The best investment you will make for your health in your life is working with Rivak Hoffman. Rivak trained my wife for over a year with the most awesome results before I took advantage of his expertise in physical therapy. Having had surgery on my heel, he took over my rehab after terrible results from other PT’s. His professional knowledge of physical training, the body, nutrition, and therapy has helped me tremendously. Rivak takes your individual situation and creates a personalized program for both body and diet. His patience with my progress is so helpful. Not only am I healing, I have lost weight and have never felt better. Again, the best money you will spend is working with Coach Hoffman. More...

Rivak was my trainer for many years in San Diego. He took me from very bad shape to tip top - I felt 20 years old while in my 60's! He was able to work with injuries and difficulties that I had and still bring me to vibrant health very gradually. When he works with you he has 100% attention on your needs, and can creatively work around limitations. His medical knowledge is remarkable and he is always learning and improving. I lost weight, became strong, and felt absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend Rivak! I wish I could drive to Phoenix to work with him today!!! More...

You will especially appreciate working out with Rivak Hoffman if you are serious about incorporating fitness into your life and want to understand how every piece of the health puzzle fits together. He walks the walk! And finally, someone who can help me work through my physical limitations with a customized program instead of making them worse with a cookie cutter workout. Not to mention the time savings of working out in my home! More...

I highly recommend you work with Coach Hoffman. It is rare to find a professional so broadly educated and firmly committed to building you back to optimal working condition. Rivak has assessed previous injuries that have plagued me as an adult along with poor training choices that were triggering them. What I enjoy most about our training: *Sharing of his philosophy around training and rehabilitation *Discussions around an optimal diet *Postural changes at the workplace to help accelerate my results *Personal success stories and examples of other clients to motivate me *Being pushed further than I've gone before Seven weeks into training and I have seen significant improvement in my flexibility and strength. Specifically, my back pain is alleviating and my posture has improved. I KNOW the healthiest years are right ahead of me! More...

As soon as I had my first appointment with Mr. Hoffman, I knew confidently that I have made the right decision. He is not the typical trainer that makes you to do so many sets of repetitions for specific exercises in order to lose weight within 30 days or faster, which undoubtedly, it’ll result on injuries in the first 90 days of your training, depending, of course, on the condition of your body when you started. He studies your body, and he’s very knowledgeable of how it works. I was entirely surprised when in my first physical examination, after several tests he ran, he was able to find out with such level of certainty, my body limitations, the problems that I have with my knees, spine, hips, and neck, besides my BMI, heart rate, blood pressure analysis, all that, as a result of those test. He is currently working with me with the appropriate amount of and personalized exercises in order to correct these issues in the allocated time we have. He takes the time to create a nutritional and weight loss plan [in my case it took him two hours] that works for specifics and that allows you to shred those undesired pounds off and keep them that way. He also takes the time of finding out what you eat every week, the mistakes you make, henceforward, the corrections that you have to do for keeping you on track. Every session is like a doctor’s appointment when he goes over the details of what he calls the table and the balance of its legs that is so necessary for you optimizing your objectives within the cyclical connection of sleeping, eating, exercising, meditating, and managing levels of stress as a whole.Most importantly, he’s a friend. He wants you to succeed in your goals and will do everything he can to make it happen. Our sessions, every week, are incredibly helpful as I’ve been learning a lot about myself, but also exciting as he’s the guy whom you’ll feel very comfortable and pleasantly relaxed to work with. I strongly recommend you to give him a try so you can find what I already did. Happy Tuesday,ch More...

Great training! Been with Rivak for over a year. He is a great at pushing my limits as well as solving my everyday problems that need attention like tight hip flexors or a pinched nerve in my back or shoulder. He is constantly educating himself on new techniques and brings new innovative exercises to our workouts which keep them interesting and fast moving. He has definitely made working out part of my life opposed to something I do. More...

Rivak is so knowledgeable and great to work with that I HIGHLY recommend him. He can work with clients at every level, but let me give you my profile since that is what I can speak to directly. -I am a professional who works many, many hours, so efficiency is super important to me. Rivak comes to lead my workouts in my modest home gym, so I can get my workout in in less time than I was taking to commute to and from the gym, and pricing is very reasonable.-I am 53 and, while I have always been active, I've lost ground in the last few years between hitting 50 and working too much (including relocating to a rural part of New England (and back again to AZ, yay!)). Rivak is great at pushing me enough to get back to where I want to be, and hopefully past that.-I have a few injuries and arthritis issues to work around, plus challenges from sitting at my desk too much and letting my busy schedule impact my eating habits, and I totally trust that Rivak is knowledgeable enough to help me take control of those challenges while I helping me get stronger and NOT injure me further as less experienced "trainers" have done.-I am pretty highly motivated, so Rivak is a great fit for me on that front. His level of fitness, nutrition, and time management are impressive!-He has great life experience that makes him a pleasure to talk with (when I can catch my breath!) during workouts.I hope that helps you if you are making a personal trainer decision! Go for it--you have only one life, make it a fit one, a longer one! More...

Rivak can access his clients and challenge them at every stage, age and ability!   He worked at my near 60 age bracket, out of shape and overweight and is now training my daughter, a college athlete.   Alexis requested him when she came home for the summer.   She said "He knows how to motivate me and push me to be my best!"

I have had multiple great work out sessions with Rivak at the Las Sendas TAC morning classes at 5:30AM on Wednesday and Friday's. Rivak workout routines are always challenging, fun and most importantly a sense of accomplishment when done. If you live in the Las Sendas area I would recommend giving them a try and pushing your work out to new limits with us. Mike More...

I have been training with Rivak for several months (began 12/16). I was a personal trainer myself, 18+ years ago, but found myself slipping back into bad form and suffering with a lower back issues. I chose Rivak as my personal trainer based on his experience, knowledge and straight forward approach. I was also seeking someone who had knowledge on nutrition and diet. I have been extremely happy with the results I am getting working with Rivak. He has been instrumental in correcting my form and improving my body mechanics. I have cleaned up by diet (still a work in progress) and have lost several pounds and feel I am in the best shape I have been in many years. The workout sessions are challenging but not impossible. He puts together a workout that offers variety so you are not doing the same exercise too often. He practices what he preaches and is a good role model for others. Rivak can help you improve your overall health and fitness. You need to do the work but Rivak is a great personal trainer to help you achieve your fitness goals! More...
