Personal Trainer Overview
I have had the opportunity to train many elite athletes including a former first round NBA draft pick, the second youngest professional soccer player ever drafted, an Olympic level snowboarder, and several NHL hopefuls. I have also continually developed and re-crafted my personal training style. Initially buying into the industry norms, I have now taken it upon myself to develop and use a better brand of personal training.
Training Philosophy
To be blunt, I don’t really believe in cardio. We have been told for years that we have to do obscene amounts of cardiovascular activity and starve ourselves to get the body we want. The truth is that this mindset has actually done more harm than good. Especially when it comes to your physique. Long story short, you need to lift.
