Testimonials

"We started our fitness training because my husband was having balance issues, and I knew Carlos has a lot of training and experience working with seniors. Now we both work with Carlos, and we are both feeling much healthier in body and spirit. We work on balance, strength, endurance, cardio, breathing, stretching, stress reduction, coordination, brain health, etc. The whole experience is great for our morale. He’s kind and understanding, and he does expect us to follow through during the week. We are grateful for his help."

“I have worked with Carlos for many years. During this period of time and have referred other people to him, including an old woman friend, who said working with him is the best thing she's ever done for maintaining her physical health. Carlos has always taken time to make sure I get the most accurate exercises for my personal needs. I have ridden bicycles for years, an activity which just about ended my life after suffering an accident caused by a drunk driver. I started with Carlos as soon as I could move, and he has worked with me mostly for balance (which was greatly affected by the accident). He's the best.”

Bob C.

"I started working with Carlos two years ago and the results are impressive, to say the least. I’m going to be 73 in a couple months. Doctors have been trying to get me to lose five pounds for over twenty years; with Carlos, I’ve lost eleven pounds. All of my numbers are now in the green: cholesterol, body fat index, and my sugar number has gone from 6.4 (just shy of diabetic) to 5.8. Physically, people who see me wonder what I’ve been doing. It’s hard work... three times a week. But working out with Carlos is never boring. He is always looking out for the safest way to do any exercise. I would have hurt myself by now, without his temperance and knowledge. I’ve gone from using 8-10 pound dumbbells to 15-20 pounders, and my body shows it. It’s too bad I didn’t have this “six pack” when I was 27 instead of 72; I could have put it to good use a bit more then. I’m happy and I’ll keep coming back."

"Carlos is fabulous! He has changed my life. I feel so very lucky to see him twice a week. His biggest concern is always my fitness. His attention to detail astonishes me. He always knows how many reps I’m at. He is always watching my breathing and my form. 5 stars isn’t enough!"

Bill R.

"I have been working with Carlos weekly for several years and I’m very glad to have his guidance ... and also his company, because he's so nice. He comes to my house once a week. Carlos is very knowledgeable, and he has many years of education and experience working with students and clients of all ages. He has a pleasant and effective way of working with seniors. He gives me guidance and exercises on cardio, strength, balance, flexibility, stretching, ways to be safer from falling, and much more. Working with Carlos helps me to feel fitter than I would otherwise, including muscle tone, mental clarity and endurance... and I've not fallen for years."

Lance B.

"Carlos is a golden thread in the fabric of our lives. My husband and I are in our 80's and Carlos keeps us in shape. He comes to our home for our workout sessions and we so appreciate his teaching technique, sensitivity and patience. Because of his physiological knowledge and professionalism, he is excellent at guiding us in working all our muscle groups, flexibility, balance and brain fitness. As a result, we feel great!

Sandy & Orlyn S.

“I’ve been training with Carlos twice a week, and the results have been incredible. At 60, I feel as strong as I did in my twenties, my cardiovascular fitness has improved so I can enjoy longer hikes, my immune system feels stronger, and I sleep so much better. I have worked with four different trainers during the past 8 years until I found him. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer than Carlos!”
