 After a friend avoided back surgery by doing intensive physical therapy, after trying many avenues to fix my unstable and painful pelvis, I decided to give therapy a try, but with a twist: A full-body workout with a qualified trainer. Jesse was the perfect match: He is in my age range, knows how to recover from health-related challenges, and has impressive qualifications and experience. The second twist and another critical factor: He is a former ballet dancer and personal ballet trainer. Who could be better for someone who was not flexible? I don’t believe in making my body suffer, so I had one condition: No sore muscles. Jesse showed a lot of patience and creativity, and he helped my body do movements I had lost the ability to do — and painlessly. After two months, my chiropractor noticed that I had started to build muscle — and I don’t see her much anymore. I love Jesse’s low-impact approach, soft body-weight, gravity, and barefoot techniques. The latter significantly increased my balance. When the pandemic hit, we resumed our training online. It was a blessing: Now, we are back to in-person training at the fantastic Diakadi Body. I am in super shape—and incidentally leaner. We are now into Phase Two, and I like to surprise Jesse by asking him to increase the weights. I couldn’t have made a better choice!— Berenice G.

 I was an athlete once upon a time. Then I lost it all to old age. Jesse revived my spirit and helped turn back the clock on my body and form 30 years. — Victor R

 I can’t say enough about the profound effect training with Jesse has had on me. His whole-self approach includes physical and mental wellbeing, bringing all the elements for success — from proper nutrition to fostering a positive mindset — into focus. As a result, not only has he helped me achieve my initial fitness goals, he’s helped me to see beyond them and understand what I am truly capable of — at the gym and in life. I consider Jesse not only an exceptional trainer but a mentor, coach, and friend. — Sean McGrath

I am a senior man who has been going to the gym and working with trainers for a long time.  I have been with Jesse now for six years, and I recommend him for any bodywork needs you may have, from competitive to rehabilitative.  He has seen it all and has done well dealing with my physical (and sometimes motivational) quirks.  Most importantly, he is highly skilled in constantly challenging and adapting exercises to suit the inevitable changes that occur with aging.  He is an excellent trainer.
