LEAF Wellness Studio

Great place to lose some unwanted pounds and certainly the right atmosphere.

the booty kicking possibilities are endless at leaf (so many different equipment to work with)!
just had my first training session with luke on saturday morning and as of sunday morning my arms and back were super sore and as of this morning it hurts to walk up and down the stairs.
i love the variety of exercises here! my training session started with a warm up exercise to make sure every inch of my body has been warmed up, then the rest of the hour consisted of circuit training with 4 exercises:
1. bulgarian split squat (with and without weights)
2. pull-​ups (with elastic band)
3. mountain climber with gliders (with gliding sliding discs)
4. reverse mountain climber with gliders (with gliding sliding discs)
for added bonus i learned how to be a weight for turkish getup as well as how to do a turkish getup myself! the training session also ended with rope exercises to put the cherry on top of the ass whooping.
luke demonstrated every exercise and explained the benefits as well as «dos & don’ts» to make sure the forms are correct and that i am gaining the maximum benefit.
luke’s unparalleled professionalism and knowledge is amazing. you can have a quick q&a session at the end of the workout to pick his brain and ask questions regarding fitness, wellness, and even nutritional related topics.
fully satisfied with my 1 hour at leaf. it’s really a place for anyone, and i mean anyone who is motivated to make change for the better in areas of fitness, wellness, and nutrition :)
hey, no pain, no gain. i’m definitely in pain, and definitely gained.

these guys are amazing! they totally know their stuff. if youve got a goal in mind, they will get you there wether it be get huge or slim down.
i needed to get as big as i could to try and get a part in a movie and they helped me gain 6 pounds in a week! thats right pure muscle baby. i was ripped. unfortunately i ddnt get the part but they got me to where i needed to be.
not only are they great at what they do but they are really great guys. not your every day personal trainer that goes through the motions to get through the day. they truly care about your well being.
5 stars son!

After years of over-​training, I’d burnt out and taken almost a year off from exercise before I was introduced to Luke and the LEAF team 6 months ago. Luke takes his profession seriously. He’s got a great attitude, but he will push you to your limit and beyond.
Since starting at LEAF I’ve not only rediscovered my love for a good hard sweat. I’ve also seen chronic shoulder and wrist injuries all but disappear. I can even do pull-​ups for the first time since college!

This review is solely for the Lifestyle Transformation program. You should really do the program if you are a fitness nut with a passion for an active lifestyle or an athlete with a physically demanding job… because its pricey. Its around $ 2,700 for the program, supplements, and tests, on top of that the lifestyle changes you make on your own on products and food.
Bottom line: if you can plan to pay for this program, do it. If you cant pay for it, figure out a way to save or earn it. then pay for it. You will thank yourself for the rest of your life!
WHAT IT IS: The lifestyle transformation progam is a 3 month long lifestyle changing program. You will optimize your health, appearance, and attitude if you follow through with all of the changes. The program requires alot of commitment to optimize eating the highest quality foods and supplements, using non-​toxic products and cosmetics, and an open mind to deviate away from what you may have originally thought was healthy, clean, etc.
WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF IT:
— Hot body
— Enviable skin
— Balanced hormones
— Getting educated with learning and implementing how certain foods and supplements can sync up your body for happiness. Eliminate health problems you normally would see a conventional doctor for.
— Losing your beer belly/​cow stomach, chicken wings, etc. all that junk in the trunk.
— A happier life, with your energy and sugar levels in check.
— Cravings will vanish. (even for the worst food addicts)
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:
— Meet with your LEAF practitioner biweekly for about 2 hours. They take you through a journey of cleanses, tests, supplement integration specific eating directions, etc. You measure your bodyfat and weight during each of these sessions as well. Dont worry, this entire journey is totally customized to YOU.
— Keep open and honest communication with your practitioner on how you are feeling. What you may perceive to be irrelevant or dumb to bring up might actually be very important and they can give you better results. Its like having a therapist!

All of the LEAF people I have met are respectful, knowledgeable, and pleasant to talk to. Its got a great company image and direction.

You will never have a better training experience and get better results than you will with the team at LEAF Wellness Studio.
I have struggled with my weight my entire life and after years of working with traditional trainers and spending hours on boring cardio machines, LEAF’s Kettlebell Workshop was a revelation. Troy introduced me to a completely different style of working out that was anything but boring and produced results that years of working with other trainers, going to the gym and even competitive sports had never produced. Two hours a week with Troy and one hour on my own a week is what I’m doing right now. Those hours on the elliptical machine have never seemed so silly…
Troy, Tanner and Luke truly focus on the client as a whole. It’s not just your workout. They have literally retaught me how to eat and set achievable goals. There is always incredibly positive energy in the gym and I can’t think of anywhere I would rather spend my Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Long story short– best trainers, best results, best atmosphere.

I have been working with the trainers at LEAF for about a year now, and I can’t think of enough great things to say about LEAF.
Nearly every aspect of your physical person can be addressed and optimized, from movement patterns, to strength and conditioning, to nutrition, and even to supplementation. I have had the opportunity to benefit in all these areas due to the trainers here. I’ve been able to fix problems I’ve had with my back and shoulders due to working a desk job, my posture is great, my strength has gone through the roof, my work capacity is steadily increasing, but most importantly, I feel better and more athletic than I ever have before. I’ve been so vocal about how happy I am with my progress, that I even convinced my mother to join.
It really has been eye opening working with the guys at LEAF and they’ve definitely had an impact on my life. I highly suggest anyone even thinking about making a change to better their lives to give LEAF a chance to make them believers.

LEAF is the best playground with great trainers who not only working you out with the newest techniques of fitness but motivate you to live a healthier life. I really recommend them.

Best trainers I’ve ever met. I dropped the fat % to my lowest since I was 16 (now 36). My blood pressure normalized, and I feel my best. Don’t be fooled by «personal trainers» at your local gym like Golds. Plainly speaking it’s like comparing outdated raisins to oranges.
This is the only holistic, comprehensive personal fitness shop I’ve come around in years.

Leaf fitness trainers are absolutely amazing. They are so knowledgeable about a well rounded fitness and nutrition program. It’s really cool to know the exact right ways to attain weight loss and definition in the least amount of time, but in a healthy way. Really enjoy working out with Tanner and Troy.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Troy Alvarado of LEAF for the past year or so, and I have to say, he’s been a knowledgeable and caring champion through multiple down periods — I’ve had two broken bones, which have really interrupted our training — but he goes with the flow, adapts, and redesigns my program so that I am still getting fitness training, even while recovering. He has a great sense of humor, which really helps me get through these rough patches.
I recommend LEAF as being caring, competent, and passionate professionals in the field of fitness.

«I have worked with various trainers over the last 15 years for athletics and rehab. Along the way I have seen an incredible number of training philosophies, styles, and personalities. Luke Sniewski is by far the best trainer I have worked with.
Four years ago I was in a bad car accident that left me unable to train in any manner. After three and half years of rehab, sports therapists, and various types of doctors, I was finally able to train again. To say the least, it made me extremely particular about the type of training I do and with whom I train with. Luke made my transition back into the gym world seamless. Luke was very personable, clearly explained his reasoning and philosophy behind the various exercises he had me perform. Most importantly he was very cognizant of my injuries and what would affect them.
I would definitely recommend him and LEAF to any of my friends.
