My Certifications

ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer

It's no secret - fitness training has been proven to prevent disease, strengthen your health and improve your confidence and outlook on life. As a certified fitness trainer, I'm deeply trained in everything from muscle mechanics to flexibility and cardiovascular dynamics. So if you want to live a stronger and more confident life, I've got the training and the expertise to help you every step of the way.

ISSA Specialist in Strength & Conditioning

Until recently, most people believed that power athletes are born and not made. That has changed. Modern training techniques can make anybody faster, stronger, and more powerful. Athletes at all levels - from grade school to the NFL - can sharpen their competitive edge with the help of an expert trainer. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you expand your body's capacity for challenging athletic feats while remaining strong and free from injury.

ISSA Elite Trainer

The ISSA Elite Trainer credential is awarded to accomplished ISSA Certified Trainers who have proven their competence in personal training and developed expertise in two additional areas of specialization. With scientific backing and practical application in the areas clients need help with the most, this credential proves that extensive education equals results.

ISSA Certified Elite Trainer

ISSA Certified Nutritionist

Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a \"real world\" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.

ISSA Certified Glute Specialist

Glute Specialist

A Glute Specialist is well-versed in the musculature of the glutes and the lumbopelvic hip complex (LPHC).

The LPHC has a large role in the activation of the glutes and the muscles of the LPHC work to stabilize the hips, low back, and glutes.

It also serves as the transition from the upper body to the lower body and is sometimes called the core.

Having strong glutes will over all keep your core and knees strong. You have back pain??? Not for long if you train with one of my glute programs.

Elite Trainer

An elite-level personal trainer is a trainer who is considered "the cream of the crop." This person has advanced fitness knowledge and skills. They know how to help a client reach their fitness goal with more than just exercise.

An elite personal trainer has an in-depth understanding of nutrition. I know the difference between macronutrients and micronutrients, and the value each offers. I understand what a balanced meal plan looks like, as well as how to create one.

As a higher level trainer, I specialized knowledge in multiple additional areas. I know about functional movement and injury prevention. In addition to one-on-one training sessions, I am a strength coach and teach group HIIT classes.

An elite personal trainer does all of these things. They are like several personal trainers rolled into one. They have the knowledge required to address a variety of issues and areas of fitness.
