Specialized/Nutritionist
I am a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach with 5 years of experience, and I focus on long-term lifestyle change to achieve results. I remember how intimidated I felt my first time in the gym, and how my confidence grew as I got more comfortable with weight training. My goal is to be the trainer I would have wanted when I started working out. My approach to fitness is holistic, looking at how to integrate healthy habits from childhood to old age, allowing you to live life to the fullest. I emphasize correction of muscular imbalances and good exercise form to allow you to reach your fitness and non-fitness goals pain-free.
