Certified Personal Trainer
My passion and love for training come from the results and satisfaction of my clients. I work with you where you are now physically and mentally and progress you toward your goals. I use a ground-up technique that allows for a natural progression.
Whether you are just starting out or a top athlete, I can help you to reach your next level by integrating mobility through exercises and weight training along with a regime of aerobic and anaerobic training that is all catered to you and your abilities.
Let me help you become the best you! My expertise lies with training people of all ages that are starting out or re-starting their personal journey to better health.
Mountain Bike Coaching
I continue the personal training approach with my mountain bike coaching. I assess where you are at and I move you towards a better rider from the foundations of mountain bike riding.
My goal for you is to keep you smiling while you ride better for longer on the trails. I know how to make you a better rider in a few short sessions.
No experience riding and want to learn the basics first?
I have you covered in a no-pressure environment. Racing six months a year and need to level up? I can put it all together for you with a program that will allow you to reach your best. My special interest is in new and younger riders and any riders that are ready to tackle trails that require a little more technical skill.
Best of Both
I combine the best training techniques of both personal training and mountain bike coaching to develop body balance, strength and power on and off the bike.
It is the best way to train for optimal health and mountain bike performance.
I take you through training in both arenas step by step so there is no apprehension in the sessions. We start with body balance and then work all the way up to body and bike performance.
