Over 14 years ago I walked into the Brian’s studio because my chiropractor told me I had to do something to strengthen my core muscles if I wanted my back to get any better (L4/L5 disc issues), that and the intro offer was so cheap if I went to two classes and quit I would have gotten my money’s worth. Well, that was the best $30 bucks I ever spent, two years later and I am still going 3 – 4 times a week.

Body Tonic SF has had a profound positive impact on my recovery and mental well being since I’ve been going class. and it’s only been three months. To say that the Brian and Body Tonic SF has been a game changer for me is an extreme understatement. I broke my ankle and fractured my tibia in 13 places (it was a Pilon Fracture). I was non-weight bearing, on bed rest, for 3 months. That was followed by another 3 months of gradually increasing the amount of weight I could put on my left foot. That process took me from a walker, a knee scooter, crutches and finally a walking boot.

I’ve been going to class regularly and have seen and felt a radical improvement in my ankle range of motion, the strength of my ankle and foot and my walking stamina. Before I started going to class, I was limited to a few block walking radius. Today, I don’t have those limitations. My journey so far has been fantastic and I am so thankful for my improvement. But what’s even more exciting and motivating is that I know my journey and recovery is really only starting now. I couldn’t be more appreciative of the amazing space and experience that the Body Tonic SF has given me.

“I walked past it on a dog walk in the middle of the pandemic. I had been doing YouTube yoga for a decade and hot yoga scattered in between then here and there.

Brian connected with me right away to hear where I was at and share how he thought Body Tonic SF could help me. I was hoping for simply a good foundation in fitness and flexibility moving out of early adulthood to set me up for long-term health….

What I’ve gotten is already so much more. Body Tonic SF is deeply humbling and healing for both my mind and body. Soul too if you want to get cheesy about it!!

I am longer and leaner!! I gained a few pounds that it is entirely muscle. I have completely changed shape in learned how to engage my core and breathing muscles totally differently.

I walk different, I get sore in different places — but most importantly my old pains are gone (sciatic, knee pain, and neck kinks) and I feel my body is actually working hard to support itself instead of taking hits.

My butt is a whole new butt — I had a butt before but now it is starting to know how to actually work. My leg muscles are more solid — and this is coming from someone who had fairly beefy quads to begin with. My upper leg muscles are more toned and I swear my neck is a little longer!”
