Introduction: What most trainers don't realize or understand is training is more, much more, than just a workout. It's being a coach, friend, nutritionist, therapist, teacher, mentor, student and enforcer all in one. The most important aspect is knowing which hat to wear and how best to implement your knowledge for that individual. Energizing, engaging, and helping people transform themselves. I've watched people completely transform their lives starting with the simple decision to pick up one 10 pound dumbbell.

As a type 1 diabetic, I rely on consistent exercise, along with other lifestyle modifications, to supplement the insulin I use as a treatment, in order to lower my hemoglobin A1c (a measure of how my blood sugar has been controlled). The problem, for me, has always been motivation - I'm a procrastinator, and too often, I would make excuses why i couldn't go to the gym. Felix is a fantastic motivator - he kept me going to the gym 3+ times/week, which has made a huge difference in my diabetes control. In the year working out with Felix, I had the BEST hemoglobin A1c test I've had in over 5 or 6 years! Felix is consistently reliable, as well; I can think of maybe one instance over the course of a whole year when couldn't make it into the gym (due to a snowstorm) and had to cancel. Felix was also very flexible. Last summer, after injuring my shoulder, Felix made adjustments to my workout routine that allowed me to get back into the gym quicker than I would've expected with just physical therapy. Felix is a fantastic, intelligent, and flexible trainer, and comes highly recommended.

I have always been an avid gym-goer, and when I started working with Felix my workouts amped up. When I first started working with him he asked me what my goals were, and "I have no goals," so he just put me on some workout regiments. Over the first few months there was an overall shift in my energy and physique (like losing 20+ lbs in 2 months), so I decided to stick with it. Felix was great in that he was always encouraging and available. He also pushed me to push myself. I would not say that he was motivational, but more so helped me to create habits of success. Motivation is there one day and gone the next, but habits are hard to break. One thing that I would say Felix could do more is mention his blog. It has some inspiration and motivation there!!

Felix is seriously the best. I did sports in high school and college, but not a ton since then, just a little weightlifting here and there. Then I finished medical school and residency and wanted to get back in shape. From day one Felix designed a program and guided me through it, making sure my form was good and tweaking things along the way to make sure I was getting the most out of it. He's a smart trainer too, knowledgable about the science of fitness and nutrition and doesn't buy into fads. The progress I've made with Felix over the past two years has been unbelievable, everyone around me has noticed. I look forward to going to the gym (never thought I would say that). I can't recommend Felix highly enough!

Felix is a fantastic trainer. He's attentive and approachable regarding all kinds of health, nutrition and exercise questions. He's also been great with alterations for my injuries. Can't recommend him enough!

Felix was my personal trainer for over a year and I could not be more pleased with the results that he helped me achieve. Felix never missed a training session and was always very supportive and encouraging throughout. I would recommend Felix to anyone either starting a new training program or more experienced. He can do it all.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There's nothing too complicated about my pricing structure. The only thing different I do is semi-private training rather than one-on-one. It allows me to influence more people, it helps keep people motivated and working hard, and it saves a ton of money for clients.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of them. Perform Better summits, Precision Nutrition certifications, if you don't keep up, you're behind.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been involved in fitness; sports, the military, as a hobby, it's always been in my life. I realized it was my calling when I discovered my accounting career was slowly sucking the life out of me.
