I believe that to be a great Personal Trainer you must be so inspiring, encouraging, knowledgeable and positive that the only possible outcome for your client is success! I educate my clients on exercise, nutrition and positive thinking through various books, movies, meditations and my own personal experiences. My mission is accomplished when I can let a client go because I have given them the tools that they need to be the masters of their own health. It is a privilege to be a guide and service to others and I am grateful every day to have such an amazing job!
My mission is to provide a friendly kick in the ass that motivates and inspires you to live a healthy life. What's in it for you? Energy, confidence, and health superpowers! One of my main offerings is online fitness and nutrition coaching. You get workout plans, photos, videos, weekly check-ins with me, and more.
Vegan Fitness & Nutrition expert in Arizona.
I use an old school, barbell-strength-training style. These techniques have been around for hundreds of years for a reason. They work. Sadly, however, they have fallen out of vogue in the exercise world. I’ve brought back these old school techniques to be applied to the modern fitness enthusiast, adapted to the specific goals of the client. Another great thing about my training is that while I help people achieve a plethora of different goals, my focus on strength training (and your resulting fit appearance) is a great advertisement for veganism, demonstrating yet another aspect of fitness for which veganism works perfectly.
As a personal trainer I tailor each workout to ensure every client achieves their individual goals effectively. Whilst my preferred style of training is weight training, as an INSANITY instructor I also enjoy introducing Plyometrics and high intensity interval training. I work with a great variety of clients with goals ranging from weight-loss, to muscle-building, as well as sport specific goals and I work with each one passionately as if their goal were my own.
