About Akeem

A deeply caring and motivated trainer who takes pride in learning experiences through active doing. The goal is to deliver and develop all the tools needed so you can support yourself and your loved ones, without my immediate assistance in the future. Every session is a great learning experience physically and mentally. Through years of of training college athletes, to many years of my own spinal cord injury rehab, I’ve experienced everything needed to support any age or g goal, in becoming better, stronger, more structured and more confident. Training is not at all what I do, it is who I am! I would love to be that person for you!

Training philosophy

We learn through doing. From 1 to two, to 50, every rep, every step comes with lots to understand and experience. Let's GET there!

A typical session

7-10 minute warm up where we can debrief of the past few days, diet and feelings. High motivation and care for each specific client. With this, you can also expect me to hold you accountable to your goals, and your words, as I expect you to do the same for me. A debrief of what we did, why we did it, and how this gets you closer to your goal. Goal setting for the near future before our next session.

Client success story

Danielle C. Age: 27 Physician Assistant Akeem was the first personal trainer I ever worked with. He was enthusiastic, friendly and extremely motivating. He very quickly learned my skill level at the gym and came up with new and challenging sessions for me each week I came in. His positive attitude and experience with being a great trainer made me always look forward to my sessions at the gym I used training as a way to get back into the swing of things at the gym after being gone for so long after Covid. After three months of working with Akeem, not only do I feel like I’m back in shape, I feel like I’ve learned how to challenge myself and make the most of my time at the gym. For all of the above reasons, I would absolutely train again with Akeem and I hope if you’re reading this you’ll give yourself the chance to have the same great experience I did! Noreen Carro, 65, business owner. – You targeted every area on my body that needed to be worked on for that hour. I always felt complete and looked forward to the next session. In addition you explained anything I asked about my body – all the whys and how to’s. – Since our time working out together, my arms and legs are stronger, my back has less pain, and my core felt tighter – I would absolutely use you for a trainer and recommend you to all my friends Jade Brown 25 Teacher’s Assistant My experience with working with Akeem is he cares about your well-being and you reaching the goals you have set for yourself. He also takes the time to find what works for you and knows how to keep you focused. Since working with him I have lost 30 lbs so far and I have noticed a increase in strength, energy incline and an overall positive attitude with working out now. Coming from someone who has back issues he has definitely worked with me and found ways to help strengthen that to a point where I don’t have the same pains as I used to and I have fewer issues with it now. I would absolutely work with him again because I have noticed an increase in my confidence, positive changes in my body and attitude. He gives that motivational push that you think you don’t need but in actuality you do. He knows how to make the sessions fun but also makes sure you get the work done to your fullest potential.
