NSCA: CSCS

Bottom line, this is recognized as my industries top certification for strength coaches. I already had my NASM, CPT, but earned my CSCS because I wanted the best education for me and my clients. 

Postural Respiration Institute (PRI):
​Patterned Thoraco-Abdominal Pathomechanics

All about simple here. I help you to make your diaphragms (left and right) work better again.  I've seen these techniques help my clients improve lower back pain, knee pain and shoulder pain. 
I've also seen these techniques improve performance in strength training and endurance. 

NASM - CPT

My First Certification almost ten years ago. I studied for this test while Bartending for several months. In March of 2012 I finally applied for my fist job with Equinox.  Since then, I've risen to the highest ranks as a Tier X trainer and for several years have helped mentor other trainers and coaches to the same level. 

Precision Nutrition Level 1 & 2: 

My education here was layered in case study work.  This course helped me conduct meaningful conversations with my clients that yield deep change.  The science and art of conversation is maybe a coaches greatest tool. 

Functional Range Conditioning (FRCms)

Developed and taught by Dr. Andrea Spina, FRC is the practice of producing strong functional joints.  My dedication to this practice has added countless years to my clients athletics and my own.

After One Session, my client's knee is more aligned with her foot, which enables her to harness the full power of her right leg. She suffered from knee pain that rendered her right leg obsolete before working with me.

EXOS Performance Specialist: 

One of the most respected systems for training high performance in athletes. EXOS systems is trusted by pro athletes everywhere.  
Many of the fundamentals of running, sprinting, agility and explosive movement needed for sport at any age come from my training here. 

TPI Level 1 and Junior Level 2

 In addition to my experience as a Division 1 Javelin thrower, this education from the Titleist Performance Institute gave greater ability help any golfer, or athlete change their game.  Top picture speaks for its self.  Alan was a 7 handicap and is now under a 2 handicap. 

Functional Movement Systems (FMS) Level 1 &2

Started by two of the most respected names in health and fitness, Gray Cook and Dr. Lee Burton, FMS is one of the first things I learned almost ten years ago. Properly assess you clients first and gain as much information about how they move and why they move that way to put together the best program possible.
