Renee is just what I was looking for in a personal trainer; knowledgeable, motivating, creative and kind. I am recovering from an injury and I trust him fully in this process of regaining strength and mobility. He immediately understood my goals and every workout is customized to meet my objectives. I highly recommend working with Renee.

René is REALLY good, willing he is to personalize exerciese for your specific needs while still challenging you. He's encouraging without being a gym-bro, and I always leave the gym feeling like I've accomplished something. He focuses on functional fitness, which is perfect for a multi-sport person who wants to stay active till she's at least 100! I've been going to the Natural Studio for almost 3 years and can't imagine a better environment for full body strength training.

I have been working with Rene for 5 years and he has really helped me with strengthening my hips and core. All of the trainers are experienced and listen to their clients. I highly recommend The Natural Studio.

I can highly recommend training at the Natural Studio, particularly to people on vacation. It is hosted by Rene who is the kindest, most open and supportive host you can imagine. This place is perfect to do intense but also relaxed workout and training, with superfine equipment taken really good care of. The studio's name gives you a good impression of how people find both calm and powerful vibes here. Having been in some gyms in the last years, I think you cannot compare this place with a standard workout studio. You rather feel welcome right from the start. At that, not many places where you can train martial arts have such a great name :-) Also Sifu Stewart's Wing Chun class is very worth visiting. I found being at the Natural Studio an outstandingly great training experience in July 2025, and I would love to come back. Thank you, Rene!

Embarking on a transformative journey with The Natural Studio LLC under the guidance of my personal trainer, Ian Pelman, has redefined my limits and aspirations. As a retired, 100% disabled veteran, the transition from active duty to civilian life was fraught with challenges, both physically and mentally. Over the years, I found myself grappling with the aftermath of service, which took a toll on my well-being. Six months ago, I decided to take the reins of my life, venturing as far as I could on a solitary path to recovery. However, it was not until I met Ian that I truly understood the essence of personal growth and rehabilitation. From the onset, Ian's exceptional knowledge of fitness physiology and its profound impact on the human body was evident. His approach is not just about physical training; it's a holistic strategy that intertwines the mind, body, and spirit.In just a few sessions, Ian managed to unlock a vigor within me that I thought was long gone. His expertise and dedication have shown me that the limitations I once faced were merely stepping stones to a greater, more fulfilling path. Looking back at the challenges of staying in shape for the Air Force PT test, I now find those hurdles trivial compared to the accomplishments I've achieved with Ian's mentorship. Ian Pelman is more than a trainer; he's a catalyst for change, inspiring a newfound perspective on life that starts with self-care and discipline. His influence has been a beacon of hope, proving that even in the twilight of one's career, there is still a dawn of opportunity and wellness awaiting. To anyone standing at the crossroads of change, unsure of the path to take, I wholeheartedly recommend The Natural Studio LLC. Ian's unparalleled approach to fitness is not just about achieving physical milestones but about unlocking the boundless potential that resides within us all. Here's to new beginnings and the endless possibilities that come with taking the first step towards a healthier, happier life. Ian, thank you for making me show up.... and for reopening my eyes to life. #IronSharpensIron
