 ATTENTION: I will not be taking any more questions from kids, ages 17 & under, through this site. If any kid wants some help, their parent must ask the question. Plese be specific, no more "I need to gain weight and get a 6-pack, pleeez help, thanx" types of questions. I will no longer reply to these. I can help you with most questions regarding strength training for a wide variety of sports, primarily for the youth, high school, college, and recreational athlete levels. I can also assist with general fitness concerns. I also will not respond to generic "I need to lose weight fast, please help' type of questions either. This is a waste of my time. You need a strategy, not a program alone, for this type of assistance. Also, I DO NOT GIVE PROGRAMS through this service. Do not ask for any program, please, because chances are that I know nothing about you to even begin creating a program. As a professional, I need many pieces of information to even begin constructing something for my client, and this sometimes takes up to 45 minutes in a face-to-face visit. There's just no way I can do it in .....

 USA Weightlifting Sport Performance Coach and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I have 11 years experience in the industry and now run my own personal training company.

If there are questions specific to weight loss or muscle gain, body transformation programs, and some health issues (osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis, elderly fitness, pregnancy, and fibromyalgia), I can help. I also deal with athletes who want to improve their speed, agility, and quickness, as well as providing sport-specific strength programs.

I seem to receive a lot of questions about weight loss, shaping up, and weight gain. Even though they are different questions, they all have a very similar answer. I have decided to write a 3 page document explaining what you need to do to achieve weight loss, weight gain, or just getting good definition (flatter stomach, thinner thighs, no granny arms, etc.). If your question falls in this area, please download this document and read what you need to do. This will save me and you time. Please click here to download this document. If you have a more specific question, please feel free to ask me. I'm more than happy to try and .....
