"I've been working with Francisco for about 6 months. I am 14 months postpartum from my second child and wanted to return to feeling strong and confident in my body. Francisco has been wonderful. He is a very knowledgable trainer, who is also very thoughtful about the way he approaches each session..."

"I've been working with Francisco for more than four years, which speaks volumes about the value of his coaching and my satisfaction with his approach. He focuses on functional, full-body strength training and consistently introduces new exercises and routines to keep workouts engaging and effective..."

I'd never set foot in a gym or lifted weights, other than some 3 lb dumbbells for physical therapy. I'd never been into exercise for exercise's sake, but 2 kids and remote work had turned me into a middle aged potato, and I just didn't want to feel weak and out of shape anymore. I signed my husband and I up for duos sessions with Francisco less than 6 months ago and the change in my body, energy levels and mood have been incredible..."

"I started training with Francisco six months ago to tone up and take my fitness to the next level after having two kids. I was in decent shape but wanted to push myself further. The results have been incredibly --I feel stronger, more toned and now truly understand (and see!) the benefits of strength training..."

"I started training with Francisco a few months ago with the goal to get fit and healthy. The timing just so happened to also coincide with my upcoming wedding. Francisco is very knowledgable and also knows what types of exercises to do to target specific areas of the body. He knows the right balance of providing you with challenging exercises, but also reminding you to listen to your body. He is also great about making sure you are doing things in the correct form to prevent any sort of injury..."

"Francisco has been an AMAZING personal trainer!! I started working out with him months before my wedding, and I lost 21 lbs and 17.75" with his help. I'm the fittest I've ever been and my husband and I are continuing with Francisco as a lifestyle change because we've seen such great results. Francisco rocks and you won't find a more accommodating, dedicated and invested trainer in SF! He and his wife have become dear friends. Thank you!"

"When I started training with Francisco, my goals included jump starting my workout and meal routine and shedding the weight that had glommed on during the pandemic.... Francisco listened, was understanding, patient but firm with his training. As a former runner, I was bummed about being unable to run due to an injured knee and hip. Still, that was no excuse and Francisco challenged me to maintain a daily brisk walk and assigned a weekly home exercise routine. He reviewed my food log and gave valuable advice. He also worked with me to stretch and mend my injuries..."

"Like so many people during SIP, I was unable to escape the dreaded "quarantine 15". On top of the happy relationship pounds I'd gained since college, I decided enough was enough and went to see Francisco for a consultation in January since I wanted to get ready for a big family wedding. 4 months later, 14 pounds lighter, and almost 9 inches of total body fat lost, I've regained the strength and confidence in my body that I thought I'd lost and finally feel like my life is back on track.."

"Francisco is absolutely the BEST PERSONAL TRAINER! I signed up for Francisco in September of 2019, and in the year and a half since then, I've lost 18 pounds, 12" overall, and three pant sizes. I look forward to my training sessions. Francisco is friendly, funny, and always encouraging; he makes me feel strong and can motivate me even when I don't feel like working out. He knows how to push me to achieve my best but makes sure to spend plenty of time stretching to avoid injury. So grateful for Francisco and The Training Zone Studio!"

I started out with Francisco last August in preparation for my wedding. Little did I know he would help change my life! I had gained a lot of weight, slowly but surely, over the course of 2 years. I started out with him twice a week and keeping a daily food log. Within 2 or so months, I had lost 8 pounds and was so motivated to keep going..."

"...Here are some of the many reasons I think he's worth every penny: -meticulous about form -educates you about your body/muscles and how they relate to each other and the exercises you're doing -shows you how to properly recover and incorporates it throughout training -guides on health and nutrition while being realistic -takes videos of you to show you exercises you've done and in good form, of course -sends a report of all the exercises you did to be able to refer back to -flexible/accommodating on scheduling -is always improving his own skills and knowledge -positive and supportive attitude ALWAYS..."
