My name is Dennis and I am a native of San Pedro,CA. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with my degree in exercise science with a minor in nutrition and athletic coaching. I’ve been training for about 7 years and I’ve been a trainer for 3 years. I am a former college athlete and my current aspirations are to obtain my strength and conditioning certification to work with pro athletes.
First of all I ask questions when I'm working with a new client. What are your goals? What level of experience do you have? What do you enjoy about exercise? What obstacles may be in your way to achieving your goals? It's very important for me to understand what motivates my clients and what pitfalls have disrupted their progress in the past. It is my job to help my clients progress, so I must to have lots of information and details for planning appropriately. From a more scientific stand point, it is also important to collect data to know where we are starting from and define the goals ahead. I take anthropometric data like weight, height, body fat percentage. I look at movement patterns to check for deficiencies, compensations or imbalances that may inhibit progress. I record performance records to track improvement. Then I periodically invest time in reassessing the progress to motivate the client to perform better.
My client Stephanie Dela Garza came to me a year ago. With a goal to lose weight and feel more comfortable with her body. Since training with me for a whole year Stephanie has lost over 135 lbs.
