Introduction: As a physician, I witnessed the long-term effects of physicial inactivity on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of my patients. I saw countless cases of diseases that could either be prevented or treated with physical exercise. In many cases, people had a general awareness of the benefits of exercise, but were fuzzy on the details. A vast number of illnesses -- including diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, chronic back pain, depression, and anxiety -- can be managed solely with exercise combined with a healthy diet. That's right. No pills, no insulin injections, and no trips to the therapist. It's surprisingly simple. Why, then, is it so difficult for people? My opinion is that it is a matter of attitude. Most people see exercise as a chore rather than a celebration. Instead of it being a chance to feel free and elated, exercise is something that people dread. I can tell you with absolute honesty that there has been almost nothing more beneficial to my happiness and well-being than physical activity. It gives me a sense of joy and aliveness that I hope to bring to each and every client I work with. Sure, you'll look great, but that's secondary. It's how different you will feel that is of primary importance. My approach is to make exercise fun. I use a combination of resistance training, plyometrics, and core work that engages your whole body during the workout. By using constantly varying workout routines, your body will be rapidly transformed. Whatever your particular goals are, I am there for you every step of the way as a guide and as a motivator!

I am tickled to death to have V. as my personal trainer. Although sometimes I complain that he is "trying to kill me," I couldn't be more satisfied at the progress we are making. I am 64 years of age and have osteo-arthritic knees. Although not morbidly obese, I can stand to lose 10 - 15 lbs. Also, I'd had spent years working on getting out of shape and could not, for the life of me, get myself into the gym to do something about it. That is, until I discovered V back in April. When we started three months ago, I couldn't even stand up from a sitting position because of my knee affliction, and I couldn't take a single step on a riser without excruciating knee pain. V has been very careful to tailor my workouts to my specific need and we have done knee concentrations, and have also worked on other body parts. I told him I want Michelle Obama arms at the end of all this and so we've been working on arms as well. Currently, I can do 20 repetitions of standing from a seated position and I can to 20 step-ups, even while holding weights. Although this doesn't seem like much for someone with healthy knees; for me, it's a miracle, and I owe it all to V! I appreciate his punctuality, and the fact that he respects my time enough not to allow my appointed time to be impacted by another client, who might show up late. This did occur one time, but I believe V learned from that experience and it has never occurred again, Long story short, I highly recommend him. V ROCKS!!

V is probably one of the best trainers you can get in Atlanta, especially for the price. You can schedule workouts from 30 minutes to an hour (depending on your skill level, not how much you want to do in one day), and V will meet with you once or multiple times a week. I'm 25 years old and have a generally good BMI, but I recently moved back to Atlanta and needed someone to help me get back into shape, stay cognizant of my fitness, and set new goals for myself. In the ten weeks (once a week workouts) I've worked with V, I've gained more endurance and seen increases in strength. V will push you from the beginning, but the workouts are varied and V will never make you do anything you absolutely can't do. When you're having trouble, he will recommend ways to make the exercise more doable, and always encourages you to keep going. His workouts are usually based in quick circuits, and will always work out a few different muscle groups. Also, V is a very knowledgeable trainer and can tell you anything you want to know about working out on your own, eating right, and generally staying healthy. I would highly recommend V to anyone else, for his skill-set, for the price of the sessions, and for the efficiency in half-an-hour. I'm moving up to twice a week sessions and will be with V for the foreseeable future.

I have had at least 20 or so 1 hour sessions with V as of today. I have worked out for many years but took a break due to a medical issue. As a trainer, he is great. Very motivating and doesn't let you get by without doing the best you can. Being that he is a physician, that knowledge adds another layer to his ability to modify what we do to fit my needs. I go to him at least 20 times a month and the results are awesome. I am very happy with the changes in my body. The things I am able to accomplish working out, do more to help my mental state than my physical. It is a great 2 part process. Be ready to work out the entire time you are there. He allows very little time for chit chat, which does allow for better results. V expects a lot from me as I am sure he does his other clients. But then that is why I want a trainer.
