Owner, Lead Teacher & Teacher Trainer
“I believe that hard work and dedication to your training pays off. My greatest strength as a trainer is I have a no-nonsense approach and thrive with clients that are ready to change their life and fitness. I tend to train the clients on the ”ends of the bell curve’, like someone coming back from major injury or inactive lifestyle, or a high intermediate to advanced client looking to fine tune their training.”
Ray is a proud 3rd generation San Franciscan with firmly embedded roots in the local community and academia. Ray is also a 3rd generation Classical Pilates Teacher who studied with Dorothee Van Wander under her renown M.A.T. Teacher Training program.
