My favorite client story

I recently worked with a 54 year old woman who was looking to lose weight. She was unsure of herself when it came to exercise but was willing to step out of her comfort zone because she realized that exercise was necessary if she wanted to maintain her mobility and independence as she aged. We started training slowly using basic beginner exercises that would increase strength and improve flexibility and systematically added exercises that were more difficult but appropriate for her fitness level. This process helped increase not only her strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health but also helped boost her confidence. When we began training we met twice a week then stepped down to once per week. After a year and a half she lost over 50 pounds and felt comfortable enough to join a gym and begin working out by herself in front of other people.

My favorite exercise

I love the squat press which is a compound lifting exercise that involves both the squat and the push press performed in a single motion. It increases both aerobic and anaerobic strength in shoulders and arms, as well as the major leg muscles, and increases range of motion , flexibility, and balance.

My favorite quote

My training philosophy

"Absorb what is useful; reject what is useless." - Bruce Lee
My philosophy is to use whatever training methods help my clients reach their goals, keep them interested, provide enjoyment, and get results. I train clients with many different goals, ability levels, and fitness levels therefore, I constantly research exercises and exercise methods and apply them to training.

My training experience

As a child and teenager I was always active and played a variety of sports. Upon graduating from High School I enlisted in the US Army Infantry where I proudly served for 3 years. After completing my regular Army enlistment, I signed up for the CT National Guard where I served another 2 years. During my time in the National Guard, I worked full-time and attended Southern Ct State University Full-time. During this period I was constantly on the go and being a young man in my 20's, I didn't pay particular attention to my diet. Additionally during this period I got married and had twin boys. As with most people, family and work obligations took up a significant amount of my time and exercise just wasn't a priority. Slowly but surely the weight snuck up on me and I found myself heavier than ever and out of shape like never before. After not exercising for several years, I decided to start training again and attempted to run the standard 2 mile Army run I had done so many time before. However, after several years of inactivity I wasn't even able to run a mile. This was the moment I decided to get myself back in shape and began the process of reclaiming my health. After getting back in shape and falling in love with working out like never before, I found myself helping family, friends, and co-workers with diet and exercise advise. After helping two co-workers lose a combined 80 pounds I felt as if I'd found my calling and decided to get my Personal Training Certification in 2013.
