About Carlos

I am a biomechanist who started just coaching kids in gymnastics classes. I found that I enjoyed what I did then. I loved seeing the kids progress through skills and actually make progress towards higher level skills. I have found throughout my years as a currently active gymnast I enjoy aiding my teammates in reaching their goals by giving them form corrections, and praising them for their correct technique.

I have combined now more than 15 years of gymnastics experience with my knowledge in health sciences, which includes anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and public health, to make efficient exercise programs that aide clients in achieving their goals. I also use my knowledge gained from working as a rehab tech in various physical therapy offices in order to safely get clients to be the people they wish to become.

While I prefer working with motivated clients, I find ways to inspire the unmotivated into making changes that positively impact their life.

Super positive while helping you target your fitness goals, and cares about his clients and makes sure the sessions are injury free, and is attentive to medical issues to make sure those areas aren’t being strained during the exercise .

I worked with Carlos at GymIt in Watertown. Having an over 50 body I had to be careful not to strain or injury any tendons or muscles. Carlos tailored a program to my particular issues and fitness level. I really enjoyed the different types of exercises and how he evolved them overtime to meet my every changing needs. Thanks, Carlos!

From working with Carlos weekly back in 2019, I learned very quickly how serious he was about knowing my body type and what will work for me based upon research. He had the rep range down to the science each workout, and was very effective at improving my mobility and range. All with limitations from sports injuries in my lower back and knees! Kudos for always doing your homework!

I have been working with Carlos for 4years. Like very much his professionalism and attitude. He might be more pushy that you currently need, but overall he knows what hi is doing. I trust him very much

Carlos is a great dude and very easy to work with. He tends to prefer bodyweight training and cardio-centric exercises so be prepared for that.

Carlos has an extensive knowledge about anatomy, great experience, and an athletic background. He’s a great motivator as well

Carlos trained me for a period of time where I was working to remove pain and dealing with a lack of mobility. He was quite successful in devising and executing a plan to address my imbalances which were causing my dysfunction. Carlos is the exception in a world of copycat programs and one size fits all approaches to fitness. Let him devise a plan for you

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carlos for about a year. His work ethic, dedication, and commitment are truly unmatched. He cares about his clients. Anybody who gets the chance to work with him will say the same!

Carlos is professional and great to interact with, but more importantly, focused on maximizing your sessions with him. He was direct from the start about the need to establish goals, and excellent at focusing the workout toward those goals, while adapting for current limitations imposed by a previous injury.

When working with Carlos it is quality over quantity. His kern eye for detail with squats, lunges and so much more help to better the work out and reduce the risk of injury. Feel confident I am getting the best care and 100% from Carlos cause he is very passionate about fitness and education.

I worked with Carlos for about 1 year to improve my posture and alignment. His background in gymnastics really showed through as he created interesting and challenging workouts while showing a sound knowledge of the human body. I appreciate Carlos's passion and energy. He has a charm that can turn challenges into a lively experience. I highly recommend Carlos for those looking to work on their mobility.

Great first experience. Great first session, Carlos is very professional and supportive and quickly found out what I needed out of my PT session.

Carlos is a godsend. Carlos has been working with my 18 yo son for a few months now. He has established good report with my son and helped him feel invested in his fitness. He is a person my son enjoys being challenged by and he is sensitive to not pushing him so far he feels discouraged. He sends occasional texts to encourage my son to keep up with his fitness during vacation. My son is autistic and has really wanted to be more fit but struggled to achieve any routine on his own. While he complains about a lot of self care activities in his schedule he always looks forward to his sessions twice a week with Carlos. He has been such a help to my son and we are so grateful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who is truly present, invested and wants to see his clients succeed. He is both professional and warm.
