Elite Physiques

I’ve been training with Daniel Tanori for 8 years now, and he really is as good as it gets! Even though I moved up to RWC, I continue to drive down to Mountain View to work out with him. With Daniel, I’ve been able to do things that I could never do before… like pull ups! Before him, I would just hang on the bar. Now, I’m able to do multiple sets! :)
Daniel keeps our workouts interesting and challenging and caters to your individual needs. I am currently interested in more cardio workouts and toning my upper body, so we’ve started boxing. But no matter what type of session you have, he always finds ways to engage your core. He is the BEST at strengthening that pesky midsection!
Last but not least, Daniel just exudes this wonderful, positive energy, making our sessions so much fun. I always look forward to my workouts with him, even after all these years. I highly recommend Daniel and Elite Physiques!

Three months ago, I realized that I had to start a regular work out routine and was looking for personal training and came across elite physiques and Daniel. I called him and left a message and he promptly called back and we scheduled a free introductory session.
The introductory session itself was so encouraging that I decided to get on board for regular sessions and have been actually looking forward to my training sessions. That is new for me. Daniel is a thinking man’s (person’s) trainer and understands your needs and goals.
I train with him twice a week with the main goal being weight loss. Over the past few weeks I have definitely increased my strength and gained some muscle and increased my cardio stamina.
Daniel tailors the sessions to my needs and has helped me make progress at the pace I like and feel comfortable.
He is very knowledgeable in human kinetics as applied to sport and exercise and that in my opinion is a very important qualification of a trainer. Daniel excels at that.
We do boxing almost on all days I train and have really started appreciating it as a sport thanks to Daniel. In everything that he has helped me with, he has stressed on the technique and thanks to that I have learned the proper technique in various routines so that they are effective and not conducive to causing injury.
Also, the facility is exactly what I was looking for. It is a well equipped gym which is not crowded and is perfect for personal training.
I highly recommend Daniel Tanori and Elite Physiques.

I don’t even know where to start… except to say that Daniel is an incredible, encouraging, trainer. I first saw him with a friend of mine in 2006 who had been going to him for awhile and we did boxing/​circuit-​training with him once a week. It was INCREDIBLE. I felt muscles I never even knew I had. And it was FUN! I can’t normally honestly say that about working out, but it really was!
This past year I went to Daniel freaking out about a half marathon I had signed up for but had done no training for. He put together a program for me that would work to help me train for the event, within my lifestyle (working mom). I cannot believe I successfully finished a half marathon. I can’t thank him enough!
Daniel is not an in your face, yelling at you type person, which I appreciate. If my trainer was like that, I would probably not return. He is motivating and pushes you, but there’s no negativity involved. «It’s hard but it’s fair,» he says. Another issue for me is being sensitive about my weight, and feeling self conscious around trainers. Daniel only makes me feel positive about myself and is extremely respectful. And I’ve lost almost 40 lbs so far!
I’ve never been bored at a session with him. He always mixes things up, plays great upbeat music. I don’t usually leave a session with any dry spot on my body because it’s such a good workout!
I would highly recommend Daniel to people at any level/​ability. He practices what he preaches– is extremely fit and can tailor the workout to your abilities. I plan to continue seeing him when I can for a long time!

I’ve only been working out with Daniel for 6 months, when I moved back to the area from out of state. I’m an avid weight lifter, but I like working with a trainer who can not only appease my «powerlifting» rush, but to push me in overall fitness. Not only has Daniel met both of my requirements, but he throws in new exercises that will challenge me both physically and mentally. I love a good challenge!
I believe there is no limit to what one can achieve. Even though, at times, I may seem that I’m exhausted, muttering random words and I give Daniel my «are you serious?» look, I love every moment that I’m working with him.
I’m glad that Daniel and I clique so well. He’s very professional and knowledgeable in his field. I like that he keeps things fresh and exciting. At times, I walk into our sessions thinking that I know what we’re doing, but he always seems to put in that extra twist that leaves me «floored.» But, I always come back for more. Love it! :)

When I am looking for a trainer I expect the person to be knowledgeable, professional, and the ability to push me to the next physical level. With Daniel Tanori that criteria is not only met, it is exceeded. When training with him I have that extra hand to get me to my goals. As a trainer he pushes my physical abilities in a proper way and has patience to me feel I can do that extra rep or crunch or even that extra minute of cardio. At the training facility the place is clean and a friendly environment. It is a perfect space for a training studio, the equipment and set up in a very logical manner. You have you open space on one side for floor training, core training and even tire/​hammer training. On the other end is a range of cardio equipment to start a warm up and enough free weights for resistence training.
I highly recommend Daniel Tanori and Elite Physiques.
