Testimonial
Dr. Berio is a real talent!  I can't think of a better training experience.

He's completely knowledgeable about the human body,
how it works and what's required to enhance strength, endurance, and flexibility.

He is playful, charming and totally engaging. 

He understands service and the psychology of making you feel at home in his "office."

I really enjoy going to training ... it gives me great comfort to know that I am working with the best in the business.

Testimonial
I am a 41 year old physician with a wife and 2 young kids.  

My life is extremely hectic but I take my health very seriously.

For the last 15 years I have been disciplined with respect to weight training and cardiovascular conditioning logging about 20-25 miles per week. 

About a year ago, I began working with Carlos with the stated goals of increasing the intensity of my weight training sessions, improving core strength and developing explosiveness.   Early on, our workout sessions were relatively easy but became progressively more difficult. 

Our sessions are now extremely intense and he has pushed me to accomplish more
than what I thought was possible. 

Carlos also has a unique way of motivating this client to put forth maximum effort at each session. 

To date, I have met all of my personal goals and added 12 pounds of lean
muscle while maintaining a very low body fat percentage.  I am stronger now than ever but I am most noticeably more fit over the past year.  

I feel great and have a sense of personal accomplishment.   I attribute all of my current gains to training with Carlos and his commitment to extremely intense workouts and periodic assessments of my progress.  We have also worked on incorporating  many new and advanced exercises into my solo workouts. 

Ultimately, I am sure the decision to train with Carlos and SPARK will be one of the most important health maintenance decisions I will ever make.

I'm blessed and fortunate to be able to see a personal trainer on a regular basis. 
Now ask me, "Do I look forward to seeing Carlos regularly?" 

NO!! 

I've played competitive sports all my life and have never had more vigorous training sessions.  Though I've been seeing Carlos only for a short time I already feel stronger and can't wait to continue my progress. 
Carlos presents me with new and interesting workouts on a weekly basis to give me that intense, thorough, full-body workout you could never do yourself. 

I would definitely recommend Carlos… if you can handle it!

Working with Dr. Berio has been a life changing experience for me.

I was never one that felt comfortable in a gym atmosphere.  I have learned so much
about myself and my capabilities. 

I've seen results!  I'm stronger, more energized, more flexible and more comfortable! 
Once I've mastered a new skill, he keeps me on my toes with another technique.  Training with Carlos at SPARK has been one of the best things I've done for my health. 

I'd recommend him to anyone!

Testimonial
Carlos has transformed my body and, consequentially, my life.
I came to Carlos as a 160 lb weakling (looking to gain some real muscle mass) and have emerged at a highly respectable 188lbs and growing.  One cannot put a price on the newfound confidence, health, and vividness of experience that extend from achieving one's dream body.
Furthermore, Carlos has an energizing personality that makes exercise a pleasant and invigorating experience.

Carlos is so passionate, educated, and articulate about fitness methods that he has inspired me to pursue my own credentials as a personal fitness trainer.  However, being a certified personal fitness trainer has only reinforced my respect for Carlos' massive and nuanced understanding of fitness and exercise. 

Carlos and the other trainers at SPARK know so much more than the trainers you will find in any Bally's or Gold's gym.  You never know what you're going to get at those places, so please take a hard look at these testimonials and at Carlos' formal education credentials before you decide on whom to consult for your fitness goals.

Carlos is a wonderful trainer!

His knowledge of the human body is astounding!  Not only does he give great information, but his motivational techniques are equal to his professional skills. 

With each training session, I always learn something new and leave the session pleased
that I have spent my time and money wisely.  

I have referred several friends to Carlos and other SPARK trainers and they are equally as pleased.

Testimonial
I have been very pleased with Carlos' training. 

Carlos gears workouts to my goals and abilities, and uses a variety of equipment and exercises.  We never do the same workout twice!

He is an excellent motivator, friendly and encouraging, and as a result, I do much more
(quantity and quality) than I could on my own.

He is extremely knowledgeable about human physiology and the effects of exercise, which enables him to create workouts which are demanding, but do not lead to injury.  

I highly recommend Carlos!

Carlos has literally transformed my body!

I lost body fat, got stronger, and my self-confidence has increased exponentially! 

Carlos' high energy, professionalism and knowledge sets him above and beyond everyone else in the field.  He loves what he does and cares about his clients.  

He is truly inspiring!

Testimonial
I have worked with probably a dozen personal trainers and physical therapists in my life.  Most were very good, but Carlos has consistently demonstrated a greater breadth of knowledge and a greater level of dedication than all the rest.

Carlos not only knows the machines; he also knows a myriad of techniques and
exercises to help you achieve your goals.

When I began working with Carlos in 2003, my goal was to strengthen my legs in preparation for ski season.

Through Carlos' guidance I achieved that goal and many others. 

Carlos is a true fitness guru who believes the overall health of the body is of paramount importance.  It is not just a job with Carlos, it is a passion. 

I offer myself as evidence.  I am 47 years old and in the best physical condition of my life and my work with Carlos is the reason why.
