Dakota is extremely knowledgeable about the structure of the body and how everything works together. She has pushed me in an encouraging way to lift more weight and try new things. Additionally, I was having issues controlling my asthma and she made sure to tailor my sessions with her to accommodate that, while at the same time slowly increasing cardio in a safe way for me. I haven’t had any issues with my asthma since training with her and have much less anxiety about having an asthma attack.

I have been working with Dakota for about 3 weeks now. She is amazing. I feel confident working with her and can actually feel a change in my muscle use. She is extremely knowledgeable. Hiring her has been the best decision! I can’t wait to see my results!

Dakota is highly skilled and very effective at what she does. I had been out of lifting for 15 years and had very little strengths and many pains. Dakota has diligently worked around them. She knows so many targeted exercises that works exactly where you want it. Above all she is kind and understanding. She asks for your max effort and she always gives her best. She is super encouraging and laughs easy. I could not have found a better person to bring me back into weightlifting. If you’re looking for some who will set the bar high and help you reach it, Dakota is your trainer.

I have been blessed in my life to have some excellent personal trainers, highly educated in their field, skilled in body dynamics, knowledgeable and successful. None has ever compared to Dakota Ushigome! Dakota brings training professionalism to new heights with her knowledge and skill and her unequivocal and profound ability to ‘get you’, to know exactly where you are, what you need and exactly how to get you there....at all times holding a vision for your greatness, even when you lose temporary sight of the prize. Having Dakota’s razor sharp focus, unwavering dedication to success, positive attitude, passion, vision and skill has contributed so greatly to the quality of my life and vision for my future. When I started working with Dakota, I had some physical impairments to overcome-a sports injury, some limitations to my range of motion and an imbalance that affected everyday motion (repeated falling). Dakota created and implemented a treatment plan that not only alleviated my pain and increased my strength and flexibility but provided a way of working out that will keep me healthy and fit for life. Most of all I love working out with Dakota! I love the time we spend together, I love how I feel around her, I love how she pushes me past my limitations and fears, I love her stand for my greatness, I love the results I get in mind, body and spirit.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
One on One sessions are 50 - 75 minutes. Includes a monthly program with workout cards starting at both small and large packages covering you for a month up to 6 months or more! Partner and group training available. Meal plans and check ins priced on a monthly basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A consultation either in person or via phone kicks off the process. It’s important to understand my clients goals, assess a program, talk about nutrition and instruct and coach them on how to blast through their goals. Each person is uniquely different and should be treated as such. The new client interview helps both parties see if there’s a match. Every trainer has a different approach so it’s important to be able to have a dialogue around that and also see if there’s a personality match as well!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been training and coaching for over 20 years with a huge track record of success in helping people lose over 100lbs...working with physique competitors...athletes...and new gym goers.
