"Fernando has been an incredible person to work with. He's focused, dedicated, knowledgeable, and is a key figure in my pursuit of better physical health. Initially, our focus was on my recovery from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and a knee injury. He researched my condition and tailored routines to strengthen the relevant muscle groups.

Around the second month, I needed knee surgery, and he promptly adjusted our goals, implementing crucial Pre-habilitation for my post-surgery recovery. Post-surgery, he continued to adapt workouts, ensuring they aligned with my recovery progress.

I'm highly satisfied with our progress, and as I become more independent in my training, he remains attentive. I appreciate the effort we've both invested, and while I view him as a significant factor, he reminds me of the importance of my own hard work. I would recommend him to anyone looking to set fitness goals and cultivate healthy gym habits.”

“The difference is ridiculous. I can finally run without post-pain. I can sprint now no problem and my endurance has improved significantly, Fernando is a beast. He pushes you purely out of passion for his craft and wanting to see you achieve your goals. He keeps you honest with yourself and holds you accountable when you cheat yourself. Not to mention the phenomenal and innovative exercises that are not common practice for trainers & therapists alike.”

Fernando is a great trainer. He really has helped me improve on many things towards a healthier lifestyle: strengthening my posture, eating better, getting better quality sleep, and accountability in general. He pushes you with every workout to consistently train harder. I feel stronger and more confident strength training.

“Before Separation Szn Athletics I wasn't very lean or muscular. I have always been skinny but not lean. Also before I started with Separation I tore my right hamstring twice within 3 weeks during our basketball season. So I was essentially back at ground zero. I weighed about 167 lbs and I lacked strength in areas that really mattered in basketball. I have always been an athlete but I have not always been athletic. “

“After working with Separation Szn Athletics I feel stronger and better than ever. I have fully recovered from my hamstring injury and strengthened it even better than it was before. I have also gained 8 pounds and now weigh 175 lbs. My performance has increased and I can easily tell the difference in my strength. I have gotten much stronger and leaner since I started. I have started to feel more athletic and trust my body to do certain movements I didn't before.”

“What made Separation Szn Athletics different from anything I have done was how personalized everything was. The supplements I received helped me a lot and they were specific for what we were trying to accomplish. The training itself was also very personalized. We kept close track of my numbers and the progress that I made. I feel like the effort put in by Separation Szn Athletics into my own health and training was what made the difference and I'd highly recommend the Separation Szn Athletics training regime. I'm excited to keep it going and progressing even more!”

I had the opportunity to intern with Fernando, and it was an great experience. I got hands-on training in how to engage with individuals and create workout programs. During this time, he also trained me, helping me to reduce body fat, alleviate knee pain, and avoid bad habits that were hindering my progress. Fernando is truly dedicated to his work, and I couldn't have achieved my goals without his support and encouragement.

"Separation Szn Athletics definitely made me an A- athlete. I am much stronger than I used to be. My body is more defined. The thing that stood out to me the most was how much more powerful I am now than I was before.”

Best trainer in the area by far. Is communicative, research oriented, works to solve problems, and results come quickly working with him. No brainer for any athlete or person wanting to become more healthy and active

I've been working with Fernando since July 2023 and I have been satisfied with the quality of training I've received, as well as my progress. He takes a whole-body approach to training in the sense that if your nutrition and sleep are good, you will see the results you're after. I'd recommend him a million times to anyone looking for personal training.

Fernando have been absolutely great! Really help build back my confidence and help me lose a lot of weight and overall just helping me be consistent one of the best trainers in Chicago!
