Surfcore Fitness Personal Training

I started training with Carlos because I surf everyday and wanted a trainer that knew how to both make me strong but not over work the same muscles I’m already exhausting. While also strengthening my core and find me more confidence in a bikini.
Well, he’s accomplished all those things and then some. He’s passionate, smart and truly understands human anatomy. Having been a ballet dancer and having a strong understanding of my own body, I’m very picky on only working with a trainer that truly understands the mechanics of working out your body. Plus I have so much fun with him, he motivates your inner warrior inspiring you to be strong, fit and full of aloha.
You’ll start seeing results pretty quickly and they’ll continue until you reach your goals. He understands how to keep your body transforming and pays close attention to ensure you’ll not plateau. He’ll also help you understand how to accelerate change by giving advice on how to eat healthy and what to do on your off days.
I’m having an incredible time training with Carlos and if you start training with him will probably see you at a MudRun or another fun event he puts together for his clients to keep us motivated and having fun. He has us so strong that we just showed up at the MudRun and had fun playing in mud while others were struggling with the fitness challenge.
Carlos has my highest recommendation.

Carlos is the best trainer I have ever had! He knows how to motivate each of his clients to get the best results. He also designs each workout differently, so it’s fun and challenging at the same time. His «Aloha» style and attitude influence everything, from his indoor/​outdoor gym to his attitude and training style. All of his clients call him «The Butt Whisperer» for a reason! In just a couple of months, my butt and legs are toned and ready for the beach! Last, but not least, the privacy and peaceful atmosphere of his gym allow me to stay focused, enjoy the outdoors while working out, and get the individual attention I need. P. S. It’s a dog-​friendly gym! Carlos rocks!

Carlos brought a whole new level of intensity to my workouts, but did it in an amazing way that got the best out of me. He really cares about getting you the right results, and putting together workouts that push you to the limit without you really realizing it, so you can keep improving week on week.
Carlos is great at mixing it up so your not doing the same thing week after week — it’s not about throwing around as much weight as possible, but about using all the parts of your body to get a great result. There is a great mix and balance to every workout that we do.
Beyond knowing all the «technical» aspects of training, what Carlos really is the best at is motivating you to get results in a positive way. When I’m at the end of the day, Carlos’s energy is able to power me through a workout. Give him a few months and he’ll not only get you a great body, but a great attitude and focus to working out.

If you’re looking for a trainer that cares, this is your man. The trainer Carlos is amazing, he makes you work harder than you’ve ever worked before without all the negative noise that some trainers use to motivate you. He is very personable, always fun to talk to, and very passionate about fitness and people. He can change your life if you decide to work with him in this transformation.
He’s been training me for the last 2 months and he’s completely changed the way I train. I’m a former division 1 athlete that let himself go after my playing days were over. A combination of bad eating habits and a lack of desire to put forth the effort to get back to my prime was holding me back. I wanted to work my way back into shape so a few months ago I got back into the gym regularly, but it wasn’t until I started Surfcore that I started seeing the results coming swiftly. I’ve slimmed down while maintaining muscle mass and I’m down a total of 15 lbs. but all my clothes are falling off of me. I haven’t felt this good after working since my college days.
Carlos, also known as AlohaTrainer, has a great heart and tons of knowledge that can whip anybody into the best shape of their life.

Carlos really is as good as it gets! I have never been a gym rat and frankly, exercise has always had to have a «point» in order for me to stay engaged. Being active and outdoors has always made more sense to me than running endless miles on a treadmill or stationery bike. I started working with Carlos in mid-​January 2014 and have watched my body completely transform. HIs tabata style of workouts used in conjunction with functional training and TRX have made my core stronger, increased my stamina and have helped with my overall well being. I sleep better at night, am more patient and have learned not to be so hard on myself as this is a journey, not a destination. His training aside, which is second to none, Carlos has always been attentive, focused on me and my goals and makes our time together a priority. After suffering a knee injury a couple of months ago and working my way back, Carlos has approached it with conservative strengthening while still incorporating cardio routines that keep my fitness level high. Not only has Carlos been an amazing trainer that injects humor, tough love and encouragement at every turn, he has become a great friend to which I hold myself accountable. Carlos gets two thumbs up, way up!!!

I’ve worked around Carlos as a fellow independent trainer who now trains my fiancé. I always knew he had a special way of working with the female body, but have even more impressed since he started training Kim. She has trained with him for only 6 months and everything about her body is tighter and leaner and her butt is a different story. I can’t stop her from eating all the crap she eats BUT it doesn’t seem to matter because she doesn’t eat it cause she doesn’t want to let Carlos down. His skills, his attention to technique, his creativity and his unique way to motivate clients all are only part of what makes him the trainer he is. I called him the «Butt Whisperer» because girls butts just seem to listen to him. he says rise and they do!

I love training with Carlos! I’ve watched my body change dramatically. He’s fun, inventive and really cares about his clients. Carlos customizes each workout to target my specific goals. I couldn’t be happier!!!

The Surfcore method combines high intensity intervals, TRX movement, and tabata with an emphasis on always using core strength. Carlos understands the future of fitness. He will teach you how to achieve & maintain your personal goals and guide your journey to a healthier lifestyle. No attitude, no fluff, no judgment methods of training always with an Aloha spirit.

Carlos is such an amazing trainer– I could not rave about him more!
He has tailored a work out that is enjoyable, effective, AND the best part is that I’ve seen results in less than a month. Morning work outs are never a drag anymore– I look forward to maximizing my hour long work outs with him. He is very knowledgable with his teachings and routines. I highly recommend Carlos to anyone who wants to strengthen up and get in shape while having a few laughs. He also has a great sock collection!

Surfcore is amazing! I have had trainers who I have hated before (you know what I mean) but Carlos is different. He knows when to be hard on me, when to be reassuring, he knows when to call me out. Other trainers don’t figure you out, he got into my head and knew when and how to push me. I have always been ok on my weight, but since working with him I have started to have the body I wish I had in high school (I am in my 30’s now). I am in the best shape of my life, and I can see results. It’s hard work but having someone who is supportive and understanding is great. When I met him I asked how can I look like you? And he is getting me there.

Carlos is fantastic. His training style manages to strike a unique balance of genuine patience and concern for your personal wellbeing while still inspiring you to keep pushing beyond your limitations with a supportive and «go-get-‘em» attitude. Inspiration and perspiration! It’s a much more holistic approach and one that has helped me succeed beyond just the physical aspects of the program. Cannot recommend more highly.

Carlos has a unique approach that has really helped me strengthen my core. My back problems are literally melting away. He is also a kind and patient coach. I LOVE my work outs!
