Life Won’t Wait
"With over 30 years of experience, I help beginners and seniors safely build strength, muscle, and bone density through personalized resistance training so they can move pain-free and enjoy a higher quality of life.”
I’ve been working with people in fitness for over 30 years, mostly beginners and seniors which the majority of the time is the same people. I found, the biggest obstacle most clients encounter is either getting started or obtaining a realistic routine to maintaining a healthy body. The thought of starting a fitness routine later in life can be scary especially when suffering from conditions such as arthritic joints, damaged joints, new joints, spinal complications, osteoporosis, or atrophied muscles.
When working with me I will be by your side walking you through all the different movement patterns which are acceptable to your body as an individual. In my opinion the most important aspect of a healthy body is have a strong body, a body with a high density of bone and muscle. The most efficient method of training to achieving these goals is through resistance training. Together we will arrive at a fitness workout routine that will be a long-term positive contribution to obtaining the strongest and healthiest body possible. The goal is to improve the overall quality of life, having a strong pain free body with minimal restriction of movement is key. A stronger body is a healthier body.
Flexibility with stability is having strong muscles that can extend through a normal range of motion without compromising the integrity of the joints. I specialize in resistance training with the intention of increasing muscle and bone density without comprising movements.
