Introduction: My life has been dedicated to helping people- from my previous career working with developmentally disabled children/adults, at-risk youth, and shut in seniors, to my current professions as a FF/Paramedic and Fitness/Nutrition Coach, I am here to help those willing to transform their own lives. Plus, I am one of the ONLY GymnasticBodies Affiliates in the country. That is a BIG deal in and of itself. In addition, I am a Precision Nutrition coach. PN is the leading nutrition certification company in the WORLD. I love the familial aspect of my job- I have developed very close relationships with my clients and we often socialize outside of scheduled training sessions. I really LOVE hearing clients excited about trying on an old pair of pants that they outgrew, only to realize that they fit again. Finally, I am dedicated to learning about the overall aspects of fitness by reading the latest scientific research on nutrition, exercise science, and wellness.

You cannot put a price tag on feeling the best physically you have in years. Aric has opened my eyes and subjected my body to a form of training that was entirely foreign to me (and will be to many other former athletes, weekend warriors, or sedentary desk workers), and yet something I now believe is absolutely vital to almost all human beings. Training with Aric will improve your FLEXIBILITY (increased range of motion, decreased pain, and increased strength through proper muscle function), BALANCE, CONCENTRATION (Train Mindfully as Aric would say), COORDINATION, and of course STRENGTH. An unanticipated benefit is that it may also have you BREATHING BETTER (improved endurance, less anxiety, more energy) than you ever have before. Here's a little about my story that may ring a bell to many people out there: I was a former college soccer player who had suffered a couple sport-related injuries left me unable to find my way back to the field for about 2 years. I had tried multiple physical therapists, chiropractic, you name it to regain my athletic prowess. What I DIDN'T realize that the things affecting me most weren't my ankle or knee surgeries, but rather the imbalances, weaknesses, and compensations I had developed from years of bad posture sitting in a desk job and doing traditional workouts at the gym. MANY IF NOT ALL of you have these without realizing it and you're robbing yourself of feeling and performing your best.To give you an idea of the types of issues I was dealing with and you may be dealing with here are a few examples: anterior pelvic tilt, shortened hip flexors, hip misalignment, tight neck, inflexible shoulders, tight pectoral muscles (thanks a lot bench press), weak core strength (six pack "abs" are not core strength), and more. These types of things DO NOT go away in a workout or two as they're built up over a number of years; your body is great at adapting (unfortunately in most cases with people who work a 9-5 at a desk this is a bad thing). I can pretty confidently say that Aric is one of the only personal trainers in the DC area adept at identify these types of issues, and coming up with the perfect plan to correct them. If you are an athlete looking to improve your performance or return after an injury, a sedentary desk worker experiencing back or knee pain, or just ANY HUMAN BEING give Aric a call. I guarantee that his breadth of knowledge and mindful training techniques will have you feeling better than you have in years. If you want an overnight solution I recommend you stop reading this right now and go back to whatever fantasy land you live in. If you're willing to be patient and put in the time and effort it takes to see improvement the RIGHT way (i.e. helping your body versus hurting it more through "traditional" methods) then I highly suggest you get in with Aric before his business blows up and he no longer has time for new clients. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle.

I have been working with Aric for about 2 months so far and am so happy with the way my experience has been personalized and tailored for my needs. Aric is a warm and dedicated individual who is not scared to push me to ensure I meet my goals. One of the best things about working with Aric is that he introduces you to an overall program which helps to change the way you see exercise, nutrition, and day-to-day life in general. I initially went to Aric to become stronger and fitter but have begun to realize there are multiple ways I can reach these goals, not just through brut force training. I always feel better after going into the gym to get my bi-weekly butt kicking!

It was truly a pleasure to have met and trained with Aric-- He's an incredibly kind person and I wish there were more people like him in the world! I worked with Aric the day before my friend's wedding for a private Gymnastic Bodies workout and it was just the right amount of challenging. Wish I lived in the area so that I could work with Aric to meet my long-term fitness goals! He's an incredible trainer and person-- hire him, you won't be sorry!

How did you get started doing this type of work?
It was a natural evolution- my post graduate life has been about working in professions that help people. Fitness coaching is just a natural extension of that. As a FF/Medic, I see people in immediate distress. It can be stressful. As a fitness coach, I am able to help people BEFORE they need me in an emergency. I get to help prevent a lot of the health problems I see in emergency situations. Yin/Yang....
