Introduction: An owner operator of several small businesses over the years, I understand the fear and trepidation of striking out on your own. I also understand the joy of following your passion and finding a balance between doing what you love and getting paid what you're worth. I am passionate about education, fitness and community service. For years, I worked training police officers, firefighters, and EMTs, creating programs that provide the best results in the smallest amount of time, and maintain physical readiness. I offer both in person sessions as well as online training and programming. I specialize in optimized training programs that have been scientifically demonstrated to provide quick and lasting results. I have worked in corporate fitness, helping large companies reduce healthcare costs by addressing employee health and wellness issues including (but not limited to) all aspects of time-/stress-management, smoking cessation, weight control, nutrition, and chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.) I firmly believe that a good trainer, life coach, or wellness expert must always keep in mind that behavior modification is at the root of our work. The advice I give you won't matter unless I can figure out how to motivate you to make the changes necessary to implement it. As an NSCA certified CSCS, I worked with many private clients as well as student athletes. Duties included evaluating performance and prescribing sport specific exercises aimed at improving performance. I am proud to have worked with athletes from all of Humboldt State University's teams (D-II) including football, basketball, softball, crew, track and field and powerlifters. I also have extensive experience working with older populations, creating strength programs aimed at improving balance, fall-prevention, and increasing quality of life. As a capoeira instructor I help people gain the strength and confidence to preform acrobatic movements and defend themselves should the need arise. I also worked with a local non-profit (The Ink People) to make classes available to socio-economically disadvantaged children. I am comfortable and experienced in evaluating and creating exercise programs for many population types including special-, elderly-, youth-, athletes-, and general-population.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a discount of 5% for customers who purchase packages of 10 sessions and 10% for those that purchase 20 sessions. Also, I offer a 5% discount to any client who's recommendation leads to another client booking 5 or more sessions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to have a conversation with a customer concerning their goals, any limitations/injuries, what exercises or exercise programs they like/hate, what has or hasn't worked in the past, and their level of availability. Once this is done, we set up an initial assessment workout, where we run through a few basic exercises and examine form, strength and endurance. Once this is done I will create a customized program for the client based on their capabilities, designed to help them achieve and maintain their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Master's degree in exercise science (graduated with honors). My research has won several awards. I have been an author or co-author on several research projects that have been published and/or selected for presentation at ACSM's national conferences. I have been a trainer at the college level (DII), as well as for professional fire departments and police departments. I have been a martial arts instructor (capoeira) for 10 years.
