Yusuke’s personal training sessions have been amazing! As a newcomer to the gym, I was a bit intimidated but he quickly made me feel comfortable. He is very beginner friendly and helps newcomers to the gym understand how to use the machines and fix their form.

With Yusuke, I am able to safely practice advancing onto heavier weights or increasing the intensity before attempting to do it on my own. Thank you Yusuke for helping me become more active!
