At 44 years old, I have been in the fitness industry as a Chicago personal trainer for over 20 years, I enjoy helping people and love living the lifestyle. My involvement began when I was younger and wanted to become a better wrestler and football player. Since then I have competed in several bodybuilding contests with my most notable title being the Collegiate Mr. Illinois.

I have also become a familiar face in the fitness industry as a Chicago personal trainer and have appeared on the cover of such magazines as Muscle & Fitness, Physical and Planet Muscle. To view my fitness portfolio you can do so by clicking here.

I have a Bachelors degree from Illinois State University in Physical Education with a minor in Nutrition. I currently hold a CSCS certification from the NSCA and have also held certifications in the NASM, and ACSM. I believe it is extremely important to stay on top of the ever-changing fitness industry as a Chicago personal trainer and that's why I frequently attend seminars and workshops.

The thing that I find exciting about training people is that no two individuals are the same. The challenges each client faces while attaining their goals and how the trainer over comes them, is what separates a good instructor from an average one. My philosophy is a simple one, if you succeed, so do I.

Whether it's helping someone with no experience or teaching an elite athlete the latest techniques; I will be there to Motivate, Educate and Evaluate throughout the entire process.

I provide the following services as well:

     1. Nutritional guidance.
     2. Kickboxing and self-defense.
     3. Safe and enjoyable instruction.
     4. Adjusting your needs to your body type.
     5. Providing services to your home, office or gym.
     6. The latest technological advances for MEN and WOMEN.
     7. Instruction in Plyometrics as well as sport specific activities.
     8. Incorporating the program into your lifestyle and / or limitations.
     9. Keeping you interested with different types of exercises and environments.
    10. Equipment purchase consulting as well as corporate seminars on health   

           and fitness.

Whether you're a man or women, beginner or advanced I will be there to help take you to the next level whatever that may be. Thanks for your time and hopefully I'll see you soon so we can get started on the new you.
