A message from Fernando...

Why I became a Personal Trainer…

I was born with a paralysis similar to that of a stroke victim.  I could not move my left arm from my side.  My left leg is ¼ of an inch shorter than my right leg.  I had to wear braces like Forest Gump when I was a child to help me walk.

During my childhood, I endured years of physical therapy to help correct my disabilities.  The physical therapy seemed to do little for me, so when I reached college I chose to learn how the body works.  I began to understand how to develop programs for people with and without disabilities.  It became my life’s passion to not only help myself but also help others to overcome their disabilities and their obstacles.

My passion became my profession.  I thrive on the challenge of building programs for my clients to develop muscles, strength, endurance, flexibility, tone, firm, and lose inches.  I also provide nutritional counseling as part of their program.

 I hope I can work with you to help you to overcome your personal obstacles and achieve your goals.

ISSA Specialist in Fitness Nutrition

Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.

ISSA Specialist in Exercise Therapy

All too often, people suffering from debilitating medical conditions are inclined to think that fitness doesn't apply to them. In reality, fitness is even more vitally important to those who are recovering from medical care. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in exercise therapy, I will soon be able to help you design a fitness program that works around your condition, giving you a healthier and brighter future to look forward to.
