Carlos is super committed to his clients and will assist you in every way possible until you reach your goals. He will not let you down and you won't regret paying for his services. It is worth it! I am very happy to have him as my personal trainer and to see the results. He started by doing an initial evaluation to see where I was in terms of body fat and cardio endurance, know any health condition, and learn about my short/long term physical goals. Depending on how my body was reacting to different type of workouts, he adjusted the routine if necessary for better and faster results. He always demonstrate not only commitment and sensitivity but also passion for what he do making me feel comfortable having him as my trainer and trusting his knowledge.
