Ritual Fitness

Tav came through a recommendation by a few of my buddies who work out with him in Santa Monica. We started working out together in West Hollywood a few months ago and the experience has been great.
Tav has a great ability to push you hard while still making it the workout feel fun and light. I’ve gotten noticeable stronger and more balanced since working with him. His prices are competitive too.
Can’t recommend him highly enough.

I’ve been working out with Tav for a few months now and it’s been a fantastic experience. The workout never becomes routine, he offers variety, and the results are noticeable. Most importantly though, the workouts are fun! Tav is engaging, attentive, and has a good sense of humor and it keeps me coming back. Highly recommended.

Fitness has always been an important part of my life, however, I am not a fan of the gym atmosphere. Ritual Fitness is a refreshing take on exercising. Tav makes working out with a group a more personal experience. Tav’s knowledge and experience are the foundation for a great workout every week.

I’ve really enjoyed training with Tav. I started joining his weekly workouts with a friend a few months back and haven’t missed a session (surprising given it’s so early in the morning)
What motivates me is that each training session is new — Tav mixes up each training day and tailors the workouts to my body and my goals. He’s also really attentive during the workout to each person’s needs and knows how to keep spirits up so early in the morn.
Excited to continue working with you guys!

Tav is the best! He’s really patient and takes your level into account when training in a group. I love that he doesn’t yell, but rather explains things calmly and is encouraging. I work out with him with a group on Wed AM in Santa Monica and I can honestly say that I look forward to it every time. He also did 6 private personal training sessions for my husband. I recommend him highly for both group settings and private trainer sessions.

I met Tav through a friend of mine about 2 years ago, and I have been consistently impressed with his holistic and diverse approach to physical and mental fitness since I began working with him.
In working with Tav, my fitness and fitness knowledge have both grown exponentially since working with Tav. While I previously considered myself well-​versed in overall fitness, Tav has significantly broadened my knowledge base, making me realize how much I actually still have to learn. Between incorporating yoga movements and even Tai-​Chi into a lot of our workouts, I have seen both the physical and mental impact his instruction has had, and have been able to take these lessons into my own time. Tav has finally made working out enjoyable, challenging, and educational, a trifecta that I previously did not achieve when not working with him.
Further, Tav is able to uniquely create workouts that adapt to any type of sports injury that I am currently working through. Not only do his workouts ensure to not aggravate them, but they also provide great rehabilitation for speedier recovery and quicker entry back into my normal course fitness habits.
I highly recommend Tav to anyone at any level who wants to challenge themselves and take their physical and mental capabilities to the next level. Well done Tav, and see you at our Wednesday morning workout this week!

Been training with Tav for almost five months now and have seen amazing results. He gives everyone the attention they deserve, even when we bring a large group.

I currently train with Tav, and I can’t recommend him enough. People usually stop and look whenever we are working out because the movements are so crazy looking — in a good way. No gimmicks, no fads, no BS. His rates are more than competitive, and he is very flexible with scheduling.
He combines mobility exercises, super creative burpees, and then old school lifts like dead lifts and turkish getups. It all falls under the category of the Physical Subculture movement, and it is truly the best way to increase strength and well being. I never again have to rely on a treadmill or workout machine. We train with kettlebells, standard weights, sand bags, pipes, big rocks, etc.
My workouts with Tav even make their way into my professional life; the creativity and intensity fuels my work output and my focus. I seriously try to get every one of my friends to train with him. There’s nothing like lifting heavy things over your head to start your day.
Workout fads come and go, but Tav’s philosophy is timeless. Although, last week at Santa Monica beach there was a certain x-​type of group that was in awe of our Alpha Strong sandball workout combination…

Tav is an excellent trainer! While working with him I discovered that I have strength I never knew I had before. A great thing is that he puts an emphasis on ability and strength, not how I look… but having my body change was a welcome side-​effect.
