I have been a personal trainer for over 20 years. I began my career l in my home country of Lithuania. I have also trained in Russia and have now be training in the US since 2001. I train all fitness levels from professional athletes, to soccer moms to the morbidly obese. I have extensive experience with virtually every form of exercise, but most of my clients say my greatest asset is my ability to motivate and inspire them. I believe every individual is capable of attaining their optimum physical condition, if they are made aware of their potential and how to achieve it. As a personal trainer, I’ve worked with clients ages 14 through89 to help them accomplish things they never thought possible. We don’t all have the genes to be a super-model, athlete, or bodybuilder, but everyone can improve on what they have. My mission as a personal trainer is to educate my clients about exercise, diet, and teach them how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to empower my clients to make the most of their abilities — through knowledge, direction, and encouragement. As your personal trainer, I will provide the necessary tools to accomplish the end result, through progressively challenging and invigorating workouts. I believe in constantly changing and evolving exercise routines to ensure continual progress and alleviate boredom. I am certified by the International Sport Science Association (ISSA) as a Certified Fitness Trainer. The ISSA has been providing certification to personal trainers for over 20 years and is widely considered one of the most prestigious certifications in the industry. The ISSA is the first and only fitness organization in the United States to earn national accreditation by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). The DETC is a non-profit [501 c 6] educational association that has been recgonized by the U.S. Department of Education for over 50 years. This certification qualifies me to work with virtually any individual wishing to improve their fitness. My clients include dancers, models, musicians, doctors, lawyers, nurses, entrepreneurs, politicians, investment brokers, housewives, teachers, students, army reservists, and newspaper columnists… to name a few! I enjoy the challenge of creating effective workout routines that fit in with a person’s unique lifestyle, schedule, and needs. The most challenging and rewarding part of my work involves training people with various health issues. I have helped clients with heart disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, hypertension, HIV, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain, post-rehab, and many other conditions. When possible, I work in conjunction with a client’s doctors or physical therapists to set up a safe and effective exercise program to help improve their quality of life.
