Expertise

I adopted a lifestyle of fitness and nutrition 19 years ago when I ventured into high school sports.  I recognized the value in athletic and strength training to improve my performance, physique, and health.  My years of training are complemented by my experience learning from athletes and competitive power lifters, and an education provided by some of the mostly highly respected agencies in the world.   These fundamentals provide development for workouts that are challenging, fun, and most importantly, functional.  No matter what your fitness goal may be, functional training benefits all levels of fitness.   Functional training is used in everyday activities and will improve balance, core strength, reduce falls and develop mastery over your body’s movements. 

In addition to performance and weight loss training, I practice various nutritional routines for different phases of my training.  Your program will also have a customized meal plan to maximize your level of potential and follow a series of periodization to overcome plateaus. 

Motivation

I’m motivated by seeing my clients succeed. I have witnessed my clients out-perform their previous bests, and accomplish things beyond their expectations.  Whether it is getting to a specific body fat percentage, bench pressing a weight greater than their all time best, or running their fastest 40-yd dash, my clients will sometimes laugh because I get so excited about their accomplishments!  These changes take hard work and dedication and I love to see them rewarded for their efforts. My job is to inspire my clients, but little do they know that their hard work pushes me to complete that extra rep as well.  “Let’s uncover your all time best!” 

Specialties

I specialize in strength and conditioning. I have an exceptional understanding of the concepts and exercises necessary to trigger the hormonal responses that promote strength and muscle size increases. In order to minimize injury and maximize muscle group usage, I adhere to strict form fundamentals and techniques for all levels of clients regardless of experience.  In addition, all exercises are performed under complete supervision to modify the desired training results.  Some training programs may require additional client work; a training calendar will be provided to guide workouts during non-session hours.
