Introduction: I've been a personal trainer with over 10 years experience. In my years of training I've worked with all types of people from beginner to experienced from all different walks of life. Personal Training for me is not a job but a passion. To see clients overcome challenges and see them become stronger, have the ability to do things they never thought they could do and have the endurance they only thought they had as a younger adult is very rewarding to me. I plan out workouts according to my clients unique fitness goals, keep track of weights and always push in a safe manner that won't injure my clients. Communication with my clients is always my top priority! Get to know me and see how I can help you reach your health and fitness goals. I always offer a free fitness consultation and training session with no obligation to buy anything. I come to your condo or home gym and serve the area of Downtown Chicago and near north side along the lakefront accessible to the red or brown lines. I train all fitness levels and am LGBTQ friendly. Find out why my clients have trained with me in an average of 2 or 3+ years! Inquire for more information to get started on your journey to a more fit you! SAL

Simple: Sal is the best trainer I have ever had (and I have had a lot over the years)!! My husband, daughter and I have been working with Sal for over a year! We train individually, and my husband and I together. Sal has the ability to train each of us at our individual levels along with total respect for our strengths and weaknesses! Yes, he'll push you but can immediately provide alternatives when needed. It is a pleasure training with him our building. He has never, ever been late and completely respects my goofy schedule requests!! Ohhh the patience! Another plus is he always responds to my texts and calls; unlike the rest of the world that makes you wait and wait. Even if he can't provide me with an immediate answer, he lets me know and gets back to me! He runs a class A business and I would love if anyone shopping for a trainer would give him a try!! (Plus, he gives out a great deal if you buy a package of 10)!

I've been a client of Sal for the past couple of years. Because I've lived in the city for about 14 years now, I have a number of other trainers to compare him to. He's simply the best. Sal is extremely knowledgeable about training and nutrition and keeps up with everything including new trends. I can be in a certain mood that day (good, bad, tired, energetic), text him, and he will create a plan around that for that session. He trains me in my apartment gym, and, because of that, a lot of other people in the building are also working out with their trainers. Whatever Sal has me working on and our interaction is always better than whatever else I see going on. I may be partial but it's all factual. The best part is, he is a great person. He is missing the gene it takes to "oversell" so what you are left with is sincerity. If you want him to be a little softer, like I need because I have a sensitive personality, he will be. But I know some people like more of a drill instructor and he can be tough if that is what you respond to. His prices are reasonable...again, he doesn't do the guilt trip thing by trying to lock you in to an overly inflated price. He's doing what he loves, he's great at it, and I'm fortunate to have found him.

I have worked out with trainers my whole life, but no one helped me get results until Sal came along. Not only is he an extremely competent personal trainer, he is very kind and listens to what your needs are. The factor of convenience and working with my schedule also made him an obvious choice. After every workout, I am sore and reaping the results. Just ask him what you want to work out that day or week and he will make a personal workout catered to your needs. Every day is different which makes the whole experience even better because you get to do different workouts and see results on your whole body, and it never gets boring.
