As a former New York City Special Investigator, I apply some of my physical training from the police academy when designing a boot camp style regimen for my clients. This high-octane approach integrates all facets of fitness: cardiovascular health, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. 
 
We usually begin the session with a cardiovascular warm-up and then go to circuits of weight training hitting all body parts with cardio blasts mixed in to really increase the fat burning. Abdominal and core training is also emphasized. The end of the sessions are dedicated to flexibility. 
 
I am able to tailor programs for all types of people. I have successfully trained athletes, rehab patients, senior citizens, and people who want to gain muscle mass or lose body fat. 
 
My expertise has allowed me the opportunity to host fitness infomercials and have fitness/lifestyle articles published by Columbia University. I am certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the Senior Fitness Association and the American Council on Exercise. I also hold degrees from the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University, providing me with extensive knowledge of physical therapy and nutrition. 
 
The best part of personal training is that I get to meet new people constantly and help them change their lives in a fun, safe environment.  I look forward to meeting you and empowering you to reach your fitness goals!
