Empire Fitness & Self-Defense

Fernado is a great trainer. He is the real deal. He truly cares about the people he trains. I have attended Fernando’s boot camps and he is tough but encouraging. He follows up with the people in his class to make sure they are feeling ok physically and mentally. Not only is he a great trainer, but he is a part of the community. He is active in the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce and he supports local charities.

I attended a seminar yesterday at SRCAR in Murrieta. Fernando presented great advise on reading people. You can use his technics in everyday life scenarios. I recommend to attend the next seminar or better yet have him come to your business and instruct your staff. Thanks Fernando for the great advise.

Fernando really pushes his students hard. I have taken several classes with him and each time will walk away hurting and tired out. For someone that works in the IT industry, my activity level is very minimal at times and attending a fitness class really helps to get the blood flowing again. The price per class is a little steep but the personalized training experience is worth it.

I have worked with 4 trainers prior to Fernando in a bootcamp and/​or personal training scenario and Fernando is by far the most knowledgeable trainer out there. He knows proper form and makes sure you are doing the right work for your body and your goals. I started well over 200 lbs. with a goal of 150 lbs by January and he had no concerns about me not only reaching that goal but beating it and being perfectly fit when I got there. Throughout the 7 weeks he continues to have a real conversation about results, makes suggestions, offers advice about supplements to try (or not try), constantly reminds us to eat right and drink water or Gatorade as appropriate. Overall, incredible trainer and experience. Looking forward to the coming holiday season and a great level of fitness.
