About

Gregory is an ACE-certified personal trainer with a Bachelors of Health Science, and Minor Emphasis of Gerontology, from Slippery Rock University. Having an extensive history in health and fitness research, and first hand application of the knowledge he has accumulated over years of observation and experimentation, his personal practice not only delivers the aesthetic results which clients most often seek, but more importantly, focuses a lot on true health and lifestyle balance. This includes addressing such things as nutrition, safe and effective exercise, stress management, and a host of health-related habits that are at the root of issues which significantly affects wellbeing, and also limits progress for most people. He specializes in strength training, but is credible and available for helping with various other goals clients may have. This may explain why he has been able to retain active and satisfying long term relationships with clients, training them through their progressive goals. His personal goals and objectives include providing clients with the awareness, support and tools needed to assist them in their journey. Not only does he give “on premise” guidance and support throughout workouts, but he goes further with support by offering suggested resources which he has compiled, remaining available for contact and correspondence between sessions, and giving special encouragement to client’s development of self-efficacy in their exploration of health, training and nutrition. Essentially working with them for as long as it’s needed for them to feel they have gained the necessary confidence and improved self-mastery and self-control in their lives, helping them help themselves. When creating programs he tailors the program individual, and not the individual to the program! While he acknowledges and addresses body development as being important, he emphasizes non-aesthetic aspects of health/wellbeing as a central focus!
