Testimonials.

He’s a phenomenal trainer. But what really stands out to me is that he genuinely cares about his athletes and wants to develop a real relationship with you regardless of who you are. He is always listening and wants to learn about your life both in the gym and outside of being an athlete. That human focus makes working out fun and authentic.

Barak's legit man. My favorite thing about him is that he listens. Everybody has a different body with different needs and demands. Barak knows this, listens to me when I tell him how my body is or isn’t responding and then customizes the training to fit my needs. That individual focus and ability to really listen to who he’s working with make him unique.

Barak played ball so I know he understands the physical and mental demands for a hooper. He also runs himself through all the exercises he trains on (I’ve seen it!) so he knows how things feel and how your body will respond. I really enjoyed working with him, he's a true professional and cares a lot about your development and success.

I worked with Barak on some weaker areas in my body to alleviate pain and protect against injury. He helped me get to a place where I was feeling like myself again and I’m a bigger guy so the knees and back need to be on point. He even went so far as to communicate with me outside the gym and see how I was doing on a regular basis.

Barak is one of the best strength coaches I've worked with since I started my professional basketball career. One of his strongest qualities is that he truly coaches the individual - he executes the exercises himself, explains exactly what he's looking for in each one, and puts you in the right positions to make sure you do them correctly. As an athlete you want that focus and attention on you, and all of his programs are individualized for each person.

As a 12 year pro, it’s very hard for me to trust anyone with my body because I feel like I know my body better than anyone else. However, I realized after the first team warmup that Barak knew what he was doing and that I would be able to trust him with my body and learn from him as well. I was most impressed by his attention to detail and individualization in his workouts. Whether you played 35+ minutes or didn't play at all, he took the time to help each player out and maximize their potential. He is the only coach that I’ve seen or heard of that changes his warmup before every practice. I thought it was incredible. Last but not least, he’s just a cool fun guy who’s nice to be around. All in all, Barak is the man and you certainly wouldn’t go wrong if you hired him to train you!

The real deal! We did a lot of explosive work and he even taught me how to breath correctly while we trained together. Very detailed and really helped me understand what I can get out of the exercises when done correctly. My conditioning this past season was one of the best I ever had! I’ve worked with trainers globally but his attention to detail like I said was real key and is second to none. I can hit him up about exercises and he’ll send me videos demonstrating the exercise!! The best man!! Anyone looking to become Elite get with my guy Barak ASAP! The truth.

One thing I really learned from Barak is proactive injury prevention. I’ve always worked my way back from injuries but spent less time thinking about how to stop them from happening in the first place. Barak emphasized that during workouts so that I could feel more resilient and ready to put my body through the grind of a season.

What really stood out to me in working with Barak was the concentration on what I thought were little things like movement quality or even tendon/joint health. I learned how important body positioning is in training and how that translated to results on the court.

I was working back from a few injuries and wasn’t in a great headspace. Barak helped me rebuild the trust and faith in my own body to feel confident returning to the court, and got me pain free. His programs are well organized and methodical and it’s clear he puts the work in to help his players get back 100% after an injury. Also, as a player, I feel as if Barak gives it his all. It does not matter when or what time is is, he always makes the effort to be available and offer his help - every time that I needed him, he was there for me.

Barak’s training is goal oriented which made it not only competitive for me but actually made the work fun. His passion for my improvement was motivating and made me train harder every time we worked together. My biggest expectation of any strength coach that I work with, is that they are intentional about getting to know how each players body works, and how we can incorporate specific strength training in target areas to increase overall performance.

Barak is an intentional and impressive person and trainer. As an athlete, I am more receptive when i have a coach/trainer who I know truly has my best interest at heart and that’s exactly who Barak is. I came to him with a lot of questions from nutrition planning to extra cardio to building muscle. And he delivered in every aspect. He thoughtfully created a nutrition & workout plan and even stayed with me after late practices to get extra cardio in. It completely changed my season and how I was playing. I’m grateful for the time he invested in getting me to my best!
