Train with Me In-Person
If you want the fastest path to real results, this is it. Nothing replaces a coach who can see you move, correct you in real time, and push you in ways a program on a screen never could.
What Makes In-Person Different
Every 40X0 offering is built on the same methodology — the same periodization, the same tempo, the same science. But in-person coaching is a different experience entirely.
When you're in the gym with me I can see things a video review never captures. The subtle hip shift on your squat. The shoulder that's compensating on your press. The rep that looked fine on camera but felt wrong in real time. These are the details that separate good results from great ones — and they're only catchable in person.
Every session is hands-on. I'm not watching from across the room — I'm right there with you, coaching every set, cueing every rep, and adjusting the program in real time based on how you're moving and responding that day. If something isn't working we fix it immediately. If you're ready for more we push further.
This is also where the Move Better philosophy comes to life most fully. Mobility work, movement screening, corrective exercise — these aren't afterthoughts in my sessions. They're built into the foundation because a client who moves well lifts more, recovers faster, and stays injury free longer. Every session begins with intention and ends with purpose.
In-person training isn't just the most personalized option I offer. It's the most complete.
Where We Train
DIAKADI isn't a commercial gym. It's an invitation-only facility home to some of the most accomplished personal trainers and strength coaches in the Bay Area. The equipment is elite, the environment is professional, and the standard of coaching inside those walls is unlike anything you'll find at a standard gym.
Training here means being surrounded by excellence — coaches who push each other, learn from each other, and hold each other to the highest standards. That environment directly benefits you as a client. The conversations happening between sessions, the continuing education, the exposure to world-class coaches — all of it feeds back into the quality of your programming and coaching.
It's not just where I work. It's part of why I keep getting better — and part of why my clients get results that last.

The 40X0 Methodology — In Practice
Understanding tempo on paper is one thing. Executing it under load, with a coach watching every phase of every rep, is another.
In our sessions the 40X0 tempo isn't just prescribed — it's coached. I'm counting your eccentric, watching your positioning, cueing your concentric intent, and making sure every rep produces the adaptation it's designed to. Over time this builds a level of body awareness and movement quality that carries into every program that follows.
Combined with structured periodization — cycling between muscle building and strength phases — this is programming that compounds. Every phase builds on the last. Every session has a purpose. Nothing is random.
What Clients Are Saying
"At 57, this is the first time in my life I've been truly consistent, dedicated, and inspired when it comes to fitness. Since training with AJ my body fat has dropped over 6% and I've gained significant lean muscle mass. His deep knowledge of working with injuries has been a game-changer."
Harry T."When I first started I was recovering from a back injury and wasn't sure what my body could handle. Thanks to AJ's guidance I not only recovered safely but lost 15 pounds and became stronger than I ever imagined."
Anita V.
"When we started I was 223 pounds and felt stuck. Today I'm down to 198, my body fat has dropped 8%, and I've never felt stronger or more comfortable in my own skin. AJ is more than just a trainer — he's a true coach."

The first session is a full assessment — we take a deep dive into your movement patterns, mobility, strength baseline, and training history. It's booked as a standard hour session but in practice it typically runs longer at no extra charge. By the end I have everything I need to build a program that's genuinely tailored to you — not a generic starting point.
