I had been over weight, gaining gradually but steadily, for about fifteen years. My goal was to get lighter and fit in order to run the Los Angeles Marathon. He worked with me twice a week. I had little endurance or strength when we started. but he was persistent, but very patient and inspiring. Not only did he develop an excellent exercise program for me that was doable and yielded results, he also gave me valuable nutritional information and products. Perhaps most importantly, Leon offered the mental and spiritual support that kept me diligent. I dropped fifty pounds and improved my strength and stamina tremendously, both physically and mentally. I have gone from a (sometimes snug) size twelve, to a comfortable size six. I feel a thousand times better, and from what my friends, family and co-workers tell me constantly, I look fabulous. I am still working with him, and I hope to lose ten to twenty more pounds, but based on the results I have experienced thus far, I have no doubt I will reach that goal. He has given me tools for maintaining lifelong health and fitness, and that is truly a priceless gift. I am eternally grateful.
