Bottom line, I think Renato is the best personal trainer in the Laguna Beach area. I am an experienced gym-goer and somewhat picky about trainers. I steered with Renato about 10 months ago with specific goals that I shared with him - I'm getting old and I wanted to lean out, increase flexibility, and focus on core strength. Renato has been amazing - I am in better condition than I've been in years, and I've dropped 10 pounds and a belt notch. Renato is not for the faint of heart - he will push you but if you hire your trainer to work you rather than chit chat, he's your guy. He is always positive, super reliable, and a genuinely nice guy... and obviously knows his stuff! He is aspirational and inspirational - the workouts are always mixed up and different keeping it interesting for me! The gym is really well equipped and complete - much better than most other gyms in town. You can't do better than Renato!
