Albert has been working with my 15year old son for a month and I couldn’t recommend him more. He’s focused and articulate and knows what he’s doing and has motivated my son to work outside of the sessions. His professionalism and positive attitude is a true plus for a trainer, especially when working with someone younger. He’s always on time and is very responsive to communication. I’m looking forward to see how my son progresses in the next year with him and know I’ve made a good choice.

Albert and I met swimming for UC Santa Barbara. In 2021 (a few years after graduating), Albert and I started working together. We started with resistance bands and body weight exercises, but as the year progressed running became the focus. In May I decided to sign up for the San Francisco marathon. As a life long swimmer, my joints, running muscles, and running technique required special attention. We created a thorough warm-up/warm-down routine that helped with all that and even mitigated some injuries along the way. Running a marathon was something I never considered possible prior to my improvements with Albert, and in large part to him I have that finishers medal.

I've been seeing Albert consistently for a year and a half now. The programs he comes up with are excellent and cater to my body type and the goals I'm trying to accomplish. The programs are updated at a good pace and I feel I'm constantly learning something new while also challenging my body. I also feel stronger and healthier - it's a great complement to my personal workouts. I wanted to train with someone who pushes me, Albert does just that and keeps me on track... though sometimes I think to myself "careful what you wish for."
