I had a mild stroke in 2017. I am in my 70s and have lost a lot of strength in my legs, feet and arms. I began training sessions with Bodhi & Hitomi online at Northstar Fitness. Bodhi said he could help me improve my strength. I asked him to also help with my nutrition, so that I could lose a few pounds. I wasn’t eating as healthy as I should have and gained about 10 lbs (4.5kg). Within 8 weeks of improving my nutrition and training online, at 3 x 20-minute training sessions per week, I have lost 8 (3.6kg) of those ugly pounds. I will continue with his program as I trust his method. I hope to lose another 2 pounds (0.9kg) in the weeks ahead and I’m sure I will. If you are serious about becoming more fit and eating healthier, please consider Bodhi & Hitomi at Northstar Fitness. You won’t regret it. Hitomi has a degree in Nutrition and can help you with your meals. She is also one strong woman!

I feel GREAT 😁😆 I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am tired after this workout…. But boy do I feel good! No pain of any sort (wrist, knee, back, … nothing!), and I feel so … good! Just plain good, and very much happy with that! Thank you so much 🙏 All this is truly thanks to you, and your support, and your program!

Trainers (Bodhi and Hitomi-san) have great passion for helping their clients. Their support system is wonderful, and this makes me feel like they are next to me to support every time I train. Their flexibility is also great. They asked about my purpose and goals at the very first session, and then they customized my program accordingly. Regarding the dietary management, rather than giving me quick boilerplate answers about what I should and shouldn’t eat, they give me great hints thorough attentive counseling. Their idea is that the client themselves find the best possible way independently, and this is what I found the most effective for me. It’s one of many reasons that I have come to trust Northstar Fitness.

I've been working out here for a year now, starting as absolute beginner to workout, once a week plus another pair session with my partner - lost 10kg in fat whilst gaining muscles, feeling much better across the board, where gym membership never really changed anything: Northstar helped me to change bad habits, gave nutrition advice that's not one-size-fits-it-all but custom-made to work for (my foodie) me; the trainer, Bodhi, and his wife, Hitomi, are fantastic; it's flexible, uncomplicated, supportive - and always fun!

It's been two years since I started training at Northstar Fitness. It was six months after I started training that I could see the changes in my body, and now I have a great body that I couldn't even imagine before I started training. Rather than training for the purpose of being seen and praised by others, my best harvest has been that I have gained confidence in myself and like my body through training. Thanks to the support of Bodhi and Hitomi, I have been able to do my best so far. Northstar Fitness is a place that can meet your demands if you take your training seriously. However, it is difficult to make a reservation during popular hours, so I recommend that you make a reservation for the desired date and time in advance.

Joining Northstar Fitness was by far one of the best decisions I made the past year. Not only are the sessions top quality and tailored specifically to your needs, but they're a lot of fun! I leave every session feeling happy and energized, and already looking forward to the next lesson. I also almost immediately started noticing a difference in my everyday health and fitness after joining Northstar Fitness. Not only did I see a marked improvement in other sports I play (For example, I go horseback riding regularly. After a few sessions at Northstar Fitness I went riding again and my instructor just stared at me in surprise and said, "You're riding SO well today! What happened?) but every day chores also became easier (As another example, I went on a trip the other day and was amazed at how effortless it was to cart my luggage around -- normally I have to struggle a good bit!) Would definitely recommend Northstar Fitness to anyone who is looking to get in shape, feel better about themselves, or just get out of the house and get a bit of exercise 🙂

What can I say, the reality lives up to the promise. Bodhi is great to work with, extremely knowledgeable, provides practical and effective training for people at all levels. The gym is clean and well stocked. Perfect for small group and individual sessions. Most importantly, though, he keeps the sessions fun. Long term is the key to success in health and training and having an enjoyable, warm and super friendly place to do it makes all of the difference. I cannot recommend highly enough to anyone considering starting or getting back into the gym!

I used to have lower back pain, especially after hard Japanese Taiko drumming practice. But I just realized I don't have any pain any more for the past month even during daily life. Thank you very much, Bodhi, for providing wonderful training sessions. Thank you Hitomi for your great food advice!

I had been an occasional gym goer for years. I never really knew what I was doing, but I knew I wanted to be in better shape. At some of the gyms I joined they offered personal trainers. Unfortunately, they never felt like they were actually invested in helping me get to where I needed to be. Too clinical, too robotic, and too cold. Bodhi is a personal trainer who actually wants to get the results you are looking for, and will stick with you every step of the way. Bodhi will check in with you via message or email to see how you are doing. There is a genuine level of concern for your well being with Bodhi. His personal training is truly one of a kind, and I have a healthier and stronger body to thank for it.

Bodhi as a personal trainer is indispensable to my workouts. He has taught me to train smart, safe and effectively, and I’ve seen real gains. It’s a great feeling when others notice the changes and compliment you on how you look. Bodhi brings a lot of knowledge to the program and is a really enjoyable person to be around. Highly Recommend!

If you are looking for an amazing trainer who can speak English Northstar Fitness is definitely the place! I’ve tried many gyms all around Tokyo from big franchise gyms to small private trainer gyms and have never been satisfied with the results i was trying to achieve. Bodhi is a great and experienced trainer with an amazing background, every session has been a blast and he really pushes me just enough to be able to reach my gym goals! So far I've been training with him for 10 months and continuing!

I started online training twice a week. The training gets progressively more challenging each week, so I am happy that I can keep up with the pace and continue to improve. I am also doing my best to stretch every day now. Because the sessions are taught with kindness, I believe I can keep enjoying my training. Thank you for your continued support 🤗

I had never tried personal training before starting with Northstar Fitness, but it is much more effective than I expected. Bodhi points out and corrects mistakes in my posture that I would have never noticed on my own. I’m able to make progress with basic stretching and core training exercises according to my physical strength. I realize how great personal training can be. It's only been two months since I started online training and I'm very happy with it so far. Bodhi always speaks to me with his nice voice and kind guidance, so I think I can continue. Every time I hear Bodhi’s voice in the SVENSON TV commercial jingle, it motivates me to do my best in training - LOL.
