• Post-Rehabilitation Fitness Specialist

• Sports-Specific and Functional Conditioning

“It’s very important for me to break down what the individual wants versus what they might need.  Through observation and communication I am able to develop a program that is effective and efficient – it’s an evolving process.  There is a special uniqueness to each individual and I want to influence his or her activities outside the facility as well.  When people explain to me they strained a muscle bending over to pick up a pencil, then I know their functional strength needs development”.

I make a point of getting to know my clients well, so I can anticipate what will make them succeed or not. Helping my clients discover their range of abilities and building their training strength translates into helping them build muscle and perform everyday tasks with more ease”.

If the client feels ownership of the program, then coming to work with me is more than just having an appointment.  It represents their having incorporated changes into their lifestyle, from what they eat to how they exercise.  When this happens they express pride in the changes they’ve made or, better still, tell me I need to add some weight to the machine. It’s not about pounds, it’s about how they feel.”
