PERSONAL TRAINING
“I have been training with Akane consistently for 1.5 years and it is honestly one of the best decisions you will ever make. Akane is incredibly knowledgeable about the sciences revolving around the human body and is a master at making and teaching effective workout programs. With them I have achieved all my body and transition related goals past and present. Akane’s expertise is unmatched but so is their kindness, PATIENCE, and communication skills. I always have so much fun and confidence training with their guidance!”

I specialize in functional strength and mobility training. Clients of all levels can expect to hone their foundations in strength training, while gaining insight into working with their own unique bodies and somatic systems.
I practice from the understanding that our bodies are wise, healing and growth are cyclical, strength is best approached from a holistic lens, and we are each capable of vast strength.

“It was a pleasure to have Akane as my personal trainer. They are extremely focused and after asking many questions I felt they had a great understanding of my personal needs and challenges. I was looking for a holistic approach with some emphasis on core and hamstrings. They put together a very exciting and challenging workout regimen with this focus in mind, that was highly effective and fun at the same time. They also gave me a lot of homework that I kept coming back to.” – Jurgen B.
“Had the best personal training experience with Akane, they are very knowledgeable, patient, warm, and attentive. They tailored my training plan based on my goals of posture correction, improving my performance in sports climbing and running. I can feel that I am getting stronger and performing better while doing my usual sports activities since I started training with Akane. Would highly recommend Akane to my friends and family.”
