About me: I’m a Strength Coach and Personal Trainer, and I love my job. I have degrees in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology, and have been helping people get stronger and move better fulltime since 2009. Through working with all kinds of different people ranging from elite basketball athletes to active seniors, I’ve learned that the “secret” to effective training is to take a longterm approach. The day you stop training is the day you stop improving, so training programs must be structured in a way that keeps our joints healthy and mind engaged while we build a strong and powerful body. Through sharing information and training tips here, I hope to help more people train for the rest of their lives.
