My Certifications
ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer
It's no secret - fitness training has been proven to prevent disease, strengthen your health and improve your confidence and outlook on life. As an ISSA student working toward my certification to be a trainer, I'm learning about everything from muscle mechanics to flexibility and cardiovascular dynamics. So if you want to live a stronger and more confident life, I will soon have the training and the expertise to help you every step of the way.
ISSA Specialist in Fitness Nutrition
Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.
ISSA Specialist in Strength & Conditioning
Until recently, most people believed that power athletes are born and not made. That has changed. Modern training techniques can make anybody faster, stronger, and more powerful. Athletes at all levels - from grade school to the NFL - can sharpen their competitive edge with the help of an expert trainer. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you expand your body's capacity for challenging athletic feats while remaining strong and free from injury.
ISSA Youth Fitness Trainer
Countless studies show that children and adolescents today are in worse shape than at any other time in recent history. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in youth fitness, I'm learning how timeless fitness and training principles apply specifically to kids and teens. And I will soon be able to help them train safely and knowledgeably for their age, boosting their confidence and giving them a stronger and brighter outlook on life.
ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist
Whether you sit for long periods of time, are a weekend warrior, or fall somewhere in-between, it is quite likely that you may have a movement deficiency that is causing suboptimal physical performance and increased physical pain. As an ISSA student working towards my certification in corrective exercise, I can perform movement assessments, make referrals to medical professionals when necessary, and incorporate appropriate strategies into your training program to help you correct movement dysfunctions and muscle imbalances. Ultimately, this will lead to improved physical performance and reduced physical pain.
ISSA Specialist in Sports Nutrition
A good exercise program is only half the story. Equally important is proper nutrition. Synthesizing a cutting-edge, scientifically sound diet and nutrition regimen will radically increase the effectiveness of your exercise training sessions. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you reach your performance goals faster than you'd previously imagined possible.
ISSA Specialist in Group Fitness
Participating in a group fitness class offers a great, and often more affordable alternative to working one-on-one with a personal trainer. However, flawed program design, poor planning, and a lack of safe exercise progressions and regressions can sometimes lead to suboptimal results, and even injury to those who participate in group fitness classes. As an ISSA student working towards my certification in this area, I can plan, implement, and lead group fitness classes to help you achieve optimal results in a fun and safe environment.
ISSA Master Trainer
The ISSA Master Trainer credential is awarded only to distinguished ISSA Certified Trainers who have proven their competence in personal training and developed expertise in five additional areas of concentration through specialization certifications. This esteemed knowledge means personalized programs and targeted results for any type of client.
