I always strive to improve myself and increase my education and training, which benefits you greatly. I consider myself an elite personal trainer and have serviced over 3,000 sessions.

In 2005 I was chosen to work with NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” reality show. I trained the male half of a couple who together faced off against another pair for a Biggest Loser mini-series. Edwin went from 243 and 21% bodyfat to 183 pounds and 3% bodyfat. Below are some pictures:

My experience has brought me into contact with people from all walks of life, with all different goals, but whom all want the same thing: to feel better. I can promise you, with absolute peace of mind, that I can help you, no matter what you want to work on.

Some of my specialties include:

• Healing low back pain, knee pain, and shoulder/neck pain.
• Advanced, safe, and permanent fat loss.
• Fibromyalgia (A terrible nervous system disorder that leaves the client in constant, chronic pain, and feeling exhausted and depressed.)
• Increasing muscular strength, including limit strength, endurance strength, and will-power.
• Nutritional and lifestyle counseling
• Stretching and flexibility

I hope you’ll decide to let me assist you in achieving your personal goals. I love working with all my clients and it shows in our fun, science and results-based workouts! I’m very passionate about what I do, and become just as invested in your results as you are.
