Becoming a Personal Fitness Trainer has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.  I am dedicated to bettering the health of my clients, my family and my friends.  I do not believe there are any guarantees in life but I do believe that we have a profound impact on the outcome of our future.  Through hard work and dedication you can achieve anything you desire. We all have our boundaries and though I would like to help you test them, I would never put you in harms way.  It is my responsibility to protect and care for your safety at all times.

My background is in physical therapy with strong attention to injury prevention and rehabilitation.  I teach a variety of group and individual classes to include, Yoga, Pilates, Body Sculpting and Abs classes.  I maintain a deep passion for nutrition and helping others to find a better understanding of it.  Though athleticism has come naturally for me, I do know that it is not natural for everyone.   Together we can find a balance that not only fits your lifestyle but also compliments your very nature.

 I am a Thirty-year-old U.S. Army Veteran; I am proud and honored to share with you the dedication to duty that I have learned from those before me.  I have traveled the world and experienced many different cultures.  None have been as welcoming to me as this area of the south and the people that occupy its shores.  I am excited and grateful to be here. 

Please feel free to contact me at any time.  No question or concern is too small.  Thank you for your patronage, it has been graciously given and most gratefully accepted. 
I am looking forward to serving you.

 

                                                                        Sincerely,

A personal trainer provides certain benefits that you can't find when working out on your own. Here are nine reasons a personal trainer may be right for you.

Motivation
One of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is that they loss motivation to stick with a consistent exercise program. Certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability, and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health.


Individualized program
If you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.

Efficiency
Personal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting your time doing inefficient workouts. A personal trainer has a plan and will help you get maximum results in minimum time.

Improve technical skills
If you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques specific to your sport. The Trainer will incorporate skills training into your program so you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility and mental focus as well.

You are new to exercise
If you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach. A good trainer will introduce you to a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.

Break through plateaus
Ok, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you've been there for years. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.

Learn how to go it alone
If you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your own routines so you don't need to use a personal trainer, going for a few months may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results.

Workout Safely
A personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and can provide objective feedback about your limits and strengths. Most of us tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. We either push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personal trainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, they can help push you or slow you down as necessary.

Lose Weight
There is a good reason that the number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape -- it works. If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.
