“Tzu was a great mentor on powerlifting, especially barbell exercises!”

“Tzu is extremely good at identifying really specific things, not just broad issues in form and general trends but really specific movements or exact behaviors that become easy for me to discern in my own movement. Where most people would probably give general ideas about the type of form I don’t have, Tzu was really good at saying exactly where the issue is, when it happens, and how to tell if it is happening…

I just feel like Tzu has a level of understanding that is so strong to the point where he can see everything as a piece and explain what muscle is being used and how it would feel and etc. like it is so unhelpful for people to just say words to me because I don’t know what the words mean or what that should feel like, but he’s SO GOOD at identifying the feeling that I’m going for, which makes it incredibly easy to understand what he’s saying

“Tzu is a warm, lovely person to work with. He creates a space where I feel relaxed, safe, and able to introspect about big questions such as career options and personal motivation. On top of the philosophical, without Tzu I wouldn’t have the actionable fitness plan that makes up a key part of my daily routine. He continues to support me by listening intently, prompting me at the right moment to reflect, and helping me to organize next steps.”

“Tzu coached me on my SBD lifts! We made an actionable schedule that’s actually sustainable. And now, every time I hit deadlifts especially, I hear his concrete cues and all the form checks he taught in my head.”

“Tzu helped me to get from 0 to 1 in olympic weightlifting, over the course of 4 training sessions. In addition to a solid technical foundation — focusing on the most crucial aspects to get right in a beginner — he has also sparked a competitive passion for weightlifting in me that lasts to this day.”

“Tzu provided lots of resources, demonstrations, and feedback in a patient and encouraging manner. As a beginner, I’d highly recommend working with him!”

“I attended a weightlifting workshop led by Tzu at Manifest Conference 2024 and found it immediately helpful! His insightful feedback and caring demeanor made for an exceptional learning experience that I recommend to anyone looking to improve their technique.”

“Tzu was able to pinpoint the exact areas that was holding me back and gave me really good actionable advice on the steps I needed to take, providing me direction to move forward on my path :)”

“Tzu’s insightful questions and guidance in my dating life went a lot farther than just showing me what to do – they gave me a whole new mindset tailored to finding mutual happiness that I can apply in other life areas.”

“I felt uncertain about my career decisions and Tzu was invaluable in helping me think through major decisions. He helped expanded my exposure to SO MANY cool things outside of college I never knew existed,

“Tzu’s endless dedication to improving himself is beautifully infectious, inspiring all those around him to become the best versions of themselves. He helped me reimagine the value of time and what it means to be kind.”
