Certifications & Awards

Certified Personal Trainer

Fitness training has been proven to prevent disease, strengthen your health and improve your confidence and outlook on life.  So if you want to live a stronger and more confident life, I can help you every step of the way with muscle mechanics to flexibility and cardiovascular dynamics.

Fitness Nutrition Specialist

Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition can hold people back.  I can help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.

 

Group Personal Trainer

If you prefer training in a group setting, my knowledge and experience allows me to design and modify training programs as needed to meet your individual needs.
