DIAKADI

I could not be more grateful to have met Tommy Armenta and to have the chance to work with him. Over the last ten years, I have come to him twice in physically rough shape -- and each time he has rebuilt me into someone stronger than I ever thought possible. The first time was due to serious back problems, even after going to physical therapy. The second was after having a baby, when I could barely climb a set of stairs. Tommy met me exactly where I was and, day after day, helped rebuild me. He has this incredible superpower - that when something in your body isn't working quite right, he has a Mr. Miyagi way of getting it back into alignment. He combines deep foundational knowledge of the body with an incredible understanding of the connection between muscles and the nervous system, all grounded in a calm, steady presence that pushes you further than you think you can go. He knows how to challenge you right to your physical and mental edge without ever putting you at risk -- and in the process, shows you what you're truly capable of. He is truly one of a kind.

I have been going to Diakadi and training with Tommy for the last 8 years. I can’t speak highly enough of Tommy and of Diakadi. You won’t find a more dedicated practitioner of his craft. He is proactive in tailoring strength programs to my needs and is meticulous about proper execution and technique. There is no slacking with Tommy. We’re there to workout and the results speak for themselves. Despite being an aging athlete I am as strong and fit as ever. Thanks, Tommy!

Tommy Armenta is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with, and I've had experience with a number of trainers/coaches. He's insanely knowledgeable, so motivating, and just wonderful to be around. He creates super individualized plans based on your goals / abilities, and is constantly adapting them to keep you progressing and challenged. I've been working with Tommy for 2.5 years, starting after the birth of my 2nd kid and through pregnancy, birth and postpartum with my 3rd. After 3 kids I can honestly say I've never been stronger. I was a college athlete and now an endurance runner -- Tommy has upped my game in every possible way. My only warning is that you'll get addicted -- I started working with Tommy once a week and now am up to 4x a week because I love working with him and see such incredible results. There's truly no one better!

I’ve been working with Jo Joy at Diakadi for 8 months now, and she’s amazing. I was getting back to exercise postpartum and was super prone to back injuries. Jo devised a program that helped me build that strength back, and I am now well on my way to achieving my goals. I’ve lost weight and built a lot of strength, and best of all, I can now deadlift a toddler without hurting my back. 😄. I’ve been nervous about gyms in the past, but Jo is so encouraging and kind in her approach, I am a total gym convert.

Randy Miranda ----- I have been working with Randy for almost 4 years. In that time, besides being funny, friendly, and supportive as a person, he has shown himself to be a very knowledgeable and adaptive trainer. He has a deep well of capability that has been able to help me build muscle and cardio capacity when I have been healthy and to have a magician's touch for bodywork and unlimited repertoire of exercises when I needed physical therapy when injured. Every session is customized to me, based on how I feel and how my body feels - Randy always knows the right thing to say and what my body needs. I really look forward to every appointment, and I hate to contemplate what my body might feel like or my mobility might be without him.
