Soupar Sovidaray

I was referred to Soup by an acquaintance. I needed someone who could modify workouts to my current "deconditioned" state of abilities. After just 3 months of working with Soup, my balance and strength improved significantly as did my muscle mass. He knew how to push me enough to make me better and he always made me feel supported, never ashamed. I left every session feeling positive about what I accomplished. Soup reminded me that it's important to put myself first. If you need a great partner for your fitness journey, look no further, Soup is the one! More...

I like Soup because he doesn't make me count calories in a book:). Working out with him is one of the best decisions I made.   He knows how to make each workout challenging but rewarding. More...

Soup was equal parts my personal trainer and personal dietitian!  He helped me form healthier habits and was always very personable and had my best interests in the forefront of his mind at all times.  I can't recommend him enough.

Soup is a really excellent motivator who cares about your fitness goals and keeps you on track! I started working with him in the fall of 2020, and he was dedicated to keeping me on track with my macros and fitness. He also trained with me outside to be safe against Covid (including the winter), as we wore masks during our sessions. I started working with Soup 3 times a week, and then I went to 4 because it was very helpful in establishing healthy habits.

Excellent - very knowledgeable, personable, reliable.

Soup is a great trainer! I started training with him in summer 2019 2-3x a week. Soup did a great job catering my workouts to help reach my goal, helping me with nutrition (understand foods and balanced meals) and most importantly holding me accountable (which I needed the most). He is very accessible on text so even when not working out, he is helpful in keeping you accountable. I am not a morning person but have enjoyed my training sessions early morning with Soup! More...

I am in my 60's and was 100 pounds overweight; I searched Google for some support, not expecting anyone to jump at the chance to assist me. Soup replied immediately and said he knew he could offer some training options that would help me get stronger, lose weight, and look at the habits that undermined my progress. Fifty pounds later, I understand what works for me and what habits I needed to change. Soup has tried the recommendations he suggests to his clients. I find him a great personal trainer who keeps constant contact with me and is very supportive and caring overall. I would recommend him to anyone. More...

Let me start of by saying, I hate physical activity. When I mean physical activity, I mean anything that requires me to move espcially being outside you could count me out. Being athletic growing up helped me keep my health

Soup is an amazing trainer. Where most research are presenting the holistic view to getting into shape, Soup has the natural ability to Incorporated that before research presented that information. My first meeting with Soup was really surprising. I sent him an email indicating that I would like to meet with him. He responded immediately and gave me the necessary documents I need to fill out and send back before out initial meeting. I soon found out that he's approach to training, is the holistic approach. He not only takes your physical health into account, he also keeps track of your emotional and environmental status.

The initial meeting was really laid back and just an meet and greet. We set up my schedule and off we went. I met with him three times a week and it was usually done on my availability and location. He's very flexible and committed to making sure you're receiving the best sessions. He checks in on what you're eating daily (by monitoring the caloric), because there's an app you need to use. Each day he would make sure everything was going well with me and we went over my diet. My biggest struggle was my diet. I am weak when it comes to food and I won't ever deny it. Soup never tells you, that you can't eat something but will rather help you find a healthier alternative to what you're craving. The app that he request you download and use, helps keep the nutritional value account.

Seriously, When it comes down to it. The money that you spend is really worth it. You don't just get a trainer, but a life coach also. you can text him about anything and he's more than willing to listen and help you. Everything is really connected in life and he's there to help you make sure there's a balance.

Use him. It's worth the investment. More...

Working with Soup has been a really joyous experience. He takes the time to make sure his clients have a holistic experience when working with him. I appreciate him taking his time and making sure I am balanced and can focus on getting me back to my healthy lifestyle. He doesn't just focus on when you're working-out with him, he'll reach out and talk to you over the phone too. If you have a problem he's there for you and wants to ensure you are healthy and balanced. Not only is he a great trainer, he's also an amazing coach that values you more than just a client. More...

Soup is a great at pushing and motivating you in achieving your personal fitness goals. I never thought working out would be fun. With Soup I look forward to every session. On my off days Soup would still encourage me with text reminding me to do cardio and eat clean. Soup is an excellent trainer, he completely changed my thoughts on working out. He customized workouts for me that are exciting and gave me great results. I would highly recommend Soup to anyone looking for an amazing trainer! More...

I started working with Soup in 2015. It soon became clear that Soup was just as committed as me to helping me achieve my goals. I trained with him on a solid basis 5 days a week for over two years. He was flexible and came to me at times that worked for me, designing specific programs to fit my schedule and goals. <br><br>During that time, I lost 40lbs and got into peak physical shape. <br><br>He also worked with me during that time to coach me on the best nutrition to achieve those goals and gave me homework when I started doing two-a-day workouts.

I was randomly matched with Soup way back when he worked at XSport and followed him when he left. He's the real deal - your work with him doesn't begin and end at the gym, but rather, he keeps you accountable throughout your day and week, from meal planning to rest days. Soup is the personification of the idea that fitness is a lifestyle, not just a thing that you do in the gym a few times a week.<br><br>My schedule is often hectic, with a lot of work travel and unpredictable hours, but Soup kept me on track and was very flexible with scheduling. You can really tell that he cares about his clients and is invested in their success.<br><br>Soup also tailors workouts to you, keeping them varied and interesting. Not to mention that he's a riot! Workouts aren't always fun, but he knows how to keep you smiling through those last few reps when you want to die (or kill him - if only you had enough energy). More...

I worked out with Soup for a few months and then moved elsewhere and I wish that there was a Soup here! He is hands down on of the best trainers that I have worked with. As a former collegiate athlete, I have had a lot of trainers in my life and I can say that Soup has been the best. He not only managed what workouts that I would do, he managed my eating habits and how to get me back on track. He is very motivating and fun! He really cares about you personally and if anything is affecting you, he is the first one to ask. He focuses on what you want to change about your body and makes it a priority to help you. Soup isn't only focused on you when you are in your sessions, he follows up and holds you accountable outside the workout. More...

Soup is an incredible trainer. I am NOT a morning person, but he made me excited to get out of bed at 5:30 AM and go train with him. Soup is easily the most motivating person I've ever worked with.<br><br>He catered my workouts to my specific needs and goals, and pushed me to go harder everyday. He is also very creative and keeps the workouts different every time so it doesn't get boring. For example, I told him one day that I randomly had boxing wraps in my car, and then the next time we trained we boxed! I really appreciate that he likes to switch it up in the gym and keep it fun -- no two workouts will be the same.<br><br>Even on days that we weren't training together, he would still check in with me and make sure that I was cardio and eating properly.

Having Soupar as a trainer has been absolutely amazing. He is patient when you are learning a certain technique; he's a mixture between challenging, encouraging, and motivating when he knows you can push yourself further; has extensive knowledge in nutrition and kinesiology; and is very professional. He is really one and all. He embodies the various archetypal trainer roles and caters it to what you and your body needs. I definitely have more confidence in the gym and when I'm out in public after training with Soupar. If you are ready to take that step into a new healthier lifestyle, I highly recommend you train with Soupar. More...
