I am a certified personal trainer who specializes in fun and challenging workouts! My clients and I utilize practical equipment while focusing on skill development and efficiency of fundamental human movements. I work one-on-one in a private space in Warwick, but also train at the beach, the sand dunes, the park, etc. What kind of equipment do I have? The answer is nothing you’re accustomed to seeing in your average gym, but everything that translates well into the “real world.” For example, at the LbF studio we utilize Kettlebells, Balance Beams, Suspension Equipment (USA, TRX), Sandbags, Heavy Ropes, Slosh Tubes, Heavy Bag and Gloves, Balance Board, Parallettes, Weighted Sled, a huge heavy tire, and more!
I have a degree in Civil Engineering and take an analytical and systematic approach to training. However, I try to think outside the box and always consider mood, surroundings, and “enjoyment” as major factors when planning WOD’s. In the spirit of left brain strength, I’ve outlined a few key points that describe what I’m about:
- Philosophy: eat, move, play and rest as humans were designed (with compromises made based on one’s hobbies, values and personal priorities).
- Goals for clients: improve body composition, reduce risk of injury, increase athleticism, improve posture, improve balance, increase flexibility and ROM, and increase body awareness with all means to the end goal of a greater quality of life for as long as possible.
- Methodology: establish/improve healthy eating habits preferably from local, clean and natural sources; guide clients through fun and challenging workouts that vary in style, time, intensity, equipment and setting; teach “skill” of different exercises and movements with emphasis on efficient and safe form.
Bottom line: this is my passion! I consider myself successful if/when I help people feel good and attain the ability and/or confidence to do what they never thought possible. Whether that be place in a road race, hike to the top of a mountain, swim across a bay, score more goals for your over-30 (or 40, 50…) soccer team, or simply be able to do yard work again; the human body can do it! It’s the brain that may need some instructions and a little motivation!
