I have lost 70 pounds so far in 11 months thanks to Brent. I 100% could not have accomplished this…read morewithout his help, guidance and support because I have tried dozens of times prior and failed every time. I use both Brent's nutrition coaching and personal training. He is the best!

Brent makes it all possible, with his encouragement and attention to detail in the workouts, he plans the program to suit your specific needs and changes it up so it is never boring. I highly recommend Brent without hesitation.

I've been meaning to try pilates for years, in fact my best friend opened up his own pilates studio…read morein Long Beach so I've had ample opportunity to take advantage of some lessons. Being a novice, I felt comfortable and at ease with Tesia, my pilates intructor at Pilates Studio of Carmel. She demonstrates what she would like me to do which is great since I'm a visual learner. It was my first pilates lesson but I've spent most of my younger years taking lessons (mostly tennis) and then instructing myself and her style is very professional yet she creates a warm inviting atmosphere. Tesia is sweet, patient and overall a superb instructor. The studio itself is in a prime location in Carmel by the Sea and there are several windows giving it an open, clean and airy vibe. I look forward to taking many more lessons with Tesia there. Oh and Tesia is a hottie too! Haha! I strive to be as fit as her some day.
