I wanted to share this to you during his 8th grade promotion ceremony. The entire time, he was smiling and laughing—even on stage! He truly emulated confidence and pride in his accomplishments. I want to say thank you because I know that your guidance and program have helped build him into the young man he is today. I thank God for your program and your ministry, and that we found you when we did. Last year, he faced many challenges with self-confidence, bullying, and school. This year, he ended with good grades, new friendships, and positive connections with his teachers. I am excited to see him growing and building on everything he has accomplished. Thank you for everything that you do.
Marcos has been working with my son for about 3 months, 2–3 times per week. Originally, we were hoping to find a trainer to help get our son out of the house and off the screen, as well as teach him some healthy habits he could take with him as he grows up. Marcos always has a positive attitude and he checks up on our son throughout the week. He provides us with ideas of what we can do to help and gives us updates on our son’s progress. After 3 months, our son looks leaner and stronger, he has gained some confidence, and he has become more aware and careful about his nutrition. He has a more positive view of himself and is more outgoing in his life. He expresses a real appreciation for Marcos and is excited about going to his training. I would recommend Marcos to anyone looking for a truly positive influence on their child, both physically and mentally, and to teach them to love and trust themselves and to be the best version of who they are.
In just a few months, the change has honestly blown me away. My son went from being shy, nervous, and constantly doubting himself... to signing up for sports on his own, walking into places confidently, and actually feeling proud of who he is becoming. Even at home, his attitude and communication are improving because Coach Marcos talks with him one-on-one and reinforces what we’re working on as a family.
