Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Our first session I will evaluate your movement and conduct a quick interview so that I can ensure we tailor our program to you.
Next, I’ll design a program that is customized to your goals using a specialized system of HIIT cardio, dumbbell, Kettlebell, slam ball, and body weight movements.
We’ll work in 4 week cycles in a method called periodization. We will increase our intensity (weight/meters/watts etc.) and/or volume (reps, sets, etc.) for 3 weeks and then take a one week deload period that allows the body and central nervous system to recover.
Progressice overload and periodization are tried and true techniques I’ve trained with to get in the best shape of my life.
I will never ask a student to perform and movement that I do not do in my training or have not used in my training in the past. Your comfort and safety are priority #1.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I come from the school of experience. I was once 370 pounds and lost over 100 pounds. To date I have kept that weight of for 2 years while also increasing my squat to 500 pounds, bench to 350 pounds, and deadlift to 633 pounds. I will teach you the same techniques and strategies I use daily to become one of the strongest men in Southeast Michigan while also being able to row a sub 7 minute 2k and bike 30-60 miles a week. If you want to move better and get stronger and more fit I can help you. I would love the privilege to show you what I love about fitness.
