I work with people from all walks of life and for me, it’s not about just training. It’s bigger than training. I learned this – and started to live it – when getting my ISSA Certification. When you can apply the science of fitness and offer solid and customized training programs, but also motivate, that’s when everybody wins. I like to use my story to give motivation.

Unlike other certifications, I love that ISSA wants us to really know what we are doing instead of just passing tests. The quizzes and case scenarios helped me deeply understand the science behind exercises; which is crucial when training athletes safely, avoiding injuries, and enhancing performance. Helping athletes understand how to train effectively and efficiently is a rewarding part of my journey."

Recently, I received certifications as a fitness trainer and a senior fitness trainer from ISSA. I've always been passionate about staying fit, especially after my NFL career. Receiving my certifications felt like a natural next step to continue my journey in fitness. I'm excited to bring the benefits of exercise to the senior community, ensuring they have fun while staying active
