Add to that, changing work out programs, tips on diet, tips on working out in general and a good natured, positive attitude have always been things I can look forward to in my training sessions. Training with Maki keeps me on track and usually goal oriented - at all times. Always a very enjoyable experience (even the days that remind me that 25 was a few years ago)  and have not hesitated in referring Maki to friends and associates."

After consulting Maki about my climbing and fitness goals he created a comprehensive diet, conditioning and weight-lifting program. With a a modicum of will power and adherence to his regimen Maki succeeded in my reaching a fitness level that well exceeded my expectations and which has allowed me to pursue my mountaineering goals with reserves of strength and energy of strength and energy. I hightly recommend him.

I have known Maki for over 5 years and during that time I have had the opportunity to observe his extensive knowledge in the nutrition, supplementation and exercise physiology fields. Not only has Maki personally advised me on my own training program and nutritional he has also helped many of the members on www.wannabebig.com achieve their fitness goals. In all of the time I have known Maki, his honesty and integrity comes out in everything he does and his passion to help others build better physiques is amazing. As the owner of Wannabebig and co-founder of AtLarge Nutrition I am proud to have Maki associated with both of these companies and would recommend him to anyone that is in search for better fitness results! 

Maki motivates us to do our personal best. We feel encouraged to push a little harder each time during our workouts to meet our goals. Not only have we seen and felt noticeable results in our strength, conditioning and physique but those around us have commented positively on how we look as well.

"I'm a police officer who trains hard in the gym and plays a lot of sports, so I would say I was in pretty good shape to begin with. But when I decided to try out for the Emergency Response Team, I knew I needed to take things to another level. I dedcided to start training with Maki and I've never looked back since. He came up with a unique training regime for me that foucsed on functional strength and conditioning. As a result I feel as though I am in the best condition of my life. Thanks again Maki."

"The weightlifting program and dietary advice that Maki
gave me has worked wonders. I've shed most of my abdominal fat and my body is a lot more defined than before. In fact, most of my pants no longer fit me now.  I feel lighter and faster on my feet during Judo than before, thanks to Maki's guidance."
