I get a charge out of what I do for a living!My job as as an NYC personal trainer, in a nutshell, is to bounce you off the couch and off the sidelines, teach you how to exercise well, and ignite a process that delivers results. I come to you (your home or in-building gym) so it shortens your workout commute and eliminates the excuses that get in the way of exercise. Can you roll out of bed and slip on your gym shoes? Then you have what it takes to get in shape with my workouts.I am a trained, and possibly born, Physical Educator. I have a feel for people. I enjoy helping adults of all ages, shapes and sizes identify and develop their fitness potential and make a difference in their lives. I’ve been fortunate to spend more than 20,000 hours with clients and my average tenure/duration working with individuals is 2 ½ years. My passion was kindled on the ball fields and wrestling mats of Villa Park, Illinois, where I experienced “meaning in movement,” a subject I formalized in graduate school with a thesis entitled, “Quasi-Religious Experience in Sport.” Today that drive expresses itself in my own workouts, recreation with friends, and with my ongoing study of the exquisite structure and function of the human body. In 2006, I moved to New York from Princeton, New Jersey, to work with the very best in the fitness business. My mentors and colleagues include: Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method; Lorna Kleidman, fitness author and multi-time World Kettlebell Sport champion, and Alec Helner and Debbie Parsons, assessment-driven functional exercise gurus. I enjoy the learning and excel at translating that knowledge into ever better practices for use with my clients.
