Where to begin. Sam is very knowledgeable in the areas of nutrition and exercise. He has been a great resource during the past 8 weeks that we have been working together. He listens to my goals and plans accordingly. He always makes time to answer my questions and believe me when I say they are a lot. 😅 He is approachable and professional. I’ve had multiple scenarios pop up within the time we worked together and he has always been able to adjust my diet and training even when I went on vacation for a week. It’s been a great experience working with Sam! I can’t wait to continue this journey knowing he’s on my corner. Always positive and encouraging. Thank you Sam for your help in my journey.

I was unfortunate enough to start his program a few days before the pandemic created a shelter in place order. Thus he adapted my workout and nutrition plan for indoor plyometrics and relatable meals, which have given me more energy and helped me meet my activity goals while in captivity. I highly recommend!!

Sam is very professional, responsive and results driven! He provided me with a summary of how to approach nutrition in a manner which was not overwhelming! He helped me tremendously in obtaining the goal of learning macro vs micro nutrients and the affect is has on the body! Having the information in the format he provided is priceless!! Thank you so much Sam!!!!!

So far working with Sam has been great! He is super helpful and patient with me! Anytime I have a question about our program he is so quick to respond and he is very reliable and professional! His nutrition and workout plans are easy to follow. I can’t wait to get started again with him and continue on with my fitness journey! If you want a fitness coach that is reasonable in price and challenges you along the way, Sam is the man to go to!

I’ve been training with Sam for more than half a year — and Sam is an excellent personal trainer. When I first reached out to Sam about six months into the pandemic, I had added some weight and hit a rut, so I was seeking a personal trainer in an outdoor setting. Sam really took the time to ask me about my fitness and nutrition goals, and tailored a plan to meet those goals. Sam really knows his stuff — every month that I’ve been working out with him, I can see ongoing progress, increasing strength, and making progress to meeting fitness goals, including losing some of that pandemic weight gain. The progress has also helped me gain more confidence that, yes, these goals are achievable! I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made so far. Sam is highly creative at coming up with all sorts of exercises outdoors in which I have continued making progress with my fitness without needing indoor gym equipment. He brings some equipment, like kettlebells and weighted balls, that work just as well outside as they do inside a gym. And honestly, I don’t miss doing those workouts inside a gym. Sam is a great coach — he’s cheerful and optimistic, asks questions and is a good listener, and can assess your goals and offer a realistic game-plan of how to get there. I continue learning something new from him regularly. There have been a number of times where he’ll know how to teach me to target a specific muscle that I haven’t focused on before, or coach me through ways I can increase strength so I can, for instance, do more consecutive pull-ups. He’s incredibly observant, and can offer suggestions to workout technique that can suddenly make the exercises far more effective. In fact, his workouts, for me, have been staggeringly effective. Sam has a bunch of years of experience coaching people on fitness, and the experience shows. He’s a trainer that has changed my life for the better.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
With nutritionist & trainers, you pay for quality. It's easy to get certified but few trainers actually live and understand a fit lifestyle, let alone can teach others. I charge a flat rate for online coaching (internet personal training) and an hourly rate per session with my personal training (in person) with my knowledge and experience on top of how well I can translate it to my clients, See my profile photos section for more on pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For Personal Training (in person) - Set up a phone call to go over your goals, make sure logistics work and set up a time to meet. - Train in person at a location we agree on. For Online Coaching (internet personal training) - Set up a phone call to go over your goals. - I'll send you a questionnaire to dig in more about your history, goals, lifestyle and food preferences. - I plan everything for you within 3-5 days from scratch. The nutrition, training, cardio and supplement plan. - We check in weekly so I can see how your body is responding and adjust as needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
