My decision to enter the field of personal training was based on my own deep, lifelong passion for health and fitness. For nearly two decades it has been a fundamental component of my daily life. The opportunity to share this passion with others, and to witness the life-altering positive transformations that follow, are among the most rewarding aspects of being a personal trainer. Because the fitness world is, by definition, one primarily occupied by goal- oriented individuals striving to better themselves, I’ve discovered that the very process of training and instructing has allowed me to continually improve myself along the way. During my career as a certified recovery coach professional I also discovered how important the element of physical fitness could be in improving the lives of individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. This discovery has instilled me with an additional sense of meaning and purpose.
