Introduction: I have some openings certain days between 10:00 am-4:00 pm. I am also available on weekends. For some clients, some sessions may be accomplished via internet, texts, and email. When I first started my training business, I didn't realize that some people would be my clients of fitness/nutrition/health services for a long time. Some clients have been with me for 5, 4, 3, and 2 years. Therefore, I do not have many open slots for additional clients. If you are interested in my services, please ask me about available times; I can send you my current fee schedule. I have earned highly-ranked certifications. From observing gym members (and sometimes trainers), there is much needed correction/instruction of exercise technique. My fees are reasonable compared to many trainers. I am very patient and create programs specific for each client. I have extensive knowledge in "teaching" fitness and exercise science as a result of my highly-ranked fitness certifications and years in education. I keep abreast of current exercise science research, i.e., I know which exercises/technique --(that were ok years ago)---should not be used any longer. Research changes & fitness professionals need to know about the latest research. Every week, in any gym, I see incorrect exercises performed by many people. I also see trainers teaching incorrect/potentially unsafe exercises for their clients...and I think "they should know not to do that." Also, regarding nutrition and weight loss, you will not lose a lot of weight with exercise alone (as many people believe). I love it when a client sees progress and "feels better" as a result of proper nutrition and habitual exercise. Many people do not realize how exercise & lifestyle changes positively affect their health.

Ralph is a well seasoned trainer, he is well prepared and punctual. His approach is built on scientifically informed technique catering to individual goals. He is very careful and keeps in constant touch with the concern physician in case of a pre-exisiting injury. I highly recommend Ralph.

Ralph is very knowledgeable, reliable and affordable - and a really nice person. I have found him to be especially respectful and sensitive to my capacities as an older woman with some physical challenges.

Ralph was an amazing trainer. He introduced new concepts that helped develop my fitness knowledge. I was exposed to diverse dieting strategies and workout routines. I saw the results that I wanted to see overtime. With Ralph, It wasn't just about training someone to earn money. He genuinely cared about my well-being
