Live healthier and longer.
I've been in the health and fitness industry for more than 10 years. My degree is in Human Biodynamics from the Univ. of California, Berkeley and my main certification is through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
I've worked in various settings, including Physiotherapy Associates, The Sports Club/LA, Gold's Gym, and the YMCA. My main specialty is working with post-rehab or post-injury clients, and those with chronic medical conditions, though I can definitely help you if your fitness goal is weight loss, muscle-building (hypertrophy), or sport-specific.
I currently do one-on-one fitness training with clients at DIAKADI Wellness Center or clients' homes in San Francisco, CA, though you may contact me also for customized online fitness programs and services.
What is my philosophy?
I value customer service and guarantee your satisfaction. Health and fitness programs created for you are comprehensive and detail oriented. Safety is my number one priority, and I will effectively coach you to succeed in your endeavors. Since I come from a research-oriented background, I'll do my best to completely explain what it takes to accomplish your goal. I will also only recommend products that are deemed safe and effective for you.

Working out with Stan during the last 3 years has been a remarkable experience. During this time, my level of enthusiasm has fluctuated and Stan was able to adapt to my physical needs and motivation. Since safety is a primary focus, I felt that I improved my technique and confidence using a wide range of exercises. My strength has increased more than it ever had before. He welcomed my input and we were able to customize a good program. His gentle style is especially good with anyone beginning to do weight training for the first time or someone recovering from an illness or injury regardless of age. (client 2006-2009)

A. Experience & rapport are key in hiring a fitness trainer. I'd make sure that the professional has a national certification like NSCA, ACSM, NASM, etc. Ultimately, someone who has been in the business for at least 5-10 years is a good fit!
A. Most trainers start off in a "membership-based" gym setting to gain valuable experience, and some continue on to more specialized "client-based" gyms (and other venues). The biggest difference, in my opinion is that the latter type of trainer has enough experience to really focus on your unique goals.
A. - What is your certification?
- How long have you been in the health & fitness industry?
- What types of clients have you worked with?
- Do you have any specialties?
A. Since the health & fitness field is very dynamic, it's always important to stay on top of current research. Also, loving what you do makes it easier to take continuing education classes!
