Personal trainer with a solid 15 years of dedicated weight training, with a lifetime of cardio.

My clients report feeling that their program is very individualized and my support through this individualized tailoring and attention has ensured their success in the long run. Also they say that I inspire them to be the best, strongest, and most empowered versions of themselves, whatever that has meant within their end goals. This is because I model this, it seems. Also able to work with vegetarian/vegan athletes and weight trainers, as I have been working out the nutrition for this myself over the past 18 years. I am extremely up to date on the latest tren
