My personal training methods are simple, integrated and proven.  They are based around building muscle, building aerobic capacity and incorporating the proper nutrition to support both. This training will not include machines as they isolate individual muscles. Our nervous system thinks of muscles in terms of groups.

We are all different.  We have different metabolisms, goals, rates of oxidation and body compositions.  But, we are all essentially the same in the way our bodies handle nutrients and specific physical stimuli.  I incorporate the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) method developed by the National Academy of Sport Medicine (NASM).  It is progressive and systematic.  It allows clients to make the various adaptations needed to succeed in accomplishing their training goals.

There are 7 phases, although the average client will only pass through 2-4.  Initially, muscle imbalances will be corrected and proper muscle endurance established.  From there, our emphasis will be to strengthen supporting muscles.  Then, the stable body will be taken to higher intensities and volume to add strength and size if that is a goal.
