I am an energetic, dedicated, and outgoing professional who seeks to promote nutrition and health. I am punctual and really enjoy working with people personally to help them maintain their mobility and learn how to most effectively exercise to meet their goals and needs. I have been an athlete for the entirety of my life, played soccer for 16 years and, have been rock climbing for the last 9 years.

Exercise has changed my perspective on life, health, and happiness. I hope to be able to help others recognize their ability to achieve the things they want to improve in themselves, whether they be physical, mental, or health related.

For their first session I would want to get to know a little bit about them and why they have sought out a personal trainer. What are the goals they hope to achieve? Then I would have them fill out a few questionnaires such as the Par-Q+ and health history to evaluate any risk factors they might have to exercise, in addition to a lifestyle questionnaire to gain an understanding of their general living habits. After that, I would conduct assessments including a static and dynamic postural assessment to determine if the client has any issues maintaining a strong base of support and a cardiorespiratory assessment to see how well their heart and lungs are working together to provide oxygen to the muscles during exercise. If the client feels comfortable, we can also take a body composition measurement to help track their progress. Finally, I would write a program that fits their needs and current abilities while still providing a realistic expectation of progress. During regular training sessions, I hope to continue building rapport, supporting them as an accountability partner, and helping them with any corrections they might need in their movement patterns as well as the programming so they can achieve the results they seek.

None yet, but I look forward to having many in the future. Right now, all I can say is that I have inspired friends and family to take their health seriously and to recognize that exercise can help them improve in many different areas of their lives.
