The value of expert coaching


Hiring a trainer is an investment in your long-term health. Beyond just counting reps, a coach in Chicago teaches you the mechanics of movement, helping you build a foundation that prevents injuries for years to come.


Important credentials to verify


Don't be afraid to ask about a professional's background. Certified experts typically hold qualifications from major organizations like the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) or the American Council on Exercise (ACE). These certifications ensure they follow industry-standard safety protocols.


Ways to reduce your coaching costs


If you are on a budget, online personal training is a great option. Virtual coaches often have lower overhead costs and can pass those savings on to you, offering high-quality programming at a more competitive price point.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?

I will aim to motivate you to achieve your goals. I am not the type of training that will yell or scream in your face. I will use positive reinforcement to help push you to be your best. Please feel free to check my website or Yelp for personal reviews. SPORT Fitness Chicago

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?

Hard work and dedication. It will not be easy. You have to put in the time and be consistent. With consistency, hard work, dedication, and healthy eating, the results are endless.

What do you love most about your job?

I am very passionate about fitness. I love workout out myself and I enjoy helping others. It's very rewarding to see results-whether it's your own results or helping someone else.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I was tired of working for a big chain gym and giving away more than half of the training session cost to someone who didn't even know I existed. After building up my own business as an independent personal training, I open up my first Personal Training Studio. I have since moved locations, to a bigger and improved facility. I own my Personal Training Studio in Chicago and I also do in home training in the North Shore.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry. I am a Personal Trainer, I've been a Fitness Director for a big chain gym, and I currently own my Fitness studio. I specialize in general fitness, weight loss, endurance training, and strength training. I have also competed in MMA, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I can provide services via Zoom, if requested. I can also travel to a client's home, use my personal garage gym, or do outdoor workouts during the summer.
