Charles Torres Yoga and Personal Trainer

My wife Marian and I were new to yoga and Charles is without a doubt the best instructor at Yoga 6. All the instructors are great but Charles is our favorite. He is an outstanding yoga instructor and personal trainer. You can’t go wrong hiring Charles for all your fitness needs!

Charles Torres is an amazing personal trainer and yoga instructor. What I love about him is his genuine good nature, his over-​the-​top abilities to DO what he’s teaching, his passion about fitness (body, mind, nutrition) and the fact that he really cares about those he trains. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of being his yoga student. He gives really clear instructions, has a splash of humor, and really good hands on adjustments. This is someone who walks the walk, and when he’s not training others, he’s practicing himself and studying to gain even more expertise, all day long. I 100% recommend him for your yoga or personal training needs! He’s the BEST — he will kick your butt (with sweetness) and motivate you to meet your goals!

My old idea of a workout used to be: go for a run or to the gym with headphones in and try not to make eye contact with anyone. You may be surprised to hear that this routine has failed to yield the results I would like. Thus, I decided to try something different.
At first, I was nervous to try CrossFit. I had never lifted weights before. My fear was quickly relieved. From the moment I walked in the door, Charlie was so friendly and positive, even at 7 am on a Saturday. You can tell from the moment you meet Charlie that he loves what he does and wants you to love it too.
During our personal training sessions, Charlie explained all of the complex movements and exercises in an easy to understand manner. He demonstrated them for me and gave me useful critiques which allowed me to build confidence in myself.
That confidence was invaluable when it came to making the transition to group CrossFit classes at Next Wave Athletics. What was once a very intimidating place because of my inexperience became a place I could build upon with the foundations that Charlie helped me develop.
Charlie will make sure you have proper technique when lifting weights in order to prevent injury and is also a very supportive motivator.
As if that was not enough, Charlie is also a fantastic yoga instructor. His yoga classes help to improve flexibility and strength. He approaches his yoga instruction with the same enthusiasm and genuine care seen in his personal training and CrossFit instruction.
I give Charlie my highest recommendation.

Charles Torres is an AWESOME yoga instructor! I took his yoga classes for a few months, but the time that I was taking his classes was time WELL SPENT!!! He pushed and encouraged je to go way beyond my abilities and really improved my flexibility! Charles Torres will really motivate u to get the results u desire in ur yoga practice or just in ur workout in general! Two enthusiastic thumbs waaay up!!!

Charlie introduced me to the sport of Crossfit through Next Wave Athletics. He was extremely patient, very comforting, and knew how to push me to my limits while supporting me the whole way through. He is very cheerful and always has a positive attitude which is contagious. All who interact with Charlie, love him. Not just for he expertise in the body, the form of lifting, but also, for his incredible spirit. For those who are just starting out in exercise, Charlie is an excellent person for you to co-​lead your journey. He empowers you to push yourself, and challenges you to step out of your comfort zone. And if you are missing class, or if he hasn’t seen you in a while, he makes sure to check in with you.

Charles is amazing. Nothing else needs to be said. His yoga instruction is whatever you need it to be: gentle or challenging, but always careful and mindful. I love that he is always pushing his students to their limits and manages to keep them smiling through the class.

I have worked with Charlie for about 6 months. I have very serious lower back and knee issues and he has helped increase my flexibility and strength more than any physical therapy or cortisone injections. Great focus on form and helping you go beyond what you think you can in a safe and fun environment!

Charlie is a big part of why I so love yoga. His classes are inspiring, challenging and positive. He has a way of guiding you through a class that is safe (a stickler on correct form) and instills a confidence that takes you beyond what you think you can do. Amazing just to watch and a joy to practice with and learn from. You can’t help but look forward to your next class with Charlie!

Charles is not only an amazing Yoga instructor but also just an overall amazing person who cares deeply about what he’s teaching. If you’re lucky enough to be in his Yoga class you will see first hand how attentive he is to each student’s form and making sure you’re practicing at your level so you’re injury free and enjoying the practice as much as possible. He’s helped me adjust my practice to protect my injured knee but yet get a total workout. He’s a true yogi.

Charles is an amazing cross fit coach and yoga instructor. He always has a smile, fist pump or high five for me as I enter the gym. Charles coaches me a couple times a week and I love how he is focused on form and pushing you to raise the bar. He is always so positive and encourages me to finish when I feel like quitting. I am not the most athletic person I am amazed by what I am capable of, with good coaching and encouragement. Looking for yoga instructor or trainer, see Charles. You will not be disappointed ;)
