My athletic background includes being a black belt in shudokan karate, champion natural bodybuilder with experience in cycling, power lifting, olympic lifting, boxing and football. While in pursuit of his athletic dreams, I have had the privilege of training alongside many phenomenal athletes from the NFL, NCAA, NPC, IFBB, MLS, WWE and the Olympics.

My programs start off by assessing health and lifestyle history of each athlete and designing the fitness regime based on their established goals. Not by combining everything into one random workout and repeating, as in some popular exercise systems.

This is a great approach to sweat, get moving again and release some endorphins, not so great for safely
improving fitness performance, building strength and gaining muscle.

Each session usually will be comprised of:
• General Warm Up
• Dynamic Flexibility
• Power / Skill Drills
• Resistance Training
• Cool Down
