Biography

 

Larry has over 8 years of experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder. In college, Larry studied kinesiology. Larry is also a certified kickboxing instructor and has extensive knowledge about biomechanics applying to the knees, ankles, neck, and lower back.

Larry has been trained in the correction of all major postural distortions. Larry can use a combination of exercise, stretching, and massage to improve your posture and reduce aches and pains. Larry's experience as an amateur light-heavyweight bodybuilder has also made him an expert in weight loss, muscle gain, and shaping specific areas of the body. When Larry competed in 2007 and 2008 he weighed between 190-198 pounds with a bodyfat percentage of 4%(caliper test). Larry also works with athletes to improve power, agility, coordination, speed, strength, and balance. Larry has also worked with children, elderly, and large groups.

 Follow his lead and your path to success will be a straight line.  There is absolutely NO REASON TO FEEL CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED any longer.  Larry's program will be both informative and disciplinary.  There are no if's and's or but's, you WILL emerge from your training skilled and confident. 

    Larry has been weight training since the age of eleven.  Over time, a  hobby evolved into a passion.  Larry considers himself very lucky to be working doing what he loves.  Not only has he enriched the lives of his individual clientele,  Larry spent two and a half years managing and mentoring neophyte trainers as a PT Director for a global fitness chain.

Larry's training studio is in Tarzana on Ventura Boulevard and is convenient to all of the West Valley.

Testimonials:

Hey Jason,
Just wanted to take a few minutes to say what an amazing trainer Larry has been. He has an incredible knowledge of exercises, stretches and diet, and has a very clear and easily understood manner in communicating them. His attention to correct and proper form was particularly strong, and I know I carry that over when I exercise on my own. I feel I have made tremendous progress since I have started with him, and I would ,and do, highly recommend him to everyone I meet that is looking for a trainer.
Thanks to you and to Larry! --------Doug Wolf

     
   I have rheumatoid arthritis and Larry has been able to push me without aggravating my condition.  He has been truly wonderful.-------Karen Antonelli
 
    Larry has been excellent at retraining my muscles groups to work properly and has reduced my low back and shoulder pain.  Larry is great at working
    on my form and getting great functional as well as visual results.---------------Sandy Chandler
 

    Larry has made me enjoy exercising.  He made me work hard and I appreciate the results.  He is the best trainer I ever had.------------Liza Chandra

Client testimonials

Sophia before and now - time: 4 weeks

For years I have used the Stairmaster which has allowed me to eat basically what I want and not gain weight.  Yet, as a mother of two and closing in on my 44th birthday, I noticed that my body had lost much of its tone. So, as a special gift to myself, I decided to jumpstart my body by losing a little weight while firming it up, yet I knew I needed help.  Through a Google search I found Jason.  After our first meeting, I felt I could put my health and fitness goals into his hands, his enthusiasm and professionalism had me sold.  He put me on a rigorous program that included nutrition, cardio and weights. He explained how all three are essential ingredients in achieving a higher and healthier state of fitness.

Because weight training is one important part of this program, he put me in touch with an excellent trainer, Debby McKnight, who works out of a gym closer to my home.   She has a background in professional bodybuilding.  She’s extremely knowledgeable and dedicated.  She is also hands on which I truly appreciated. She made sure I was using proper body form while working out, not only to avoid injury, but to also give the targeted muscles the best workout possible.

Their support and expertise was invaluable in helping me not only achieve my short term goals but also create healthy lifestyle changes that will benefit me for the rest of my life.  Thanks you two!    Sophia

BEFORE NOW BEFORE NOW

8 weeks

Over the years, I've tried a lot of different activities in the name of health and challenging myself (including becoming a vegan for 2 years and running a marathon), but I secretly always hoped it would give me that cover of Runners World physique.  It didn't!  Eventually, I had accepted that no matter how hard I worked, my body was naturally just oddly shaped and that I was fit and that's just good enough considering I was still in much better shape than most of the people I knew.

I honestly was blown away by the results that I saw in just the first 3 weeks of training with Larry!  In addition to helping me get rid of my butt, Larry has been helping me correct posture issues that I wasn't even aware of eliminating knee pain I had occasionally gotten from running for the past 4 years. 

He has a very in-depth knowledge of kinesiology and nutrition and has explained away many of the myths from those bizarre fad diets and exercise routines we try to ignore but that somehow get into our heads anyway.  Probably the most valuable thing I've learned from Larry and Jason is that staying in great shape isn't nearly as time consuming as I had imagined it would be.  I only wish I'd known this 10 years ago when I was working so hard for half of the results.  Julie

I've trained with Larry for over 3 years and initially my goal was to lose 20 lbs and tone certain areas of my body. Larry made that challenge fun and attainable. But the true testament to Larry's skills is teaching me how to keep it off and still be able to enjoy my life. Anybody can lose weight; the challenge is keeping it off. I've been able to keep the
20 lbs off ever since and continue to train with Larry to stay healthy and fit. Larry has taught me how to eat properly so that I can stay at my goal weight while still enjoying the finer things in life (that would be ice cream).

Larry takes that dreaded workout and turns it into an eagerly anticipated experience. He mixes up each session keeping it exciting yet challenging. He knows how to push you both mentally and physically to achieve maximum results and his customized program has included an easily adaptable nutrition plan, full body resistance routine and flexible cardio sessions. All I can say is results, results, results.... Thanks Larry!

I have worked with a number of trainers over the years so I have a good basis for comparison.  I was happy with my other trainers at the time but Larry has proven to be the best.  He has an excellent knowledge of physiology, and a keen awareness of how each exercise looks when done properly.  He explains each exercise in simple terms that I understand easily.  He is able to tell me exactly where I should feel each exercise, allowing me to know whether I’m doing it correctly.  His feedback gives each of my work-outs optimum efficiency.  I have obtained incredible results, and learned a lot in a short time.  Larry is very professional.  I never feel intimidated or embarrassed even if I can’t do something right away.  He always puts me at ease, interjecting encouragement and humor.  He makes the work-outs as much fun as they are effective.  Will

 


 

I am over 50 and had never worked with a personal trainer before coming to Larry.  I have only been working with him for a few months but am very happy with the results so far and plan to continue working with him.  Larry is extremely knowledgeable.  He is also kind, caring and patient.  I appreciate his thoughtfulness and creativity in designing exercises for me that accommodate my specific workout goals and physical limitations.  He makes working out fun and challenging without being intimidating.
