ISSA Online Coach Certification

ISSA Certified Glute Specialist

You may think that stronger glutes are just about aesthetics, but they are key to preventing injuries and boosting overall performance. As a certified Glute Specialist, I teach clients how to properly activate and train the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus to build strength, improve function, and sculpt the look they want. I design targeted lower-body programs that deliver results clients can't get on their own. When it comes to glutes, I'm the go-to expert helping clients unlock their full potential, one hip thrust at a time.

ISSA Performance Enhancement Specialist

Athletic performance is about strategy, precision, and smart training. As a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist, I work with athletes of all levels to elevate their game through targeted programming that supports strength, speed, agility, and endurance. I assess each athlete's unique needs and goals, then design personalized plans that include performance-focused training, nutrition guidance, and injury prevention strategies. Whether it's game day or training season, I help clients push past limits and perform at their peak, mentally and physically.

ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer

It's no secret - fitness training has been proven to prevent disease, strengthen your health and improve your confidence and outlook on life. As a certified fitness trainer, I'm deeply trained in everything from muscle mechanics to flexibility and cardiovascular dynamics.

ISSA Specialist in Fitness Nutrition

Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.

ISSA Specialist in Group Fitness

Participating in a group fitness class offers a great, and often more affordable alternative to working one-on-one with a personal trainer. However, flawed program design, poor planning, and a lack of safe exercise progressions and regressions can sometimes lead to suboptimal results, and even injury to those who participate in group fitness classes. As a certified specialist in this area, I can plan, implement, and lead group fitness classes to help you achieve optimal results in a fun and safe environment.

ISSA Specialist in Senior Fitness

Modern science has given us the ability to slow and even reverse the negative effects of aging. And study after study has shown that seniors are not only capable of real exercise, but can vastly improve their health, strength, mobility, and independence through exercise. As a certified specialist in senior fitness, I can help you set realistic goals for your health, and then enjoy achieving and exceeding them.
