Success Fitness Studio — Local services in New York

I’ve worked with Santiago at Success Fitness Studio at two crucial times in my life – the first was after the birth of my second child when I suffered a herniated disc (L5-S1). I was being recommended surgery and went through months of chiropractics, pilates, massages and muscular injections with very little change in my pain and mobility. Many times I felt like I was even be getting worse.

Before seeing Santiago, I was afraid to walk, bend over, roll over in bed, or pickup my children. I thought my body would never be the same and, as someone who was used to running, yoga, and just being active on a daily basis, I was honestly quite depressed.

I literally felt a difference after just one session with Santiago. His philosophy is rooted in biomechanics and getting the body to move so it can heal itself. And it just makes sense. He is knowledgeable, patient, and intuitive in his approach. His safe and gentle methods helped me learn to trust my body again, and I’ve never felt as strong or confident in the way I move. I am so grateful to have found him.

I’m now pregnant with my third child. Even though I’ve moved from NY to San Francisco, I’m working with Santiago virtually to address some sciatica related to pelvic shifting happening in the third trimester. After working with him for just a few minutes, I already felt the same confidence coming back, and I’m now equipped with a set of exercises I can do at home to keep my strength and stability in this final stretch.

I have never believed in personal trainers as every session ended with a new injury. I came to point where I hated going to gym, I have been leaving with a fear of injuring myself that refrains me even simple walking. I have learned to live with Shoulder, knees, neck, upper back pain for a long time. No gym, no further injuries. Happy life! However, one day I woke up with an excruciating pain on my collar bone which made me to cry like a baby. I saw 5 docs back then. Steroid pills, shots... all temporary solution. I rejected all of them, instead I called one of my friend who has been suffering with lower back pain and was talking about how good she has been feeling lately. She recommended me Santiago and his team. Omg! After the second visit with very simple movements my collar bone pain was 95% gone. I literally revived from the point where I was saying I am old and totally out of commission for the rest of my life. He has a very unique training technique which makes me to understand my body better. Everything makes so much sense. Most of my body pain is gone. Not a joke! I feel stronger, younger and definitely more energetic. He thought me the importance of moving. His knowledge about human body and exercising is a total new approach to body training. Every session is a pleasure for me. I strongly recommend to people who are looking to stay youthful and healthy in their latter years, not just going to the gym because everybody else...

I was recommended to Santiago by a very good friend and it changed my life. It has been a little over a year when I first visited Santiago, desperately seeking help to recover from a back injury. At the time I could not walk nor sit, I was in physical therapy where I never felt progress and having always worked out for a long time primarily doing Pilates which I realize when you are not in a class one to one how easy it is to injure yourself by not understanding the exercises. From the first day with Santiago I knew he understood my injury and started working with him twice a week .. quickly being able to walk and actually sit. I not only feel better but am stronger than I have ever been. more aware of my body and movements. I feel strong, energetic, and so happy .. I have recommended him to friends who thank me just like i have thanked my friend. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself, so gratifying Santiago and his team are excellent, professionals and treat you like part of their family Thank you I am a new and better ME....
