LSL Fitness

You will not find a trainer or person who will support you more. Leo will get help you get through your bumps and bruises. He’ll adapt workouts to your level and if you have an injury he will get you through that too! Want to do a spartan race or tough mudder he’ll go with you! His classes and semi/​private training are a supportive and family environment you will never feel anything but motivated & supported! You won’t know how good you will feel until you try!

LSL fitness is run by lead trainer Leo and his assistant, Lina. I have never met a team so dedicated to their work. I have had other trainers in the past and just felt like they were going through a basic routine that wasn’t focusing on my personal goals I wanted to achieve. You will definitely not feel this with this team!
Not only do they provide knowledge and training in living a healthy lifestyle; they also provide support and encouragement to get you to your personal goals and achievements.
Their Group Strength Training classes are a lot of fun and are as challenging as each person can handle individually. There is also plenty of encouragement and support with the group of people that attend these classes which makes it a lot more fun and challenging.
I have personally done Semi-​private sessions with another partner for almost a year and we still get Leo’s full attention whether we are working in a group or not. Leo and Lina have provided meal plans as well to fit my personal goals and it has definitely helped me!
You can tell they love what they do because of the attention, love and support they show each individual client. Whether it’s a physical or a mental challenge that a client may have, they are definitely there with their full attention, friendship and guidance.
Any injury, goal and challenge with a client they are faced with, they can improve and change for the best!

Leo makes working out challenging and fun. He’s also very knowledgeable. I can ask him anything about the exercises and he’ll know the answer (I like to anticipate which muscles will be sore). HIs newsletter is full of useful info.
The group fitness sessions are a blast. We’re like a club. We encourage and support each other and commiserate about our sore muscles and how hard Leo makes us work.

I first started training with Leo at the end of March, 2011. At my first consultation with him, I had a BMI which placed me just barely in the obese category on the charts, weighing 174 pounds. I was sick of looking at myself in the mirror and determined to make a change!
I saw Leo once a month for three months because that was what I could afford on my measly student living budget, but he made himself available to me for any questions that I had and went far beyond what I paid for in his attentiveness.
One of the most important things about Leo’s training techniques, to me, is that he has never once prescribed me a workout that I was not 100% capable of. In the beginning I was prescribed work-​out regimens alternating days of one-​hour cardio or strength fitness drills 6 days a week. The only reason that I was able to pull this seemingly vigorous regimen off was because of the attentiveness that Leo had at each session, watching for signs of too much fatigue or too little challenge in my body. He found the perfect balance EVERY time that I saw him, which allowed me to be pushed just to my limit, but never over, leaving me ready for the next day, rather than sore and dreading movement as I have experienced before.
It is because of this attentiveness and contagious enthusiasm for physical activity and nutritional balance that within a month of seeing him, I had moved out of the obese range and just barely into the «average» range of the BMI charts. Leo’s reaction? He got a tear in his eye and announced that he was so proud he was going to have to tell his fiancé!
Even when I have been unable to see Leo on a one-​on-​one basis, he offers bootcamps where his enthusiasm for the physical health of others shines through. He has just the right balance. You push yourself to new levels in his drills, not wanting to to disappoint him because it would only mean that you’d be disappointing yourself due to the fact that he is so good at knowing and observing personal limits with each of his clients.
Today, a year and three months after my first consult with Leo, I sit comfortably within the «healthy» range on the BMI chart, with an estimated 22% body fat, weighing 132 pounds – 1 pound less than the goal weight that we set a year ago. I feel great and it is in large part due to Leo’s help in transforming my eating patterns and my daily fitness routines.

If you are looking for a trainer with real knowledge, attentiveness, and the overall love for fitness, then LSL Fitness is your last stop for personal training. Leo will plan your workout to your needs as well as what he sees your needs need to be. (something we neglect, looking from the outside in) It is not about just losing weight, or building muscle, it is a lifestyle that he incorporates into the workouts. Not only is your body being changed, but your state of mind. He helps you understand the what, whys, and hows of every routine. So you not only leave the session with the drills and workout routine to do on your own time, but you walk away with the knowledge behind it. He makes sure your form on all drills are 100% correct and will work within your physical strengths and weaknesses. Even with injuries, he will change the workout to meet your needs. Something i have been dealing with the last 3 months. He also has helped with my workouts that i do on my own time. Again, planning and making sure i hit the points he feels i need to work on at the gym on my own time. I now have confidence and knowledge to hit the gym on my own and KNOW i got the best workout i physically and can. ALL ON MY OWN. Even to the point where i am at the gym and people have asked me if i am a personal trainer. Trust me, you get asked that question, it will make your day.
I can’t speak for everyone, but i do speak for me… at my age of 37, i feel i am in the best shape of my life, mentally and physically. With his training, i realize that not only could I have not achieved it without him, but i couldn’t of done it without ME, something he helps you understand throughout every routine. He is the trainer, but it is YOU that do the work and gain from the results. I kid you not, Leo’s love for fitness is contagious. The minute i was done with my first session, i was hooked. Every time i look in the mirror, i am hooked. The only down fall, you will have to purchase new clothes or invest in a tailor. That i kid you not!!!
One last thing. If you currently have a trainer, or currently looking for one, do yourself a favor… When at the gym and working either on your own or with a trainer, look around. Does your trainer ever leave you, does the trainer you are watching talking to other people or steps away from the trainee? Not at LSL Fitness. You get 100% of Leo’s time with the sessions. No interruptions no other members, and organized to the last minute. Just you, the gym, and Leo.
