Oscar specializes in corrective exercise, injury prevention and rehabilitation, but has extensive training in running programs, weight loss and performance enhancement as well.

Oscar’s career in personal training began ten years ago as an undergraduate and collegiate athlete at California State University Los Angeles. Oscar participated in body mass labs, focused on delaying onset of lactate threshold in long duration exercise, and began accumulating experience and credentials in personal training. After graduation, Oscar trained under the supervision of Erick Landswick and Thad Stracker at Landswick Physical Therapy in Pasadena. He worked there for a year as a Physical Therapy aide, designing rehabilitation programs and teaching clients pre and post surgery exercise routines.

At this point, Oscar chose his path as a private personal trainer, vowing to keep his focus on ongoing education, effective programming and client safety.
