As a trainer I focus on creating integrated and diverse training programs for clients that include cardiovascular, strength training and flexibility components.  Core training is a speciality of mine and I incorporate multi-joint exercises that help strengthen the body through its natural movement patterns. Not to say abdominal specific movements don’t have their place, but I like to utilize total body movements that integrate the entire core. As well as working in the gym setting,  over the last few years I have been broadening this knowledge as a trainer by studying therapeutic exercise and working with patients at Walter Reed Hospital.

I have a BS in Health and Physical Education, am a Certified Personal Trainer(NASM), a Certified Medical Exercise Specialist(AAHFRP),  and Certified Massage Therapist(NMTI).

Certifications:

National Academy of Sports Medicine(NASM)-Certified Personal Trainer

American Academy of Health, Fitness, and Rehabilitation Professionals(AAHFRP)- Medical Exercise Specialist

National Massage Therapy Institute(NMTI)-Certified Massage Therapist

HKC-The Hardstyle Kettlebell Certification, is a introduction not only into the basic moves of Kettlebell lifting, but also instills the idea of Hardstyle exercising. It is a bit of a precursor to the RKC.

Education:

BS Frostburg St. University, Major in Health and Physical Education
