My name is Hector Aponte, and I have been a fitness professional for the last 8 years, starting when I was 18.
As a certified personal trainer with a college education in exercise science, I have a deep passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals!
Whether it’s gaining muscle, losing fat, improving mobility or increasing your athletic potential, I am here to guide you through your journey with evidence-based fitness exercise programming, nutritional guidance and forming the healthy habits required for long-term health and wellness.

Hector helped me get healthier by holding me accountable to the habits I needed in order to lose weight, build muscle and get to a healthy body fat percentage. He helped me without a meal plan, and showed me how to make better choices with nutrition and sustain my progress through education and consistency. After, we focused on athletic performance, and he helped me become faster, stronger, and more explosive while eliminating aches and pains from previous injuries through proper exercise selection and prescription. Through his training, I got scouted for the prestigious 14U Washington Islands Best football team, and I am currently defensive end and left tackle. Hector helped me realize my potential, and working with him has been filled with achievement after achievement!
My shoulder was pretty banged up from years of playing volleyball. After college I could barely use it to serve or hit balls as a coach. Hector was able to heal my shoulder through functional movements that built strength and mobility. I was able to serve again!! Super thankful for his knowledge and dedication to my health!
Hector has been my trainer on and off for 3+ years now and is one of the most effective and exceptional professionals I’ve ever worked with, period. Over the years we have focused on strength, endurance, weight loss, and back pain, and I’ve had definitive positive results across the board. Hector is adaptive to my expressed and evolving goals and is paranormally perceptive at identifying obstacles I’d never have known otherwise. Working with Hector I very quickly lost count of the occasions he modified our work to tailor to needs I didn’t even realize I had until he helped me work through them. Years in, it is still a daily occurrence that Hector will tweak my form and transform our set into something precisely catered to whatever pain or weakness I happen to be dealing with on any given day. His observations and attention to detail make it obvious he is the son of a world class bodybuilder! Behind his candid and practical exterior is a very thoughtful and understanding expertise, and I consider myself lucky to work with him!
