FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Health Promotion, a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) professional certification from the National Strength & Conditioning Association, and nearly a decade of refining my personal training skills. I am one year into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at UW-Madison.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with a wide range of people. Some highlights include a 97-year-old man, a Division 1 golfer and a Division 1 basketball player, a teenager with cerebral palsy, a German football team, high school athletes of all sports, and numerous people trying to lose weight. I've reached so many types of people that I feel comfortable training anyone effectively.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure they are educated in real science, and thus not prone to accepting fads as fact. Finding a trainer with a bachelor's degree in the field is huge in regards to the quality and intelligence of training you'll receive. I recommend meeting with the trainer (before starting workouts with them) to see if your personality matches with their coaching style, because that will determine how much you enjoy spending time training with them and ultimately how much you gain from the experience.
