Personal Trainer Overview

Personal training (one on one, partner, group), bootcamp, nutrition consulting, sport specific training. I have a wide area of expertise. I take time with each client to get to know their needs and goal and how their body responds to exercise and diet best.

Training Philosophy

I believe fitness and eating well will create an optimal life and living conditions. I believe in a combination of weight or strength training, cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and various types of exercise and fitness. Exercise can be done and fitness achieved in various environments, times, and situations. Nutrition and eating well does not need to be difficult, boring, bland, or restrictive. Both fitness and diet is a series of habits that are created that lead us on either a path to success and health or illness and pain.
