About me
I trained athletes at a performance gym in Union for six years, and the clients who changed my mind about the job were the grandparents in the 7 a.m. class. They showed up every time, did every rep, and got stronger faster than the college kids. So I built a business around bringing the training to them.
I bring a full kit to every visit: resistance bands, light dumbbells from two to ten pounds, a thick mat, and a low step. You do not need to buy anything. We start with how you move today, like getting up from the couch or carrying laundry, and build from there. Every visit ends with balance work, because that is where people feel the difference first.
I live in Maplewood near the train with my partner and our dog, Biscuit. I travel farther than most trainers, so homes 20 miles or more out add a small travel fee. I am upbeat, I count out loud, and I will always tell you why we are doing an exercise.
What a first visit looks like
- 1
Minute 0 to 10
Hear about your week and anything that feels hard, like stairs or getting up from low seats.
- 2
Minute 10 to 20
A few easy tests: sit to stand, a short walk, and standing balance.
- 3
Minute 20 to 50
A full circuit with bands, light weights and the step, with breaks whenever you want.
- 4
Minute 50 to 60
Cool down on the mat or a chair and plan the next visit.
