About

I have a strong belief that people can be fit and healthy at any age. At 77 years old I know what it feels like to have those aches and pains when you're over 50. I've lived with them and worked through them. My personal experience allows me to create programs for all my clients that are relevant and reflective of my knowledge of senior health and aging issues. My approach to exercise is grounded in my personal experience as a senior and a trainer for over 30 years as a gym owner, teacher and coach. My clients stay with me because I care about them. Each and every session is about you, the person. Developing a relationship and understanding what your needs, goals, and objectives are paramount in my training programs. Programs are designed to train each client in all components of health and fitness including functional, strength, agility, coordination, metabolic and nutrition using HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), suspension training, strength, and agility. Familiarity with the psychology of aging is an important aspect of being a successful trainer of mature adults. As a senior myself, I have firsthand knowledge of what we experience as we grow older. I have also studied the effects of aging in all phases in great detail and have an in-depth understanding of the aging process and a recognition of the desires, goals, and aspirations of mature adults. I also work closely with my clients and their doctors to facilitate their post-rehab needs.

I asked Tom to design an exercise routine that would increase the range of motion in my shoulders. I was experiencing pain and discomfort in both shoulders and had to eliminate some exercises from my routine. Tom designed such a routine that included stretching the shoulders a number of different ways and he replaced the exercises that I had dropped because of shoulder discomfort with new ones that were less stressful on the shoulders but achieved the same results as those previous exercises. He also got me on a high protein and good carb diet. I stopped eating beef, pizza, pasta, white bread, added more vegetables and lean protein from poultry and fish. I’m happy to say that I’ve lost over 35 pounds in a slow gradual manner, while keeping my muscle mass and strength intact. I don’t consider this a “diet” as some fad diets are, but it’s how I will eat forever, providing proper fuel for my body so that I can continue my strength exercises well into my older years. Tom continues to monitor my workout routine to assure I am doing my exercises properly. It’s kind of like having a coach on premises during my workouts. Thanks for everything Tom M!

Pricing varies as to the type time and location. usually between $35.00 and $50.00 per session.

When I meet a new client the first thing I try to do is get an understanding of their needs and goals. Building a rapport with my clients is of utmost importance as well as having empathy for their particular situation. Then working together to design a program will stimulate them and is tailored just for them with achievable goals.

In order to be a Certified Personal Trainer, Continuing Education is mandatory. I am an ACE certified Personal Trainer as well as a FAI certified group exercise trainer.

I've also completed courses in High Intensity Interval Training and have CPR and AED qualifications from American Heart Association.
