Looking for a trainer that has the secrets? Trainer with the answers? Maybe some Magic? Well, you found him...
And as much as I would love to keep him my secret - I couldn't do that, because everyone that knows me walks up to me and will ask - "What have you been doing? You look Great! What's your secret?"
Al Coronel... along with sweat, tears, cries for help, and soreness -That's the secret!
And diet to that...that's the magic.
Put it all together- that's the answer.
The bread crumbs of life lead me to Al, and the journey was painful and scary. Twenty Ten was my medical wake up call. My body was dying, and I felt every bit of it. Thankfully, I found a specialist to help me back on track, and once that happen - I felt ALIVE! I started running, signed up for spin classes, did my DVD workouts, but I wanted more! I was afraid of getting a trainer. I had one when I joined a gym a few years back. You know that pressure sales tactic - "You'll get better results if you sign up now!." I had never been to a gym and had no idea what to do - so I bought into the sales pitch and signed up. Don't get me wrong - I liked my trainer - he helped me, but we did the same work out on the same machines (if the machines were available). Some days I wasn't able to do what my trainer asked of me, and he would push me - I knew he would get upset or disappointed. I would leave feeling bad, I felt I let him down, so to think of finding another trainer to work with - was scary!!
What if I can't do what he tells me? what if I'm not strong enough? fast enough? good enough?
I prayed on it.
Be careful for what you pray for... you just might get it.
I came across a flyer for Basic Training - Personal trainers, Private sessions, call for a consultation. I did.
Al answered...
I had a consultation with no sales pressure, Al took my information down, asked what my goals were and started showing me around. I liked seeing everyone working hard, I didn't see anyone slacking off, wasting space or taking up a machine. Wow - these people are here to work out!
I went home to think about it... I still had worries (flash backs of my old trainer) but something about Al and his no pressure, made me sign up.
Al is nothing like my old trainer! He is what every trainer should be!!
He gives me a whole body work out, and every work out is different. I'm always wondering what he will have me doing at our next session. He has this laid back, happy energy to him, but he is not laid back about working out and doing your best. He has this way of pushing you, without pressure or intimidation. When I feel I'm not able to complete a move - Al will tell me "it's okay" and I think he's going to let me off and not finish the move - NO! he let's me break for a few seconds - then I have to finish. I always feel good after our sessions. Yes, some days I wish I did better - but not because Al made me feel that way. its cause I know I can do better - Al has put that in me. He tells you - You got this! You can do it! You won't find a better trainer. When have you ever looked forward to working out - just to see what he has in his bag of tricks, and to see if you can do it.
People noticed a change in my body by the end of my second week. I notice a change everyday. In my body, mind, spirit!
Al is the real deal. A trainer with experience and knowledge on what you are looking for and just wait your friends will start asking you - "WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?" you can tell them AL CORONEL read more
