FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I perform an initial fitness and body composition assessment. Once we determine your starting point, we can discuss goals that are measureable and attainable within a certain timeframe. We'll discuss any health concerns or injuries you might have, so I can move forward with your training in the most effective and safe way possible. Even in a client who has training experience, I'll always put an emphasis on proper form and usually take a session or two in the beginning to further assess a new client's natural movement patterns.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my training and certification through the National Personal Training Institute of Ohio (NPTI). NPTI is a 600-hour program, equivalent to a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science. The certification program consists of both lecture and practical application. Learning objectives include anatomy and physiology, nutrition, exercise programming and fitness assessments.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have a passion for fitness and strongly believe that living a healthy life has everything to do with exercise and eating well. Before I began working out regularly, my diet and motivation were lacking, and I wasn't in very good shape. Once I decided to make some serious lifestyle changes, I discovered my love for fitness. Now, I want to share it with people to help them achieve greatness and live their best lives!
