We talked more golf than we did basketball. Dug up this picture from about 13 years ago.
It was an honor to meet the legendary Coach Lenny Wilkens and have this snapshot with him, me, and my daughter, Sierra, when she was just about a year old.
A Hall of Famer in every sense of the word—a player, a coach, and a phenomenal person.

Rest in peace, Coach. Thank you for all you contributed to the game and beyond. 🙏

I don't usually hype up airport food, but SFO is a little different for this one. Mama Go's really hitting the spot!

Alameda BIKE FOR THE PARKS is back!
Mark your calendars! September 30, 2023, 9am

See you all there!

Active Sunday. Hot Yoga class taught by Udeerna, followed by 3 mile beach run. Monitored activity and recovery through my Garmin Fenix 7 .

Recovery time, even if on the road using Normatec Go and Hypervolt 2 Pro (not pictured) !

I am humbled to be a part of this upcoming event in my parents' home country of the Philippines.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to teach and share what I know on Personal Training and Corrective Exercise. It's going to be a great time for learning and networking with those who desire to help others through better movement.

This is what happens when you purge files!

I transported back almost 20 years back to what I was starting to learn at the time. Here you see the beginnings of what has become information in what is taught by through what is called the Corrective Exercise Specialist and the Performance Enhancement Specialist. Industry changing information to say the least.

After flipping through some pages I recognize that not everything is taught the same, of course. As the research, science and application have evolved so has the techniques and strategies. I'm glad for that because if I reflected on my career and realized that I've been teaching 20+ year old material as it was when I first learned it I'd call myself
1) Lazy and/or,
2) Irrelevant

Now I ask myself, what do I want to be teaching and applying 20 years from now?

None of this happens by accident.

~ It all starts with the clients that entrust us with helping them with their goals. Without you and your continued support and patronage there is no business

~ It's going to sound cliche but just to be on this list that recognizes the local individuals and businesses is an honor. The reputation of the "Top 5" forces me to commit to a higher standard of service because that's what the community expects.

~ Training Station would be just a building of brick, wood and glass if it weren't for the trainers within who make it what it is. Thank you Eric, Carolina, Tatiana, Morgan, Michael for making it what it is. Thank you all for showing up every day with your enthusiasm, passion and energy.

~ After the shut down where Alameda had one of the longest and strictest restrictions in the state/country. We adapted by renting/ loaning equipment, worked out outside when temperatures and smoke conditions allowed, became a recording studio for instructional videos and podcasts. We stayed open to experience the comeback we're seeing today. That took faith and perseverance and as I mentioned before the support of the community.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

So good to be doing in-person training sessions again. Been a while since I've seen this crew from Crunch. Honored to share my experience using these industry leading recovery tools and how they make people better, faster.

Recovery is one of the best kept secrets of fitness programming. The members of Crunch Fitness Walnut Creek (CA) have one of the best Rest and Recovery (R&R) programs available powered by Hyperice!

Percussion and vibration sessions are facilitated by this team of skilled, experienced personal trainers guiding you through a combined Hyperice Hypervolt session and restorative massage using Normatec compression sleeves.

Enjoyed a sunny Southern California day with some great talent both in front of and behind the camera. New product coming soon from National Academy of Sports Medicine and these guys represented well.
Not only was it a day of filming but there was some down time for a quick game of volleyball and "trainer" talk. Always an honor to contribute to events like this. Pleasure meeting and working with you all.
