Why Personal Training?
I started weight training while on active duty with the Navy over 30 years ago.
Over the years I worked with four personal trainers whom all had a positive impact on me prior to deciding on becoming certified. I wanted to separate the fact from the fiction with strength training.
Training Philosophy
The preventive medicine of proper nutrition and exercise are much less expensive than prescription medicine and cardiovascular surgery. We must take care of ourselves so we will be able to care for those around us. Resistance training is the best way to combat the natural strength decline of aging.
If I can change the gym in your mind from some place intimidating to your new sanctuary, I have succeeded.
There is a special place in my heart for helping older adults improve their mobility.
