Al Coronel Personal Trainer

I started working with Al in January 2011. My intentions were to shred fat and build lean muscle. Within 3 months not only did I accomplish all that, but Al helped me change my entire way of thinking, permanently. I have continued eating right and working out consistently since that first day of working with Al, and I am in better shape than I was in high school and college. It really made a positive impact on everything I do in life. Highly, highly recommended.

I have been working out with Al for almost 2 years now. At first, I thought I was going to just do maybe 6 months. But the results are great and he’s worked my body without any real specific direction from me — into better shape than it has ever been in. I’ve lost and kept off over 50 lbs! And it’s the kept off part that is the best. There are visible muscles and tone where there never was. Took a 4 month break due to some medical stuff and while returning has been difficult. Al keeps it fresh and focused. There is always an exercise or an entire workout that I would never had thought of. He’s professional, on time, detailed. I have recommended him to friends and have heard and seen positive things from them.
A trainer seems expensive at first — but unlike a gym membership that I would use sporadically — I go to my trainer appointments. If I got these results from having a local gym membership — I’d be writing a review of them.

Ok here’s the deal.
1. You are flabby and don’t want to be
2. You want to have some fun while you sweat and burn
3. Al is the man
I have been working with Al on and off for years. When I want to focus on a particular area, he knows just how to do that. When I just want to slim and tone, he knows how to do that as well.
There is no magic in what Al does — there is skill, knowledge of human anatomy (I have fibromyalgia and he totally understands what I can and cannot do), and above all he has a heart of gold and a passion to help people feel their best.
One of my favorite things about working with Al is he is his own student — always working on perfecting his body… so you know he puts in his own time feeling the pain.
I love Al. He is a great trainer, a trusted friend, and a sweetheart of a person.
Go see him. You won’t regret it.

Al is by far the best trainer I’ve ever had. I signed with him a few years ago and within one month I saw a full body transformation! I had to leave Los Angeles but still stand by the fact I miss Al (and certain food places ha) more than anything.
I was an athlete when younger but as I grew up I became shy. He made me feel so comfortable. He knows everything from nutrition to training. He even diagnosed my asthma before my doctor did, which helped my training. Al is always quick to answer text messages and spend the quality time needed to understand your entire program.
Al is a great guy period. And definitely the best trainer, ever.

Al is by FAR the best trainer that I have ever worked with. I have been training with him for over 2 years now and truly cares about me reaching the goals that I have set out to accomplish. We have completed Marathons together, worked out an insane hours to accomodate my schedule, and pushed me to my limits to achieve a level of fitness I have never had in my life.

Al is a fantastic trainer. He helped me stay lean and strong all throughout my pregnancy. We trained several times a week and even when I was grouchy prego lady he kept me going with his boundless energy and eternally positive disposition. He really knows about which exercises are best for pregnancy and I am sure that my workouts significantly contributed to my stamina and strength during labor.

I first trained with Al in 2006 at 24Hour Fitness in Glendale, then followed him to Basic Training. He is an excellent trainer. We train weekly. Workouts and routines are varied — the sessions are always challenging. He has tailored routines for me not only for my overall fitness and conditioning goals, but also as I recovered from an extended hospitalization in 2008 and more recently from a hip flexor injury. At age 51, I could not be happier with my overall physique. Al is very personable and very reliable. You won’t be disappointed.

If there were six stars, he’d get them. Al knows how to individualize a workout not only according to what your physical needs are, but also your workout style. He’ll push you when you need pushing and has a sixth sense about what’s right for you at that moment. I especially appreciate the fact that he does not have an ego about it, like so many trainers do. He works with you every step of the way and is flexible enough to help you handle and make changes. You will not be bored with your workout with this guy — he’s ALWAYS mixing things up. He’s also a hella decent person — a huge plus!

I met Al through a friend who had been training with him for about a year. She really liked him and I was ready to take the «personal trainer plunge» and get ready for a big trip to Maui :) I started training with him in October but got really serious in January — started eating better, working out more, drinking less, ect. — So far I have lost 7lbs. That may not sound like much but I was 137 to start and I am down to 129 – 130 and I feel like that is a lot for me! My friends and family notice the difference, they say I look leaner and toned. My clothes fit better and I am wearing clothes I wasn’t sure I would ever fit into again. Al is very patient and will push you only as much as you want him too. He is very diet conscious and is an encyclopedia of knowledge for what to eat, when, what works, what doesn’t. Al can cater to your environmental needs, as in you can workout in a park or at the gym and either place you are going to get a challenging total body workout. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to get in shape but doesn’t want to feel like they are at a «boot camp» class. He makes you work hard but at the end you feel stronger and more energetic not tired and fatigued…
