My favorite client story

I had an elderly gentleman of 65 years come to me because he struggled with weight 285lbs, had type 2 diabetes, struggled with PTSD and had little endurance and energy. Using my training methods and incorporating HIIT and Martial Art Techniques, after 6 months my client had greater endurance, increased energy, went down to 225lbs, no longer had to take diabetes medication and is living a healthier and happier life.

My favorite exercise

Performing Martial art patterns with high intensity.

My favorite quote

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

My training philosophy

I believe in addressing the core first as it is fundamental for the peak performance of all other parts of the body. I strive to heighten functionality through balance and stabilization, movement and load training. Then I will strive to improve cardiovascular efficiency through aerobic and anaerobic training. Overall you will experience increased flexibility, cardio vascular endurance, increased strength and optimal health.
