"I've been training with Chi for about 3 months now and my results have been exceptional. I informed Chi how I wanted my body to look and his training and concerns for my diet have helped me exceed my goal… the most valuable thing I learned is that it is so important to have an active, healthy lifestyle. Training with him has become an important part of my life and being entirely honest with him only helps us move forward. Chi makes sure that his client(s) achieve their goal in the time expected or less. I'm a perfect example of this. I recommend Chi to any person who really has a goal and needs guidance and direction. He will definitely not disappoint you!" Stephanie Dominguez "I have known Chi for over 5 years and I have been training with him for the past 2½ years. Chi is a fabulous trainer and more importantly an outstanding person. He is enthusiastic, diligent and caring. He is very knowledgeable and innovative in his approach to weight training. I have been weight training for over 15 years and he is by far the best motivator I have met. I look forward to training with Chi 5 days a week. In the time we have been together I am more fit and feel healthier and I have Chi to thank for that. I would highly recommend Chi to anyone who wants to improve their health and appearance." Ned Dubilo "I’ve been an athlete all of my life…It wasn’t until I started working out with Chi that I was able to really reshape my body and gain the muscle tone that I’ve always wanted. He took the time to listen…and then perfectly tailor workouts to help me meet those goals. After 8 weeks, I’d lost body fat and gained between a ½ and 1 ½ inches of muscle on my biceps, thighs, and chest/back, the perfect amount for a 5’8”, 135lb female who doesn’t want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I didn’t want to bulk up – I wanted to gain muscular strength, tone, and endurance, but was determined to maintain my femininity. Thanks to Chi, I exceeded my own expectations. His positive attitude and motivating enthusiasm for fitness are truly inspiring. I’m now 7.5 months pregnant and Chi has helped me to adjust my lifting routine to accommodate my growing abdomen and more delicate condition. He’s been extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and motivating, and I’m counting on his help to get me back into shape once the baby is born!" LT Jessica L. Baker "I decided to acquire Chi services because it was time for me to start taking care of my body and get into better shape. I have been training with Chi on and off for about 1year and half. So far I have seen great results for the effort I have put in. I am much leaner and stronger now than I have ever been which was what I wanted to achieve. Chi keeps me motivated and helps me through my workout regime with the extra push for better results. I have been living the healthy life since training with Chi. Not only does he help you in the gym but he helps you outside of the gym with your diet specifications. In turnaround this has made me feel good about myself and satisfied with my body. What makes Chi different from other trainers is that he actually knows what he is talking about and he knows all the right techniques for all the exercises which make all the difference. Also he practices what he preachers himself, which is a big deal from a clients point of view. You can tell that he takes care of himself and stays in good shape. Thus you can confide in him because he knows what he is doing. I would absolutely recommend Chi to anyone. If they want to see results in a matter of months instead of years Chi is the trainer for them. Training with Chi is like training with a friend; there is no tension in a relaxed environment. He is there for you and to help you." Karim Vegas "I met Chi as a top junior tennis player in New England, looking for ways to improve my fitness, strength, and quickness for national play. Initially, Chi worked with me on boxing with the purpose of increasing my quickness and rotational speed and power. After six months, we expanded on this and started dividing our time between boxing, agility and footwork, and some weight training. I have worked with many tennis coaches and what sets Chi apart is his determination and never give up attitude. Since I began working with Chi, I grew about a foot, rose into the top 25 ranking in the country for my age division and defeated top ranked players. I took three to four months off competitive tennis and trained hard with Chi to prevent injury and strengthen and cure my back problems. Since then my back has felt no pain, I feel stronger, and am moving much quicker, enabling me to compete in age divisions beyond my own. My speed has increased dramatically and as we head into the tennis off-season we are beginning more serious weight and strength work in order to play against older and stronger players. My favorite part of working with Chi is the assurance I get, knowing that whichever exercise we’re doing, it’s going to help my tennis game. He gives me the motivation to do my best and what he’s done for me couldn’t have been replicated by any other trainer and I’m ready to keep working!" Noah Bragg "Getting back into the gym after shoulder surgery was a scary concept to me. My livelihood depends on having a body to be a human tripod; limber, steady and strong. I asked around and heard that Chi Bang would be the safest trainer for me. In one month I was back working, stronger then ever and my workout time was cut in half. Chi is the most motivating trainer I ever had. And I have had many trainers, who said I was all over the map; one month I wanted to train for tight rope walking, the next month I needed to learn how to hang upside down, then its surfing two weeks later. Whatever it is I wanted to learn, Chi trains me for it safely. He always had a way of making his intense challenges fun. His assertive caring voice doesn't push, it inspires. That inspiration has been part of my life for over two years. Through physical thick and thin. I believe that Chi's natural instinct toward the physical body comes from a respect for balance. A balance between the body and a person’s individual spirit." Pia Francesca Schachter "I am very dedicated to staying fit and healthy, but a couple of years ago, I had a very serious knee operation which kept me from any serious training for several months. I knew that Chi was very knowledgeable and would be able to devise a make-shift training regimen for me that worked around a very injured knee, while still protecting my back. Chi worked with me to develop a training program that utilized the equipment I had, that protected my back and other joints. Chi’s visits to my house were an important part of my recuperative process because they kept me positive and feeling good about myself. Chi is very accommodating and his training program for me gives me a complete workout in my home that I can easily follow myself. Chi is very patient and will work with me until I am sure that I know exactly how to do an exercise to maximize its benefit and minimize any potential for injury. He is easy to be with and motivates in a subtle, yet very effective way. I would recommend Chi to anyone who is serious about strength training. You won’t find someone more knowledgeable or interested in helping you to achieve your personal fitness goals." Grace Zimmerman "One of the best decisions I have ever made was to commit to a personal training regimen designed by Chi ... I can honestly say that I have never been as focused and energized with respect to improving my personal health and well-being. Chi basically laid everything out to me during our first four introductory weight lifting, cardio, and nutrition planning sessions ... everything was clear and for the first time in my life, I actually had a structured plan of attack for working out in the most efficient and healthy way possible. Getting through those initial four sessions was one of the most physically demanding and spiritually rewarding experiences of my life ... I was sore beyond belief for about a week but once that initial soreness went away, I discovered an inner strength and confidence in myself that I had never felt before working with Chi. Now I look forward to working out at the gym instead of dreading it as I had in the past. A lot of it has to do with Chi's incredibly positive and encouraging manner during out training sessions. Each time we meet, I learn something new and inevitably correct my form so that I am exercising in the most efficient and safe manner. In just two short months, I have already lost 10 pounds and have never felt better in my life both physically and mentally and I'm very grateful to have Chi as a trainer." Craig Mawhinney "I began working with Chi in order to strengthen compensatory muscles in my right lower leg to improve my walking. I have been currently working with Chi since April 2006 and my general level of fitness has improved and my gait has improved and I am able to walk longer without tiring quickly. Now, I am more likely to walk the dog and can am able to partake in walking tours of cities etc…important at my stage of life. Chi is certainly a patient, encouraging and knowledgeable young guy, who certainly knows his muscle groups and how to build them. He is easy going, friendly, sympathetic/empathetic, very likeable, low key, encouraging and good at what he does." Ian Callard "Together, Chi and I dropped 6-percent body fat, which I always considered a completely unattainable goal. Chi’s positive attitude is absolutely the most valuable thing … Chi encourages you NEVER to sell yourself short. He’s an amazing judge of what you can accomplish … Knowing how high his expectations are for you and being complimented on achieving them is very uplifting. Chi focuses on your fitness goals and priority remains on results. I went down two dress sizes and felt fantastic. Feeling great carried over into all areas of my life …I would absolutely recommend Chi because I would love for others to attain their personal best. If Chi has ever had an off day, I would never know it … If I ever felt discouraged; Chi would always remind me of how far I had come, and how much I had accomplished. That is incredibly motivating." Laura J. Wagner "Working out with Chi has been one of the best decisions I have made in years. His wide array of exercises for all muscle groups ensures that my workout doesn't get old, but even more important than that is his upbeat attitude … He pushes me to do that little bit extra I wouldn't have done if I were working out alone. Chi challenges me and strives to get his clients to accomplish more than what they believe is possible. His energy is contagious and I walk away from workouts feeling great and refreshed, no matter how tired I was beforehand." Daisuke Wakabayashi "I started training with Chi after seeing him at the gym for years. I was teaching aerobics classes almost everyday, but I never worked out with weights on a consistent basis. I trained with Chi for a year before I moved to Miami for graduate school. I was in good shape from teaching aerobics, but my goal was to gain strength and definition. Chi certainly helped me achieve those goals. Chi has a great personality and loves to joke around, but when it comes to pushing his clients to their highest potential, he means business! If you are looking for a trainer who makes working out fun and you want to get in the best shape of your life, Chi is your man. I have been working out at the best gym in Miami and I have yet to find a trainer that can compare to Chi. When I am finished with Medical School, I'd love to move back to Boston so Chi can whip me back into shape!" Kelly Scollon "I had heard about Chi from a family member, who couldn't stop going on and on about the results she had seen due to his knowledge of not only personal training, but also physiology and nutrition. In 4 months, I saw specific strength advances overall as well as specific areas that I had targeted as underdeveloped or weak ... Chi’s personal attention and constant supervision is most valuable … Since working with Chi, form and technique have become much more important in my workouts. I also feel more confident working out by myself ... and allows me the flexibility that can avoid not only boredom, but also stagnation. To put it courtly, Chi gave me the tools to let me find where I want to go and how to get there … Chi not only analyses your strengths and weaknesses, but also is able to work around your injuries or limitations … allowing you to surpass said limitations. Chi is one of the most positive and wise people I know. He is able to see to the heart of things. That in and of itself can motivate you greatly. I would recommend Chi to ANYONE without reservation."
