Client Reviews & Testimonials

“Been a longtime member of Pacific THERx Fitness. The people there know there business… and are knowledgeable, friendly and help you with your Fitness needs!! Highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Emilio is amazing. He has really helped me during my postpartum fitness journey. Over the past four months he has designed a program that has improved my alignment, coordination, and strength, helping me feel much more capable when working out. During each session he watches me like a hawk to make sure that I am being safe and focused on best practices for each exercise. I would highly recommend working out with Emilio.

After having my son, I was experiencing significant back pain. I wanted to find a personal trainer who understood my specific challenges, could help me rebuild whole body strength, and would focus on injury prevention. After one session with Emilio I knew I had found the right person. He began by asking questions and listening carefully to understand my concerns. He then designed a program that, over the past four months, has allowed me to improve my alignment, coordination, and strength and has me feeling much more capable. My trust and confidence in Emilio as a trainer comes from his clear knowledge and experience, his attentiveness and dedication to safe practices, and his commitment to helping me progressively meet my goals. I know that as I continue to work with him he will actively challenge and support me on my fitness journey.”

“I continue to be amazed at the rapid progress that l make under Emilio’s guidance. He has a talent for developing effective, targeted exercises that don’t leave me sore. I always look forward to my next session with Emilio.”

“If you are looking for a gym that prides itself on personal attention to your fitness goals Pacific THERx is just what you are looking for. My daughter ( a 17 year old athlete)... her goals are sport specific while mine are weight loss and stamina, and core strength to help a stiff back. The key to personal training for us has always been that 'click' ...challenging workouts that are varied and never the same any of the 3 days we train a week... The gym is a great space, warm and friendly. We live in Palo Alto and have many fitness options in our backyard, but I can't imagine any place as great as Pacific THERx !!”

“One year after I started training with Emilio, I am markedly stronger, healthier and at 63 am in better shape than I have been since my 20’s. Emilio is motivating, knowledgeable and makes training sessions interesting and fun.”

“Pacific THERx provides excellent service on so many levels. The fitness center can help you improve fitness, reach competitive or health goals, and prevent future injury. The staff is 100% professional and responsive. They have excellent equipment and are always upgrading and innovating. Most importantly, they are never cavalier with your health or safety. I can't recommend Pacific THERx highly enough. If you are injured or just want to improve your fitness, you will not find a better team to help you through the process.”

“When I started training with Emilio, I never worked out in a gym and considered myself to be unathletic. From the start, he has been excellent at teaching me how to do new exercises with proper form in order to prevent injury. He excels at explaining how these exercises will help with my functional fitness. I see and feel the results of my regular sessions with him.My husband, who has previous experience with strength training, has also reaped the benefits of training with Emilio. I see how he adapts his cues and coaching to suit our different needs. We both highly recommend training with Emilio!”
