I do my best to bring an approach that emphasizes wellness in all areas of fitness: strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and cardio-vascular endurance. My approach is to help the client gain capabilities beyond the simple weight lifting or running/biking, hopefully building skills that they can use all the time in everyday life.

In my training for a functional and fit lifestyle I have tried to find a balance between strength, endurance and flexibility. Often using body weight movements combined to work on functional strength and coordination have helped me throughout my daily life and in my martial arts. I do my best to bring this to my clients so they have success not only with their fitness goals but also in their everyday life and activities. It isn't any good to lack capabilities in your everyday life.

I have a bachelor's in exercise science from the University of West Florida. This degree involved, nutrition, exercise physiology and even balance and mobility work for seniors.

I have taught group fitness classes for 12 years, holding certifications in group exercise and yoga from AFAA and FitTour. I have experience in weight training, boot camp style workouts, group fitness, stability ball work. I have experience with clients up to age 93 with work in special geriatric populations.

My primary passion has been martial arts, having trained kung fu for 16 years, Brazilian jiu-jitsu for 7 and kickboxing for 6.

I have lived in Gainesville for 5 years now, completing a master's degree in philosophy. Personal training has become a passion and I love the more personal experience of helping people reach their goals and improving their life.

Seeing results motivates me, seeing people feeling great and doing well is great.
