For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals through a holistic lifestyle approach that encompasses strength training, recovery, stress management, and nutrition coaching.

Having experienced the rigorous demands of competitive sports firsthand, I understand the importance of a balanced and sustainable fitness regimen. My training philosophy is built on the principles of accountability and consistency, ensuring that my clients not only meet their targets but also develop habits that promote long-term health and well-being.

Client Testimonials

I can’t say enough great things about u and especially my coach, Boris. The gym experience has been great – everyone is welcoming and non-judgmental. Boris and I have connected and I feel like he approaches his engagement with me holistically – concerned about my overall wellbeing and things that affect physical outcomes, like stress and sleep. Best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time and I regret not doing it sooner ” -Suzanne D.

Boris has over the years designed tailored sessions to not just address the immediate knee issue but a whole-of-body approach. Boris appropriately adapted our sessions post-surgery to “build back better” and to complement and supplement the work I do in my physio-therapy. Three months after the accident and surgery I was able to do a 5-day cycling trip through the mountains of northern New Mexico. Much of my fast recovery I give to the work Boris and I did before the accident.

The last year plus of training with Boris has been life changing. He has worked with me one on one, helping me with strength training and working on getting stronger. He is very good and building a fitness program that worked for me and pushing me to try things I had not done before. His efforts have made me more confident with strength training, improved my fitness level as well as help me with an overall healthy lifestyle. I am very grateful to have met Boris and will hope to continue training with him for some time to come.

I have had the good fortune of working with Boris Novillo for the past few months. Boris has demonstrated to me over and over again his professionalism and enthusiasm for his job. I am an overweight 62-year-old woman who has had both hips and knees replaced. He has always approached my training from a position of safety first. This, however, does not mean he is easy!!!! Boris continually checks my form and exercise set up to make sure I am doing the exercise safely but effectively.
