TESTIMONIALS.

I can’t say enough about the profound effect training with Jesse has had on me. His whole-self approach includes both physical and mental wellbeing, bringing all the elements for success — from proper nutrition to fostering a positive mindset — into focus. As a result, not only has he helped me achieve my initial fitness goals, he’s helped me to see beyond them and understand what I am truly capable of — at the gym and in life. I consider Jesse not only an exceptional trainer, but a mentor, coach and friend.

Working out with Jesse for close to two years is the best investment I have ever made for myself, not only for my body but my overall wellbeing. As a seasoned trainer, Jesse knows how to work with your body to deliver the best results and how to avoid injury. He truly cares for his clients and wants the best for you focusing as much on your mindset as he does on your body. His extensive knowledge of the body in addition to diet and overall wellness is what makes him the best personal trainer. He delivers!

I was an athlete once upon a time. Then I lost it all to old age. Jesse revived my spirit, and helped turn back the clock on my body and form 30 years.

I've always looked for different ways to train your body. There's a great variety of ways to work on your body, for example, yoga, Pilates and fitness. But none of those really satisfied me, and at a certain moment I was no longer sure of what could help me in getting physically stronger. I met Jesse at my place of work and when I saw the amazing results with other dancers that were training with him, I figured I needed someone to give me the tools to get stronger as well. So I started training with Jesse and very quickly I started to feel an immense difference. Working with the TRX and your own body weight was the best solution for me, and best of all: it was fun! Visualization, the focus on your breath, working from your core, and searching for your limits not only gives you a stronger physique but also makes you grow in your mind. The combination of strengthening, balancing and stretching was the exact kind of training that I was looking for. I was able to apply the work that I've done with Jesse through out my day as a dancer, and I've really enjoyed the time we’ve spent together.
