My favorite client story
Too many!!! And I refuse to exploit my clients. Let's just say that I've been featured in Shape Magazine for a client's 100 lb. loss success story, featured on KTLA and ABC News for my expertise, and that I've worked with one of the most successful baseball players in American History and one of the biggest TV Producers in World History. One of my clients of 14 years belonged to a forever-famous boy-band. And that's just to name a few. Woking in Hollywood was fun. I now work in Marin County. My clientele ranges from training young athletes, Triathletes, Pregnant woman, normal folks, and elderly clients with special needs.
