Body By Raven LLC

Experiencia fantástica: Raven is the BEST trainer!!! I highly recommend him!!! He has a very in depth knowledge of the human body and fitness. He designs a workout plan to meet the fitness goal you want to achieve. Raven is very professional, respectful, and very caring. One of the many things I like about him, is he will push you to your limit. On "Leg Days".....the next day you will feel the burn!

Experiencia fantástica: I suffer from Pectus Excavatum and for those that do not know what this is, its an ugly indentation in the center of the sternum that can cause a whole ton of issues all of which I have experienced since a young age, those including. -Nonexistent stamina -Tension in the chest that prevented full range of motion and sleeping on my back -A deep shame to ever take my shirt off Needless to say I never saw myself ever becoming anything more than skinny and unfit individual that couldn't even dream of being active or normal. That was until I met Raven, right off the bat in the phone call alone I knew he was the man for the job, he comforted me and knew exactly what I was dealing with, step by step he explained to me what WE were going to do. Admittedly I was hesitant in the beginning, training isn't easy and at the start it was painful for me but nothing worth anything is ever easy, day in and day out with raven showed me that the word can should be will and the word try should be do. I have only been with him for a month and in that time I have seen progress from myself I would of never expected in years, running mile times I never expected with a freeing sense of accomplishment, they may not be the best times but they are milestones for me and Raven shares in these milestones with me. If you ever are in need of a trainer I urge you to use this man.

Experiencia fantástica: it has been a life changing experience for me so far. Before I started with Raven, I had terrible back problem, lower back problem, I had lost my muscle strength, I had lost weight and had difficulty in standing or walking for more than 10-15 mins and also needed some support to get up to stand Raven's training schedule and diet plan has helped me solve most of my problems. I don't have the same level of back pain that I had, my muscle strength in building back, I don't look for support to getting back up,. Some of the exercises, that I was unable to do when I started, I am able to them now. My body language and attitude has become confident again. More than anything else, I have now started to take my health seriously and have started to exercise regularly (something I resisted doing for a very long time). All the credit goes to Raven. It's been great! Thank you Raven for all your help!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I Loved working with Raven. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in what he does. I suffer from severe pain from Endometriosis, cramping, and back pains which has decreased drastically since training with him. He trains you on how to properly treat your body well, but more importantly, on how to treat your body well for the rest of your life. He trains you for a lifestyle change.

Experiencia fantástica: If you're looking to change your life and finally get in shape - I suggest you reach out to Raven... but only if you're serious! He's a great trainer with so much knowledge and openness to share it with you. He has a clear and no-nonsense approach to his work which I greatly appreciate. I would definitely recommend working with him. And although I am moving and can no longer attend his sessions, I hope to have him as a trainer again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Fitness is something I've thought about doing a lot for a long time, but I never took any action upon it until recently. Before meeting Raven, I had tons of misconceptions and misperceptions about fitness. I thought it was about killing yourself, living with pain/soreness everyday, and I honestly dreaded it and thought I would hate it, only pushing myself to hire a trainer because I was of the mindset that it was something I had to, not something I'd like to do. I started as a skinny 6'1", 165~ lbs guy seeking to gain muscle. I had never heard of Thumbtack and luckily stumbled upon it while searching up trainers near me on Google. I saw Raven's reviews on Thumbtack and saw that they were all five stars, and that he was clearly the best of the best, and saw that he was also a nutritionist. I only sought two things from a trainer: to tell me what to eat and how to exercise. What I received from working with Raven however, was so much more. Not only is he meticulous about everything food and fitness on the physiological and psychological level, but he does an excellent job at elaborating and detailing why and how the body works, and why his methods are effective. And not to mention, he is very flexible. He does not force me to do anything I don't want to do, and truly values my input, especially given that I think of myself to be picky with food. I thought I would struggle to put on weight given that I've been skinny all my life, but after following his instructions to the letter for a month, not only have I grown, but I've grown far faster than expected, gaining almost 15 lbs! And not only that, but Raven also managed to make fitness, something I thought I'd hate, completely fun for me and something I look forward to doing under his guidance. He truly knows what he is doing, is excellent at keeping me calm while doing these exercises, is all about science, and plus, he is a great storyteller. With Raven, I can tell from early on that not only would I meet my goals, but also surpass them under his wing. He has made fitness an enjoyable experience that I won't regret, and his methods definitely bring results.

Experiencia fantástica: Body By Raven = 11/10 I was with Raven for 4 short months. I went in at 225 lb and in 3 months he got me down to my goal of 195 lb. Raven answered all my questions about the exercise to the science and also demonstrated them instead of just telling me how, which was a nice change of pace. I definitely recommend his service, he is dedicated to the job and cares about the clients outcome. If you don't want to work to change yourself then don't bother. Exercise alone doesn't change you it takes commitment and discipline.

Experiencia fantástica: It was an honor working with Raven & Pierre over the last 4 months, I was trying to put on size and muscle mass which I gained 25lbs, I didn't think it would be possible but they really know what they're doing. I learned a ton and I will forever be grateful to them for turning my life around.

Experiencia fantástica: Raven I love you, you changed my way of eating and opened my eyes how bad I was feeding myself . Finally I have hope for big change in my life, after talking with very smart , professional person. I am 77 and with your help I have hope, that my body will be alive again. Thank you Eva D.

Experiencia fantástica: Being a fitness professional for well over 20 years, connecting with like minded pro's that have the practical experience of proven results isn't always easy. When Raven and I connected in the early years of my career, he's one of the only ones that have standed the test of time in producing real success with exercise science and practical skillset. If you reside/work in the Naperville Illinois area, I highly recommend Raven to coach you and educate you to become the healthiest, fittest version of yourself. You won't regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: I have to say what a difference it is working with a trainer. Raven is a professional and very calm with his practice. In a month I saw a dramatic change in my body and confidence! I can see the tips of my shoes again! I highly recommend Raven
