What’s the Word
"Okinyi's a terrific trainer -- friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and goal-oriented. He listens to his clients and creates an exercise program that is tailored to each customer. After 4+ years of training, I can happily report that my aging body is more flexible, fit and stronger. No matter how difficult it may be to get to the gym, Okinyi's varied training activities and tools keep me motivated during our workouts (and subsequent cardio sessions) and energized during the day. Training has improved my overall health and will continue to be my Rx for a healthy life."

" I like to be pushed and challenged while I exercise, and training with Okinyi is just what I expected...even more. There are times that I just want to throw the towel and quit, but when I finish it feels just too good, I feel stronger and confident. It's like I am ready to compete. I have improved a lot with my push-ups, not my favorites; and his combinations of exercises have worked great on me."

"Being a professional certified fitness instructor for more than 15 years, I have found that my personal training experience with Okinyi to be very enlightening. Allowing me to grow and learn new ways of challenging myself and my class participants with out risk or injury. As a female at midlife (literally) this is a very valuable part of the training experience.
Additionally, my gym partner and I have become the best of friends through our partner training with Okinyi, we are competitive and driven to improve and best ourselves. Okinyi is a master at providing us with a tandem training program which makes us smile and laugh and work harder than we ever would with out him there to motivate and challenge us!"

"Everyone can benefit from one-on-one training. Professional athletes have known this for years. Okinyi Ayungo understands the importance of
progressive training at safe but challenging levels based on the needs of
the individual client. His workouts are designed to develop entire body,
rather than a "body builder" physique, using strength and flexibility
techniques that make exercise interesting and fun."

"I came to Okinyi as a fairly seasoned gym rat. My passion is core training and I was looking for someone who would be willing to work 'outside the box' as far as training me. Okinyi fills that role perfectly; he brings both book knowledge and years of experience to the table. Even though Okinyi's knowledge is vastly greater than mine, he has been incredibly receptive and respectful of what I have to bring to the table as well! He has incorporated my love of core work into effective full-body workouts! I always look forward to my workouts with Okinyi- there is a genuine warmth and caring about Okinyi that make me know that my time and money have been well spent!!!"
-Darcy H.
"Okinyi is always a true professional! His workouts are always creative and dynamic, your body never has time to anticipate movements, which keeps the workouts (and minds!) fresh. He assesses each client on a workout-to-workout basis so that he is fully aware of any limitations and/or injuries. Even though I have always been extremely fit, after having trained with Okinyi, I can see a visible change in my physique - leaner and more toned! (What every girl wants!) And boy - I am stronger!!"
"Being a physician, I know the importance of exercise and eating. For me, Okinyi takes me to the next level. I have know him for 7 years and he has been training me for almost 2 years. He is very knowledgeable in human physiology and kinesiology. My training sessions are different each week and they are challenging. It is money well spent."
-Marc L.
"We all avoid the workout routines that are the most difficult for us and that we need the most. Okinyi will fit those moves into his training with great finesse. No amount of complaining will get you out of doing them, and you stop complaining as soon as you see the results!!!"
-Shirin
"I am a better person and mother because of exercise since I feel better about myself and I can relieve the everyday stresses.
Okinyi makes the workouts fun and exciting. He always challenges you."

"Okinyi has both patience and persistence, which is a perfect
combination for a personal trainer. - He takes the time to explain
everything (sometimes more than once) and listens patiently to my
descriptions of my latest aches and pains. But - he is persistent in
guiding me to the stretches and exercises I need. My balance problem
gets a lot of his attention, and I believe it's improving through his
steady guidance. Without his help, it would probably be easy for me
to stop going to he gym - but fortunately that's not going to happen!"

I believe that my training with Okinyi actually gave me the confidence to move forward in my professional career outside the fitness world. I began a new full time position in software sales which is very physically demanding (i.e. 12-14 hours on my feet and a great deal of travel by plane and automobile). I don’t believe that I would have the stamina and flexibility not to mention strength to function in this position which I have now held for two years without Okinyi helping me to be “functionally fit”.
