Fitness has been a major piece of my life for numerous years. I have always been an active person since when I was a toddler. I have played sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball, and football. I... started my fitness journey back when I was 13 years old and never looked back. I found a true passion for weightlifting and athletic training. The gym has taught me numerous lessons in life, consistency will provide results, dedication will provide results, strong willpower will develop results, and there is no substitute for hard work. I have applied these lessons that the gym taught me and applied them to numerous aspects of my life. There is nobody but YOU to improve your well-being. I have trained numerous clients within the gym, from beginners to intermediate gym-goers. Weight training is a science, form is so important to complete exercises to maximize results while keeping your body healthy and injury free.
