About me
I coached track and taught gym at a high school in Belleville for eighteen years. When my own father needed help getting stronger after a long winter on the couch, I realized how few trainers really knew how to work with older adults. I got certified for it and have done this full time since.
The goal in my sessions is everyday strength. Standing up from a low couch without a push, carrying the groceries in, getting down to the floor and back up. We use bands, a chair and your own body weight, and I keep track of your numbers so you can see the progress on paper. Nothing fancy, nothing that hurts.
I live in Glen Ridge with my wife and two boys, and I still run the loop at Brookdale Park three mornings a week, a little slower than I used to. On Sundays I help out with the youth soccer league, mostly by carrying the cones.
