About Me
Philosophy
I train a wide variety of clients consisting of elite athletes of all ages who have competitive sport ambitions, to those who struggle with weight management or basic motor function. My training style is to use your own body for your benefit. Machines definitely serve a purpose for a time, but being able to control and move your body effectively is what will empower you more than anything.
Nutrition & Cardio
I am committed to having clients understand the basics of nutrition and how food affects the body. My overall belief about nutrition is that carefully transitioned lifestyle changes are often essential to meet a client’s goals. General perceptions about cardio are incomplete amongst most people; but science-based recommendations will absolutely have beneficial results on the body, inside and out.
Supplements
Supplementation can be a slippery slope with people. In order to simplify my view, I will say that when there is a gap for additional nutrients or energy, the correct supplement can fill that need; however, I believe it is always the goal to have natural foods meet the needs your body most craves.
Approach
I tailor-make programs for every client in order to build confidence and trust, so we can accomplish your goals together. I believe the human spirit is disciplined and motivated enough to accomplish most anything you put your mind to. When we follow this integrated approach, along with knowledge and accountability, people achieve their fitness goals. Changing the body for the better is more easily accomplished when you have the right attitude . . . and coach.
