Personal Trainer Overview
I am a personal trainer with a bachelor of science in Kinesiology and a training certification from the ISSA. I specialize in kinesiology which means i specialize in movement of the body. This means I can help people with balance, coordination, or mobility problems. I also train clients for weight loss, toning, and pain relief. Pain relief could mean pain from surgery, injury, or just overuse.
Training Philosophy
I believe that most people who start exercising feel better. Many of my clients experience easier mobility, better fitness, and weight loss. I like to use functional training, which is a style of training that helps a client become fit while also helping them perform their daily activities with ease. I also believe that strength training is just as important for weight loss and fitness, as cardio is. Strength training has been shown to sustain weight loss longer than just doing cardio and can also help clients that have bone and joint problems, and increase strength to relieve chronic pain.
