· I coach a little college football with the Stangs. Nothing like I did when I was younger but still love it after all these yrs. I help Defensive Back Coach PJ. Proud to say that I do.
· I own a private gym in downtown London. In business since 1985.
· Strength | Mobility | Balance | Flexibility | Conditioning | Recovery
· Strength training is the foundation of everything we do.
· Researchers have now verified what strength coaches have preached for decades that muscle mass and strength, at any age, is critical to our health.
· Remember this: You can’t outsmart Mother Nature. She is undefeated.
EXPERIENCE
(1) I have been coaching Athletes since 1978 and the Adult Population since 1985.
(2) The 30+ years in this business has qualified me to coach just about every age and type of person who walks through the door. I currently have 53 clients that come to my gym ranging in age from 36 to 76. All types of bodies and levels of health. And good folks. Egos are checked at the door.
(3) Injured? I have dealt with, I believe, every injury imaginable.
– I also have torn my left ACL, Meniscus in both knees, 7 or 8 left knee Grade 2 MCLs plus 3 more of those on my right knee.
– I had Hip Reconstruction surgery that collapsed and became infected resulting in 6 wks on a penicillin IV. The pain made my torn ACL feel like a bruise.
– That was followed by 2 Hip Replacement surgeries resulting in a total of 6 months on crutches and wheeled walker and the loss of, what seemed like, all the muscle mass I had. Learning to walk again and train again is/was an interesting process.
– So, come on down with your injury. In conjunction with your Physio and Doctor we will get you feeling better.
WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM ME
(1) I follow a strength coach’s #1 rule, “Do No Harm”.
(2) I will adapt the program to your special needs. However, understand that my expectations are high.
(3) Do what I tell you to do and you will be successful.
WHAT DO I EXPECT FROM YOU?
(1) Work ethic and dedication to take care of your health. We have fun but you better be ready to work. I’m a coach and all coaches want success.
(2) Age is not an excuse. We know through science there is chronological age and there is biological age. How old would you be if you couldn’t count?
