Where do I even start? I've been a client of Hugo's since 2022. I was looking for someone knowledgeable, kind, professional, and motivated. Hugo is exactly THAT. I can say with confidence he is worth the investment - one that will not only change you physically, but mentally as well. From the beginning Hugo was clear in detailing what it would take for me to reach my fitness goal (macros, exercise, sleep, water intake, etc). In the gym he always reviews the exercise beforehand and that's helped tremendously with my form as a gym noob. This foundation has helped me avoid injuries and gain strength. It's also made me a smarter consumer of the fitness industry. The amount of fitness misinformation on social media is astronomical and I'm happy to say the knowledge I've gained from Hugo has helped me decipher the lies from the truths. During sessions I appreciate how he checks in on you if you are having a hard time keeping up and adjusts the exercises as necessary. They are still challenging but not to the point where you feel like you're going to pass out. I've been with coaches who push you to the point of exhaustion and that's never been fun. When it comes to macros, he's helpful in giving tips and tricks to stick to them. He shares ways to meet your protein intake both in your diet and via supplements. That's been the hardest part of my fitness journey, but if you're consistent that will change your body the most! That being said, what makes Hugo stand out from the other trainers are his personal values and personality. He strongly believes in family and giving back to the community. He's constantly trying to learn from others and uplift those around him. Bearing witness to that example motivates me to be disciplined and healthy.

I cannot recommend Chris highly enough! As a personal trainer, he sets the standard. From our very first session, it was clear he possesses an extensive knowledge of fitness and nutrition, delivering personalized workout plans that are challenging, fun, and most importantly, effective. Chris' attention to my personal needs and the adjustments he made to my routine have led to improvements in my strength, stamina, and overall health. Even more impressively, the progress has been steady and sustainable, which is truly a testament to Chris' ability to cultivate lasting changes rather than quick fixes. But for me the true highlight of training with Chris is his engaging personality. He's always positive, approachable, and his sense of humor makes every session fun. Even on those tough days when the motivation is hard to find, he has a knack for making the workout feel like less of a chore and more of a rewarding part of my day. If you're seeking a personal trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, fosters a positive environment, and consistently delivers real results, look no further than Chris.

Not sure why I have yet to write a review but, better late than never! I have been training with Hugo since mid March of 2023. I've had experiences in the past with personal trainers that left me at times feeling hopeless. I had done some research, read through at least 30+ reviews of Hugo's clients and decided to reach out!I can honestly say that I'm so happy I didn't completely give up hope on personal training. Hugo is a true gem in this industry and is such a pleasure to work with. He challenges you, motivates you, and treats every session as if it's your first. His attention to detail, his professionalism, and his commitment to his clients definitely doesn't go unnoticed. I feel grateful to be working with Hugo as one of his clients, and truly enjoy every training session- even though it sucks sometimes! :) I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with him!
