Exercise Specialist - Health Fitness Instructor

Preventive health & wellness have always been a passion in my life. To supplement the discipline of health and fitness, I continued the path by becoming a nationally certified massage therapist and shortly after acquiring a license to practice massage within the state of Florida.
I have been involved with clinical exercise and personal training for over 12 years and massage therapy for 10 years. Through years of personal and professional experience and continued education I feel strongly about the power of exercise and how medicinal it is for people with various diseases and symptoms. In the past I have learned so much working in cardiac rehabilitation and corporate fitness establishments, including renowned NYC hotels and sites such as Trump International Hotel & Tower, the Waldorf Astoria, the New York Palace, the World Financial Center, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Fitness Philosophy: Everyone knows that being physically fit is the way to go, so why aren't you going? The benefits of working out and toning up are invaluable and the options to choose from are endless. Getting fit gives you a better chance at winning the game, being better in bed and having a better quality of life. You'd better believe! Fitness is tough stuff. Everyone is motivated one way or another. Some are self-motivated, others have mentors and some have no other choice. For real and sustainable results now and in the future train safe and smart. Background: Yes, I'm a personal trainer but I'm also like you. I understand that everyone has ups and downs and we all fall to life's pitfalls that make it difficult to adhere to exercising religiously but where there is a will there is a way. There are great strategies to be applied to yield health and fitness success if you honestly commit to be fit.
