I used to workout at a community centre in Richmond and watched as some personal trainers trained their clients. Most of the trainers were showing their clients the same routine over and over again, but I noticed one trainer showing each of his clients a different routine, which definitely caught my eye. Maki was that trainer and later, when I finally made the decision to start properly taking care of my body.
Many of my colleagues and friends keep telling me that I look great and so different from "BM" (before Maki). I have before and "later" (6 months after starting to train with Maki) pictures. The results were striking. My entire body is more toned, muscles are more pronounced, my posture changed entirely, I lost 2 dress sizes and I can actually see a waistline.
I love that Maki takes the time to diversify the training on a regular basis; it makes working out so much more enjoyable. Maki is very patient and encouraging with his clients, while at the same time always expecting them to give their best. I love it that my energy level has increased tremendously and that people almost half my age have trouble keeping up with me!

I started training with Maki almost two years ago now. I was always at the gym, giving it (what I thought was) my 100%, but I started to get bored and wondered if I was training to my full potential. A friend of mine mentioned that she and her husband were training with Maki and how much they liked him, so I decided to give him a try.
The results I have noticed since training with Maki are outstanding. I feel stronger, more confident, and the changes in my physique are amazing. I trained with Maki throughout my recent pregnancy and not only did it keep me strong and healthy, within three weeks postpartum I lost all my pregnancy weight plus a couple of extra lbs!
Maki is very knowledgeable, genuine, and always gives his 100%. He cares about his clients, has fun with them, and at the same time is able to give direction and that extra “push” we all need.

I have played soccer and been into fitness my entire life. I have had many high level coaches and trained with some great trainers. I was looking for someone who could take my training to the next level. With the career I am in I need to be fit and stay in shape. I was looking to lose about 20lbs and really tone up. Now, I actually can see my abs. I have toned up and lost weight. Ladies if you want shoulders Maki is your guy :)
I like the fact that you never know what to expect. The workouts are hard and he pushes you. It a mental as well as physical challenge. He listens to the needs of his clients and he designs a program that is suited for what you want and you'll get the results you are looking for. Go for it, challenge yourself ….... you wont be disappointed. Maki's training is the best I have ever had.

I came to Maki because I needed someone to help motivate me and to guide my workouts. My goal was to increase my strength and size for Muay Thai. The problem was that I needed to get fast results. I only had 4 weeks before I was off to Thailand for work. What I accomplished in 4 weeks might have taken me 6 months without Maki’s help.
The results were incredible and were beyond my wildest expectations. In 3 or 4 weeks I gained almost 10 pounds of muscle. More importantly, I saw an overall increase in strength and general health. I felt better and had more energy.
Maki creates routines based on your goals. Then, he not only motivates you, but teaches along the way. He explains the various exercises and helps you understand your body. As you progress he adapts your routine to match your goals and how your body responds. He takes a much broader and well rounded approach to helping you accomplish your goals. I would highly recommend Maki if you’re serious about changing your body.

"As a person with a background in exercise science, I was very particular about who I chose to train with. Every step with Maki was worth it! He had such a global approach to training, from dealing with my injuries and applying my training to my sport to addressing my nutrition concerns. His strong knowledge base and foundation in training, as well as his professionalism were topnotch. Maki has elevated my training to a whole new level and I am hugely grateful"!

“My motto is; find a professional that you trust and then trust the professional you find. I have put my utmost trust in your ability to help me with my fitness goals and I truly can not believe the results. You know your stuff Maki. I couldn’t accomplish in the gym in 4 hours, what I can accomplish with 40 minutes of you being the boss of me!”

"I had struggled with being underweight for the majority of my life. I began to train under the direction of Maki, and very quickly Maki was able to pinpoint and help me overcome the obstacles that had kept me from achieving any substantial weight gain. His instruction was very clear and clearly came from experience, as is obvious from the results I have since achieved. Thanks for all your help!" Shalinder CEO Type-S Media |

"My primary goal for training with Maki was to get educated on the basics of weight training. With a strong emphasis on proper technique, and ensuring I understood why I was doing something, he set me up for continued training on my own, even after I moved out of the city. Maki showed me how to structure my programs with the correct set of exercises, how to maintain the right level of intensity, and most importantly, how to minimize the risk of injury." RY |

"I was referred to Maki by the Thompson Community Centre. It has been a fortuitous referral indeed, especially considering that I'd never ever met a personal trainer before. I have especially appreciated Maki's knowledge of nutrition and overall physical fitness. In just over a year he has methodically helped this out of shape senior to overcome the mobility restrictions of advanced arthritis in both hips, and now a relatively pain free reintroduction to golf. Thank you, Maki." Tom Jonhston Retired Financial Analyst |
