Teamwork – it’s what personal training is all about, right? A common complaint I hear from new clients who have worked with trainers in the past, is that their former trainer was less interested in training them than he was in looking at his cell phone every 90 seconds. To me, this is letting your teammate down. It is your needs that are important, not mine. We are in this together to get you the body you deserve! This means sitting down together to establish realistic goals, whether they be losing your spare tire, getting that bubble butt (guy or gal, I’m an expert), developing muscle tone, or just creating an all-​around better looking and better feeling you. A you with increased strength and vigor. I promise you our training will be hard, yet at the same time be prepared to have a little fun, for life is short, brothers and sisters. I too enjoy the occasional ice cream cone, or slice of pizza – but I like a hard body too. You CAN have it all!

Business Owner

Over thirty years ago I began «pumping iron” – long before the term was invented. My roots remain firmly planted in the basement of the home where I grew up, where sand-​filled weights and heavy dumbbells put together by my dad rolled about the uneven concrete floor, and pictures I’d torn out of muscle magazines were taped to the walls. Being largely self-​taught, and seeking advice from the older guys of the neighborhood, it was a natural step to become employed by the Chicago Health Club chain, where I dispensed practical advice on the gym floor. It wasn’t long before I began selling memberships out of a carpeted office, but while my wallet became fat my soul became lean. Realizing it was in the gym that I belonged helping others, I gave up the security of the all-​important «commission check» and returned to the land of dumbbells, pulleys and clanging weights. I’ve been a personal trainer ever since and love it!
