I have always been a person
fascinated with fitness, health, and athletics. I have been
actively involved in athletics from an early age, participating in
sports such as competitive figure skating, varsity soccer,
basketball and track in high school, as well as at the Division 1
level on the WSU women's rowing team. Participating in and
training for various sports has drawn my interest to the fitness
field and I have since transformed my passion into a lifestyle,
degree and a career, focused on sharing my knowledge and experience
with others to help achieve their health and fitness goals and
ignite their own fitness spark.
|
I have experience in many different
types of training, from strength training and plyometrics to
pilates and yoga, and everywhere in between. Also, observing and
studying in the physical therapy setting has given me experiences
that enable me to adapt your training to past or current
injuries.
I believe that being healthy not
only involves exercise but also nutrition, sleep habits, stress
levels, and having smart goals. These things are so important to
ones overall fitness and wellbeing and getting fit is the first
step on the path towards a healthy lifestyle.
Each client is different and offers
a new challenge and opportunity for me to learn and evolve as a
person, athlete, and trainer. I look forward to creating a program
that keeps you interested, motivated and is effective, fun, safe
and unique. I want to create a program that will keep your body
guessing every step of the way. Whether your goal is to lose
weight, tone up, train for a sport, or just achieve wellness, I'm
here for you. No matter what your health and fitness goals may be,
as long as you are willing to put in the work, I'll do my part to
get you the results you want and improve your health and fitness in
an enjoyable, creative setting. I love my job because seeing people
improve their fitness levels is such a rewarding experience for me.
I truly want to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
I look forward to meeting with you!

I believe that your quality of life
is largely determined by the choices you make. Everything from
health to wealth can be obtained and then maintained through sound
choices. My job as a Personal Trainer is to give you options and
guide you toward making healthier choices. Whether your goals are
looking better in a swim suit, training for your favorite sport or
just becoming leaner, faster, stronger then you can count on me to
get you to where you want to be. My first priority is and always
will be making healthier choices a habit so that exercise becomes
less of a chore and more of a passion.

A little about myself - I am a
Business Administration major specializing in Management
Information Systems. I have spent the last 6 years in both AFJROTC
and AFROTC programs and greatly look forward to my commission in a
couple of years. I have a love for all things fitness related that
has evolved over the years. I was an avid runner through High
School and have turned my focus toward resistance training in the
last 4 years. I am especially interested in compound lifts that
build the core and develop strength throughout the entire body. I
have always been fascinated with the inner-workings of the human
musculoskeletal system and spend a lot of time looking over case
studies to gauge the effectiveness of the perpetually changing
fitness fads. I will make sure that when you train with me you will
see results, fast.

Working out doesn't always have to
mean just "pumping the iron", it includes a broad spectrum of the
fitness arena including stability, strength, endurance, and
flexibility. To become a well-rounded active individual I believe
that all four of these categories need to be approached diligently
to get the full experience of improving oneself physically and
mentally.

I am currently studying Kinesiology
at our Washington State University and plan on working on a
doctorate in Physical Therapy after my time is up at WSU. From my
studies here, I have gained appreciation for using correct form and
technique to making gains in any fitness goals. I have also been a
committed athlete since I was ten years old and understand on a
personal level the importance of making fitness a way of life.
Franklin P. Adams said that,
"Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time
of the year". Regardless or your level of fitness I look forward to
helping you make now the best of the year to get in shape.

All my life I've been a big guy. I
grew up playing a bunch of sports like wrestling, soccer, and
football. I was basically full grown as a 7th grader and sadly I
was obese. When I entered high school I discovered the weight room
and began to put in time weight lifting along with whatever sport I
was doing at the time. I grew to love being in the gym and the
whole atmosphere of self improvement and discipline. The gym for me
got rid of all of my anxieties about my body and stresses of the
school day, allowing me to just focus on the task at hand.
Eventually my body completed it's transformation process and
fitness and proper nutrition became a lifestyle for me.
|
I signed up for a fitness
specialist in high school my junior year and by the middle of my
senior year of high school I was an American Council of Exercise
certified personal trainer. I started out just training with fellow
friends and athletes at my high school and doing summer camps for
young baseball and soccer players. The summer I graduated high
school I enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves and have since been
deployed to Afghanistan as an artillery scout attached to Marine
Infantry. While deployed I worked with fellow Marines in the gym,
both veteran gym rats and beginners wanting to learn the basics.
Recently I've put on speed, agility, and core fitness clinics for
young athletes ages 12-18.
My favorite part about being
involved in training people is the sheer variety of training
techniques and programs that are available. I'm a huge believer in
constant changes to workouts in order to keep your body and mind
sharp. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
expecting different results. It's hard to start making a change in
your fitness by yourself let alone nutrition as well. There's so
much random knowledge and thought out there and it's easy to get
lost. Starting a new fitness and nutritional routine is a learning
process, and it's much easier to learn if you have a teacher,
someone who's going to be actively interested and invested in your
progress and accomplishments. That's the trainer I'll be for you,
personally invested in your success and achievement whatever your
goal may be.

Fitness and sports have always
served as a huge part of my life. I have received a 2nd degree
black belt and I have won 3 separate national titles in Tae Kwan
do. I have also trained heavily in Muy Thai, Ji Jitsu and boxing
and I have won many tournaments in all these events. I was a
captain of my high school football team and set several records
that are still in place.
|
I have worked with all types of
people when it comes to personal training. I have been a trainer
for 3 years now. Previously, I was a trainer at Gold's Gym in
Redmond where I worked with a wide variety of body types and had a
strong clientele. I have created a profile or workouts fit for any
client that is based on the fundamentals of functional fitness.
Throughout my training experience,
my primary focus has been working with athletes. However, I have
been very successful at helping all types of clients set goals and
meet them through a wide variety of training styles. I have
attended a fitness training school and there I acquired many
training styles and my interest in physical training. This passion
is what drove me to attend Washington State University, to attend
the athletic training program.

Exercise has always been a huge
part of my life. I grew up playing various sports and activities
such as basketball, football, baseball, soccer, track and field,
hunting and fishing. I was never the most skilled so I had to rely
on exercise and training to make up the difference. Growing up I
have come to realize that fitness and exercise have a huge impact
not only to our physical wellbeing but throughout our day to day
lives, so becoming a personal trainer was a very easy decision for
me.
|
As a trainer I like to give you
opportunities to help improve in the main components of fitness,
muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance,
flexibility and body composition. And it is my job to make an
exercise plan that will not only address these components of
fitness but do so in a way that keeps things interesting. I plan on
doing that by keeping things personal, doing workouts and exercises
that you enjoy and also incorporate new techniques and challenges
that will enable you to reach your personal goals.
One thing that I have learned when
working with people trying to reach fitness goals, there is no
better time to start than now! So come in and let's get to
work!

Fitness and martial arts has been
my life since I was 12 years old. I have been training in Pai Lum
Kung Fu for 8 years and attained my black level 1 when I was 16. In
addition to this I have trained heavily in Bok Leen Pai Kenpo,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and San Shou.

I have worked with many different types of people in many walks of
life. I have been a personal trainer for 2 years now with about 550

training and bodyweight training. The body needs to be balanced,
strong, and stable with its own weight before external weights are
added.

life and I will continue to learn and grow as a trainer and martial
artist for the rest of my life.

The benefits gained from being
physically active are enormous. Participating in an exercise
program can help decrease stress, increase self-confidence, improve
athletic performance, increase the quality of life, and more. I
firmly believe that participating in an exercise program is one of
the most beneficial things that people can do. As a trainer, I make
it a point to understand what my clients want and design programs
that are fun and effective. I have a very wide range of exercise
knowledge and can work with all kinds of people.
|
I am a highly active person myself
I have many outdoor hobbies. The outdoor activity I enjoy the most
is wakeboarding because it is one of the most exciting things you
can do and it is an all-around workout. The key element that allows
me to pursue all these hobbies is that I train for them so it
minimizes risk of injury and I can participate longer before I am
exhausted. I strive to help people set and meet goals and help them
every step of the way. The confidence people gain from
accomplishing exercise specific goals is the reason I enjoy
training so much and it its why you should start training with me
today!

I have always been active. As a
kid, I spent more time playing sports and games more than I spent
sleeping. I played and tried everything. I have always been healthy
and happy, and I attribute that to my continued physical activity.
If you want to be healthy and happy, you need to participate in
physical activity, too. Eventually, I ended up focusing on being a
miler where I was very successful and eventually got recruited to
run for WSU. After "retiring" from running, I began other physical
training, and I love it all!

Everyone I know is always
commenting on how much I exercise and how I can possibly enjoy it
that much. Variety and making it fun is key. I can understand why
some people see exercise as a hassle, but that is why I became a
personal trainer, because opening people's eyes to the great world
of fitness is such a rewarding experience. I have obtained
knowledge through personal training courses, working as a weight
room attendant, and active research. There are new discoveries
being made every year on benefits that exercise provides!
Prevention of many diseases, injury, muscle atrophy, as well as
decreasing stress and boosting endorphins and energy throughout the
day, which keep both the body and mind healthy and sharp.

I am studying kinesiology in hopes
of becoming a physical therapist, and most of my classes are based

When someone says the word
"fitness" most people have many different ideas as to what fitness
is. To me fitness is a way of living. I enjoy constantly
researching new exercises, ideas, and styles of training. Beyond
that, fitness is striving to make your body well balanced as a
whole and improving functionality specific to your needs. With my
view on fitness not only can I help people achieve their goals but
also create workouts that will make a person healthier overall and
stronger in ways that will benefit them inside the gym as well as
outside. I hope to be able to instill my passion for fitness and
exercise into all who train with me.

Throughout my life I have always
been very physically active, from working on my family's farm to
playing various sports growing up. One of the most notable exercise
experiences for me was being captain of my high school football
team. During this time I first found that leading warm-ups and
workouts with the team was something I really enjoyed. My drive and
excitement for exercise lead me to come to WSU to study
Kinesiology. I enjoy the opportunities majoring in Kinesiology is
currently offering me to learn new information about fitness and
the human body every day. My passion for exercise programming
(creating workouts) will allow me to create an effective, yet fun
exercise program which will help my clients meet their goals. I
will be there with you during your training to help you learn,
improve your fitness, and to ensure that you are performing
exercises with proper form. With my knowledge about exercise and
the human body I can help you reach your fitness potential.

My goal as a personal trainer is to
make activity as fun as it was when we were kids by changing the
environment in which we work out. With two years of experience in
personal training and fitness education as well as a Master's
degree in sport and exercise psychology from the University of
Minnesota, I am a strong believer in the ties between our physical
and psychological selves. Because of this background, I teach my
clients the skills they need to stay active long after our workouts
have ended while maintaining a relationship of respect and
challenge.

Growing up I started my journey of exercise and sports in the
3rd grade. My older brother influenced me to start lifting weights
to get ready for pop warner football. I looked up to him because of
his knowledge and expertise of weightlifting, in which he became my
personal trainer. Going through my first workout in the garage with
my brother, I developed a passion for lifting weights because of
the physical and mental benefits.I continued to exercise to become
a better athlete for football during high school and to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. My senior year I was selected as one of the
captains for my high school football team. I credit this to my
hardwork and dedication to exercsise.
|
My senior year of high school, I
needed community service hours, so I became a personal trainer for
the Bellevue High School football team. I was assigned to work out
the star linebacker and I enjoyed watching him grow stronger and
more athletic after every workout. It felt great to know I helped
John become a better athlete because I was right there pushing him
to new limits. I knew after being a trainer at Bellevue high school
I wanted to guide people on the pathway to a healthy lifestyle. I
have further experience from La Fitness as a personal trainer and I
had many long term clients. I also have experience in Kettle bells,
and Olympic lifting which I believe should be a staple to various
programs because of the core, balance and coordination needed for
these types of lifts. The countless benefits of exercise are great
for everyone from an athlete to an average Joe. I am attending
Washington State University to get my degree in Business
entrepreneurship. I one day want to open up a gym in Hawaii with my
brother.
