Experience
and Philosophy
I am certified
through the ISFTA (International Sports and Fitness Trainers Association)
and have over 12 years of experience training individuals and groups in:
- weight training
- aerobic conditioning
- increasing cardiovascular capacity and endurance
- weight loss
- stress relief through exercise
- sport-specific skills and techniques
I instruct clients in a gym situation or design programs for people who don't want to join a gym. I like to incorporate as many different exercises as possible, giving the client the freedom to choose variety or a routine workout. I like "efficient" exercises in which several muscles are worked in a particular exercise, and I like to have fun with the workout. I demonstrate all techniques and work in with the client, creating an interactive session. Exercise and diet tips are provided and charting methods are discussed. Body fat and specific measurements are charted and progress is reviewed on a regular basis.
