MEET THE Kaizen method sensei
Hey, I'm Larry Gao!
I grew up as a competitive basketball player, spending years training and pushing my limits. When that chapter ended, fitness became my next focus.
My journey wasn’t straightforward. After a wrist injury, I went through every phase—skinny, overweight, aggressive bulking and cutting, and chasing leanness the wrong way. Through trial, discipline, and consistency, I rebuilt my body properly and went on to compete in both powerlifting and bodybuilding.
Along the way, I became a personal trainer, helping clients transform not just their physiques, but their confidence and mindset.
I created The Kaizen Method so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, or building your best physique, I’ll help you get there efficiently and sustainably.
Let’s get to work.

Kaizen Method Transformations
"He was more then a fitness coach, he was a life coach as well"
Larry helped me lose weight, build muscle, and train for a marathon. But what made the biggest difference was his support and accountability throughout the year. He was there for me during difficult times, always ready to answer my questions and push me to challenge myself. I finished my marathon strong and feel more confident than ever. My experience was amazing — 10/10! — Victor
"Highly Recommend This"
I had the opportunity to train with Larry this summer for a duration of three months. My main goal was to lose weight and maintain as much muscle as I could, and I definitely think I achieved that. So I lost a total of fifteen pounds during that span of time while upping my lifting weights at the gym, which was awesome. - Philip
"Solved my Weight Fluctuations "
Derek struggled with getting lean.
He used crash dieting and yo-yo dieting tactics that did not help him get to the lean condition he wanted.
He would always gain back the weight he lost because he was starving himself. – Derek
"He Genuinely Cares For You"
I lost sixteen pounds. My waist size went down about five inches. I actually worked with other coaches before working with Larry. It was, like, very min maxi." - Dean
"I'm Loving My Fitness Journey"
I actually like how he did my workout routine which is very practical and sustainable especially for someone who's working in healthcare. - Carla
"In the Best Shape of My Life"
I've been with Larry for nine months, and he's helped me with exercises, nutrition, basically everything. He doesn't shame you if you take a day off or need a break. I can bench more than a plate now and deadlift heavier than I used to squat. I'm in the best shape possible, and I'd recommend Larry 100%. – Patrick Chen
"Blew My Expectations Out of the Water"
My goal was to lose about 7 kg in three months, and I ended up losing 12.5 kg with almost no fatigue or burnout. Larry built a fully custom plan, fixed my shoulder pain by adjusting my form and exercises, and gave me a meal plan with foods I actually like. If you want a coach who listens and delivers huge results without burning you out, I can't recommend Larry enough. – Pramegh
"Down 40 Pounds and Finally Seeing My Abs"
I had worked with a coach before and didn't get the results I wanted, so I was skeptical about starting again. This process has been phenomenal. Larry gave me the plans, the coaching and the structure I needed to get the physique I've been dreaming of. I went from 210 to just under 170 pounds. Put in the work and be consistent, and you will get results. – Matthew
"Broke Through My Plateau"
I'd been lifting for years but hit a plateau in strength and physique. Larry has experience in bodybuilding and powerlifting, and he makes the fitness journey fun. He was more than I could ever ask for in a coach: funny, disciplined and a great person. I'm very satisfied with my results after three months. – Will Nubla
"Fitness Finally Feels Like My Lifestyle"
I kept going back and forth between bulking and cutting with no clear goal, and Larry helped me define one and stay patient. He was always accommodating when I was on vacation or sick. Most of all, he helped me break the all-or-nothing mindset I didn't even know I had. I totally recommend him. – Dylan
"Under 300 Pounds and Still Going"
I signed up at over 300 pounds, the heaviest I'd ever been, right as I was turning 30. Larry made everything simple, adjusted to my schedule and answered all of my nitpicky questions. After 12 weeks I've gained muscle, lost body fat and I'm under that 300 mark. He gave me the lifelong tools to keep going. – Gavin
"He Changed How I Live"
Before Larry, I lived an unstructured life with late nights, irregular training and not eating enough. Now I eat three meals a day, train four days a week and wake up at 8 a.m. I'm more confident and happier overall. He cares and is invested in you. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to improve their life. – Erik Segovia
"Perfect for a Hectic Schedule"
I'm a nurse with a very hectic schedule, and I struggled with consistency, knowing what to eat and fitting in workouts. Larry was there every step of the way, adjusting my plan around my schedule. Even when things weren't perfect, he reminded me that mentality and consistency matter most. – James Verma
"Small Wins, Every Single Week"
I really enjoyed how Larry applied Kaizen to my fitness journey. We focused on small, consistent wins every week, whether in mobility, rest or nutrition, and it felt very manageable. I'll take these habits with me for the rest of my fitness journey. If you need a coach, I highly recommend Larry. – Stanley Ung
"Getting Back Into Fitness the Right Way"
I'd been out of my fitness routine for a couple of years. In three months, Larry broke everything down into habits: nutrition tracking, training, mindset and recovery. It felt balanced, not like fitness had to come before everything else. You don't have to change your whole life, just build small habits. – Paul Kim
"A Coach You Can Trust 100%"
In 12 weeks with Larry, I lost 15 pounds, and I'd signed up with no expectations. The biggest value was having an expert I could trust completely. It saves you so much time and mental exhaustion when someone gives you the answers and helps you find the fastest way to your goal. Thank you, Larry. – Steven Zhang
"The Accountability Made All the Difference"
I'd gotten out of shape and hadn't prioritized my health for years. Larry's Kaizen method helped me kickstart my fitness journey again, with detailed meal plans and a training schedule on my phone. The accountability broke years of bad habits and excuses. I've lost fat, built muscle and built a lifestyle I look forward to. – Terry Kang

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Kaizen Method different from other fitness programs?
The Kaizen Method isn’t built on extreme workouts or restrictive dieting. It focuses on small, repeatable improvements that compound over time. Instead of relying on motivation, the method installs the identity of an in-shape person through simple physical rules, consistent training, and habit reinforcement—so progress becomes automatic and sustainable.
Is the Kaizen Method right for beginners or only advanced trainees?
The Kaizen Method works for both beginners and experienced people because it’s built around principles, not intensity. Beginners benefit from clear structure and guidance, while experienced trainees use the method to simplify, stay consistent, and break plateaus. The only requirement is a willingness to follow the process and commit to consistency.
Will I have to drastically change my lifestyle to see results?
No. The Kaizen Method is designed to fit into real life, not take it over. Training is limited to three gym sessions per week, nutrition is sustainable, and habits are built gradually. The goal is to create results you can maintain long-term—without burnout, extremes, or constant sacrif
What is online coaching and how does it work?
Online coaching provides personalized fitness and nutrition guidance remotely. You’ll receive a customized training program, nutrition advice and direct support from me through check ins, messaging and progress tracking.

Tracking macros can accelerate results, but it’s not mandatory. I’ll help you find the best approach based on your preference and lifestyle.
