Personal Trainer Overview
Level Up Fitness is about helping you achieve your fitness goals, timely, safely and efficiently. We focus on building you up from the bottom, instead of the opposite which prevents injury. With a pay-as-you-go system, it's never been easier and holds you accountable for your results!
Training Philosophy
I believe in the Optimum Performance Training module created by The National Academy of Sports Medicine. It focuses on starting you at the ground floor, which focuses on Stability and works you up to Strength Endurance, then Hypertrophy and so on. I believe making Small, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely goals (S.M.A.R.T) WILL get you the results you want.
I don't believe there are shortcuts to hard work. Hard work is hard work. If workouts were easy, everyone would be in shape. I motivate my clients in different ways, in turn my clients motivate me. It's a two way street. My only requirement for my client is to give me 100% effort. I cannot motivate someone who does not want to be motivated!

Bio
I got involved with fitness when I was in the Military. Once I left, I became a Correctional Officer at Stateville Maximum Security Prison. I started working 16 hour days, and it really started to wear on me. I stopped working out, my eating habits became worse and of course I gained weight. I decided 16 hour days weren't for me and I explored going back to school. Once going back to school I had a TON of free time so I went back to the gym. After a few months, I saw results, my friends saw results, and my family started seeing results. That motivated me. Naturally my friends wanted to start working with me. Fast forward a few months and my friends started seeing results. From that day, I KNEW I wanted to train people. That's how I ended up where I am today!
