Training Philosophy

Your first session he will ask about your goals, past injuries and eating habits. No one has exactly the same goal and starting point, therefore no one should have the same training program. More importantly, he will start you out on a individualized plan based on your fitness level so that you get a great workout, but not a "sore for a week" type of workout. He has helped clients with all types of goals such as weight loss, strength training and sport specific conditioning; as well as medical challenges and conditions including rehabilitation and post surgery rehabilitation.
