“Ricardo makes me feel safe, comfortable, and challenged all at the same time. He encourages me, building my confidence and self esteem. He has an impressive knowledge of body mechanics and is very attuned to how to improve my body without injuring it. And although the workouts are hard at times, he makes them so much fun.

I have become a strong woman — and at 42, he has changed the way I see myself. I owe a lot to Ricardo.”

“Ricardo is a highly trained professional who is concerned about his clients and their health and safety. He has changed my life.”

“Over the course of about a year and half, I trained with Ricardo 3 to 4 times a week and was able to lose 70 pounds. Ricardo worked diligently with me on a strength and conditioning program. I started to lift weights, run on the treadmill, and I even learned how to jump rope — shocking because I’m so uncoordinated! ;-)

I’m in the best health of my life now. I’m 59 years old and my co-workers think I’m only 45. What a great feeling!”

“I always look forward to my sessions with Ricardo. He makes sure that he knows how my body (and mind!) are feeling each day — and then tailors my workouts accordingly. I leave the gym feeling simultaneously tired, proud, and happy. Thanks, Ricardo!”

“Ricardo has helped me with my endurance, strength, and confidence in achieving my fitness goals. He has a keen ability to know when I need to be pushed a little harder and when I have reached my limit. (I have a bad knee and he always makes sure that my workouts don’t aggravate it.) I’m a registered nurse and my work schedule changes weekly, but Ricardo has a flexible schedule and works with me so that I can fit my workouts in each week.

For anyone thinking about getting a personal trainer, Ricardo is well worth it!”

“Ricardo pushes me past the limits I’ve set for myself.”
