Personal Trainer Overview

Personal, realistic, and challenging. Training, nutrition, and lifestyle. Private, semi-private, or online.

Training Philosophy

During our first meeting, we’ll go through your initial assessment and consultation. This allows me to work with you in designing your training program as well as your health goals and nutritional steps. As a local client, you will also gain free access to a training program of 16-minute bodyweight workouts for you to do at home—all delivered in a neat, concise email every Sunday night. In addition to your training inside the facility, we will work together to select realistic and incremental health and nutrition habits that you can begin to practice as we work through your journey. We will keep in touch to keep you accountable as well. As you work through your training program, successfully reach milestones, and build new habits, we’ll make sure to reassess frequently enough to keep your program updated. This way every session will strike the right balance what you want and what you need.

Bio

I began to lift weights in 2004, when I decided I was tired of being weaker and smaller than all my friends. I started reading all the fitness magazines and websites I could find. I made a lot of progress during those first few years and I had friends start asking me to train them. I loved helping them get stronger and feel better. Shortly after I began college in 2008, I met a few intelligent strength coaches that changed a lot of my training paradigms and started introducing me to better informational sources and new training philosophies and methods. The mentorship I received from them was invaluable. During this time I also studied a variety of martial arts, and obtained my Blackbelt in Taekwondo. In 2014 I was able to start coaching at an elite sports performance gym in South Florida where I started learning from more world-class coaches. In 2016, the head coach from that facility brought me along to help him open his own gym in Davie, Florida. Again I was given the chance to learn from even more of the greatest coaches on the planet. In addition to being surrounded by incredible mentors, I have also studied with organizations such as NSCA, NASM, USCDKA, ViPR, and IoM and received certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, ViPR Pro Coach, and more. When I’m not helping people reach their health and fitness goals, I’m probably at church or at home in Pembroke Pines with my wife, Meghan, and our daughters Penelope and Nora.
