Personal Trainer Overview

Personal performance training needs to be safe, effective and fun for optimal results. Evaluation of your body in movement combined with the sport specific requirements create the foundation for your training. If your goal is to improve your recreational or competitive sport, I believe I can help you.

Training Philosophy

I believe optimal results require not just training knowledge but an ability to COACH a person. The best results are an outcome of 1. understanding athlete's needs and goals. 2. Creating a system/program that will deliver the results. 3. Coaching and training with high integrity, personal touch and the right training tools. I use functional training methods for the core, sport specific drills, speed, agility and quickness as well as balance, coordination and strength. The human body needs all components of movement in order to become successful.
