Francisco is an absolutely extraordinary trainer. His close attention to form, his insightful suggestions , and his encouraging attitude were highly motivating to me. After working out with him, I know he'd be the perfect trainer for my father-in-law who is in his eighties and had become discouraged with his diminished physicality after a double bypass and subsequent complications. Man, was I right! My f-i-l is stronger, more flexible, and most of all, takes pride again in taking on and accomplishing increasingly difficult workouts. He completely trusts Francisco to push him just enough but not too far. HIGHLY recommend!

We can't speak highly enough about how pleased we are with Francisco!! Barry is a senior, former amature athlete, experiencing joint and mobility issues. Francisco analyzed (and continues to evaluate), Barry's strengths and needs. He can minutely adjust as needed. He welcomes our whole family participation! Barry has gained both strength and balance since he started working with Francisco. Wow!

Francisco has been a fantastic strength building coach. He has an incredible knowledge of the body and its functions and gives great instruction and encouragement. He has made a profound impact in my strength training development. I highly recommend him.

Francisco is an amazing fitness coach. He is very patient and thoughtful. He pays close attention to your form to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. He will call and follow up often to follow your progress because he really genuinely cares about his clients succeeding. He is a tremendous human being and coach, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Francisco is a dear friend of many years. We’ve shared a lot in common, but I had no idea of his amazing skill as a trainer until I began working with him in the last a year or so. He notices the slightest departure from proper form, keeping the exercise safe as well as effective. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is exhaustive, and he has a teacher’s skill at using that knowledge to explain things for a layman. Most of all, he gets results. Not like a drill sergeant—he is patient, supportive, and careful, especially with older clients (I’m 74) who are more vulnerable to injury. But he challenges us, session by session, to take the next step. I have been exercising most of my life, but never seen the kind of gains I’ve had with Francisco. When I started working with him, I did overhead presses with about nine pounds. I’m now doing 48 pounds. Not much by weight-lifting standards, but a major gain for me. I cannot recommend Francisco more highly. I have worked with good trainers before, but he is THE BEST!
