I began working with Marcos five years ago while recovering from rotator cuff surgery. Through targeted exercises with therapy bands and a variety of stretches, I have significantly improved the strength and range of motion in my shoulders. During the shutdown, when prolonged sitting led to sciatica symptoms, Marcos guided me through a series of stretches that quickly alleviated the issue. We have since incorporated those exercises into our routine to keep the symptoms at bay.Beyond addressing specific challenges, my work with Marcos has enhanced my overall strength, balance, and flexibility. As I approach my 70th year, I feel stronger, more mobile, and healthier than ever.

I’ve been working with Marcos for nearly a year. When we started, I had not worked out in many years and had developed challenges with posture, strength, and persistent muscle knots/pain. After his initial evaluation he said “you are not ready to train yet” and started me on many weeks of basic stretching. Over the past year I’ve dramatically improved my posture, switched to standing desks, built a good foundation of upper body strength and started to make progress on my muscular pain. Marcos brings the right balance of flexibility and pushiness to meet you where you are at, but to encourage and push you to be better even if you are starting from rock bottom.

I have been working out with Marcos for some months already. I worked out alone for long time but since I started a training with Marcos once a week I realized how important is to work with a person with experience in physical training and Marcos is the one. He can teach you the most important exercises according to your age and do it properly which is key. Marcos is a very patient person and a great trainer with high knowledge of physical workout. I will highly recommend him if you want to improve the quality of your training!

I've gone to trainers in the past and I never wanted to continue with them because I didn't feel that they could actually customize my program so that it fit me. I always felt like I was given a cookie cutter program and I'd have to work on that program or I just wasn't going to get to where I wanted to be physically.At that point I would stop going to them because I didn't feel like my trainers had listened to what my goals were or that I was benefiting from their instruction. I didn't have any confidence that my trainers knew what they were doing or that they cared I was performing the correct exercises properly before moving onto something new.With Marcos I could see that the cared from the moment I met him. He had me do some basic movements and was able to correctly assess what I needed to start with. I went to my chiropractor to start taking care of my body again and my chiropractor said the exact same thing that Marcos had said during his assessment of me. He was able to map out where I needed to go from there.He paid attention to every little detail of each exercise that I did. I've never had a personal trainer actually care about my well being and seeing that I'm getting results. If I ever have any questions he is right there to help me and he is extremely patient. I never feel that I shouldn't ask any questions and he can explain things very simply so that I actually understand why I'm doing an exercise instead of just being told to do something with no explanation.He has changed my life for the better and inspired me to become a better healthier version of myself. He is the definition of a professional who genuinely loves what he does and it's because of that that I won't train with anyone else.
