Personal training review October 2023

Yuji Nishijima

I stopped by twice during my one week stay in Vancouver. You can get there in 30 minutes by bus from downtown. My trainer, Yusuke, doesn’t just do exercises to build strength, he listens to my problems and suggests exercises to solve them. Reservations can be made via email and are recommended during breaks from sightseeing or business trips.

1週間のバンクーバー滞在で2度寄らせてもらいました。ダウンタウンからバスで30分で行けます。トレーナーのYusukeさんは単に筋力をつけるためではなく、私の課題を聞いてそれを解決するためのエクササイズを提案してくれます。予約はemailでやり取りすることができ、観光や出張などの合間にお勧めできます。
