Stevi
- It has been my pleasure to work with Masinde Bakanya as my personal trainer for several months. He always designs a workout session that meets my needs and helps me get stronger. His coaching is perfect: he celebrates me when I’m doing something well and nudges me when my form isn’t quite what it should be. Even though I leave our sessions tired, I also feel accomplished, knowing that I’m getting stronger each time we meet. On top of everything else, he makes me laugh and makes me want to come back again. I highly recommend him!
Alex
- Working with Masinde has been one of the best decisions I have made towards reaching my health goals. He has created a workout plan that meets my immediate goals and translates well across my physical activities. I really appreciate that he changes my workouts depending on what I want to focus on outside of just building strength. My ability to ski longer and harder has improved with his training and I am looking forward to the impacts in my golf game! If you want someone who is fun, easy to work with, and open to feedback Masinde should be your go to option!
Honey
- I’ve worked with Masinde Bakanya as my personal fitness trainer for about nine months, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Despite dealing with injuries incurred outside the gym, I’ve made steady and encouraging gains in strength. Masinde is always attentive and responsive—he carefully adjusts workouts to avoid aggravating injuries while still keeping me progressing.
He brings creativity to every session, regularly varying exercises to keep things interesting and engaging. I appreciate how clearly he explains which muscle groups we’re targeting, and it’s evident he has a strong foundation in exercise physiology.
Masinde has also been wonderfully flexible in scheduling sessions for our small group of senior women, and his rates are both reasonable and fair. Best of all, working with him is genuinely fun—I look forward to our twice-weekly sessions.
