“I only trust Leo with my workouts and training. He thinks so deeply about my specific physical strengths and limitations and figures out a way to make me stronger and fitter while also carefully managing my body so I don't get hurt. Programming workouts is like breathing to him, he does it so seemingly effortlessly yet he always takes me just far enough to my limit to get stronger without getting injured. You could keep looking at trainers or you could sign up with him and thank yourself a few months later for doing it.”

“I’ve been consistently working out with Leo since October 2020. My goal has been to change my body composition and to get a stronger upper body. I’ve not only seen changes there. But, I’ve also seen a huge difference with my endurance and overall athletic performance. Leo always keeps the workouts fun and challenging too. I am so stoked with my results and happy to have Leo as a coach!”

“Deciding to get personalized training from Leo has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my fitness journey. He is very in tune with what goals you want to achieve with his programming and will do what it takes to get you there, at your own pace and fitness level. Your goals become his goals.
My training has never felt like it has been from a template, or a “one size fits all” regimen, it has always felt personalized to both my strengths and weaknesses.
Leo is as genuine as they come, he is a great communicator, is always available, and each week I look forward to seeing what he has planned for me.”

“Coach Leo is one of the most passionate and dedicated coaches in the business. I especially love how he stays in touch after every single workout and gives me positive feedback as well as reminds me to speak up if I think my programming needs to be modified. It’s also so refreshing to be coached by someone that isn’t focused on solely weight loss for his client. Rather his goal is to coach his clients to gain strength, power, and confidence— something I needed after the birth of my son while juggling such a loaded schedule.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Leo! His creativity and style of never selecting the same exercises over and over makes weight lifting fun! Since working through my lower body strengthening programming, I have felt stronger and more motivated to hit my leg days hard, and he definitely has me lifting heavier than ever before! Leo responds quickly to messages and videos as you work through your workouts each day, and is always providing feedback. Leo is the best!”

“
Leo has been my coach since 2015, and I have been doing his programming exclusively since spring of 2020. Over the past year and a half, he has been consistently creative and challenging with my programming. He communicates frequently with me to check on my goals and progress, and adjusts and tailors my workouts to accommodate any injuries, time constraints, or equipment changes. Leo’s experience and knowledge about fitness allows him to program workouts that not only challenge me physically, but also push me mentally to do more than I thought I could, and certainly more than I was able to do before working with him. He knows when to push me, and when to program “fun” WODs for me. The amount of variety speaks to his expertise in programming, and I have never been bored! I am a 40 year old mother of two, and Leo has kept me in better shape than I was in my 20s. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for challenging, fun, and personalized workouts!”

“Leo has been my coach for years - in person and online! He’s guided me through multiple seasons of my life including; returning to CrossFit after an extended hiatus to competing, through pregnancy, postpartum, injuries, surgeries and back to competing again. Leo has always found safe, efficient, effective and exciting ways to challenge me, keep me motivated, push me past where I thought was possible and know when to hold me back a bit during all of these times. Whether you are looking to compete, hit a new PR or just find a healthier lifestyle - I can’t recommend Leo enough!”
— Shannon Ochoa
“Leo is the best personal trainer and coach I have ever worked with ! He’s created a wide range of programs specific to my ever-changing fitness goals and available workout equipment. He’s helped me achieve my “wedding ready” body, as well as train for competitive runs. He even created a couples workout for my husband and I to do the day of our wedding (per my request ) . Equally important, he’s always quick to respond to my questions/requests and a genuinely kind person. I love working with Coach Leo!”

“Leo is a phenomenal coach and even better person. My strength and fitness have vastly improved since working with him. His programming is simultaneously pragmatic and scientifically based. He applied concepts from exercise science, physical rehabilitation and psychology to form an integrated fitness program for me. His training and guidance has helped forge my goal of being a ‘better human!’ “
