Jarlo Ilano crossed the RMAX doorstop and by his professionalism demanded I take notice.  As a USA National Team Coach, I have learned that one can through study and practice become a great athlete, a great coach, or a great therapist. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of each in different countries.  But even at an Olympic level, it is a precious rarity to meet someone who been blessed with the talent necessary and invested the sacrifices required to become great in all three arenas, especially with such well-established and hard-earned credentials held by Jarlo Ilano.

Jarlo has touched the lives of thousands through his articles on our community discussion forum and corporate journal, and has raised the intellectual and athletic capital of our collective bank by his contributions. I am honored to have the privilege of Coach Ilano on my staff and on my team. His “leadership by example” has raised the bar in our organization inspiring not only our members to greater sustained motivation, but our cadre of instructors as well

Coach Jarlo Ilano is an intelligent and highly skilled RMAX Coach, who it is my honor to have been instructed by.  He combines his many years as a physical therapist with the knowledge and skills he has attained through his personal practice of CST in a seamless manner, which provides his clients with instruction which is truly excellent.

His recommendations have taken months of trial and error out of my training and provided me with an edge that I was missing.  The online instruction he has provided is invaluable to me and causes me to look forward to the opportunity to train under his instruction in person.  I highly recommend Coach Ilano to anyone looking to improve his/her personal practice.

Coach Ilano is an incredible resource for all aspects of Circular Strength Training®. I’ve had the privilege of training with him in person on several occasions while traveling in Hawaii. He was able to quickly identify and correct structural problems I was having while using Clubbell®s, which had been adding up to a lot of unnecessary tension and pain even with lighter weights.

Where he really floored me, though, was his ability to explain and demonstrate Prasara Yoga in a way that made sense to me. I had been struggling to understand two particular biomechanical exercises, working at them for at least a month. Coach Ilano had me performing both in a matter of minutes! He remains an inspiration to me to this day, and has been a guide through my own certification and continuing practice in CST. I cannot recommend him highly enough! You owe it to yourself to train with him on your next visit to his marvelous island paradise!

This was my first time engaging a coach to help me put a training cycle program together. Before I go to far, let me say up front that I have received good benefit from my studies and solo efforts. But they were nothing compared to working with an experienced coach. I engaged Coach Ilano to help me. Let me tell you that it was an excellent experience!

Any questions I had, or problems I encountered, were answered in a timely manner – and in a way that I understood immediately and without trouble. The suggestions he made in regards to trouble spots I had in working the Mill and in a transition in a Prasara flow were spot on, corrected my problem(s), and accelerated my performance beyond any measure that I had previously held. And all of it long distance via email, forum, IM and video – which in my mind makes it that much more amazing a feat! He took something that I would have taken weeks, or months, to solve, and corrected them in one communication. Imagine if I had direct access to him! He could have shaved off even more time – giving me an even greater boost to my performance!

Jarlo is a consummate martial artist, coach and athlete.  He is also an amazing physical therapist (PT)… He did more for my wife in a half-an-hour than several other PTs did  all together in five years….

Thank you again for your coaching and time. It really opened my eyes and helped me make a lot of new connections. I’m most happy about learning Prasara. It was one area that I was having a hard time really grasping. I totally understand the yoga in flow part, but with all the materials I had gotten on Prasara and the articles I read, there was still something missing for me. But after our session I really started to understand the deeper concepts that I had not gotten before. I feel that I know how to study it now and excited about delving deeper. The next day my hips were sore like I had been working out rather than “stretching”.
