I was unfortunately only able to work with Hugo for a short while due to budgetary restraints, but I learned so much about lifting properly that now, even almost a year later, I am confounded at how poorly most people perform exercises. Even if someone is in perfect shape, they are either genetically gifted or are building muscle in spite of their, quite frankly, hideous exercise form. I have yet to see one person perform a pull-​up the proper way.
There are many great trainers out there, many of whom will help you achieve the results you desire. However, if you are a person who truly is interested in the mechanics of the body and how to maximize exercise efficiency, it would behoove you to have an assessment session with Hugo. He will make 15 pounds feel like 50. No matter how much you think you know about fitness, or if you are a complete beginner, I recommend him wholeheartedly and wish him continued success in his well chosen field.

I’ve worked with a few personal trainers in the past and I’ve always found it difficult to find a trainer that not only is knowledgeable and pushes you but also is a great person to be around. Hugo was completely dedicated to my goals inside and outside of the gym and I always looked forward to our sessions. In my experience, it’s hard to find a trainer that genuinely is right there with you while you’re working your ass off in the gym and isn’t distracted or having conversations with other people. Hugo was there for every rep and always took the time to explain why we were performing certain movements within the context of my personal goals. He made sure that each exercise I performed was done properly and made sense to me both physically and mentally. Hugo’s methods (both in terms of diet and exercise) were meticulous and methodically calculated based on scientific knowledge and years of experience. I’m telling you, if you are strapped for cash and hesitant to invest in a personal trainer that is really worth your time and money, please just schedule a consultation with Hugo and see for yourself. It is truly worth it.
Another big advantage to working with Hugo is the fact that he works through a private gym. I’m sure many of you have experienced the awkwardness of working out around strange, annoying or judgmental gym goers. At Matador, not only do you get to avoid all that, you don’t have to wait for people to finish their sets and you get to be around inspiring professional trainers and their dedicated clients. Being in this type of atmosphere really did make a big difference when training, more so than I had initially thought.
To sum it up, if you are looking for real physical results and are willing to put the hard work and effort into eating correctly, drinking all the water, doing the cardio and everything else it takes to transform yourself physically, then Hugo is the right guy to go to. He will make sure you are doing all these things correctly and within the correct portion and ratio to achieve your personal goals. Just trust me on this. You will not be disappointed.

This is my second time training with Hugo and he is so precise and professional. He does an amazing job explaining every workout and why we do them. He’ll modify every workout specific to the client and he always pushes me to my very best! I can’t thank Hugo enough for everything he’s taught me about health and fitness. I drive an hour just to see him. He’s worth it! I recommend him to anyone

I only have 6 training sessions with Hugo G so far. I bought 20 after the intro sessions. I was depressed that I was jiggly and the jiggly was making me depressed. Vicious cycle. After only 6 sessions, I am fitting into clothes I had lost the confidence to even try on. My glucose levels are going down. And oddly enough, I can see better without my glasses (because the glucose levels are stable). I’m getting over processed foods and sugars because I like the way the meal plan/​nutritional advice he offers makes me feel. Miracle worker, he is not. «Awesome trainer who knows what he is doing and who can motivate you to give it your best», he certainly is. Money well spent.

Having Hugo as a personal trainer has been an experience of a life time. I went into this fitness journey completely blind and kinda scared, from the day i met Hugo the journey has been such a great success. Hugo comes with LOTS & LOTS of knowledge, from day one he gets to know you and your personal fitness goals. He makes a workout routine and meal plan that will fit your goals. He takes time to make the workouts and meal plans that you will enjoy and that you are comfortable with. Hugo is very professional, very dependable & flexible, he works hard on making a schedule that will also fit your schedule. The gym facility is so awesome and has everything anyone would need to accomplish any workout, the staff there is great, everyone gets along so well that the vibe is always positive and fun. I would definitely recommend and refer Hugo to anyone that is looking for basic fitness learning or even a life changing fitness goal. Check him out, you wont regret it.

I purchased a 20 session package with Hugo and had a great experience. Hugo is a very affable person who figures out appropriate, personalized goals and chooses exercises specific to what you want to achieve. He easily modifies exercises as needed but knows how to push you to your limits in a safe but challenging manner. He’s also always open to answering any questions/​concerns via email/​phone and has a wide range of availability for workout sessions to accommodate various schedules.

First off I’ll say it is very difficult to find any free time to work out when going to Graduate school and working full time. Most importantly, staying consistent, not only with working out, but also, with the most important aspect, diet! I reached out to Hugo for a sense of guidance. I know how to workout and diet, or at least I thought I knew.
When I first started with Hugo, it was an informative session that he gave me so I could understand what I was investing my time in. I was able to understand from his point of view what was needed from my end and what he was going to deliver from his. To me, this was vital as I knew this time I really did need help.
Hugo is a very passionate and dedicated fitness expert. He has managed to deal with my busy work schedule and most importantly motivate me to find the time and use it wisely, whether working out with him or having him teach me what to do on my own time when we cannot meet. He has given me a structured fitness and diet plan specifically for my body type and goals which I wish to achieve and they have worked out amazingly!
I was very skeptical about seeking out a personal trainer and the stigma that comes from that thought process, but to date, this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I definitely recommend Hugo for any fitness/​health related needs in any form.
If you are in school and working or either or, Hugo will adjust his schedule and life to simplify the process for you. To me, the most important part of any service received is customer service! Hugo is 100% customer service oriented and always puts the client first!
Thank you for changing my life and helping me find balance!

Best trainer. Not pushy that it gets annoying but pushes just enough for you to get it going. He actually cares about your performance, sends emails and texts to confirm sessions and/​or give more information that’ll be beneficial to you in terms of diet or work out. He is very knowledgable when it comes to fitness/​nutrition, pays attention to your body posture and gives you good stretches post-​workout to make sure no injuries will occur. The exercises are never easy, it gets more challenging every time but you’ll feel accomplished when you’re done. Genuinely an excellent trainer and overall a nice guy.

A highly professional and conscientious trainer, Hugo is skilled at presenting exercises that are appropriately challenging and makes the necessarily accommodations so that you can feel successful. For each session he was prepared with a well thought plan. I completely appreciated the experience and I’d HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.
I’m sure that when I’m in the market again for a personal trainer, I won’t look any further. Above all, he’s a decent upstanding guy.

Best Personal Trainer, ever!
Hugo is the most patient, passionate, and professional trainer I have worked with. I have had 2 personal trainers in the past at corporate gyms that did not invest half the time that Hugo invests to cater to me and my goals. He provides workout programs and nutritional meal plans and re-​evaluates your body weight and body fat percentage on monthly basis to track your progress. Hugo also occasionally sends emails with great fitness tips that help keep you on track with your goals. There really aren’t enough things that I cannot positively say about Hugo (I know that sounds cliché). I have successfully dropped 20lbs of body weight and reduced my body fat levels and feel great! I cannot wait to look at my sexy self in a bikini this upcoming summer haha! Hugo is great in my book and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer!

Training with Hugo the past 2 months has been a great experience. When we first met, he took my body fat percentage and blood pressure with sophisticated devices that he has. I knew I had chosen a true professional right then and there. I had tried a couple of «free sessions» with different trainers, but no one had the professionalism of Hugo’s. He takes his fitness career very serious and with a passion. I can show up cranky or lazy, but he never lets me have a bad workout. He always says, «a good workout is never easy» when I’m pushing through my last repetitions, and that makes us have a love/​hate relationship, lol. He is awesome and I am truly grateful for his patience with me. I have seen a decrease in my body fat and an increase in my overall energy. If you’re looking for a true fitness professional, Hugo is your guy and you will not be even slightly disappointed, ever.

Hugo is the best trainer ever. He takes the time to demonstrate very move and never runs out of patience. I am 64 years young and lost 30 lbs in a few months under Hugo’s direction. I have been able to maintain my weight loss over a 4 year period working with Hugo off and on. I am currently training to strengthen my core as well as my bad knees. Hugo includes nutrition guidance which is just as important as regular exercise and strength training. I would recommend Hugo to anyone of any age seeking to improve and maintain a healthy body.

Perfectionist! And trust me you want that for a trainer. And I’ve got that in Hugo. I’ve been training with Hugo for almost 2 years and he whipped my body in great shape. Over the past 2 years I’ve gotten so many compliment as to how strong and tone my body and it’s all credit to this man. He is patient and consistent with you, when I’m ready to give up on my last set of exercise he gently encourages me to keep on going. They say having a personal trainer is expensive I’d say it’s worth the investment. You want a trainer who is patient, perseveres and never gives up on you. Hugo is best at what he does unlike other trainers out there who just want your money and wont teach you the proper form. Hugo will teach you the right form with the exact form and how you squat, pull up and perfect form. He goes «its not about the quantity its the quality of your exercise and targeting a specific muscle» Each circuit that he does with me targets a specific musle and he will explain it you. Oh and did I tell you he will also work with you on diet and nutrients?? The best investment you can have for yourself as we all know we do need that self care. And Hugo is that person who can help you achieve your goals.

Best. trainer. ever.
Before Hugo: 230 lbs, 25% body fat, unhealthy, lethargic
After Hugo: 200 lbs (and dropping), 18% body fat, tons of energy, improved focus
The results speak for themselves.
Hugo has helped me become stronger, faster, and slimmer through two major injuries and a lifetime of bad habits. He is just an awesome trainer and person as well. Here is what I like about Hugo:
*thorough — precisely tailors your workout to your goals and abilities
*customizes a realistic meal plan taking into account calories, goals, dietary needs, etc
*monthly measurements to track your progress
*relentless in trying to improve your form during workouts (something that most other trainers are lazy about)
*pushes you the right amount, not too extreme but just the right amount of push needed to keep advancing and not burn out
*he’s a master trainer — super knowledgeable about all aspects about training. He’ll throw in some non-​standard workouts too, to keep you on your toes
I know it sounds cliché but training with Hugo has drastically changed my life for the better. He has my highest recommendations.

After having a tragic injury to my neck, I wasn’t able to exercise for a while and that lead to a sad sad body and a depressed mind. I quickly had to do something about it.
I have always been great with maintaining a good weight and staying in shape. I never felt like I needed a personal trainer until now. After my first session with Hugo, I was AMAZED on how little I knew about my body. Not only does Hugo break it down to the simplest form for you to understand, he can get real technical and help you achieve any goals you have in mind.
From intense athletic training to simple helpful stretches, Hugo knows it all! This isn’t only work, Hugo has a bundle of exercises that can be challenging yet very entertaining. I actually look forward to my sessions every week.
* Very detailed exercises
* Customized meal plans to fit your goals
* Monthly Measurements to track your progress
* Motivational, Knowledgeable, Friendly, Fun and very very Patient!
The biggest and my favorite part of working with Hugo is the dieting. This has to be the biggest key in your exercises. Dieting alone has helped me shape my body back to were it was and maintain a healthy weight. Don’t hesitate to ask all questions possible when it comes to your diet.
Overall, my experience with Hugo is always great! There isn’t a session where I feel like my money is being thrown away. His presence during every exercise helps me push forward not only for myself, but for all my loved ones!
Share the wealth!

Let me start off by saying I’m so glad I started training with Hugo, the training schedule is very flexible he can always work around my super busy schedule and always have time for me. (No more excuses for not working out) He checks up with me when it’s time for me to get some training and stays communicate even out of the gym.
Hugo is very dedicated and he listens to what you want and can make changes to your meal plans. I was never really good at cooking and thought it would be super hard to keep up with the clean eating but he made it very easy for me and I can definitely see physical changes just by eating clean. He also gives cooking advices.
The most important thing is he is very detail oriented when it comes to working out. I seem to always forget the correct form when doing certain workouts even though it’s been quite some time, but he is still very patient and corrects me every time. He motivates you during sessions and makes sure you do that one last rep! Overall very motivational and friendly trainer!

First things first:
1) Clothes were getting tight and 7 mi hikes got me so winded that I had to stop multiple times.
2) I’ve never had personal training before so I was completely clueless.
3) This guy doesn’t have any pictures of himself anywhere!
At first, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to go with him so I decided to check out a few other trainers. One of the trainers I did a trial run with actually doesn’t do cardio and did circuit training instead. I personally dislike cardio so I asked Hugo whether I could forgo cardio and do circuit training instead and he said he can work with that. He is also very willing to answer any questions you may have about training and fitness whenever. That pretty much sealed the deal for me!
I’ve been training with him for about 6 months now — my initial goals were to build strength and endurance for Tough Mudders in 2015, build lean mass and maintain my weight. I enjoy training with Hugo because none of his sessions are the same. He’s quite energetic, lively (sometimes too much so that you just want to smack him down. :]), and funny which makes training fun.
Results so far: Hiking doesn’t get me winded anymore and my pants now fall off. I do feel stronger and a lot more fit than I did before I began training with him.
Tips: Don’t lie on the turf for too long or else you’ll end up on Instagram. Turkish getups are one of his favorites. He loves compound exercises over isometric exercises.

Hands down best training experience I’ve had! The knowledge and workouts he brings is excellent. Helped me out with my meal plans and workouts. Different workouts every session! His positive and genuine energy he had for me to reach my goal was great. Dropped my body fat % from 19 to 13 within two months! I highly recommend him you won’t be disappointed.
