To be certified as a Master Trainer you need to have a university degree. Roberts seems to be talked about in terms like this but nowhere does it list him as an actual Master Trainer. Look at the Gary Roberts High Performance website and he isn't listed anywhere on their trainers page. Roberts learned early in his NHL career the proper way to train after he was the worst conditioned guy at Flames camps and is now looked upon as some uber trainer. He is aligned with the Fitness Institute with these types of guys.
It is a petty thing with me that every time a player is said to train with Gary Roberts that people assume that the player is going to become some superstar because Stamkos is. Stamkos was a star before he ever started to train with the Fitness Institute. If you want to see a great trainer look at Ben Prentiss or Rich Hesketh.
