QUANTUM STRENGTH METHOD

"Being a mom of 2, I hardly have the time or energy to hit the gym. I just knew something had to change. Feeling strong again was just what I needed to function effectively.

I’ve been fit for most of my life, but after the 2nd baby, I felt like working out was a waste of the time that I already don’t have. I decided to make and take the time to train with Alvaro, 3 times a week. Every session is an hour for me to dedicate efforts in rebuilding myself STRONG again.

Coach Membreno is an amazing trainer. He has a genuine passion for overall health and fitness. His fitness & nutrition knowledge, energy and dedication shows up to every session. 

In 6 months, we have experienced so many GAINZ, its empowering! Through certain core exercises, he has managed to correct my spinal alignment which has really decreased my lower body pains significantly. He is so patient and really knows how to work around weak muscles groups which really helps limit the discouragement part of it all. 

I look forward to where we will go together on my fitness journey but today I’m a confident and strong individual all because of his training.

Thank you for helping me find my strong, healthy and happy ME again. Its always fun to train, never the same workouts and I love that. His determination and investment keeps me driving to be the best version of myself."

"I first started training with Alvaro in 2015 and it changed my life. 

Having moved into my forties my metabolism was slowing down, I was beginning to gain weight and I was experiencing more aches and pains. I’d been working out on my own for a little over a year but it wasn’t making the difference I’d been hoping for, so I decided to try out a trainer – and I found myself a great one!

​

Alvaro immediately identified muscles in my body that weren’t working properly and others that we over compensating. Within a few weeks he helped me re-engage and strengthen the muscles that weren’t firing properly. The pains that I’d been experiencing disappeared and the strength and conditioning of my body started improving quickly.

​

I have never had a physiotherapist or massage therapist who understand the workings of the human body as well as Alvaro does.I’ve struggled with a few health issues over the past few years and Alvaro has been there through it all, adapting my workouts to address my needs and keep me going. I am so much healthier and fit because of him.

​

He also happens to be one of the kindest people I have ever known."

"I was referred to Alvaro by a friend as I was looking to tackle some problem areas on my body. I worked with Alvaro for five months and not only was I able to achieve my target I learnt to improve my functional mobility, use gym equipment effectively and correct my posture. Thank you Alvaro for tailoring training to suit my needs but pushing me towards better Goals as well!"

"I would not hesitate to recommend Alvaro as a coach and personal trainerAlvaro’s energy, enthusiasm and excitement for his clients makes him an Inspirational Coach. Alvaro continues to learn and grow and his clients are the beneficiary of that knowledge.
He sincerely wants the best for his clients and strives to give them his best every session."

"I have struggled with my weight and activity levels my whole life (my natural state is relaxing on the couch) and about 7 years ago I decided to try personal training. My first trainer got into my head and made eating and exercise click and I saw results, which was great. But he switched gyms and I bounced around other trainers on and off for 5 years, but never feeling that same motivation and ended up quitting them all and gaining back the weight. I asked myself, was it me?  Well, yes it was!  But this past year I started training with Alvaro and I am feeling motivated once again AND seeing great results.

Despite his age, Alvaro is an old soul who really knows how to get to the root of issues, both physically and mentally. His maturity and drive make him not only a focused and effective trainer, but a pleasure to be around. He has thoughtfully tailored a program that exactly fits my goals and my lifestyle; I am not an athletic person and never will be and Alvaro completely understands that. He pushes when necessary and instinctively knows when to hold back. For example, I have had a back issue in the past month and Alvaro perfectly adapted our workouts to ensure my back was safe but still getting a great workout in.

His motivation and positive but realistic attitude is exactly what I need in a trainer. I'm lucky to have found him and can't wait to reach more of my goals with him leading the way.  Thank you Alvaro!"

"I was a competitive gymnast growing up driven by a natural passion that I had for the sport. After retiring I immediately embraced a very unhealthy and active social life to make up for the time spent at the gym. It was fun but then 13 years went by and I became very lethargic and out of shape. Trying to get back into shape, I tried fad home workout videos, running, yoga and other random activities but never saw any results. I was looking for something that would excite me when I joined GoodLife Fitness. I was intimidated by going to the gym and the idea of working out, which I feared would be more like work than fun. I gave it a go and tried my first private training session with Alvaro Cuadra.

​

It became immediately apparent that he is very passionate about his work and the sport. Learning from someone who is passionate makes you passionate. So I signed up! I thrive in a one on one type setting and enjoy making corrections to perfect form. Alvaro works very hard to critique my posture and comes up with exercises to immediately correct form, so that every workout is custom and targets specific muscles that I didn't even know I had. After working with him for about a month I began to see results on a weekly basis. His energy and enthusiasm for seeing improvements is a huge motivator. Every workout he guides me through the postures to ensure that I am doing them properly and getting more out of my workout.

My initial goal when starting the custom training program was to improve my figure. To my surprise, I found passion in a new sport which I learnt is key to turning the end result of working out into a by- product of having fun."

" I have had the pleasure of watching Alvaro grow into his career as the passionate coach/personal trainer that he now is. I have never met such a hard working, focused young man in all of my years of managing a fitness club and am beyond proud of his accomplishments. Watching Alvaro use his contagious personality and use it to educate each and every member at the gym, client or not, is extremely rare and anyone that works with him is in for a very special experience!"
