Jan 2013 - Dec 2017
Forsfit or ForsFitness is simply my brand of fitness services. Fors pronounced "force" just as it is in Jeff Lind*fors*. I began ForsFitness as an internship project while working at 4corners wellness center. I did so because the job title of self employed personal trainer could not, this is a point of pride for me, adequately describe my professional approach taken with my clients and standards I set for services rendered. ForsFitness is best characterized by intrinsic measures, not a business model. After being asked to develop two mission statements; one for business and the other personal, I managed to come up with the following: ForsFitness: To enable a shift of perspective from vanity to virtue in the minds of my clients. "Seeking virtue, shedding vanity." Thus catalyzing the truest form of change, internal to external. RATIONAL: Change from the inside out has the greatest affinity for enduring results and once progress can be viewed as intrinsically valuable, it can be obtained by any individual at any point in life or subjective circumstance relating to health. To limit the definition of progress in fitness to only what can be objectively measured is to miss the essence of the thing. I set out to empower my clients to achieve change that only can be felt when they close their eyes. Fitness means much more than the physical surface where it manifests... I believe it to be a vocational and professional failure And shortcoming if I as a personal trainer have a client for longer than a period of six months. Why? After this month time I've taught you everything that I can teach you about fitness And what is holding a person back from being able to take this journey on their own is no longer related to what they can gather relating to the science of exercise.

Although my stay in the Virginia Beach area was short due to family needs - As a clinical exercise specialist I gained further experience in my direct patient care skills and PT program evaluations/modifications based on patient needs and progress. This position was especially fasted-paced and required my ability to multitask and update EMR via Epic.

Nov 2014 - Jun 2015
Design fitness programs for assigned clients and work with such clients in personal training sessions using the facilities provided in Ratner Athletics Center and Henry Crown Field House. Lead periodic classes and/or orientation sessions as assigned. My style of training: 1. Foremost, the safety of my clients through the education of proper technique, my ability to gauge, spot and correctly cue my clients' as they execute their workouts. 2. Next, is and always will be the mental state of my clients, due to the fact that I believe the mind is the primary source of untapped potential or simply put - it is what enables potential to flourish at all. I am an advocate of the mind-body connection and holistic approaches to wellness. 3. Education - I hope to be the kind of personal trainer that puts himself out of business. As a personal trainer I need to be an educator and motivator. I always take into account the relativity of what motivation looks like for others. I see it as the exertion of ability to it's maximum potential no matter how great or how small it may seem - potential has no universal scale.
