Methodology: Performance-Based Training
My philosophy is that aesthetics is a product of functionality. If I can make you a better functioning human being, all of your goals involving physical appearance would follow suit. Think about it, have you ever seen a woman that could do push ups or pull ups but wasn’t lean and toned? Have you ever seen a sprinter that was overweight or even just a bit pudgy? Probably not. Conversely, have you seen an overweight or out-of-shape person who regularly performs “toning” and “sculpting” exercises? Have you come across people who do lots of ab/core work yet still have a considerable amount of belly fat? You probably have.

This is why I focus on movements and exercises that are designed to make the human body excel at what it was designed. Whether your goal is overall better health, fat loss, muscle gain or just looking lean and toned, my objective is to get you to be able to:

• Do pull ups
• Do push ups
• Sprint for short distances
• Run/jog for long distances without having to stop
• Lift a heavy load overhead without injury
• Lift a heavy load from the ground without injury
• And a myriad of other skills and abilities that will not only improve your appearance but will promote a long, healthy, pain-free life.

What to expect from our training:

• Improved body composition (less fat, more muscle, better definition, firmness, etc)
• Increased flexibility and mobility
• Decreased pain and stiffness in the neck/shoulder area
• Improved posture
• Enhanced cardiovascular and metabolic conditioning
• Functional core strength for daily tasks such as lifting, carrying, moving etc
• Accountability and motiviation that sometimes isn’t present when you are working out alone
• A fun yet challenging work out regimen that’s progressive, constantly varied and designed to evolve you from what you are to what you want to be
• A personal commitment from me to helping you become the best functioning human you can be

Current Personal Fitness Regime:
I usually start with 10 to 15 minutes on flexibility/mobility work.Then I spend about 20 minutes on strength and/or power training like squats, deadlifts, overhead presses or Olympic lifts.Then I spend anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes on conditioning or what many people would call «cardio». This is usually a full-body circuit of 3 to 4 exercises with lighter weight and higher reps performed at maximal intensity. Some of the things incorporated in these circuits are bodyweight exercises, sprints, jump rope, throwing and jumping.
