A little about myself:  I am the founder of Fitness VIP, which provides personal fitness and well-being through optimal exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle.  Men and women of all ages and fitness levels see success through our program; we’re especially noted for getting results for women over 40.

My strategy for helping busy people meet their personal fitness needs is simple – I am passionate about this work and will always meet my clients half-way in their training.

  I have studied such disciplines as: weight training, bodybuilding, body sculpting, aerobics, boxing, wrestling, nutrition, tennis, weight management, and functional training.  I have written multiple books including "Discover 175+ Easy Ways to Maximize Fat Loss," and have been featured as a fitness expert on websites such as ezinearticles.com and articlecity.com.

My philosophy is to help individuals permanently take control of their health and their lives by empowering them to nourish their bodies and develop effective exercise plans.  I hold back no secrets from my clients, ensuring they reach their fitness goals as quickly and effectively as possible. 

Experience has taught me that most clients have been misinformed by the popular press, well-intentioned but similarly misinformed friends, or worse still, unqualified “fitness coaches” parading as the real thing.  I see my responsibility as a fitness professional to provide the “fitness truth.”  As part of each session, my clients and I spend anywhere from 10-20+ minutes learning the proper ways to take care of their fitness needs. 

I consider myself a great motivator whose approach is heavily focused on metabolism-boosting to help my clients turn their bodies into fat-burning machines. I emphasize three synergistic components that must take place in order to obtain the most dramatic results.  These components are resistance training, moderate aerobics, and supportive nutrition. 

My resistance training uses minimal equipment:  stability balls, elastic tubing, dumbbells, medicine balls, and a bench.  All the exercises can be easily performed at home without going to the gym or buying huge and expensive machines.  I strongly believe in “functional training” --  exercising in a manner that reflects real life movements to recruit stabilizing muscles and activate your “core.”  I train my clients the way the body is designed to move.  What does that mean for you?  More useful strength gains!  More than just being able to win a weight-lifting competition, you will become increasingly comfortable taking the stairs, working around the house, buying groceries, carrying your suitcase through the city, and picking up your children (or grandchildren).

Most of my clients see visible results with as little as 12 minutes of moderate aerobic training, assuming that the other 2 synergistic components are in place.   When a treadmill, elliptical machine, or bike is not present, I often use a jump rope, calisthenics, or boxing gloves and mitt for a fun and healthy change of pace.

My supportive nutrition strategy is designed to increase metabolism, thereby allowing your body to burn additional fat throughout the day and even while you sleep.  With my specialized nutritional approach, clients notice an increase in energy and a decrease in body fat in as little as 4 weeks.  My strategy leads to long-term, healthy changes.  You simply cannot buy those results by swallowing the latest fad pill.

I provide in-home and online personal training (much cheaper and more efficient than month-after-month gym membership) and e-mail fitness coaching.  Fitness VIP’s extensive online fitness store meets the needs of my clients and complements my comprehensive fitness program.  Not only that, but all of my services are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

            Now that I have told you about my company and myself, it is time for the most important part of the fitness equation – YOU.  To keep the personal in qualified personal fitness trainer, I need you to contact me today.  Together we will determine what you really want and need from personal training – and reach your goals that much faster.
