After assessing posture and fundamental poses such as squatting and bending, Yimsel teaches his clients how to rebalance the body as a functional unit capable of healing itself.

He literally had his own personal trainer, and under his father’s tutelage, developed extensive physical fitness knowledge and expertise early on. His high school and college years were highlighted by award-winning water polo competitions in the highest-ranking water polo league in Turkey. His diverse background allows him to combine some of the Eastern tools and methodologies in his training programs, including kettlebells, clubbells, suspension ropes etc. Yimsel also utilizes advanced Swiss Ball training for rehabilitation.
