Miguel is an excellent trainer. My goal was to get a 6 pack in 4 month before my trip and he helped me reach my goals by providing the recipes for success: disciple, diet, training. At the end of 4 months, I lost 24 lbs. I started at 185 and ended up around 161 lbs. My abs were much more defined and visible. I would recommend him as a trainer to anyone. I reached a plateau in my training and he helped me get over the hump. read more

I've had a few trainers over the past 10 years and Miguel is by far one of the best. If you are willing to put in the work, you will definitely see results. Miguel is super friendly but don't expect him to hold your hand throughout your entire fitness journey. He gives you the tools to be able to maintain your fitness outside of the gym. Going to the gym was intimidating especially after 3 kids and feeling so out of shape, but Miguel snapped me right out of right that state of mind. He makes you feel comfortable and tailors the workout routine specifically to your needs. I HIGHLY recommend his services! read more

If you are looking for an awesome fitness trainer, look no further - Miguel is your guy! Miguel is very results-oriented and keeps things real - he will push you as much as you can be pushed. When I started with Miguel, my biggest worry was to not injure myself, while following the workout routine that Miguel planned out for me. Miguel was always patient, and pushed me to my limit and then some, but never too much so as to make me uncomfortable. I also enjoyed how Miguel kept things moving and kept me engaged, in a fun way - heavy weights with light conversations :) Overall, a great trainer with a genuine interest in helping out his clients! read more

Miguel is exceptional! His personalized workouts, motivational approach, and focus on proper form make every session effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone serious about achieving their fitness goals read more

I have been training with Miguel for over 3 years now--two years solid and on and off for the last year or so since I moved, and I can promise you he is hands down the best trainer. I was the type of person who hated working out, but Miguel changed that. His energy is always so on point that it makes you want to work out and do better. He is also super knowledgeable and adapts your sessions to your particular needs. I saw insane results, not only physically but mentally as well. When we started, I was about 148 lbs and soft, and we got down to 130-132 lbs and super toned. Not only that, I got really strong and was deadlifting 225 at 130-132 lbs. You will see and feel a noticeable difference training with Miguel. He is results oriented and motivates you to put in the work. I cannot recommend him enough. Coming from someone who hated working out, trust me and invest in yourself! You will not regret training with Miguel. read more

No matter how I feel when I walk in to a session with Miguel, I always feel so much better when I walk out.

This review is long pending and long overdue. Mighuel is one of the best personal trainers. Period. Nothing more to it. He will grind you. He will make you push your limits and help you achieve goals you didn't even think were possible. He's really friendly , helpful and gets to the bottom of your goals but at the same time inside the gym he expects 100% out of you and that's because he brings his A game with him. I trained with him for more than the year until I had to move because of work. Mighuel still checks up on me time to time even though I'm no longer a client. Just have a sit down or a consultation with him and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. He will gothe extra mile to make sure you achieve your goals. Adding my before / after :). read more

I feel better and stronger (mentally and physically) than ever & I give credit to my amazing trainer for all his dedication and knowledge. Don't hesitate to give him a shot..you won't regret it. read more

I have been working with Miguel since September of 2017. I'm not the type of person to work out, go to the gym, or lift weights. My biggest achievement over the last year is that I've stuck it out and I've been working out consistently every week. I owe a lot of that to Miguel. He is simply the best. He knows what he's going, but there are a lot of trainers out there who do. Miguel is super patient and even though I started lifting tiny weights, I've gained so much muscle that I've lifted weights I didn't think I'd ever be able to. He does a great job encouraging me to keep growing and lifting more, but he's also very cautious about not letting me hurt myself. If you're not the type of person who "works out" or have never done this before, I recommend working with Miguel for a few months and see how your life has changed. I have seen him work with other clients too, so I know he can help you even if you have a lot of experience. Miguel is always positive and encouraging. He's a superstar and will make you feel like one too. read more

Miguel is a great trainer! Really knowledgeable and knows his stuff, reliably on time, and super friendly/positive. He started off getting a whole bunch of info to make his plan for me.

I definitely not only lost weight and learned gym skills, but also started getting comfortable making the gym a part of my daily lifestyle! read more

I cannot thank and recommend Miguel enough!!! This review is long overdue. It has been 6+ months since I am training with Miguel, and it has been one of my life changing experience. When I first joined, he patiently understood my goal and designed a meal (vegetarian ) and workout plan accordingly. I was able to shed more than 7% body fat percentage - and trust me it's not usually easy to shed body fat %s. His training has motivated me to push myself even on the days when I am not training with him. It has been a transformational journey for me! It's always rewarding when you achieve something that you once thought to be an impossible task!

I've trained with Miguel for more than 6 months. Previously I've always wanted to train hard and regularly - I had the desire for it but I was never able to follow through with my commitment. Since I started training with Miguel, he has completely transformed my training routine and I've become a confident gym goer. I've reached several of my training goals and he's transformed my diet. I've also become very well aware of what I'm supposed to do to ensure that I am able to carry on this lifestyle sustainably - while working a demanding and hectic full time job. Miguel is a family fan. He is a fun and caring person. He will invest in you and understand what works for you to ensure you have a good time at the gym while you workout with him.

It's a marathon not a race! That is one of the many things I learned with Miguel these past three months. I initially signed up with Miguel because I made it my year goal to run a Marathon this upcoming July. I knew I needed to be in the best shape of my life. During these past three months I've learned to live a lot healthier life style. I use to deprive myself from eating many things but thanks to Miguel I learned that we are able to live a healthy life style and still enjoy the many tasty foods. I really appreciated how he took the time and effort to modify my meal plan along with my training regiment as we went through this journey together. Miguel was always very quick to respond and answer any questions I had. Obviously we all know sometimes life can get in the way and these life events might cause us to fall off and prevent us from reaching our goal. I can't thank Miguel enough for all his support during these three months I was very ill due to contracting Covid-19 along with losing my Grandmother. During this time Miguel was very empathetic, which allowed me to continue my fitness journey. Just after one week of my grandmothers passing I was able to complete with ease a half marathon which I dedicated to her. This was one step closer to my full marathon goal. I appreciated how he was not a drill instructor and would always take the time to show me the correct form. Miguel has to be one of the most optimistic individuals I've met. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer. Lastly I am definitely signing up for Bulking Season with Mig read more

I had the opportunity of training with Miguel, and he was an outstanding trainer. Miguel truly understands individual limits and knows exactly when to push you and when to work at your own pace. He's also a fantastic conversation starter making sessions comfortable and entertaining. I communicated to him that my primary goal was strength training rather than weight loss and in about three months, I went from struggling to do a single push-up to knocking out 15, also losing 15 pounds along the way. Highly recommend him :) read more

Miguel is a highly motivated, skilled and a compassionate personal trainer. He evaluated my strength and improvement areas really well and designed the workout sessions around that. He was also very thoughtful about the meal plan that suits my lifestyle. When I started training, I was going through a difficult time. I wasn't confident about continuing for more than a month. But in a couple of weeks I knew I would like to continue my fitness journey with Miguel. He is a fitness coach that you can trust!

All because of one right decision that I took! I highly recommend Miguel as a fitness coach no matter where you are in your fitness journey. read more

Miguel is an encouraging, knowledgeable trainer. He really helped take my body to the next level. I started my own fitness journey at 152 pounds. I was able to lose weight on my own but I plateaued at 141. I couldn't lose anymore weight no matter how much I worked out or watched what I ate. I decided to train with Miguel. He created a plan for me: workouts and a detailed meal plan. Every session he would push me and yet make me feel so comfortable. I was able to lose about 8 pounds with him, the lightest I'd been in a long time, and I was able to tone my stomach. I never felt so confident and radiant. Training with him was such a great decision, he taught me very much and now I can take that knowledge with me and keep bettering myself. The journey was not easy but with dedication and Miguel helping me, it made it much more obtainable. read more

Time after time, I would embark on this journey to lose weight. Always on my own & never with professional help. After years staying at a stagnant weight & not happy with my results I decided to reach out to a professional.

After a few short months (3 months) I went from 230 to 189. Thank you for your guidance & motivation. read more
