I visited Austin for a month and sought out a trainer during my stay. Just so happens that RPT Fitness was less than a 5-minute walk from where I was staying – and I’m glad it was. In the short amount of time that we had, Rafael came up with a plan for my goals (including a meal plan) and we got to working straight away. In just under a month the results are evident. It’s actually very interesting: pre RPT Fitness my main form of exercise was cardio, cardio and more cardio (also, cardio). I gave little to no attention to using weights and although the number on the scale was satisfying for me to see, overall my physical appearance (think thin but…marshmallow-y) wasn’t where I wanted it to be. After working with Rafael, I can confidently say that I’ll be incorporating resistance training/weights into my exercise. TBH I’m blown away at what a difference relaxing on my cardio only approach and adding in resistance training has down in such a short amount of time. LADIES, don’t be afraid of weights! I came to Rafael with a short time-frame and Rafael hit it out of the ball park. I’m very glad that I had the opportunity to work with him on my personal fitness goals - honestly, my whole concept of how to work out has changed thanks to him.
