Experience 35 years
Location Alexandria, VA

I have conducted over 10,000 of personal training with over 600 clients. I work with clients who have had massive surgeries (hip replacements, shoulder reconstruction, car accidents, rifle damage, etc.) to active military and police. I specialize in weight loss, strength training, and correcting movement mechanics (kinesiology.) I have a bachelors in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins and a Juris Doctorate from Rutgers. I choose to be a personal trainer so that I can help people move better and improve the quality of their life. Whether it’s unlocking confidence they didn’t know they had, or changing the way they look at fitness, personal training is my opportunity to help others. In addition to using the principles and teaching of M|WOD, I also integrate Muscle Activation Techniques and Muscle Energy Techniques to strengthen weakened muscles. For range of motion testing, I utilize Gray Cook’s FMS, 3DMAPS, M|WOD foundational patterns. For partner stretching, I utilize Astanga Yoga Asanas and Kit Laughlin’s Partner Stretching Methodology. I have 5 Mobility Certifications. Mobility is all about retraining your muscles and connective tissue to move better. It enhances all aspects of fitness because when you move better you train better. My training sessions focus on providing athletes with exercises that they have sufficient range of motion and control to execute safely. Through integrating mobility into all personal training sessions, we reduce injury rates and help clients break through strength plateaus.

What to Expect

My coaching style is all about customizing the personal training session to your goals, fitness level, and biomechanics. I scale personal training sessions through progressions and regressions so that they are safe for you, always analyzing risk of injury vs reward. Sessions with are going to be tough, but tough in a way that you know it’s going to work. You are going to feel in sore in muscles you never knew you had. You going to learn a lot about fitness and physiology, and transform in a stronger version of yourself.

Client Success Story

What I wanted: A trainer that wasn’t going to bully me or make me feel inadequate about being over 40, on the fat side and not as fit as I was when I was 20. I wanted a private setting, where I would be able to improve without people judging me. What I got: A life enhancing education that I didn’t know I needed. What I didn’t know I didn’t know: That I had been exercising ineffectively and inefficiently for years. Exercising with focused intention on specific muscle groups makes things happen really quickly. By looking at what, when and how much I ate, I became aware of habits that I had been blissfully unaware of. With an understandable education of what and when to eat, body fat falls off, muscle builds and energy levels start climbing. Where I’m at now: Able to maintain fitness and weight with the knowledge, information and techniques I’ve been given. Enjoying a fitness and vitality that I’m not sure I had even when I was 20. The proud owner of a brand new wardrobe. Michael, Dean of Medicine.
