Improving your fitness, preventing pain and injuries, changing your lifestyle habits, and keeping you healthy and happy.

My Personal Training Principles
Personal Training is the most individualized way of coaching. Client focused on your goals and personal abilities, you will get your individual fitness program. Discretion is one of my key principles in my work with athletes and clients. Personal data, health data, wishes, goals, and personal information is treated strictly confidential.
No matter if I work with kids, athletes, or elderly, one of the most important basics is a trustworthy relationship. Honesty, transparency, and trust are key for success.
​
With my background of more than a decade of coaching experience in elite sports and the healthcare sector you will get evidence-based personal training. There is no more professional personal training in San Diego!
