ABOUT EMIL TCHALAMOV
My Background
I have been involved in movement and athletics for over 30 years. Growing up in Bulgaria, being active and constantly moving is a part of everyday life. I was also a competitive track and field athlete through high school and college. This is where I first start learning not just about training, but about people’s emotions, struggles and mental focus when it comes to fitness and training. And what I remember is that consistent movement always made people happy. My coaches, my fellow athletes, the crowd watching us perform, and all the people who I’d see exercising...everyone was happy. I applied this knowledge and observation from my young years to my profession of personal training and coaching. Movement and exercise are about improving our quality of life.
My Process
The programs I create for my clients go much deeper than just the vanity aspect, which by the way is totally fine. We all want to look great. Personal Training and coaching is about helping people reinvent themselves, about helping them write new chapters of their life story. Chapters where they are more active than ever, more consistent with their good habits, where they completed a race or a ride with their kids, where they picked up a new recreational sport, where they reduced the dose of their medication, where they started cooking at home and so many more amazing examples. I created ReBorn Performance for anyone who wants to create a relationship with movement and exercise that is sustainable and that allows them to create amazing chapters of their own life story.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Fuad Malikov / Client
I love Emil’s online training program. After the COVID-19, Emil’s workouts are tailored to me, my needs, and are designed specifically for my equipment. Emil listens to my feedback and adjusts the plan to continue challenging me.

Gaby Rojas / Client
I have been training with Emil for about 4 years, and having him as my trainer has been one of the best decisions that I have made. Emil has so much knowledge around training. I could not be happier with my results, I am free of injuries, moving well, gaining strength and constantly being challenged both mentally and physically.

Claudie Leece / Client
After all the gyms shut down, I contacted Emil to design a program for me that I could do with the workout gear I had at home. Emil uses a good balance of support, humor and coaching to push me to perform better. I would strongly recommend Emil to anyone who is looking to start, continue or challenge their fitness journey.

Jyrki Hoisko / Client
Emil’s workouts are truly remarkable. He quickly devised a program that would address areas of my concern. I followed his program for a few months, and when it came time to hike in Yosemite – lo and behold I had the strength and stamina like I haven’t had before!
Joy Foster / Client
I reached out to Emil for his Kettlebell Training Program back in June. Emil is flexible and intentional in giving me a workout that fits my needs. My favorite moments in Emil’s workouts is when he hands me a heavier weight than I think to use. He shows me how much stronger I am getting.
Amber Willits / Client
I love Emil’s positive energy, funny personality, and hard work ethic. I met Emil early in 2016. Emil is one of the best fitness trainers in the industry. I am grateful for his friendship and knowledge about personal training. As many would say, it’s a good thing when we finish a workout and “Blame It On Emil!”
