Personal training review October 2023

Glen O

Yusuke is incredible! I worked with him previously to develop best practices for independence at the gym. He invited me back for a session to check in and catch up. The circuits were relevant to what I’m working on my own but also exciting and challenging. Yusuke is very dedicated to ensure the workout is challenging but safe and enjoyable. His training helped set the foundation for my confidence, and my success at the gym.

5/5 would recommend to anyone.
