Frankie Mecono Personal Training

to the point:
I am so happy I found this place!!! My trainer Casey is awesome and focuses on form, doing the workouts properly and on the challenges I told him about, he has met and exceeded what I expected. Plus the facility is nice and all the other trainers are friendly .
Longer version:
I decided that I needed a personal trainer to get the results I wanted. I went to another place in town that kicked my butt but didn’t focus on form, I’m not knowledgeable in exercise and wasn’t sure if what I expected even existed but I didn’t feel like I was getting what I wanted. I contacted the gym and told them what I was looking for and Frankie set me up with Casey. My first day he asked lots of questions, had me fill out a form and did some kind of exercise test (it wasn’t hard, in case you were wondering). During the Q & A I said I had a knee that sometimes hurt when I worked out to hard and that I have a tight shoulder from work and when I lift weights it hurt sometimes, so I usually quit till they feel better. Now a few weeks later my knee feels stronger as does the rest of my body. They focus on getting your body and muscles to work together as they are supposed to while you work out and in daily life and I am loving how I feel (plus other people have said I was looking good and asked what I was doing).Every workout Casey pays attention and corrects my form which I really appreciate.
The facility is open and airy and the other trainers are friendly as well and make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this place and am thankful to have found it.

After giving birth to twins, I had started to wonder if I’d ever get my pre-​babies fitness (and, to be honest, body) back. Before I had my kids, I was a yoga teacher and taught 7 – 10 classes a week, so hoping for that body back felt like an unattainable goal. To make matters worse, I had a chronic back issue that flared up from time to time, and nobody had been able to figure out what was causing it. Then I started training with Frankie. I have never felt stronger or leaner. His workouts are very challenging, but it isn’t until the workout is over that I realize how hard I worked out. Because he keeps the workouts varied and interesting, I’m never bored, and always improving. In addition, whenever I’ve experienced even the slightest pain in my body, he immediately addresses it and I always leave my workouts feeling better than when I go there. In over 20 years of yoga practice, I have not had the attention to detail that I get from Frankie’s workouts. It is well worth every penny. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thanks to Frankie I am in the best shape of my life — at age 55. He has the perfect combination of challenge and compassion with each client. His work out regimes are creative and constantly changing. I am never bored in his classes! He is a stickler for proper technique and knows body mechanics and muscles well. There is no better time than NOW to begin!

I started with FMPT about a year ago as a cyclist looking to gain core strength. Frankie’s approach to kettle-​bell training is one of quality over quantity. He and Casey have a vast knowledge of body mechanics, muscle function, and are capable of determining the individual abilities of their clients. Their pleasant and positive attitude is a great asset to their willingness to work with clients at their own levels. They instill confidence and encouragement to make you want to work further, and apply yourself more diligently. As a result, I was able to set personal records in my races this summer!

Training with Frankie has been a highlight of my year. He is absolutely the best at seeing the need of his client and tailoring a fitness program that meets his or her needs and goals. Whether you are training privately or in a group, you always know that you are in good hands. His expertise, even demeanor and attention to every detail of your program insure a fantastic workout experience. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the best personal trainer in Santa Barbara!

I have been training with Frankie for over 8 years. My wife and I were actually his first clients. We have benefited from the strength training over and over. The discipline of kettle bells and the overall fitness we have gained has been incredible. We are both in our 50’s and are constantly getting teased about how fit we are .) Well thanks to Frankie and how he has carefully watched and trained us we are grateful.
I ride in endurance Mountain bike races in the summer and the in-​gym training helps my base fitness along with riding on the road. Frankie understands the body very well and how each person is different in how they will and can train.
We can’t say enough about how we enjoy going to work out and Frankie makes it was it is.

I enjoy working out with the FMPT classes so much! I’ve never had a workout regimen that I look forward to, and I really do with these guys. Frankie and Casey are incredible trainers — I have learned so much since I started working with them.
Many times, they have shown me a complete movement that I will be working toward doing (i.e. Turkish Get Ups) and I think, «Oh, there’s no way I’ll be able to do that!» But going through their carefully planned program, I have continually surprised myself as I have built strength and learned the correct movements. Based on this, I have so much confidence in the FMPT methodology.
I highly recommend training with FMPT!
