(Pictured on right) I have been training clients of all ages since 1991. My focus is helping the individual or small group improve on the specific movements and health concerns that matter to them!

I grew up in Daytona Beach Florida and went in the Marine Corps right after high school in September of 1984. After four years in the Marines, I went to college and played one year of collegiate baseball before some shoulder and elbow injuries limited my career.

While in college, I discovered my passion for exercise science and nutrition. Which led me to this career in fitness training and coaching. I have trained kids as young as 9 years old and adults as old as 96.

I start every client with a Fitness Assessment, to help me see their abilities, strengths and weaknesses. This along with knowing their specific goals helps me to design a weekly workout routine for them to progress towards their desired goals.

The first session starts with assessing posture alignment and flexibility. Then moving to balance movements and functional movements such as, squats and lunges, based on the client’s knee stability and strength.

Measuring lung capacity on a stationary bike is next in this assessment session.

Then we move to core movements like abdominal and lower back stability movements such as, Seated Knee Raises or Reverse Crunches and Planks and/ or Torso Cable Rotations.

Finally finishing with upper body pushing and pulling movements, such as, Seated Cable Pulldowns, Pushups or Chest Press movements.

There are also compound movements that can be used in this initial session based on how stable, and strong the person is. These movements require a high level of skill, strength, and stability to perform properly.

When clients start showing steady progress in joint stability along with their muscles adapting to this progressive stress put on their muscles and bones, we can add other compound movements such as, Squat to Row or Squat to Press. There are a variety of strength and functional movements that can be performed, with cables and dumbbells or kettlebells.

These different tools offer a variety of challenges to muscles that stabilize the body while engaging larger muscles to execute each rep properly. Proper form and control are probably the most important aspects of training the body! Mindful awareness of feeling and sensing the muscles engaged is also just as important, and maybe the most important part of training and making progress!

My passion for training people of all ages has continued to grow after all these years of helping clients with their specific goals and needs! The learning and growing in all areas of our lives never stops! When we strive for BALANCE in life, we tend to have a desire to learn more about your body and mind and that connection for Quality of life!
