I’ve been working for 4+ years with Rivak.  He’s been a huge motivator and he’s helped me lose weight, eat better and get fit.  He’s customized a program for me and that’s probably the most important thing.  You see, I travel almost weekly and he’s helped me find a way to “fit in” a workout program.  He keeps me accountable, even when I’m not seeing him every single day.  If you’re serious about getting into shape, call Somagenesis.  If you aren’t sure, stay on the couch and buy some bigger jeans.

In the past four years of working with Rivak I have found a man more dedicated to me than I was to myself!  He will keep you accountable to what you say you want but can’t seem to achieve on your own. With the variety of workouts and nutritional advice I am physically and mentally stronger. I am 50 and feel 30!

He is tough and into getting you results. If you are serious about yourself he is the Man!

Been working with Rivak for almost 2 years. He is persistent man and a dedicated professional that keeps me on track….EVEN DURING the toughest of times. He always follows up on my commitments I make to him and holds me accountable….Although I would like to punch him the mouth sometimes, I don’t know what I would do (or what I would look like) with him. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.

Working with Rivak as my personal fitness trainer has been the best personal health decision I have made in decades. He developed a tailored program for me based on my health goals and physical condition (including a detailed review of lab results from my last physical) and keeps me focused on actions required to meet my health and fitness goals. In one year I lost 6 inches from my waist and saw huge strength and cardio/endurance gains. Reliable, knowledgeable, focused and enthusiastic, he’s an amazing personal trainer.

Rivak’s works out are outstanding. He always encourages us to challenge ourselves and make us go one step further. All of us have improved a lot since we started working out with him. Excellent professional and person!

Rivak is an outstanding trainer and a great person. I have worked with him for over three years–started while pregnant. I was in fantastic shape when I gave birth, labor went very smoothly and pushing was easy. A week after my daughter was born, I actually weighed a few pounds less than when I became pregnant. I have stayed with him, because I see results. I become a lot weaker without him around to push me. He also knows just how to hard to push a person to challenge then without making them want to give up. He has a significant amount of medical knowledge, which, as a physician myself, I greatly appreciate. His professionalism and knowledge truly enhance the workout experience. Did I mention he comes to the house too? Talk about convenience! No excuses to avoid the workout. No equipment at home? No problem! I am continually amazed at how tough Rivak can make a workout in a small amount of space with minimum equipment. I find his rates to be reasonable as well.
