What started out as an irregular pastime has flourished into my passion, my energy and fortunately enough, my career. Fitness has become my life, through and through… from everyday health to nutrition to training… fitness is my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was lucky enough to have been exposed to the art of bodybuilding at a young age, which has garnered a plethora of experience, knowledge and excitement for me. I have always been surrounded by positive influences in the field of fitness and personal training and I continue to learn everyday from all directions, from my fellow trainers, fellow fitness enthusiasts and most importantly, my clients.
Growing up I was always one of the smaller guys, skinny and “vertically challenged” if you will. I was always heavily into a variety of sports like hockey, football and soccer, but I was still one of the “small” guys and my stature couldn’t take me very far. From sports, I discovered the intense drive that stemmed from the adrenaline and sheer mental and physical intensity of competitive sports, but still I always looked for more. In trying to become a better athlete through daily exercise I truly uncovered my calling in life. I unearthed the sport and the art that was bodybuilding. It gave me the drive, the focus, and the explosion that sports had given me before…. but at the same time gave me a much more competitive and demanding opponent… myself.
My fitness background is made up from a broad spectrum in the fitness field. I have the majority of my experience in the form of bodybuilding and weight-training but also I have experience and time stemming from sports specific training, strength and conditioning exercise and last but not least, endurance athletics (triathlon, marathon prep). However, more and more, as my experience builds I am integrating all forms of training into more holistic, everyday, functional programming.
Training and fitness has become my life, through and through. There are no bigger opponents out there than Mother Nature and your inner self and with personal fitness and bodybuilding… I fight them both everyday and I can’t ask for much more than that. I love the concept of body transformation, I see it in myself, my training partners and my clients’ everyday… there is no better thrill than to watch yourself change and transform everyday. To know that you are in control of that change, that transformation, that power is insanely satisfying and rewarding.
My workout style is a mix of my roots in personal fitness, a combination of bodybuilding and pure athletics. This is a very unorthodox approach to the gym, coming from both ends of the spectrum, but it is very successful when approached from the right angles. This makes the workouts extremely high tempo, very demanding, rigorous, intense but most importantly self fulfilling. There is no half-assing and everything is all-out… all the time.
My workouts give you the ability to know for a fact that you gave it your all and you left everything you had out on the gym floor… where it belongs.
