Tycho’s BIO.

He/Him/His

I coach you to your Happiness.

I started my health journey as a musician when I was 12.  Drumming was like a dance for my body, and the more I used the gym to enhance my strength, the more efficient my movements became.  My creativity and power became direct expressions of my workout intelligence and love for my body. 15 years later, I decided that in order to contribute what I had learned about my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual journey, I would teach in the gym.  I became certified as a science-based ACSM trainer and took flight as a holistic wellness coach.

Now, 12 years later, I start with a systematic approach to your mind and body connection, and use resistance training to maximize your potential.  I have translated all the helpful modalities of my life into my coaching work, including my studies in theater and music, Buddhism and breath, and even Neuro-Linguistic Programming to guide you with the greatest foundation into the life of your dreams.

There is no greater contribution you can make to yourself or others than to express your greatest potential.  I offer you the most effective tools to see yourself as you have always dreamed. Together, let’s make your goals a reality — now.

TESTIMONIALS.

 

Tycho's coaching style always entices me to do more weight and more reps. He has a very focused tone and clear objectives. I find myself not even thinking about just going to the next exercise, I just go ahead of him without any prodding. That comes from the strength he has that enables me to have such trust and confidence, that I just go knowing we are executing his plan.
It's faith, faith in Tycho having faith in me, even when I don't have faith in me. There is a difference between performing from admiration, intimidation or fear and performing based upon an absolute belief that you and your coach are aligned and have a mutual focus and respect for goals and success.
Whether the success obtained is actually, or an unintended benefit against a team of two focused on a goal, aligned in purpose and achieving daily success I can't determine.
I never hate it, I never want to give up, I never need compliments, nor feel like I have to perform, I just do.
I'm unconsciously inspired resulting in purposeful performance. I feel like a team and I don't want to let down my partner, don't want to not carry my weight, don't want to lose the respect and momentum of a team with an objective.
There are lots of trainers in gyms. There are few professional coaches. A coach deals with the whole person, physical, mental, nutritional. You feel the difference immediately. In professional sports the Coach runs the show,
when you work with Tycho, you are the show.

Since I started seeing Tycho a few months ago it's wild how I've noticed changes I didn't expect - walking down the street and seeing my posture in windows I can see how much I've improved in just a short time! My digestion is better, my sleep is better, and I'm strong than I've ever been before. So excited to keep seeing Tycho and continue to make gains I never knew were possible!

I've been training with Tycho at Diakadi for 5 months now and I can say that it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
Originally I sought out personal training for aesthetic goals. However, what I've gained so far has been much more than that. Tycho has a holistic approach in coaching and has not only helped me hit my aesthetic goals, but has also helped me feel more confident in my body, become the strongest and most flexible I've ever been in my life, changed my relationship with food, and has also helped me be mentally strong as well.
He's a wonderful coach with a great perspective on life and he passes that onto you during your tough workout sessions.
All in all, I would highly recommend getting personal training with Tycho, especially if you are like me and knew your way around a gym but always felt like there was just something missing to get you to that next level. Tycho will help get you to that next level and then some.|

Tycho is a meticulous and dedicated trainer. He challenges you to do more than you thought you could, but never forgets to note your progress. He encourages, cajoles, listens, adapts. When you are his client, for that 1 hour, he is all about you.
As a person, he is also incredibly kind and has a zany sense of humor. He is fun to spend time with, which makes those hard sessions much more fun.
I view Tycho as a partner, someone I trust on a path to a better body and better health. The facilities are also top notch; I think no other workout facility in SF comes close.

I've been training with Tycho for about nine months and am so glad I started! He has been thoughtful, methodical, and encouraging, and it's shown in my progress. It's great to do reassessments and see how far I've come. Diakadi is an amazing facility and Tycho is a fantastic trainer, I would recommend both to anyone.
