Men
I work with a number of men and most start with the goal to lose weight. However, after training and losing weight, each has found at least one other benefit.
- Increases strength
- Increases muscle mass
- Increases energy
- Increases endurance
- Decreases back pain
- Decreases stress
- Improves posture
- Increases confidence
- Improves sleep
- Provides a good example for children
- Provides opportunity with children like tennis, baseball, biking, hiking…
- Decreases injuries
- Compliments from family, friends and co-workers
Men typically want a challenging workout, and believe me when I say I create a tough, challenging program. But let one of my clients tell you.
"I used to have an ex-professional football player trainer. But Tiger trains me far hard than I ever trained with him." Ben, age 46, President.

Male Testimonials
Ben: Male, age 46
Title: President and COO of Sega Entertainment International, Inc., Founder of Crazy CrepesTM and Founder of Crazy Bubble TeaTM
Goals: Lose weight
Tiger and I started working together 10 months ago. I was getting old and fat. I knew unless I did something about it, I would get older and fatter. But I don't have the time or the motivation to go to a crowded gym on my own.
When I first met Tiger, I knew it was a good fit. She's personable, approachable, and totally committed to making workouts work for me. Her flexible hours made it easy to fit workouts into my crazy schedule. We started slowly with exercise that strengthened muscles I would need later. Over the first 4 months, I lost 10 pounds, and dropped from a size 40 waist to a size 36. She never reimbursed me for the new clothes though.
I had lower back pain every day, and by the fifth month of working out with Tiger, my back pain was gone! I started playing softball with people half my age and playing tennis with my teenage son, totally pain free, and with agility I hadn't had in years.
Now, I'm working on getting to a target weight in less than 45 days from now. Tiger has promised me a trip to Cancun if we don't make it. So I'm loading up on ice cream. But she's loading up on cardio, so I will probably have to spend my spring break here.
I'm the kind of person who won't do the exercise on my own. But I also don't want to let others down. Having Tiger around makes me want to do the workout, because she's the kind of person you don't want to let down.
Sayandro: Male, age 48
Title: Director of Technology in packaging industry
Goals: Get fit, decrease back pain, improve tennis game
I'm a new man with more muscle, a smaller waist, a lot less back pain.
The last time I felt so fit was in college when I was playing tennis 5 days a week.
But let me put this into context. I'm 48 years old and have played tennis all my life though I could tell I was no longer as fit by the time I hit 40. Gravity took hold and playing tennis was not enough any more. This was complicated by the fact that my job requires me to travel a lot. I typically log 100,000 miles a year, traveling 3 weeks a month. Work consists of sitting in a plane, sitting in a car and sitting in meetings. When I'm not traveling I'm sitting at a computer in the office.
At the time I met Tiger, she was working in a high-end gym with 12 other trainers. I watched each trainer and decided I liked her fun personality. Once I started working with her I respected her expertise and competence in showing me how to understand my body and posture. We sat down and she listened to my background and developed a personalized program for my body:
Working in the gym together, I learned what my body needs. By working out only twice a week in the gym (20 minutes cardio and the remainder in the weight room) I lost 2 inches in my waist, gained muscle and strength, and my back pain is as good as gone. People tell me I look good and I feel great.
Dr. Richard Lam and his Father Mr. Lam: Male, age 81, Parkinson's Disease
Title: Prostate Oncology Specialists, INC.
Goals: Increase strength, maintain mobility and coordination
I contacted Tiger when my father, Mr. Lam, was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I wanted to make sure he remained as strong as possible. It has been a stressful situation, but Tiger has made it easier. She has taken a personal interest in my father above and beyond a personal trainer to the point that I consider her part of the family.
Last year was a very challenging year for my father. It was one step forward and two steps back. Dad had two strokes and a pacemaker put in. After the strokes my father was not strong enough for a full hour of training. That made no difference to Tiger. She made an exception for my father. She rearranged her schedule to visit a half hour 5 days a week, often making a special trip into town just to see my father for. She has offered to take my father to doctors' appointments and always calls me when dad had a really good day or a day worthy of concern.
My family is thankful to have an additional level of health care for my father. I know I can call upon her for anything, and that my father is in good hands.
Doug: Male, age 49
Title: Founder of a health care facility chain
Goals: Lose weight, decrease back pain
"Instead of using a 'canned' program, Tiger targets unusual suspects, like rotator cuff exercises. My customized program gave me to immediate and safe improvements. After only a week I could feel a substantial difference in my posture and a new balance in my life."
