Client Testimonials

“I have known Kaj for over 10 years - when I first engaged him as a personal trainer. Over the years Kaj began training other members of my family. As the professional relationship grew, so did our friendship and trust. Kaj traveled with me and my family on several trips to keep our training current which, of course, allowed an opportunity to enjoy leisure time together.

Kaj has always been an excellent trainer, his meticulous nature assuring proper technique in order to avoid injury. He also focused on proper rest, recovery, and healing as a basic part of wellness. Over the years, I have been fascinated with Kaj’s desire to learn new skills and techniques to allow him to more broadly serve his client’s needs through meditation and mindset training. His continually expanding knowledge and skills set him apart from most personal trainers. His professionalism, innovation, and responsibility are refreshing.

Kaj also expressed an interest in learning more about business. We had several opportunities to evaluate business ventures within the wellness space. Although none came to fruition, it was certainly an educational experience for both of us.

From a personal perspective, I have enjoyed getting to know Kaj over the years. He has shown himself to be an honest and caring person, desirous of helping others wherever possible.”

R. Rothman CEO of Black Diamond Capital and former NFL franchise owner

Kaj has been my trainer since 2019. Prior to training with him, I had always been someone who was intimidated by gyms and completely clueless about how to achieve my fitness goals. During my very first consultation with Kaj, I realized that he was different than any other trainer that I had worked with in the past. He was very methodical about helping me understand and envision what my goals were and how to progressively work towards them. He has helped me transform not just my fitness but also my mindset, awareness and lifestyle. His holistic, tailored approach has kept me on track longer than ever before - while helping me successfully avoid setbacks and injury.

 

Kaj truly cares about his clients and is passionate about making a difference. He has an excellent work ethic and instills the same in you. He is a patient, thoughtful and encouraging influence who gently but surely nudges me to achieve results that are beyond what I had believed possible.  As the best coaches do, he has groomed me to become self-driven and self-sufficient with a better understanding of my motivators and limiters and he has armed me with the necessary tools and strategies for continued success. I am very grateful to Kaj for his help and guidance!
