About Seth
It's my passion to bring that inner athlete to the surface in a safe, fun, and results-driven way.
As a certified personal trainer and former NCAA track athlete with over 25 years of experience, I've worked with clients of every age, fitness level, and starting point from competitive athletes chasing scholarships to people in their 70s picking up exercise for the first time.
Every workout is tailored to your specific goals with your personal needs front and center. Whether you want to gain muscle, lose weight, recover from an injury, or simply move through life without pain there's a program here built for you.
What I offer is results beyond what you'd get in a traditional gym because your program is built around you, not a class schedule.
When I started with Seth, 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 private gym has been supportive in every respect from day one.
I began my fitness path nearly 5 years ago, and Seth had just the right balance of pragmatism and encouragement to keep me focused. Over those years, I've lost weight, gained muscle, and have more stamina than I recall having even when decades younger. Seth has also 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.

Reach Out NowInjury Recovery & Prevention
Often people struggle exercising on their own because of old injuries or they get new injuries while working out that derail all their progress.
I specialize in rehabilitating old injuries and will guide you to listen to your body so we can prevent new ones as we work toward your goals. Every session starts with an honest accounting of how your body feels that day because smart training respects what your body is telling you.
At 68 I took the giant step of starting training with Seth I had never exercised before in my life. I had a chronic arthritis condition for 30 years leaving me with sore, inflamed joints and underdeveloped muscles. After our first few sessions, Seth had me figured out. Preventing injury was paramount to him each session began with an accounting of where I was sore. Over time we determined which exercises were good for my body and which to avoid. Today, at age 76, 90% of my joints are pain-free and I'm stronger than I have ever been.

Body Composition
My holistic approach to health, fitness, and weight loss encompasses nutrition and lifestyle along with maximizing the efficiency of your training time.
I'll teach you how to use nutrition to regulate your metabolism so your body burns what you eat rather than storing it and I'll build workouts that sculpt, tone, and create lean muscle while actively protecting you from injury.
My shoulder had dislocated repeatedly since a motorcycle accident in the 90s. All the doctors said my only option was surgery. I met Seth in 2016. He started slow, checked in the day after workouts. I felt better within two months the pain was gone, and it hasn't dislocated once since six months after we started. That was almost 10 years ago.
