I have been exercising and training (weight training, running, kayaking, biking, Martial Arts, etc.) for over 10 years. Six years ago, I lost a WHOPPING 50 lbs. without crazy diets, starvation or gimmicks. I found a way to motivate myself and live a healthier lifestyle. My philosophy on a healthy lifestyle is that it has to be a combination the five components for wellness, all working together to achieve the desired results. Regardless of whether you like to workout in the gym or outdoors, I will help you achieve your fitness goals while educating you and having fun. Click here to see a few more BEFORE photos! |

My fitness philosophy:
To choose to be fit, whatever your definition of fit is, is a personal choice. Friends, partners, even trainers can be a source of great encouragement, but none of them can do it for you. To choose to be fit means to make a personal commitment, a contract with yourself, that you’ll do what it takes and that you’ll persevere through the easy times and though the hard times. It comes with the understanding that in fitness there are no shortcuts or magic potions to have the body or level of fitness that you want.
To choose to be fit is to start in a journey towards a better, healthier, more relaxed, happier, energetic and balanced you. Regardless of age or ability level, it’s a journey of continuous learning and exploration. A journey where we discover our true potential, and sometimes limits. This journey has no real destination for we are always striving towards new goals while we continue to define what is possible.
My training
methodology:
My training methodology is based on my “PER-FORM” approach
to training. I emphasize PERFECT FORM (i.e. quality) over endless
sets (i.e. quantity). Having perfect form when lifting weights is
important for two reasons: 1) If you don’t do the exercises
with the correct movements or technique then you won’t be
able to stress the muscle in the most efficient way to induce a
positive physical adaptation. 2) Sooner or later you will get injured.
My teaching
approach:
I have been teaching and instructing a variety of subjects for most of my life. In this time, I came to learn and understand that not everyone learns the same way. As a teacher, one can not teach in the way that one wants to teach, but we have to do it in a way that's best for our students to learn from. As such, I combine all the different learning styles (by doing, by watching, by listening or a mix of these three) and find creative ways with which best teach you the fundamentals of weight training and how to lead a more balanced, fit and healthy life.
