I’ve been training with Gil for over 2 years, focusing on weight loss, strength building, and proper nutrition needed to hit my goals.

Gil is incredibly knowledgeable about exercise physiology and nutrition. He always ensure my workouts are challenging, yet manageable, and provides detailed explanations of each exercise.

Gil is always available to answer any questions I have, whether it’s about proper form or nutrition advice, and his positive attitude keeps me motivated even on tough days.

He has created a personalized program that adapts as I progress. Each session feels tailored to my needs, whether that’s improving my flexibility or increasing my strength.

Since working with Gil, I’ve lost over 9” around my stomach, gained muscle definition that I never had before, which has helped me feel more confident than ever.

Overall, my experience with Gil has been incredible. His dedication to helping me reach my goals has been invaluable, and I’m excited to continue training with him!!

I highly recommend Gil to anyone looking to improve their fitness. Gil’s expertise, personalized approach, and constant support have made all the difference in my journey. Thank you Gil!!

Exceptional Personal Trainer - Highly Recommended!

Gil is a phenomenal trainer with an impressive depth of knowledge in fitness, nutrition, conditioning, and strength training. Every workout he designs is meticulously planned, combining exercises that are both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

He takes the time to assess where you are in your fitness journey and then motivates you to push past limits you never thought possible. Through a combination of diet and structured workouts--I lost 10-15 pounds, dropped at least a size (if not more), and achieved weightlifting milestones I never imagined. His emphasis on proper technique ensures workouts are safe and effective, minimizing the risk of injury.

The energy in Gil's group classes is always positive and motivating. He creates a fun and engaging atmosphere where we not only train hard but also have candid, insightful conversations about nutrition and overall wellness.

If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares, challenges you, and makes fitness enjoyable, Gil is the one!

Every group session is well organized, and he never minds repeating instructions as many times as needed. It’s easy to stay engaged and motivated. Gil has a great ability to push you to go stronger while ensuring proper form and safety. If you have any limitations, bad knees for me, he provides alternative exercises so you can still get a great workout. Gil is a delight and I look forward to each class.

My husband and I have been working with Gil as our personal trainer for seven months, and it's been amazing. Gil made special workout plans just for us, based on what we needed. He knows a lot about fitness and healthy eating, and he always makes sure we're doing exercises safely.

What's really great about Gil is how he keeps us motivated. He's always upbeat and encouraging during our workouts, which makes exercising fun. Even on tough days, his positivity helps us stay on track.

Gil is also really reliable and professional. He's always well-prepared for our sessions. If we have questions or concerns, he's quick to help even outside of our training times.

Overall, Gil has been a huge help to us in reaching our fitness goals together. His knowledge, encouragement, and personalized approach have made a big difference. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring personal trainer.

Gil has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey. Within 6 months, he helped me achieve my ideal body for my wedding ceremony in Jan 2024.

Although I'm generally pretty active (I ran the SF half marathon in 2023 and have another one coming up this March in Livermore), always mixing cardio/strength exercises on my own and following classes on Peloton, I never paid much attention to my diet and just ate whatever I wanted. I decided to get serious for once to look good for my wedding ceremony.

The results speak for themselves - I received lots of compliments from everyone and even had to tailor my wedding dress smaller by an inch during my last fitting – a testament to the incredible progress I've made under his guidance.

In terms of weight loss, I am thrilled to share that I've shed about 6 pounds during our time together (124 to 118 lbs). While the weight loss wasn’t drastic, there is a clear difference in my appearance - much toner arms, back, and abdomen area.

Gil's holistic approach to fitness not only helped me reach my weight loss goals but also enhanced my overall well-being.

What sets Gil apart is not just the results, but his approach. The hour always flew by, filled with laughter, motivation, and a genuine sense of accomplishment. Gil is not just a trainer; he's a fantastic motivator, making each session not only effective but also fun.

His engaging personality and positive energy make every workout something to look forward to. Gil has a unique ability to keep you accountable and, more importantly, helps you realize your untapped potential. He pushed me to work harder than I ever thought I could, and the results are truly beyond what I had envisioned.

In conclusion, Gil has been instrumental in making my fitness journey enjoyable, effective, and ultimately successful. If you're looking for a personal trainer who goes above and beyond, Gil is the one. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking not just physical transformation but also a supportive and uplifting fitness experience.

Thanks to Gil, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and have completely changed how I approach my fitness and diet to a sustainable one. I look forward to continuing our partnership and accomplishing new goals together in 2024!

I have been training with Gil for over a year now. I feel stronger and healthier than ever. I still need to work on my diet but my stamina has significantly improved. He is one of the better trainer I have worked with. He is very knowledgeable and professional. When you get comfortable with some of weight training/exercises, Gil changes it so that you can push/challenges yourself and come out of the comfort zone. Every session is different and challenging. Time flies when working out with him and we chat about TV series..etc. Gil also share healthy eating recipes/habits via his email newsletter. Gil is very flexible with timing and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend him as a quality trainer.😀
