We've worked with Michael for over 5 years and he constantly challenges us to new levels of…read morefitness. He keeps his workouts fun, so you never know exactly how hard you worked until the next day (or week, in my case). Michael also helps with food journaling and maintaining a healthy diet as part of our fitness regimen. We wouldn't go to anyone else! Thanks Michael!!

I have known Michael for over three years. I could go on and on about how knowledgeable he is, how…read morecreative he is, how encouraging he is. As a result of my training with Michael, I have been able to set goals and accomplish things that I am very proud of. I feel stronger and more fit then ever. I passed an important "0" birthday some time ago. Since then I am able to continue to ski double-black diamond ski runs; even ski several days in a row despite a previous history of significant knee injuries. I have been able to improve my distance and speed on my bicycle. I am currently training for my second STP (200 miles in 2 days). He has been able to figure out ways to encourage me and convince me that I can do these things. I am looking forward to continuing this journey with Michael. There is so much more out there to accomplish!!

JR has an amazing combination of knowledge, extensive experience, and most importantly, passion…read more  He's a positive and encouraging trainer and fun to work with.  His workouts are extremely varied and he knows seemingly an infinite number of workouts/progressions, tailored to your body. From the first session where he does a quantitative and qualitative physical assessment, to planning out your next few months and setting quantitative goals, to making each workout dynamic and engaging, to providing holistic knowledge of food and workout routines - it's been a real pleasure over the past few months working with him and learning a ton.  You'll never find yourself just going through the motions. If you put in the work and follow the plan (diet/workout), then you're definitely going to get results within weeks!  Aside from actually noticeable visual improvements and measurable gains in strength and cardio, you'll also improve your posture and flexibility and you'll feel a lot healthier! Finally, the most important thing is that each workout is a lot of fun and customized to your needs.  Group fitness classes are great, but it doesn't match up to the personal attention and drive you'll get working with JR. It's a real game-changer and I look forward to continuing the fitness adventure with JR. The workouts have been worth every penny. Highly recommend him and so glad that we found out about him!

Working with JR Trujillo has been amazing! My partner and I have trained with him for the last six…read moremonths and we have seen outstanding results!! In addition to visual improvements, we've had measurable gains in strength, cardio, and endurance. Our initial goals were to lose weight, build lean mass/endurance and improve posture and flexibility, and each session has been tailored to help us achieve those goals. JR is also extremely knowledgable about sustainable nutrition, and we've learned so much about how to build a healthier lifestyle. As other reviews have noted, JR will push you hard, but he does it with such positivity that every session is a total blast! Working with JR has made me realize I'm able to do things I never thought possible, and I've been able to make life changes that I never thought feasible before our sessions. Overall, I can't say enough good things about JR. If you're looking for a health coach/personal trainer, JR is top-notch!

I've been training with Henry for about six months, and I can honestly say he is excellent at what…read morehe does. He is reliable, motivating, and very easy to work with when it comes to scheduling and accommodating my needs. Henry really understands fitness and takes the time to customize workouts based on your goals, ability, and progress. He doesn't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every session feels well planned, focused, and productive. He pushes you when needed, but in a positive and encouraging way. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve, I highly recommend Henry.

Wow, what a huge difference it makes to work with a trainer like Victor who really understands what it takes to build a great looking body! Not only does Victor have an excellent grasp of a number of approaches for your specific goals, he has a formal education in Kinesiology, and years of practical background actually building award winning physiques. If you are committed you will see the results come with Victor supporting your effort in the gym. No hesitation highly recommending his services. Don't waste your time in the gym and see no results, seek out help, it's worth it!

I don't know about you, but I feel secure choosing him and his training methodology based upon his formal education and personal experience as an athlete. Lastly, I've gained so much muscle working out with him, at my last doctor's appointment I was told that I have far more muscle than comparable people my height/weight/bodyfat.

I've trained with Paul twice a week for the last year. I hired him to help me rehab after a series…read moreof injuries that prevented me from running. For four years, I struggled recovering from my running injuries, and didn't believe I'd be able to run again. I took group weightlifting classes, tried cycling and hiking, but nothing I was doing was getting results, and nothing filled the void that running left behind. I put on 20 lbs from my peak running shape, and thought I could lose 30 lbs to get me back to teenage shape. I got so much more than I bargained for. Paul has become my coach, mentor and friend. His holistic approach of strength, yoga, nutrition, meditation and sleep was completely new to me. The results are well beyond my expectations, and I feel we are still early in our journey together. I have lost 52 pounds in a year, and now weigh the same as my trim 16 year old self, a full twenty pounds lighter than I thought would be possible. My strength has increased with what feels like new pr's every week - my deadlift and hip thrust pr's are particularly exciting, especially since my hips had been affected by my running injuries. After 8 months of training and weight loss (and loss of gym due to Covid-19), I added running back into my routine, slowly building back up. After just 8 weeks of running I hit a personal best in my 5k. I can't wait to see the results in my first race! During the pandemic, Paul helped create programs that I could do on my own from home, continued his coaching and accountability. We've even done socially distanced yoga in the park. He is as adaptable as he is generous and motivating. I can't recommend him enough!

I grew up playing all sports and eventually stuck with soccer and played for the Canadian National…read moreteam and in college. Post college, I took on long distance running to take on a new challenge. For years, I put in the time but eventually got bored and just realized that although I enjoyed working out (running, gym, biking, etc) I didn't have a plan. And without a plan, I wasn't seeing the results I thought I deserved for my effort. I wasn't measuring my activity. I wasn't optimizing. I wasn't taking nutrition seriously. At the same time, life was changing rapidly and I started to get fatigue from the daily grind. I needed to work on my mental strength, do some re-prioritizing, start to build new habits and lay a new routine. I needed some help. I met Paul through a friend, and started listening to his podcast: Down Dog Athletics and was inspired by his story and how he approached his work. You will quickly notice that Paul is a lifelong learner. We discussed my goals. Paul does a really good job of asking the right questions to really get at what you want to accomplish and why. He built my plan - physical, mental and diet. We tracked my calories, lifting sessions and checked in on a weekly basis to talk about ups and downs. My mantra became work smarter not harder. He continued to optimize my program and I quickly started to see results. My goal was less about losing weight and more about my appearance, but I lost 12lbs in 10 weeks, and hit PRs for several upper and lower body exercises. My confidence started to grow. I was seeing results and since I was tracking everything - calories, sleep, weight at the gym, etc I could reflect and see my progress and accomplishments which ultimately inspired me more. Without a plan, one that is optimized, one that you feel confidence about, you'll fail to see the results you expect. Lastly, I appreciate that Paul's approach was slow and steady and focused on balance and working towards a lifestyle change vs this dramatic YOU CAN'T EAT ANY SUGAR FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. I highly recommend Paul!

I have been seeing Neil a little over 2 years now. I was just searching for a personal trainer who…read morewas near my work so that I will have no excuse of not working out. I was just so tired of not feeling and looking great. And I know that without help I will not be able to lose weight. With that being said, Neil helped me lose 54 lbs in less than a year of training with him. Due to COVID, I gained some lbs unfortunately. Now, we are working on making me look lean while losing the weight that I gained. I honestly feel stronger than ever before. He pushes me to do better than my personal record. Neil is also accommodating. He will work with you to get you a time that would work best with your schedule. It really helped and continues to help me that I know he will be there to keep me on a straight path in my fitness journey. I wouldn't have been able to lose those lbs without him pushing me.

I've been working with Neil now for over 5 years. Over that time he has set up a whole series of…read moredifferent work outs and plans depending on what I was needing at the time. We've done serious weight training, boxing, circuit training and sometimes a combination. Neil always has fresh ideas to add in and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and anyone else (and I have isn't the past). I find it makes a huge difference having a trainer and Neil is one of the best.

I have been working with Rich for over 2 years now, and he is terrific. I am 59 years old and have…read moreworked out most of my life, but mostly just cardio. I really didn't know my way around a gym or how to use the machines. I didn't do strength training or work on flexibility, mobility, and balance. But about 15 years ago I started getting injured and have now had multiple orthopedic surgeries for injuries and have also struggled with carpel tunnel syndrome. Over time I simply got out of shape. I worked with 7 different physical therapists and 3 other trainers before meeting Rich. Rich has been incredible. First, he is very knowledgeable and explains things well. I had way more to learn than I realized -which was also humbling, especially in a serious gym surrounded by mostly much younger people. When I started back at the gym, I was literally so weak that I had trouble getting up off the ground. I was afraid of getting injured and requiring more surgeries. I couldn't answer his questions ("Where did you feel that? In your glutes or your quads?") But he has always been very patient and kind. He has believed I was capable of progress and had more confidence in me than I had in myself. He stresses form and I've learned a great deal from him - things about my body that I wish I'd learned decades ago. I trust him to be sure the workouts are balanced - on both sides of my body as well as the complementary muscle groups. He's taught me about how to bear the load with my muscles instead of my joints and my posture has improved significantly. I'm stronger than I've been in 20 years at least, and I'm doing things I never thought I'd be able to do. Rich designs workouts for me 3x/week and I continue to improve. He has become one of the most important people in my life -because the old adage really is true: Use it or lose it. I'm at the age where I see people begin to get limited in what they are able to do. I'm working out for health and fitness now - and to position myself for the next 10-20-30 years. I'm very grateful for him and to him, and recommend him without reservation.

Since I am elderly with asthma and diabetes, being able to workout from home has been a lifesaver. Rich is an excellent trainer, always conscious of personal limitations and vulnerabilities. He is empathetic, thoughtful, and very creative in the way he designs workouts to accommodate home space and equipment restrictions. As a professional, he goes the extra mile to provide excellent instructional videos and personal online consultation. I highly recommend Rich as a personal trainer. One would be hard pressed to find a better alternative to guided physical training during this pandemic year.
