When I started with Seth as a trainer, I expected to feel at least some level of that intimidating vibe someone like me can feel when stepping into your average large fitness center. I was an overweight, out of shape woman in my late 50s who had never maintained any consistent fitness activities, but the vibe at Seth’s efficient private gym setup has been supportive in every respect from day one. I began my fitness path early in the pandemic, nearly 5 years ago, and Seth had just the right balance of pragmatism and encouragement to keep me focused on becoming healthier and stronger. Over those years, I’ve lost weight, gained muscle and have more stamina than I recall having even when decades younger. Seth also has a great deal of knowledge of body mechanics and recovery processes and has helped me recover from numerous injuries and strains so I could stay on track to feeling my best. I highly recommend Seth and his flexible approach to fitness and strengthening the body.

Often people struggle exercising on their own because of old injuries, or they get new injuries while working out that prevent them from getting the results they want.
I specialize in rehabilitating old injuries and I will guide you to listen to your body and prevent new injuries as we work toward your goals.
At 68 years of age I took the giant step of starting physical training with Seth. I had never exercised before or played organized sports. Not a gym person. Along with a number of painful traumatic injuries I had a chronic arthritis condition for 30 years which had left me with a body of sore, inflamed joints and connective tissue and underdeveloped muscles, all limiting what I was able to do physically. A big negative for my quality of life. After our first few sessions Seth had me figured out and understood how to proceed. In retrospect I think Seth saw me as a personal challenge. It wasn’t easy at first, but exercising 3 times a week was quickly beneficial to my mental and emotional health and general happiness. Soon I was looking forward to my workouts. Preventing injury and further damage to my joints was paramount to Seth; each session began with an accounting of where I am sore, and is it more sore than normal? Over time we determined which exercises were good for my body, my specific injuries, and which exercises to avoid. I learned to appreciate that intentional approach to exercise. I never felt like he was winging it; he had a goal for me, and a plan. Seth worked methodically to decrease my pain, while increasing my strength and stamina. Today, at the age of 76, 90% of my joints are pretty much pain free, I’m stronger than I have ever been and I’m continuing to get stronger. Not much more to say except – Thank You Seth!

What I offer is results beyond what you would be able to attain in a traditional gym.
My holistic approach to health, fitness and weight loss encompasses nutrition and lifestyle along with maximizing the efficiency of your time spent exercising.
My system uses a variety of modalities—such as HIIT, plyometrics, free weights, yoga, massage and flexibility— to sculpt, tone, and create lean muscle mass while preventing injuries.
Along with workouts I will teach you how to use nutrition to regulate your metabolism so that your body burns the food you eat rather than storing it as fat!
Back in the 90s, I dislocated my shoulder in a motorcycle accident. It never healed properly and throughout the years the pain just got worse and worse and it would come out of joint all the time. All the doctors I talked to said my only option was surgery. I didn’t have good health insurance so I just couldn’t afford that. I was in pain to the point where it was affecting my work. In 2016 I met Seth. I explained to him over the phone what my situation was, and I started exercising with him the following week. Seth took the time and started slow, even checking with me the day after our workouts to see how I was doing. I started feeling better within two months, the pain was gone in my shoulders and I was gaining muscle. I could now lift things over my head, and it hasn’t dislocated again since 6 months after we started working out. Long story short that was almost 10 years ago and I look forward to every workout with him. I’ve learned so much!

“I am in the best shape of my life at 47. I honestly believe I wouldn’t have made it through my illness had I not been training with Seth prior and during. I can’t say enough about him as a first rate trainer.”
