Phil’s work and enjoy observing him in the same way one might observe a master artist. I’ve learned from Phil in conversations and from his written articles and demonstrations. I recognize Phil’s special understanding of workings of the body that not only went beyond my knowledge, but beyond what is commonly practiced in western medicine. And while Phil’s knowledge and understanding is impressive, it is matched by his enthusiasm and his contagiously cheerful personality.”

“I am now walking around pain free and have a much higher level of flexibility and fitness.”
“Since 2014 I had been dealing with hip, groin, and knee pain as a result of long-distance running. I had been in physical therapy on and off to address these issues which kept me sidelined from marathons. In 2021 after months of physical conditioning, I felt well enough to start training for a marathon and injured my hamstring and once again returned to physical therapy. Then one of my friends referred me to Phil with the hopes that he could help me get back on track. Three weeks before the marathon I had my first video session with Phil, and the day after, I woke up feeling loose and with minimal pain. Phil and I only trained together for a short time but three weeks later I was able to run and finish the marathon. I don't think I would have been able to achieve that goal if it was not for Phil's help and guidance. I am now walking around pain free and have a much higher level of flexibility and fitness. I feel that I now have the tools to stay healthy in my marathon training going forward. I highly recommend him!”
— Roberto, Marathoner
“Phil communicates his deep knowledge with great authority, enthusiasm and wisdom.”
“Training with Phil every day totally transformed my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength, endurance and stability! I started working with Phil because I had a hard time motivating myself to exercise-I simply wouldn't do it. Our training sessions consisted of hiking and/or trail running in the mountains of Colorado, and mobility, stretch/strengthening, and “release” work. Phil is an incredibly inspiring and supportive teacher. I felt listened to, seen and met where I was at. Phil communicates his deep knowledge with great authority, enthusiasm and wisdom. I was able to see incredible progress within just a few weeks which made the sessions easier and fun to do. I highly recommend working one-on-one with Phil!”
— Brooke
“Phil has been such a pleasure to work with and what he teaches and how he helps people have been really, really inspiring itatior and eye-opening mainly because it's not just about osteopathy or physiology. It's truly about our body alignment and what we can do to help ourselves as individuals, as we all have very different needs.”
