Training Specialties:
Cross Training (Running, weightlifting, bodyweight exercises)
Education and Certification:
ACE Certified Personal Trainer
Training Philosophy:
Pursuing your fitness can be hard. Sometimes you feel stuck in your journey and need someone to get you more comfortable in the gym or more confident in your exercises. That's when looking for a professional can be helpful, especially if they love what they do. I enjoy a very hands-on approach where I can give feedback to clients and check in with how they're feeling or answer any questions they have about what should be happening. I also encourage client input when making a plan for them, so that I can get a good gauge of what they are interested in and what will help them best.

Small team sports, working out, casual video games
