About Sam

I have been a certified personal trainer since 1994. I have worked in orthopedic physical therapy clinics with a wide range of patients including those with hip / knee replacements, the severely obese, cardiac patients, patients recovering from back surgery, etc... all with positive results.
In addition to a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology, I have a strong background in biochemistry and nutrition which is often the missing ingredient in most people's success formula, especially when it comes to proper eating habits & weight loss.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
