What makes Camilo different is that he uses data to create a custom plan to help each and every person with their individual goals and set them up for long-term success. Not only did Camilo help me to drop the quarantine 15, he provided me with custom macro nutrient plan that is sustainable for me. No diets, no extreme plans, just a new, healthy mindset that completely changed the way I view food and exercise. His plan is approachable and still allows me to live my life in a way that doesn't feel like I'm being restricted. I would highly recommend working with Camilo! He is attentive and is passionate about helping all of his clients reach their personal goals. His weekly check ins help keep me accountable. I know that I can rely on him to help answer any questions I may have throughout this process. read more

Prior to working with Camilo, losing weight/burning fat was somewhat of a mystery to me. I felt little agency over my body and felt I always generally looked the same regardless of if I worked out. Then I started at Orange Theory where the first time in my life I enjoyed "the gym" and met Camilo. I knew that my exercise was doing good for me but I knew little about nutrition and how really changing my diet could shift my body and health even more, so I decided to work with Camilo to learn and see what was possible. Camilo taught me to track my food, and about macros- how it's important not to eat less than your metabolic base, to eat enough protein to build muscle and boost your metabolism, and to cut carbs to a sustainable but lowered amount. I learned to track my steps and how to incorporate more walking into my day even though I have a desk job. I learned a lot more about lifting weights, and started lifting heavier than I've ever done and feeling stronger than I've ever been. It was not easy, but every week I lost about a pound. After 14 weeks I lost about 14 pounds roughly, went from 33.5% to 24.8% body fat, and lost about 1.25 inches off my waistline. Throughout it all Camilo was incredibly supportive. Through his biweekly check ins and just generally being on call to support when I had questions or felt frustrated and wanted to give up because I felt progress was too slow or too hard. I do generally feel he helped me learn to live in a way that I can sustainably lose weight if I want to and still enjoy my life - no starving yourself or enjoying that things that make you happy. It forced me to learn to make new recipes, understand portion sizes better, incorporate WAY more protein and ultimately drink less (which is one on my vices). I'm overall healthier and happier and I don't think I could have done it without Camilo's coaching along the way- he will be your constant cheerleader! I highly recommend. Even if it's just for a while to learn how to do it, it can be an empowering experience! read more

This is my second time around training with Camilo. 6 years ago I trained with Camilo and I was able to get in the best shape of my life. I kind of slipped and stopped working out because of covid, my job, family, etc. So I called my boy Camilo and I have been training with him for 3 months. Thanks to Camilo I am getting back on track. Camilo has evolved in his training. Also he has given me nutrition sessions which am definitely looking forward to what the near future holds and make this a way of life for me. The way I see it, I am not getting any younger but, I am not getting any weaker either. I definitely recommend him for training and it does not matter where you are at in your physical condition. read more

Recall the Geico commercial where the actors don't know how to say quinoa and they toss a bunch of absurd (and comical) answers. That was me and food. A comical and absurd relationship that never worked no matter how many diets I tossed at my understanding of food and my body. Because of Camilo I learned to think about food in a sustainable way where I learn the nutrients I need to be healthy AND reach my weight goal. They are honest and focused with you and when you hit a milestone they are just as excited as you will be when you've reached that step. read more

My weight struggles started in my late 20s. If it wasn't trying the next fad diet, it was hiring a coach from 24 hour fitness; who recommended me to eat 1200 calories and drink muscle milk. Of course I was the queen of trying every diet plan in the industry. But what I wasn't good at, was at maintaining the weight loss and that would mean putting back all the weight loss and then some more. The bigger weight loss came in 2017. I joined Orangetheory and Weight Watchers. I lost 85 pounds and did three marathons. In late 2019 I was gaining some of the weight back. But decided to go hard on one of Orangetheory's challenges starting in January 2020. And then that's when everything changed for me as well as for everyone else. So since the gyms were closed I was not into exercising, it was boring to do it by myself. My food habits were down the drain. I would Doordash foods to my house and didn't want to cook. It was a depressing time for me. In fear of not getting my dad sick, I didn't see him close to a whole year; since I was considered an essential worker. 2021 started out as a disillusionment of me. I had gained all the 85 pounds back! My first class at Orangetheory was on Sunday February 7th, 2021. It was outdoors. And it was with a coach I never met before. His name? Coach Camilo. What a rude awakening it was for me! I had forgotten the feeling of exercising with form. I couldn't run, I couldn't lift a heavy weight, and rowing? My midsection was in the way. I would still take classes but couldn't run. I was mad at myself. Coach Camilo one time came over and said that maybe I should power walk first instead of trying to run. It was hard to hear that, but he had a point. So I listened. I figured why not? I have nothing to lose. And then one day I overheard him talk to someone that he did something apart from teaching classes at Orangetheory. I didn't hear what; so I decided to ask him. He told me he was a nutrition coach. He told me he would talk to me more about it. He came to my house and spoke to me and my husband. It felt like I was in college all over again taking biology and nutrition classes. So why would I be telling you my story and what does this has to do with Coach Camilo? Because I have dealt with weight loss issues close to 15 years. I have done every diet in the book as mentioned earlier. I have been with other personal trainers/coaches. I have done weight watchers. I've eliminated food to lose weight. All of these programs created great confusion and bad relationship with my food and myself. Coach Camilo with his knowledge has helped me to heal my relationship with food! He introduced me to the Macro Diet. He has worked with me for about a year and a half now. I have lost 40 pounds and counting. I eat with confidence and without any fear; no binge eating either. He has a check in form every week, he gives you guidance on what to do next. He is very passionate in what he does. He isn't only a nutrition coach but also a personal trainer. He educates his clients so that one day they can learn to do it on their own. That's what I am learning too. It's a process and it isn't a marathon. Unfortunately, we have been taught to lose weight as fast as can be without knowing how to sustain the weight loss. He isn't that type. He is always educating himself to help his clients thrive. Last but now least, I have personally felt so empowered by what I have learned from Coach Camilo that I have decided to make a career change and became a nutrition coach myself. So my recommendation to you is to hire Coach Camilo! You will not regret it! He is here to help you in every step of the way. read more

Don't make the mistake of second guessing the idea of training with Camilo! I met Camilo through my local gym after expressing how unmotivated and defeated I was becoming after years of the same routine and little results. I'm 25 and always have been active, but I've struggled with losing and gaining back the same 20 pounds since I was in high school. I've always tried to educate myself on what "worked best" or produced the best results from diets to amount of cardio, but the amount of conflicting info on the internet made it feel overwhelming. After 5 months of hard work with Camilo, I've lost 15 lbs of complete body fat (my BF% dropped from 23% to 14%). We started with the basics in terms of learning my anatomy to prioritize safety and also from a nutrition perspective, so I understood how to properly fuel my body. Now, we're lifting heavier weights each week and I'm eating whatever I want and STILL losing weight! My mental health and body positivity is the best it's ever been, not just because of the results, but because he's helped me learn and create full body wellness for myself. Camilo listens to your goals and creates a program that brings the results. Everything in his program for me has fit seamlessly into my lifestyle and feels sustainable no matter how circumstances change. Do yourself the biggest favor and start ASAP... once you see how bullet proof Camilo's training is, you'll only be wishing you started sooner. read more

I've been an avid athlete for the last five years and he knows exactly how to get you to that next level. Everything he does is intentional and he curates the workouts and nutrition training to fit YOU, this is not a one-size-fits-all program, he hones in on your goals and holds you accountable to reach them. I promise you will see and feel results when you work with him, you'll never want to go back to the same way you've been training. One of the best fitness professionals in the East Bay! read more

Let me tell you a short story on how I ended up working with Camilo... Once upon a time, I wanted to get fit during the pandemic. I signed up for orange theory and took a few classes with Coach Camilo. Shortly after starting my membership, I impulsively decide to run a half-marathon because we're in a pandemic, so why not do something crazy? So one day after class, I ask Camilo if he could be my running coach and next thing you know, July marks month 7 of having him as my lifting coach. Although his expertise wasn't in running, he had peers that did specialize in running and as well as showed me the importance of strength training/mobility work when it came to preparing for my race. I successfully ran the half-marathon with Camilo's help, but I will NOT be doing it again. The end. Camilo does a terrific job of molding his programs to your personal and professional goals. He's a blast to work with and pushes you in the best way. I've worked with a few personal trainers/coaches and truly feel like Camilo has a versatile style of coaching that works for everyone...and I mean everyone. I've seen positive changes with myself physically and mentally. I'm excited to continue working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn and understand how you can live and/or maintain a healthy way of living. read more

I am turning 50 this year. I wanted to do something for myself that would make me feel good. My friends recommended a personal trainer. I was extremely intimated thinking I was not going to be able to keep up with the pace, since I haven't exercise in many years. My friends and my husband joined so I joined. I can not tell you in words how happy I am. I highly recommend Camilo to anyone who needs to exercise to feel good or simply for health reasons. He works with you at your level. He knows exactly how much you can handle. Don't be afraid to try it. You will not regret it. read more

At the onset of 2020, I made a decision to make the best of a new year - and subsequently, the best of shelter-in-place - and prioritize my health. I did so successfully, losing a lot of weight through a slow but sustainable strategy of adhering to a moderate caloric deficit, daily cardio (walking, running and rowing) and tracking my progress with quarterly Dexafit scans (a medical-grade technology to measure body composition, including body fat and lean mass). I was feeling great and proud to have made sustainable lifestyle changes. But then, I hit a plateau. Not only with my weight, but towards the end of 2020 I was horrified to get a Dexafit scan back only to learn that I was losing almost as much lean muscle mass as I was fat mass. The scale was misleading me (as it often does!); I felt defeated and I realized my 'self-study' approach had reached it's practical limits... I needed help to push through my plateau and get to my body composition goals. Enter: Camilo. He approached me in a group fitness class to question mobility limitations he observed I had. He astutely assessed these limitations (years of high heels stunting my ankle mobility), he taught me why mobility matters, and offered to help with a tailored program. This first encounter epitomizes Camilo's style I've come to love and appreciate: he's an insightful, meticulous coach who is incredibly observant and solution-oriented to an individual's needs. I became both a nutrition and a training client. Since we began working together, Camilo has helped me to learn why the scale is only one piece of data, he's tailored both a customized a macro-based nutrition plan and a safe training plan that fits my goals, and he routinely assesses these plans to meet and challenge my increasing abilities. In four months working together, I successfully dropped 18 pounds of body fat and increased lean muscle mass. I now fit into clothes I can't remember wearing since college, and I have visible muscle definition growth. At 38 years old I'm in the best shape of my life, and there is no way I would have made this progress without Camilo's coaching and expertise. He has taught me that I can define and achieve my desired outcomes, no matter my age , and I know I can count on him to push me past my self-defined limits as only the best coaches can. Walk, don't run (literally!) and invest in yourself with Camilo's services. You only get one body in this life, and Camilo will ensure you have the very best vessel to live in for a long time to come. read more

I never thought I could look at myself and see an athlete until I began working with Camilo. I have been a runner since I was in high school, running as far as 30 kilometers for a race. Unfortunately, I took a nasty spell in Sept 2020 and fell, catching myself with straight arms, locked elbows. I sprained my shoulder and the scar tissue made cross training impossible. I gave up on trying to do load bearing exercises like planks and even took a LONG break from running. I gained weight and kind of gave up on my health. Yeah, sure it was a pandemic, but because I didn't see myself as an athlete, I figured there was no point in caring about my body size or my abilities. I met Camilo through my local fitness-class based gym. He was constantly having to provide me modifications for exercises because of my shoulder injury. One day he spoke with me about mobility and an opportunity to work with him on reestablishing my range of motion and even getting stronger. After a particularly humbling workout, I decided to follow through with him. Here I am, 6 months later and I am able to do push-ups, squat with a bar, perform deadlifts, and kinda do chin-ups. Camilo's program wasn't about anything fancy. It was learning and perfecting the basics, which is so important for someone like me who has ALWAYS looked at a gym or weight training as a daunting experience. He worked with me on active stretching and the importance of foam rolling. The biggest and most surprising change was his nutrition assistance though! TW: When I was in high school and a runner on the track and cross country teams, I had struggled with an eating disorder. I wouldn't eat because I thought all runners were supposed to be super thin and I have always had a voluminous figure. Camilo took my fears of tracking calories and meals, my fear of using a scale, and my fear of social comparisons and taught me skills and behaviors that would help me grow and manage my weight without triggering or relapsing my ED. Together we would talk about why eating the balance and macro-proportions I do was important to our training and would actually help me lose weight and maintain a HEALTHY and HAPPY lifestyle. He never told me to not eat my emotional comfort foods (ice cream, Hot Cheetohs, etc) but he taught me how to budget calories/macros and how to proportion. He taught me to be strong in all senses of the word. He worked with me to build my strength and my confidence in the weight room. He helped me establish a healthier and more effecient relationship with food. And all while being a beacon of encouragement and friendship through some very difficult and painful experiences. If you look at yourself and don't see an athlete, Camilo is the perfect coach to show you those parts you're choosing not to see. My voluminous body is muscle craving proper food and well coached movements. My strength comes from my resilience and the sweat I put into our sessions. I haven't changed all that much as a person but I know now that I'm an athlete simply because Camilo taught me how to reframe my situation and choose to see my own athleticism. read more

If you're looking to get snatched for the summer, this trainer is NOT for you. I've been work on ng with Camilo for 4 months but honestly it seems so much longer. Camilo is laser focused on teaching you about your body inside and out, he is a fitness nerd which is absolutely to your benefit and is attuned to each and every one of his clients picking up when you come in distracted, tired, angry, etc. I came in thinking this would be a 3 months situation but Camilo has far outpaced his value teaching me about how to optimally move and fuel my body. While I can't say I've lost even 10lbs of weight, I will say my body comp has changed significantly and my rate of weight loss is more of me not being diligent with training on my days when I'm not with Camilo. All in all, health truly is wealth and this is the investment that has had the highest ROI this year. read more

I've been working with Camilo for about four months and in that short time I feel stronger, fitter, more energized, and more confident in my body and my abilities than I have in a long, long time. The difference in working with Camilo is his completely holistic approach to health and fitness. Camilo is really about giving his clients as many tools as possible to empower them to achieve their goals. He is generous with his time, breath of knowledge, and is authentically passionate about his work and seeing his clients succeed. He is honestly my biggest cheerleader and his enthusiasm is incredibly powerful in helping me grow and improve. Camilo's coaching style really feels like a collaboration which has been so crucial in making the work that we're undertaking feel sustainable. I feel like what I'm doing with him has been truly life changing as far as my outlook on fitness, nutrition, and overall well being. To put it simply, Camilo's coaching services have exceeded my expectations. His plan takes into account not only our in person strength training sessions, but also provides guidance for nutrition, overall wellness, recovery, and for workouts and activities outside of his gym. Since working with Camilo I can confidently exercise at a big box gym without intimidation or confusion, which is something I was unable to do just a few months ago. But I really started to notice results almost immediately upon implementing his nutrition plan, seeing better performance and more muscle tone in my body. His nutrition plan has been gradual, making it easy for me to implement - and thoughtfully curated, with bi-weekly check ins to inform adjustments based on changes to training regimen, lifestyle, and other factors. I would highly recommend Camilo to anybody looking to get serious about their health, and especially to women (he is awesome at working with his female clients and really takes our unique needs into account, which is not something that every trainer does -- Even Other Women!) and to those who are maybe new to his style of training. Overall I appreciate how Camilo treats each client as an individual. And he's just a super warm and friendly dude. It's been an absolutely pleasure working with him so far and look forward to continuing my journey under his guidance! read more

I was 6 months postpartum with my second child and desperate to find a way back to being fit, and the universe brought me Camilo. Working with Camilo has been one of the best things that's happened to me this year. In just a matter of months, my perspective on fitness and healthy living has been completely redefined through his personal training and nutrition coaching. His personal training focuses on the mind, body and soul in that it's not only about physical change, but mental endurance and emotional stability. Camilo's holistic approach is truly unique -- movements that once would have caused me severe knee or back pain are ones that I can now do pain-free thanks to Camilo. He's truly the best of the best! If you put in the work, he will get you results and transform how you think of your body and what you're capable of (I'd be willing to put money on it, he's that good!). read more

Mannnnn! I've known Camilo for years now meet we were soccer teammates over 7 years ago after college I maintained pretty active with soccer, gym and other activities. I thought I had it all figured out with working out and calorie intake but wow did I have it completely wrong I gained some unwanted weight and I couldn't figure it out! I was fluctuating in weight, I would lose and gain the weight back on, so finally I decided to talk to Camilo about my situation and in the last two weeks of talking to him he's dropped so much knowledge and I could see why now I've been struggling to lose weight, I'm excited for this investment in my life. Even though I don't live near Camilo he's has been great on communicating I love that I can do this remotely. read more

After struggling to lose weight & keep it off, I'm so grateful my paths crossed with Camilo. I met him while training and he taught me that the hard work you put into the gym is wasted if you don't support it with the right nutrition plan. This was back in early 2021 and I needed to hear this as I was 192lbs and 22% body fat (5'11", 42 yo) and carrying a lot of weight from over eating during COVID. Camilo helped me with my macros and nutrition coaching and the weight started coming off. I'm now at 163lbs and 14.5% body fat after 5 months. I eat whatever I want, but do it responsibly. I know the effects of food on my body now and how that fits into my fitness goals. I couldn't have done this without Camilo. Follow the plan and his coaching and you'll be shocked at how fast you can turn your body around and keep it that way! read more

I first met Camilo while taking his class at Orangetheory. Right away I could tell he was/is very passionate about fitness and overall bodily health, while also being super approachable and an overall cool dude. Prior to working with Camilo, I was fairly active but never really felt like I could hold onto the physical progress. I would fall into a lot of yo-yo type patterns with fitness and nutrition - a lot over exercising without eating enough. Within the first month of working with Camilo I had dropped about 2lbs and more than 2" around my waist. It felt amazing and I was eating more calorically than I ever had before! He gave me tools to put into practice, not rules to follow. There are no "bad" foods working with Camilo.. carbs and fats are not your enemy (it took me a minute to actually believe that). Another aspect of Camilo that I really value is how understanding and supportive he is. He holds accountability while also making sure that you are okay on all levels - mentally and physically. He wants to see you hit your goals just as much as you want to hit your goals. My physical strength, self confidence, and knowledge about fitness + nutrition have grown so much since working with Camilo and I truly hope that more people take the opportunity to work with him! read more
