ISSA Specialist in Strength & Conditioning

Until recently, most people believed that power athletes are born and not made. That has changed. Modern training techniques can make anybody faster, stronger, and more powerful. Athletes at all levels - from grade school to the NFL - can sharpen their competitive edge with the help of an expert trainer. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you expand your body's capacity for challenging athletic feats while remaining strong and free from injury.

ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist

Whether you sit for long periods of time, are a weekend warrior, or fall somewhere in-between, it is quite likely that you may have a movement deficiency that is causing suboptimal physical performance and increased physical pain. As a specialist certified in corrective exercise, I can perform movement assessments, make referrals to medical professionals when necessary, and incorporate appropriate strategies into your training program to help you correct movement dysfunctions and muscle imbalances. Ultimately, this will lead to improved physical performance and reduced physical pain.

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.
