Training Philosophy

Typically, society only concerns itself with health and fitness when it is in jeopardy. There is nothing more valuable to us then our health and physical well-being, yet we take it for granted. Sadly, we have grown accustomed to the quick fix and look for instant solutions to problems when they arise, rather than taking preventative steps to safeguard our health and fitness. In the end we blame ourselves for failing the diet or regimen that the infomercials promised us were the answer to all our ailments. But its not your fault - it never was. Diets don't work and crazy fitness regimens were designed to make you fail, period. Leo Tobares is committed to helping its clients live a legacy of health and fitness, developing a greater appreciation of what can be achieved in order to add years to one's life as well as life to one's years.
