Testimoinials

I met Edwin in early March of 2022. At the time, I was just finishing up my Physical Therapy on my foot and ankle. We proceeded to do Edwin's consultation and assessment. Not only did we find out that I needed to work on my ankles, but because I was on my knee-supported scooter for many months, we had to work on my scapula and upper body rotation. Ever since then, I have been able to improve strength and mobility, with continued progress. He sees things as small as toes not working properly during a squat while creating a plan or program that is individualized to your needs and allows you to be better each week. I have had a lot of experience with trainers from different parts of the United States, and in the short time training with Edwin, he has surpassed many of them, including others I have had in San Antonio.

I had Lapiplasty 3D Bunion surgery in October 2024. This required me to wear a boot for 8 weeks, and during that time, I really didn't get any exercise. I had worked with Nate previously to increase muscle tone and strength and knew he was the perfect trainer to get me back on my feet. There was really one main goal at first, and that was to walk without a limp. I was blown away by Nate's knowledge and his ability to provide the exact exercises necessary to heal my foot. In no time, I was walking without a limp and soon reached my goal of walking 5 miles. Nate has mastered the art of human connection to encourage his clients. It felt like he was my new best friend, checking on me between sessions and being a huge cheerleader as I reached each milestone. At 62, my muscle tone and overall health are the best ever, thanks to Nate. 

Edwin is awesome. He has been my Trainer for two years. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and modifies exercises as needed. I would never have achieved the level of fitness/strength at my senior age (71) without his encouragement and understanding. I also would have had back surgery if it weren't for Edwin's knowledge of the body and how it works. I look forward to going to the gym and working out with Edwin.

He has a great attitude and personality.

In 2016, I suddenly got sharp pain in both my hands and elbows to the point I could no longer do all the activities I loved to do. I had to say goodbye to Acroyoga, Body Pump classes, Rock Climbing, Taekwondo, Badminton, playing piano, and even painting. It felt like my life had come to an end, as I was a highly active person. I got depressed. I wanted to claim my life back, which sent me on a quest to figure out how I can cure my hands. From 2016 to 2019, I spent almost $15k on 7 doctors (2 Neurologists, 4 different orthopedic surgeons/Hand, wrist, and elbow specialists, and a Neurosurgeon), 2 chiropractors, Occupational Therapy, Arrosti, and even Acupuncture. All of which took my money and did absolutely nothing for me, to the point I was thinking about burning my nerves so I would not feel the pain anymore. In 2020, I met Edwin. I walked up to him and asked him to train me to look like an IG model, but with one condition: NO UPPER BODY WEIGHTS because I had some sort of RMI. Edwin patiently listened to my reasoning and assessed me, and to my surprise, said: "Your scapula wings out and your wrists and elbows are compensating for them. We are not working on your looks. We will be focusing on your health!". I was initially skeptical and a little bummed because my goal was to look cute, while Edwin was adamant on focusing on my pain and health matters. Fast forward a year, and my life had changed. I currently have minimal to no pain. I can work out my upper body with weights. I have become active again, and even though I will not risk hurting myself by doing sports that are tough on my wrists, I have managed to reclaim my health in a way no doctor or therapy ever did. I owe Edwin for life. I have not seen anyone like him. He explains the moves in detail and educates his clients. He provided me with tools and an awareness that will help me navigate through my active life. I can now look at other trainers and their trainees and see what they are doing wrong. Many don't know they are hurting themselves versus helping themselves by doing the right moves the wrong way. Edwin did what 7 doctors, 2 chiropractors, OT, Arrosti, and acupuncture did not do for me. As a result, I felt comfortable enough to refer my co-worker, Karl Hoffman, to Edwin. Karl had an injured shoulder for years, which was impacting his golf game. 10 sessions and Karl's shoulder not only got better, but his golf game improved drastically. That is a whole different story that must be heard from Karl himself. I wish there were more trainers as educated and giving as Edwin. He truly cares. He truly helps. I was lucky to stumble upon him. Edwin changed my life for the better.

I met Nathaniel 5 years ago, and since then, I’ve experienced so much growth in the gym. For the past 2 years, I’ve been training consistently and following his programs—and I’ve lost 30 pounds in the process. Beyond the physical results, he’s helped me regain my confidence and happiness. As someone who works from home and lived a very sedentary lifestyle, Nathaniel got me back into the gym with programs that are effective, sustainable, and tailored to my needs. He’s also incredibly versatile—I trained with him leading up to my wedding, and most recently, he prepared me to compete in a Hyrox this past March. Whatever your goals are, Nathaniel and Edwin know how to get you there.
