Personal Trainer Overview

I have 19 years experience as a physical therapist which will allow me to see a variety of clients. I can incorporate my fitness routines to accommodate for orthopedic, neurological, medical and post partum diagnoses. I am able to work with a wide range in age from pediatric to geriatric clients.

Training Philosophy

I believe that a balance in life is important. Finding at least a half an hour a day to focus on yourself and your health should become a priority. Let me help you on your way to feeling more vibrant, strong and happy. I will perform a comprehensive assessment which will allow me to tailor your personal fitness routine. I will educate you in proper posture, form and body mechanics to prevent injury during the workout. Your exercise program will be based on functional movement patterns to allow you to gain strength and be able to use it in activities of daily living. I will incorporate balance, core stability, flexibility, strength and cardio exercises to help you reach your personal goals. I use body resistance, resistance bands, dumb bells, bosu ball, foam roller, exercise balls and a balance disc. My goal is to build your confidence in exercising to help you develop a healthy and active lifestyle.
