Stronger Together

As a pretty feminine gay man who was always more of a mathlete than an athlete, I’ve never felt comfortable in a gym setting. Tchai had no problem meeting me where I was at. We started training at home until I felt confident enough to do the movements in a public setting. Within a few weeks my stress levels went down and then within a few months I started seeing results. At that point I was hooked. From there Tchai really turned up the heat. We started lifting heavier and heavier and I was having so much fun the entire time!

One of my favorite things about training with Tchai is how science driven it is. There were many times where my confidence dipped and Tchai was always there to snap me back to reality with actual data and photos depicting my progress. Your eyes may lie to you, but numbers certainly won’t.

Tchai is also always down to make adjustments as needed. There have been some months where my workload was simply too intense to keep up the regimen, so Tchai would edit them in a timely manner to ensure that I keep progressing, even if it is a little slower.

A strong support system is vital in every endeavor and I’ve never felt alone with Tchai as my coach.

I played sports with Tchaikovsky throughout high school and trained with him in college, believe me when I tell you this man’s work ethic is absolutely unparalleled.  I’ve had nagging injuries since our student athlete days that I’ve tried to get resolved at other doctors and physical therapist, they all just seemed rushed and not focused on what I actually needed. When he told me he was doing personal training it was a no brainer for me.

I knew he wouldn’t just give me a cookie cutter schedule but would give me something that actually fits me and what I have going on. We started with an initial assessment of my fitness level and my current bio mechanics. It really helps that he’s a doctor of physical therapy because he had the knowledge to help fix my muscle imbalances and give me a routine tailored just for me. We got proper support for my feet which helped my knee alignment during training, added lots of stretching and accessories to help out my imbalances and of course the base of my training which was focused on overall strength gains. We’d meet weekly as well to go over how the week went and made any adjustments needed. You won’t need to go anywhere else, Jr got you covered.

I had an outstanding experience with Doctor Cantalicio. His passion for success, knowledge and excellent communication skills sets him apart. He clearly explained each exercise, ensuring I was comfortable and informed while providing words of encouragement.

As a former professional athlete with a history of injuries, he took the time to thoroughly evaluate me and craft a tailored program that fit my needs and wants. His dedication and enthusiasm were evident in every session, keeping me motivated and confident on my fitness journey. I highly recommend Doctor Cantalicio for anyone looking to start their fitness journey or are looking to get back into the swing of things.
