In all my years of working out with personal trainers, I have never had a trainer who has the deep understanding for physical mechanics and strength training that V does. Working out with V is about more than helping you get strong, or train for a particular sport – both of which he excels at doing – but through unique exercises and tailored workouts, V adds the extra piece of making sure you mentally and physically internalize the stability and the control of athletic (and everyday) movement.

I have benefitted from and observed V successfully train every person at every age and level to have a lifetime of as much fitness and sport as they want. V brings incredible knowledge, talent, intuition, skill, creativity and patience to every session. Each workout is thoughtfully attuned to what I need and my goals, from working through injuries to training for events, games and races. V helped me uncover and overcome my weaknesses and has made me a stronger, healthier athlete, capable of reaching new goals and teaching my body a way of being able to maintain flexibility, endurance and strength for life. V watches how you move and adjusts exercises accordingly. Each workout has amazing variety: TRX, weights, machines, ropes, and often, just your own body, stretching, pushing, pulling, squatting, lunging and moving in ways you never imagined, awakening and strengthening and challenging muscles you never knew you had. The big stuff, the little stuff – V gets it all!

In addition to V’s amazing knowledge and ability to teach, he is just such a nice guy that you can’t be mad when he politely but firmly informs you of an extra 30 pushups or teaches you a new exercise you thought you would never do. Your progress matters to him as much as it does to you. V trains many people, yet he keeps track of every individual’s and issues and their goals. V is devoted to continually honing his knowledge and constantly incorporates the latest proven techniques of training and movement.

I had been training with V working towards my first triathlon when, in a freak, unrelated accident, I shattered my leg. I thought it was over and I called V and said, “Now what?” V replied, “Now you show up on Monday. If you’re willing to keep working, so am I.” And we did. He kept me moving and strong and when the time came, he supplemented my physical therapy for the rehab for my leg. He has such a vast library of movement and exercises in his head, that a set of crutches didn’t even make him blink. He saved me. He viewed my recovery to be as much as his goal as it was mine. He’s that devoted to his clients and he’s THAT good!
