Santiago McCarthy it THE best trainer ever. He knows how to gently motivate, understands what you need and makes work outs ( which I usually hate with a passion) so enjoyable that you keep coming back for more. Santiago is hugely knowledgeable in all things body, mind, movement and strength and a gently giant in his field. thank you for making me stronger every day.

I’ve worked with Santiago at Success Fitness Studio at two crucial times in my life – the first was after the birth of my second child when I suffered a herniated disc (L5-S1). I was being recommended surgery and went through months of chiropractics, pilates, massages and muscular injections with very little change in my pain and mobility. Many times I felt like I was even be getting worse. Before seeing Santiago, I was afraid to walk, bend over, roll over in bed, or pickup my children. I thought my body would never be the same and, as someone who was used to running, yoga, and just being active on a daily basis, I was honestly quite depressed. I literally felt a difference after just one session with Santiago. His philosophy is rooted in biomechanics and getting the body to move so it can heal itself. And it just makes sense. He is knowledgeable, patient, and intuitive in his approach. His safe and gentle methods helped me learn to trust my body again, and I’ve never felt as strong or confident in the way I move. I am so grateful to have found him. I’m now pregnant with my third child. Even though I’ve moved from NY to San Francisco, I’m working with Santiago virtually to address some sciatica related to pelvic shifting happening in the third trimester. After working with him for just a few minutes, I already felt the same confidence coming back, and I’m now equipped with a set of exercises I can do at home to keep my strength and stability in this final stretch. If you are in pain, considering surgery or just at your wits end for finding help, do not hesitate to contact Success Fitness Studio today. You will be so glad you did.
