Location Glendale, CA

My Name is Elvis. I'm newcomer in the field of personal training, fluent in Spanish and English. Certified under the National Academy of Sports Medicine NASM. Motivated from personal experience and as a cancer survivor I owe it to challenging situations that builds character to keep moving forward. I want to share my experiences and assist beginners in fitness, newbies who want to take on their first sporting event ( obstacle course race, contact sports, running a race etc) adults wanting to stay fit and independently functional and anyone who just wants to live life's dynamic environment with minimal injury. As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, former obstacle course racer and dancer, my goal is to condition the body to endure challenge, prevent injury and stay resilient through corrective exercise techniques. Train with few equipment, utilize the outdoors and the human machine to build strength, stamina, endurance and flexibility. Habituate new breathing techniques that will educate the body to stay durable in challenging situations of exercise, such as dealing with those minor aches and pains that come with training. This will eventually translate to a confident mind ready for the tough moments in life.

Client Success Story

Started training a client in Bogota, Colombia via Skype and email, early 2018 for her first half marathon. She came to me with knee pain and was unsure if she could ever do one.. So far she has completed 2 half marathons with no knee pain, beating her first run time 10 minutes faster. Motivated to continue, our next goal is her first triathlon that will lead her to her first Iron Man in Cartagena Colombia 2019. Very Proud of her.

Puedo decir que mi experiencia de entrenamiento fue completamente exitosa y soy muy afortunada por contar con el apoyo de este gran entrenador y gran ser humano. Obtuve los resultados que esperaba e incluso mucho mejores porque durante la carrera de 21 k mi cuerpo contó con todas las características necesarias para terminarla sin parar, que era mi meta principal. Disfruté de todo el recorrido y no tuve dolores de mis rodillas que era una de mis mas grandes preocupaciones, él me ayudó en el fortalecimiento de mi cuerpo teniendo en cuenta tambien la alimentación que es fundamental en un buen proceso.

"I can say that my training experience was completely successful and I am very fortunate to have the support of this great coach and great human being. I got the results I expected and even much better because during the 21k race my body had all the necessary characteristics to finish it without stopping, which was my main goal. I enjoyed the whole journey without any knee pain, which was one of my biggest concerns. He helped me in strengthening my body taking into account also the food that is fundamental in a good process."
