"Efrain has helped me become the best athlete I can be. Through proper guidance and instruction he has transformed my body. His training principles and knowledge has helped me get bigger, faster and stronger. He has helped me reduce my 40 yard time by .6 (4.44 personal best) and this has also helped me to develop into an All County Football player as well as an All-State Wrestler. He is committed to bringing out the best in me and he is constantly challenging me to reach my full potential. I look forward to training with him through out my football career. Not only is he my trainer, but he has taught me valuable life skills that I will take with me where ever I go."

Dear Efrain,
Thanks again for the time and energy that you showed my daughter Alex. I can't believe her improvement in only two and a half months. Her speed improved dramatically. Her form went from a fast jogger style of running to that of a sprinter. She now looks like she's flying. I was also impressed with her increased agility, stamina, balance and most importantly her power and strength. She increased her explosiveness by 25% in the short time that you had her as well as lowered her time by 0.5 in the 40 yard.
Once again, we will be calling on you for more training in July for the month of August. Take care until then.

When my physical therapist recommended Efrain Larenas by name sixteen months ago, I took the recommendation seriously. I started training with Efrain almost immediately, and I couldn't be happier with my results. Because I have chronic knee pain, Efrain has to design workouts that strengthen all my muscle groups without stressing my knees. He does it beautifully. Efrain's knowledge base is impressive; my trepidation regarding re-injury led me to quiz him on biomechanics, kinesiology, and training techniques before we started working together and he satisfied my every concern. He translates that theory into practice using the minimal equipment in my home, supplemented with TRX equipment. Efrain designs challenging cardio and strength enhancing workouts that leave me tired and sweaty, but invigorated. I saw improvement in strength, endurance, flexibility and balance almost immediately and have continued to improve consistently. Efrain is overcoming decades of my inactivity (I'm 58 years old) with patience and humor, and without judgment.

Efrain, thank you for training me and encouraging me. I love the workouts and its great to burn 300 + calories in 30 minutes or less. Thanks for being a patient coach, a fair coach, and most of all, a fun coach!

Efrain, it was a pleasure to train with you. I wish I didn't have to take a brief sabbatical, but I promise to continue with the regimen you emailed me so that when I return, my body (which is the temple of GOD) will be a reflection of my commitment to physical fitness. You have been an awesome trainer, and I would gladly recommend you in a heart beat. May God continue to use your gifts and talents to bless others. Take care and God bless you.

"Working with Efrain Larenas has been both a blessing and a challenge. I became his client just about six months ago, after deciding that my life would end prematurely if I did not engage in a disciplined exercise regimen. In six short months, I have evolved from being able to run for barely one minute to running for 39 minutes without walking and running a personal best sub 30 minute 5K (29:34)–not to mention down two dress sizes. Awesome! More importantly, however, I am building muscle and moving towards my enormous goal of running the Marine Corps Marathon in 2005. As a professional scientist with responsibilities for staff, I appreciate Efrain’s professionalism; his ability to strongly encourage without any indication of harshness; and his ever-present positivism. He has succeeded in ridding my exercise vocabulary (and perhaps my vocabulary in general) of the word “can’t.” He is a bright, well-adjusted, God-fearing, family man who brings his positive attitude to bear on his clients very successfully."

Efrain rocks as a trainer!
I started training with Efrain about 9 months after having a baby. He pushes me to the fullest while always looking out for my safety so that I don't get injured. Efrain comes very prepared to every workout and lets me know how the session is going to proceed. He keeps the workouts exciting and changes them up every session to add new and interesting exercises. He is creative about our workouts to the point where friends of mine in the gym have told me they watch him for ideas to enhance their own workouts. Efrain is not only considerate to the clients he is training, he is mindful of what others are doing in the gym to make sure they stay safe and we aren't in their way. Efrain has helped me tone up, lose weight and gain strength and feel better about myself mentally and physically! I am lucky to have found him as my trainer and am thankful for all he has done for me.

Efrain,
I wanted to formally thank you for how you have helped me become a better and stronger person. Over the past 8 months, you have motivated me, challenged my body and mind, all the while, making my workouts fun and NEVER boring or repetitive. I always enjoy riding my after-workout highs, even on those days I have to drag myself in for my session with you. Both my strength and body composition have improved dramatically!! I wish I had taken before pictures because I am extremely happy with my body transformation and look forward to training with you for many years to come! With you in my corner, there’s no limit on what we can accomplish!
With much appreciation,

I have had many personal trainers in my life and I can honestly say that Efrain is one of the best ones out there. He really listens to your goals and personalizes a plan that is going to give you results. He is very professional and is really good at what he does. He really helped me achieve my goals and I have been able to maintain my weight off. He really motivated me during my workout sessions and I always felt like I was doing an effective workout. I'm so glad that I was able to meet him and work with him. I would recommend him to anybody who wants to see real results.
