“Yusuke is the best personal trainer that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He has a very strong understanding of how the body works, and tailors every single exercise for your needs. I always felt comfortable working with him, and he was calm, well-spoken. He helped me navigate a lingering hip injury with poise, and was always attentive to strict form. If you’re thinking about trying a personal trainer, I can say with absolute confidence that you’ll get your money’s worth and more with Yusuke. If it means anything, with his motivation and skill I started to really enjoy how I felt in my body again.”
