FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been lifting and exercising seriously since I was in sixth grade. I was neck deep into bodybuilding and fitness books at the age of twelve. It wasn't until after high school, while working at my local YMCA as a weight room staff, that members were taking my advice and thanking me for helping them achieve what they never thought was possible. It was then that I knew I found my calling...and that is increasing the quality of peoples lives. As I became more educated in health and fitness the more I shared what I learned with people and the more they shared with their friends. It's kind of a pay it forward concept.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
My most common clients come to me for weight loss. They of course are focusing on just their weight and I educate them that weight gain is just as much a symptom as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. I help them attack the cause(lifestyle habits). We can focus getting the weight off, but it won't be the right way. The right way is acknowledging your lifestyle isn't balance and making the changes within your lifestyle that will put your body back in balance. When the body is in balance so will their health, weight, and mental clarity.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
What I wish customers knew about me is that I am more than a personal trainer that helps you get into shape, but a health and wellness coach that helps promote health from the inside than out. Everyone's health starts at a cellular level and when we can attack our health from that microscopic level we can reach optimal health. I am a holistic trainer that focuses on lifestyle habits. It is our daily habits that lead us either to optimal health or dis-ease. Your body is always looking for homeostasis, and when we can live our daily lives according to how nature intended us then we can reach optimal health and be sick less or not at all.
