I came up with this name for my business because I'm a dork. But it also came to me after one of my clients was given terrible advice from a well-meaning friend. You know the people I mean: They appear to be in great shape and they're more than happy to tell you what works for them. But that's the key: It works for them, and it may or may not be appropriate for you. And how's their muscular balance? What about their posture? Are their goals the same as yours? Do they have a fitness background? I began weight training at 30 years old, but it was several more years before I learned to do it right. I have done all the dumb things you can do: I read muscle magazines, lifted too heavy and too often, and asked my friends and the big guys at the gym for advice. My chest and biceps were growing, but my core was weak and my legs were spindly. I even managed to develop tendonitis in my elbow that was so bad I couldn't even hold a pen! Prior to my training as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I led a mostly sedentary life, really didn't like to exercise, and was overweight and out of shape. In fact, my nickname in high school was "Fatty." Thanks to my training, I have learned that it is never too late to start and I am in better shape and am much stronger now than I was in my 20s. I specialize in training "regular" people. I can show you how to lose weight, gain muscle and have more energy. I am an avid (terrible) golfer – a sport I picked up only a couple of years ago – and have two certifications in golf conditioning. I have played baseball and softball – again, badly – for more than 30 years, and can show you how to gain more power and reduce injuries. I have worked with a variety of clients, men and women from 14-81 years of age. Everyone is different and has different needs. In fact, I believe that's why it's called "personal training!"
