I Had to Learn to Walk Again.
Now I Help Others Build Their Strength.
Meet Manu · NASM-Certified Personal Trainer
In 2019, I awoke from a week-long coma, unable to move most of my body. After nearly a year in the hospital, rebuilding my strength meant starting with the basics, including learning how to walk again.
That experience shapes how I coach today: with patience, practical guidance, and respect for where you’re starting. Whether you’re new to training or finding your way back, we’ll work toward strength, confidence, and habits you can build on.

Client Experiences
“Manu has been a pleasure to work with. He’s consistently engaged and prompt in his communication, and takes the time to explain exercise technique and the science behind his thoughtfully designed programs. It’s been a great experience so far, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him toward my goals.”
“When I first started lifting, Manu was the one who really taught me how to train the right way. He took the time to patiently break down proper form, range of motion, and pacing for my sets, while steering me away from unnecessary supplements, crash diets and overhyped fitness hacks the industry tends to push. His genuine care and guidance gave me a solid foundation, and I've made incredible progress just by applying what he taught me. If you want a knowledgeable coach who actually cares about your results, Manu is your guy.”
“Manu has taught me so much and pushed me to be better in ways I never thought I could. I really appreciate the time, effort, and support he’s given me. His belief in me and constant encouragement have helped me grow both physically and mentally. He’s a great trainer, and I’m grateful to be learning from him.”
