Our Mission

My main source of exercise has always been running because it was the only workout I felt that I could actually do. Before working with Marco, I had always dreaded trying any type of exercise that was out of my comfort zone for fear of hurting myself or looking stupid because I had no idea what I was doing. Since having my first session with Marco about two months ago, I have realized that I am more than capable of doing exercises that are not running. Marco is so nice and definitely knows how to push me without overdoing it. He never makes me feel judged if it takes me a few tries to get the form right on a certain exercise, which it often does. He has also taught me a ton of different exercises that I can do on my own, using my own body weight or resources that I have in my house so that I never have to go to a gym if I do not want to. Working with Marco has actually made me look forward to and enjoy changing up my workouts. I have had such a great experience with Marco and I totally feel myself getting stronger. I would recommend Marco to anyone, no matter what level they are at!

Sara is my sister-in-law and when she asked me to try the Arbonne 30-day challenge I was a little skeptical.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well I started to feel just after the first week.  I made a few minor changes to my diet and followed the 30-day plan.  The protein powder was my favorite and the easiest to incorporate into my shakes.  I increased my fruit and veggies, cut my coffee intake down to 1 cup in the morning, gave up dairy and watched my gluten intake.  This was definitely the boost I needed to get me back on track to a healthier lifestyle which for me includes eating right and exercising.  Thank you, Sara!

Sara is an excellent personal trainer.  With unfailing patience, she demonstrates the exercises until I have them down.  I have become leaner, stronger, and more confident. Thank you, Sara!

Marco of TBP, is a unique personal trainer because he combines his knowledge of physical therapy with fitness. I am 57 and had both my hips replaced in the last 1.5 years. I met Marco because he did my immediate post-surgical PT. I recovered quickly under his care but was not able to get back in the habit of working out after 2 years of barely walking. I just couldn’t motivate myself. I started working out with Marco just a few weeks ago and already feel like a new person — my old self. He is very conscientious about form and avoiding pain in the joints but also ensures a tough workout. Although he is in perfect physical form, he delivers no judgement. I have lost a few pounds and no longer huff upstairs. And I am excited to work out on my own in between sessions.

“I’ve been doing Skype workout sessions with Marco 2x/week and it’s just as amazing as working out with him in person! When Marco offered me the option of Skype, I was naturally hesitant, but it only took a couple of sessions to get in the groove. He adapts the workout to my home environment and is extremely attentive to my form. Even though we’re on opposite ends of the country, he still manages to kick my butt! I’d recommend this option to anyone!”

Without Marco, I would not have been able to stay in shape during this quarantine.  Our Skype sessions are the best motivation to push myself and really work out. Unlike watching fitness videos or doing an on-line class, training one-on-one with Marco helps me avoid joint pain and protect my double hip replacements and injured knee.  He guides me to adjust my form and gives me detailed PT advice on stretches, icing, or other exercises. And his ever-new and personalized exercises keep me sweating but injury-free. I can’t recommend Marco highly enough!

“If you combine a collegiate athlete with a physical therapist and they become your friend, you will have the perfect personal trainer.  That’s Marco Antunez at TBP fitness, who I highly recommend”

“I was introduced to Marco & TBP fitness immediately after partial knee replacement surgery.
I was incredibly lucky to be able to trust both my physical therapy & fitness to the same person!  His deep knowledge of rehabilitation combined with creative challenging workouts has been invaluable!   I am consistently challenged and thoroughly enjoy the range of exercises!  I highly recommend TBP to anyone serious about their fitness.”

“On July 2, 2018 I had a successful Total Hip Replacement.  After being discharged from physical therapy, I continued my rehabilitation with the help of two professionals, Marco and Sara. Marco and Sara provided a total body approach to assure my new hip lasts as long as possible.  Marco, a Physical Therapy Assistant, is aware of my limitations and makes sure I protect my new hip, as I work hard to regain my overall health.  Nine months later, with significant weight loss, I am very happy with my full recovery from the surgery, and the overall positive change in my health. I feel years younger!!!”

“Working with Marco both as a trainer and a PT helped my hip heal after a full replacement. Combing PT and body weight training exercises made my hip and leg much stronger and more flexible than simple physical therapy. Marco is sensitive to both sets of needs.”

“I highly recommend Marco and Sara for a combined approach to fitness and weight loss. They are professional and knowledgeable and have helped me safely lose weight and get in shape. I didn’t participate in any formal exercise routine before meeting Marco and now I’m able to do a 30-minute exercise routine with interval cardio training twice a week with a trainer and also on my own.  Besides losing weight, my cholesterol and hemoglobin a1C are now within normal range.

Marco provides encouragement and guidance to make sure exercises are done correctly and I don’t hurt myself. I highly recommend Marco and Sara to anyone who is interested in getting on the road to personal fitness.”

“I highly recommend Total Body Performance! Marco and Sara give me such a great workout- hitting all muscle groups and varying intensity to incorporate cardio. I especially like that they have a background in therapy and certified training – I trust they give me the best and safest workout.”

“I was lucky enough to work with Sara and Marco prior to attending their boot camp classes. With their professional knowledge of PT/OT and their passion for helping others, I knew their class would be a good fit for me. Their class is challenging and helps me achieve things I would not normally do on my own. They know when to push me, but they also know when to modify exercises to fit my needs. I have been exercising with them once a week all summer and I noticed a big difference in my core strength which has helped my back pain as well as improved my strength while playing hockey. Thank you, Sara and Marco, for your continued dedication to your clients!”
