I knew I needed to build a regular habit of strength training to improve my health, but I could not figure out how to make it happen. Every time I tried something, I struggled to stick with it, and I started to feel like a failure. Stuck is the word I would use.
What is different this time is that I have support. I am not trying to figure everything out on my own, and I have a plan that is sustainable. That is what Einar at IKAIKA Personal Fitness gave me.
I have not seen big changes on the scale yet, but my clothes are fitting better and I am stronger. My smart scale shows my body fat percentage dropping and my muscle mass increasing. My confidence is growing too.… read full review

Reviews
Before IKAIKA, my health was the one thing that never made the list. Two boys in sports, a full work schedule, and most nights after work spent driving them to practice. Workouts and meal prep were always a next-week thing. After more than 15 years of not training consistently, I felt helpless and overwhelmed. Fad diets and quick-fix workout plans were my go-to.
What is different this time is having a coach. Einar understands what it takes to juggle work, family events, and whatever time is left over.

Before I started at IKAIKA I was only doing cardio and actually losing muscle, and I would crash by 3 every day from not fueling my body right. My posture was terrible and I felt stuck in the same routine. Working with a personal trainer here changed all of that. At 59, I'm now lifting weights and building real strength for the first time, gaining muscle, and eating natural foods instead of just grinding through cardio.
