FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I do a lot of continuing education work. I will read a variety of college textbooks dealing with biomechanics, anatomy, periodization, nutrition and strength and conditioning. I also do more continuing education that is required of me because I really love reading the research and also because I want to be the best at what I do. My continuing education comes from but not limited to regional and national conferences, research papers and recent college textbooks, online proficiency tests and exams.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common types of jobs that I get are from housewives wanting to get back or stay in shape, former college athletes looking to stay in shape, business executives and owners trying to relieve stress, triathletes and ironmen trying to improve performance and everyday people looking to lose weight or build muscle.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I have been working with a former Penn State All American lineman who had balloneed in weight since he left college. I set him up with a dietitian that I work with since he is type 1 diabetic and devised a cardio and resistance training program that would help him to lose weight and improve his cardiovascular conditioning. He came to us weighing in at 360 lbs late October 2010 and just weighed in last week at 278.8 lbs! You know what gets me so amped about his story because he does not live in the Washington DC area and he followed the program and the goals that the dietitian and I had set up for him and he is losing the weight without us being there physically! He is a new person physically and mentally because of the program!
