Personal Trainer Overview
My clients range all ages, body types, fitness levels and exercise experience, from first-time gym users to experienced triathletes and everyone in between.
Training Philosophy
Every training routine is based on goals that YOU set. You tell me where you want to go, I plot the course, and go there with you.
I am here to educate and guide you, motivate and encourage you. Push you past your old limits.
I am a big advocate of weight / resistance training. No routine should be without it. You can't expect to stay lean or strong without ensuring you have adequate muscle to burn calories. That doesn't mean you have to "get big,' but it does mean you need to at least maintain optimal muscle tone. I'm not going to spill all my secrets here, but please get in touch with me to discuss in more depth.
Education
I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the NSCA and have been training for the last 8 years. As part of my academic program, I was trained as a mat-based pilates instructor by Power Pilates.
I am a New York State licensed Physical Therapist, specializing in Orthopedics and sports medicine, and am credentialed by the American Physical Therapy Association as clinical instructor for physical therapy students.
Bio
I am involved in research at HSS, working on a study with Hunter DPT students to identify the impact of physical therapy on length of hospital stay.
I have given several presentations at HSS on topics including “ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation,” “Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition: From ACL to OA,” and most recently an education seminar open to the public on “Customize a Fitness Plan for You.”
