FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My one-hour sessions are $80 and fully customized to your body, goals, and fitness level. If budget is an issue, we can talk more about options when we meet. I know personal training is an investment—and I treat it that way, with thoughtful planning, science-backed strategy, and heart. I’ve worked with many clients to find creative, flexible options. Progress should never feel out of reach when you're truly ready to take that first step.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a free phone meet-and-greet where we chat about your goals and answer any questions. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a complimentary one-hour session in my private home gym. That first session lets me see how your body moves, what you’re ready for, and what you truly need. From there, I design a customized program that fits you — your goals, your fitness level, and your pace. I focus on form, progress, and making the work feel both challenging and rewarding. We work hard, but we also laugh. I bring a sharp eye for detail, high standards (in the best way), and a welcoming vibe that helps you stay consistent and feel proud of what you're building.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Looking back, I can clearly see how everything I’ve done led me here — it was less of a career change and more of a natural progression through four defining chapters: 1. Karate (Teen Years): This is where it all began — where I first felt the thrill of explosive, ballistic power and discovered my gift for precision, focus, and leadership. I trained hard, climbed fast (all the way to 2nd-degree black belt), and taught large adult classes, even as a teen. In that dojo, I stood out. My academic learning challenges didn’t hold me back. I could excel in this environment — and I did. 2. The Gym Years (20s–50s): After karate, I became a proud gym rat. I trained 5–7 days a week and fell in love with strength training, cardio machines, and high-energy group classes. My body transformed — lean, muscular, defined — and so did my confidence. I trained with friends, learned proper technique, and felt powerful in my body. Once again, I found a space where I could excel. 3. Boxing (50's-present): Years later, when I took my daughters to a boxing gym, it all came flooding back — the same raw, electric energy I felt in karate. The sound of gloves hitting bags, the music, the focus, the sweat... I signed up that day. I trained with a vengeance and never looked back. Boxing re-awakened my love for martial arts and gave me a new channel to challenge myself physically and mentally. I felt whole again. Once again: I could excel. This work isn’t just what I do — it’s who I’ve always been. Becoming a trainer wasn’t a reinvention. It was the most natural next step I could possibly take.
