Fitness Method and Philosophy
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than inspiring my clients to meet their fitness goals — whether their primary intention is to lose weight, increase muscle tone, prevent injury, improve flexibility, and/or build awareness. Over the 10 years I have worked as a trainer, the first 4 years of which were spent at Equinox 19th St, I have helped 100s of clients with varying goals and limitations build more sustainable, healthier, and aligned lifestyles.
In my sessions on the Upper West Side (or at your home or office gym, or even just your home or remotely, generally at reduced prices) I draw from many different modalities. I can help you build power and expand your scope of physical abilities through an innovative blend of functional training, calisthenics, gymnastics, yoga, and pilates mat. I also specialize in weight, strength, circuit, mobility, and functional training, as well as work with Olympic rings, kettlebells, conditioning, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), coordination, and proprioception/balance training. Together, we can design a workout and discuss healthy nutrition habits that will motivate you and maximize your body’s potential. I aim to increase your determination, resilience, and self-confidence, while helping you to get the body you’ve always wanted.
I look forward to working with you!
“Over My Dad Body!”
For new dads, keeping up with a fitness regimen has never been more challenging. It’s also never been more important. On days when you are looped in an endless cycle of burping, diapering, and sleeplessness, working out may be the only true outlet. Lack of time can require becoming really inventive about maximizing workouts (abridged gym sessions, stroller lunges, and plank walks while baby’s sleeping). My fitness series “Over my Dad Body” is specially designed for moms and dads (and grandparents) to stay in shape and prevent parenting-related injuries.
Let’s get started!
Injuries + Aging
Because having good alignment to prevent injuries is a major facet of my fit-losophy, I love working with people who have injuries and older folks. I’m good at figuring out physical limitations and prescribing exercises that target them. My training method is great for anyone who has injuries or would like to prevent them.
Background
For over four years, I worked as a tier 3+ Equinox and NASM-certified personal trainer. I am certified in Progressions and Regressions, Kettlebell levels 1/2, Trigger Point Therapy levels 1/2, VipR levels 1/2, Precision Nutrition 1, Anatomy Trains, Floor-to-Core, and Reiki levels 1/2.
Sessions
The initial session involves a 7-part Functional Movement Screen to assess your starting point, functionality, and abilities so we can set training goals. Sessions last one hour and are typically held on the Upper West Side. I can also travel to your home or office gym. For 1 on 1 training: I offer single sessions for $145, as well as packages of 5 (for $140 each), 10 (for $135), or 20 (for $130) sessions for discounted rates. I can also be flexible in certain situations when a private gym is not required. Contact me for rates for groups of 2 or more.
