Smart Fit - Personal Training

General information

I'm an experienced personal trainer from the USA. I moved to Zurich Switzerland in May of 2016. I have been studying German since September of 2016 and I am currently studying at a B1 level. I look forward to be able to help my clients in both English and German very soon.
While in the USA I attended Mississippi College to complete my 4 year university studies. There; I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science, with an emphasis on Nutrition in my elective studies. I also completed a minor study in Psychology while attending Mississippi College.
After Graduation I immediately began working for Baptist Hospital Systems. Baptist also offered wellness services to their patients and community members. I worked at the Baptist Fitness Center/ Physical Therapy center on Mississippi College's University campus. While working for Baptist I taught group fitness, trained people individually, and also gave lectures to local businesses, doctor's offices, and government offices on the topics of nutrition and physical fitness. During this time working for Baptist, I worked with Men, Women, Boys, and Girls of all ages, and with all sorts of fitness goals. I not only enjoyed training people physically and helping them reach their goals with proper exercise programming, but I also enjoyed teaching my clients about the science behind the work. I believe that it is just as important for my clients to have a healthy perspective of fitness and nutrition as it is for them to have a well programmed training routine. This is why I spend time with all of his clients addressing their questions, thoughts, and concerns about their fitness, or dieting habits. My goal is to not only train you to reach your goals, but also to provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary to sustain those goals, and to understand how the work you are doing is helping your body to do so.
My passion for helping people, and for science is what drives me to this day to work hard at my craft, and to keep my education current. I regularly study peer reviewed, and accredited research articles relating to fitness, nutrition, and the science of the human body as it relates to both of these. I also utilize ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) to keep my education current, and I am always looking for new certifications through ACSM to allow me to do more work with my clients.
If there is anyone who takes pride in their work and your success, it is me. When you bring your fitness goals to me, they become my own. I will be honest, I will work hard, and I will do everything I can to find a "SMart" solution for you. I looks forward to working with you and helping you find the "SMartest FiT" for your fitness journey.
