I have been working with Alex for a month now and I am enjoying every second of it. He is prompt, professional, and fun to work with. After a few weeks, I increased my workout frequency to three times a week because I was enjoying it so much. Results are quick and I can’t wait to continue making progress over the next several months. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

Alex is the best!! I have been working with Alex for a few months now and have seen more results than I have in years of training on my own. In our first session, Alex worked with me to set attainable goals and developed a training plan to help me meet those. He is also very responsive to feedback! If you have physical or training goals in mind or don’t even know where to start, I highly recommend Cardenas Complete Training.

Amazing training. The transformation I have made during the 4 months I've been training is extreme. I am in the military and even from my TDY locations without a gym we have still had very successful trainings working with what is available. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
