Personal Trainer Overview

I train clients according to their fitness goals and needs. I provide group training (3-4 people) as well as individual training sessions. I have a huge variety of equipment, ranging from the Power Plate, Gravity Training systems, Functional trainer, Gravitron, Free Weights, Tubing, Bosu, Balls, Med Balls, Discs, Slides, Cardiovascular Equipment (Ellipticals, Treadmill, Rower).

Training Philosophy

A new client will go through an evaluation which includes a medical history, goals, blood pressure, BMI, Body composition test, circumference measurements, cardiovascular test with heart rate monitor, strength tests, and flexibility tests. A basic nutrition program is discussed and if needed, a doctor's clearance is required.

Depending on the needs of the client, a workout program is created. I have clients who want to lose weight and get fit. I have clients that want sport specific programs such as tennis, golf, swimming, baseball, volleyball, etc. I have many clients with medical conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Hypertension. Workouts are tailored to their condition and ability to workout. I have doctors who refer Post-rehab patients to me. I have helped people with ACL reconstructions, Knee problems, spinal problems, sciatica, shoulder, elbow, wrist.

I care about each and every one of my clients. I will do everything in my power to help and motivate them. Personal Training is my passion!

Bio

I have been a personal trainer for over 30 years. I began my fitness career as a group aerobic instructor, teaching classes such as step, strength training, flexibility, high/lo impact, slide and various other formats. I became the aerobic director of a club in New York a few years later. Due to vocal cord injury, I acquired my first personal training certification and started my own business in Connecticut in 1989. My family moved to Florida in 1993 so that I could help my father who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I set up my personal training business here in Tampa in 1994.
