He is great in helping you to come back from injuries and in guiding you to avoid new injuries. He helped me come back from shoulder surgery that some surgeons said I would not fully recover from.

I?ve found Diakadi to be a first rate facility with all the equipment one could need (and parking to boot) and with that rare spirit of co-operation rather than competition. Training with Albert is a very rewarding experience both physically and mentally. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced on all aspects of c...

Albert Joval designed a a program that took in to account the number of days I had to train, what could be accomplished between the time I started and the tour, and the specifics of the training program itself.
I would rate the facility and Albert as excellent. The facility is clean, well lighted and has all...

Simply Wonderful.This 66-year old wimpy non-athletic woman started training with Ashley two years ago, and then added Lynne, to my weekly regime. What a difference my life has become. From 5 minutes on the treadmill with painful legs and hips to my new goal of walking 19-minute (now painfree) miles (with surgery to increase bloodflow in my legs along the way), my two very smart trainers have helped me to chang...
Read More On Citysearch spero1 5/12/2007 - Wonderful Trainer, Great FacilityI go to Diakadi Body once a week to work with my trainer, Carrie McCobb. Carrie is wonderful, and the facility is great. They only allow a certain number of trainers and clients in the gym area at one time, so it never feels too crowded. It's always clean and friendly. I definitely recommend Diakadi and Carrie McCobb to anyone looking to get in shape or just alter his/her workout.

Over the past several years, I have slowly watched the extra pounds creep on. I decided I really wanted to make a healthy lifestyle change.

You have nothing to lose.
