    Personal Training (Private Studio)

    1, 2, or 3 sessions per week with me at my workout studio can immediately make a significant difference in your health, confidence and well-being. Some clients do as many as 4-5 sessions per week for a fast track to results.

    I can also teach you to workout without me at home or at your favorite gym!

    Whether your goal is to build muscle, lose fat, improve your health, increase your energy and self-confidence, or (like most of us) ALL OF THE ABOVE... I'm your man.

    Personal Training (Online)

    Live outside the area or just prefer to workout in the comfort of your own home or garage? Train with me online and get a much better workout than you might imagine with just a set of dumbbells, a basic fold-up bench and your own bodyweight.

    If you don't already have this equipment I can steer you in the right direction as to where you can get good quality equipment online.

    Are you on track? Why not?

    Do you wish to make some serious life changes but don't feel you can do it alone? Do you need some unbiased support from someone you trust and respect? Consider trying out my Life Coaching services.

    I will hold you accountable and support you on your journey. I believe in you. It's my job!

     

    Sessions can take place at my studio, online, or elsewhere at an agreed upon location.

  • BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING

    I believe strength training is the finest form of physical exercise. Here's why.

    Physical Health Benefits:

    Increased Muscle Mass and Strength: Strength training builds and maintains muscle mass, which is essential for everyday activities, athletic performance, and overall physical function.

    Improved Bone Density: Weight-bearing exercises, a key component of strength training, help increase bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

    Enhanced Metabolism: Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue, so building muscle through strength training can boost your metabolism and aid in weight management.

    Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases: Strength training has been linked to a lower risk of developing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

    Improved Balance and Reduced Risk of Falls: Strengthening muscles, especially in the lower body, improves balance and coordination, which can help prevent falls and injuries, particularly as we age.

    Joint and Pain Management: Strength training can help strengthen the muscles surrounding joints, providing support and stability, which can reduce joint pain and improve mobility.

    Better Sleep: Regular physical activity, including strength training, can improve sleep quality and help regulate sleep patterns.

    Mental Health Benefits:

    Improved Mood and Reduced Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety: Strength training can boost mood by releasing endorphins, natural mood elevators.

    Increased Self-Esteem: Achieving fitness goals through strength training can enhance self-confidence and body image.

    Cognitive Funtion: Some studies suggest that strength training may improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline.

    Other Benefits:

    Increased Energy Levels: Strength training can lead to increased energy levels and reduced fatigue.

    Improved Flexibility and Rang of Motion: While primarily focused on strength, strength training can also improve flexibility and range of motion, especially when combined with other forms of exercise.

    Enhanced Performance in Sports and Daily Activities: Stronger muscles improve performance in various physical activities, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.

    Slower Rate of Age-Related Muscle Loss: Strength training is crucial for maintaining muscle mass and strength as we age, helping to combat age-related sarcopenia (muscle loss).
