“I have recently started training with Masaya having watched how thoughtfully he trained other people in the gym. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and spent time with me first to understand my aims and any health issues. I wanted a challenge to my regular routine and he certainly provides that. But it is done in a way that doesn't put pressure on you. I really value his calm and supportive approach and how he encourages me to challenge myself and vary my routine using exercises and machines I haven't used before or avoided. He is very patient, friendly and helpful. Though our sessions have been challenging as I asked they are also enjoyable and I feel better for his help and guidance after each session.”

“I met Masaya at a gym I had recently joined after five years of no gym and where I had no intention of having a personal trainer. Having met him I soon changed my mind. I am so pleased to have started working with him. He provides a great deal of practical help and insight with kindness and patience. I am 66 years old and feel as though I am starting from scratch. I could not be doing it with a better or more helpful trainer.”

“It's a pleasure working with Masaya because he is very thoughtful and calm in his approach. Working with him is challenging and he pushes you to improve but he does so in a very gentle and non-pressurising way, which feels relaxing as well as constructive. He is clearly competent and highly knowledgeable and is very sensitive to the impact of injuries and being careful to ensure that you protect your body. I look forward to our sessions every time.”

“I’ve been training with Masaya for a while now, and I can honestly say he’s been a game-changer for my confidence and fitness. From day one, he’s been both motivating and conscientious — the perfect mix of pushing me beyond my comfort zone while making sure form and safety are always on point.
Most of our sessions have been built around free weights, and the results speak for themselves: I’m noticeably stronger, more confident with my lifts, and hitting goals I didn’t think were possible when I started. Masaya doesn’t just hand you a generic program — he pays attention, adapts on the fly, and knows exactly when you can give more (even when you don’t think you can!).
If you want a trainer who will challenge you, keep you accountable, and actually get you stronger, I couldn’t recommend Masaya enough. He’s the real deal.”
