"TK helped get me into the best shape of my life. I put on 15 lbs of muscle through his excellent weight training and diet program, and all in 9 weeks. He pushed me harder than any trainer I've worked with before and never let me quit. He also would call me on our off days to see how my eating habits were and if I was staying on the right track nutritionally. He is knowledgeable and knows how to adjust the program if you are feeling stress or pain in any part of your body. Safety always comes first with TK. I couldn't be happier with my results. TK's professionalism and training experience are the best you can find. I have even recommended him to some of my friends."

"I went to TK because I woke up and realized one day I gained over 40 lbs. I could not get myself up from a sitting position on the ground and I was always out of breath when I walked around the block. So I decided to hit the gym and change my junk food diet. I met TK and he showed me he was dedicated to help me lose those extra pounds. He pushed me to my fullest potential and knew my over limits. He always gives me a pat on the back after every workout and tells me how proud he is of me after I reach my goal weight for the week. I like that each session is mixed up of doing different exercises, so that each time I see him, it isn't the same mundane workout.
Today, my goal is not only to look healthy, but have a healthy lifestyle. I eat better meals and haven't touched junk food in years. I don't even crave it. I've lost 30 pounds so far and I have TK to thank."

"While in college I was able to survive 3 years without gaining the dreaded Freshman 15… Then along came my senior year and I gained the Senior 25!! I thought that I was going to be one of the lucky ones and evade it but I ended up gaining it plus some. Once I graduated and moved back home I tried everything to shed the weight but nothing was working. Luckily my sister told me that she had just signed up for training sessions with TK and invited me to join her. Let me just say that TK was my gift from the gods to help me lose that weight! Within 5 months of training TK helped me shed the 25lbs and get into the best shape of my life. Thanks to him I became an avid runner, which I never thought could happen in my wildest dreams. Before TK entered my life running a mile was like hell on earth for me but now I can pump 3 miles like it is nobody’s business! Training with him was always so much fun and quickly became my favorite part of the day. I not only lost the weight but also gained a brother from another mother. TK is the BEST trainer that you can find in Los Angeles and I definitely guarantee that!"

"Working out with TK has changed my overall energy throughout the day and provided me with the tools and assistance to lose 15lbs. His workouts are well structured, disciplined and fun! TK also helped me figure out a way in which to eat and change my overall eating habits to a point that I no longer have food cravings. We evaluated my goals and tracked the results on a constant basis to help change the workout routines in order to reach my goals faster. TK is always available to help answer questions via Email, Text or Phone and couldn’t be more happy with the overall progress thus far"

"I've worked out for well over 20 years, but never used a Personal Trainer. I hired TK hoping to learn new exercises and create workouts that were sports-specific to advance my softball skills. TK exceeded my expectations. I appreciated his professionalism, knowledge and high intensity workouts. I highly recommend TK regardless of your fitness goals."

"When I started training with TK, he helped me to change my eating habits. I eat so much more healthy now and as a result have better muscle definition to show for it. The weight training helped me develop more energy, strength and great definition. I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family on how much definition I got just from working out with TK. TK absolutely cuts you no slack, but you feel great as a result. So, it’s about feeling more powerful as well as being stronger. He’s the man. "

"I have worked with TK for three months now and have been beyond satisfied with the results. After trying so many other ways to get in shape, it has been tremendously rewarding to find a program that is truly working. Day 1 he laid out a clear path for me to achieve my goals and with his support, I have been able to reach each and every milestone as laid out in my plan. TK’s approach to fitness has not only helped me lose weight and gain muscle, but it has truly transformed my overall outlook on diet and health."

"My name is Ken Congemi and I coach competitive figure skating for a living. I train National, World and Olympic level athletes. As a coach, I know how important it is for me to motivate my students and I feel that the ability to motivate is one of the qualities I admire most about TK. There are many times I don’t feel like training but TK KEEPS ME GOING!! (the little text reminders the night before a training session are very effective TK, lol!). It’s easy to “be too busy” and come up with reasons not to workout but I haven’t done that in the 2 years that I’ve been training with TK. I’m very proud of this and proud of my body. Thanks TK for all that you do for me and for helping me to look good all the time!"

"Is your excuse for not losing weight related to a thyroid problem? I've had a thyroid problem since 2000 and after taking the radioactive iodine twice and losing a bunch of weight, I later gained all that weight back and more. I was tipping the scales at 260 lbs. I tried Weight Watchers and Curves and lost some, but I still needed help. I was actively seeing an Endocrinologist who made sure my thyroid levels were in the normal range. Meeting with TK in September 2008, he taught me and my husband to make healthier food choices by staying within a certain amount of calories. He also taught us a simple workout routine that we were able to do on our own. During the course of a year, while regularly communicating over the phone and email with TK, I was able to drop below 200 lbs. I really believe that after following his advice and guidance, I was able to get pregnant in August 2009 (been trying for 4 years). I am forever grateful to you, TK!"
