About me

I taught physical education at a middle school in Morris County for nineteen years. When my own father started having trouble getting out of his recliner, I put together a short routine for him with one resistance band and a kitchen chair. Three months later he was walking to the mailbox again, and I decided to do this for other families.

I bring a few basics: a band or two and a rolled mat. Most of what we do uses a sturdy chair, a wall and your own body weight, so you can repeat it between visits without buying a thing. I write every exercise on a card and leave it on the fridge.

I live in Chester with my wife and three teenagers, and I drive into the Essex County towns a few days a week. Homes 20 miles or more from Chester see a small travel fee on the booking. I am calm, I explain everything, and I never push past what feels right to you.
