How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching group fitness and personal training when I was in Graduate school. Prior to that I coached gymnastics starting at the age of 15
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with most demographics over the course of my career. Fom elite athletes to beginnners, underweight to obese, children all the way up to bedridden seniors, pregnant women, healthy people as well as those dealing with disease such as cancer, MS, arthritis etc. Have also worked with individuals after completeing their PT rehabilitation from an injury.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I think several factors should be considered when hiring a private trainer; price, location, trainer's education, certifications and experience. It's also important that you like this person and feel both comfortable and receptive to their coaching style.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Probably the most important question is the "why" behind your goals. Having a great reason and purpose for doing this will help to keep you focused.
How bad do you want the results because a trainer can only provide directions, instructions and inspiration but what we can not give you is the "want to" and "drive" that will keep you focused when we are not with you.
Do you want a quick fix or a lifestyle change? If the pain of where you are feels worse than the pain you anticipate to change the situation then you're a good candidate for personal training.
