Results Personal Training concentrates on being up-to-date in the latest research on Sports Medicine in order to guide clients towards their goals without injury. During the initial consultation, I will assess your goals, health history (including injury and pain history), body composition and circumference measurements, as well as a postural analysis.
This postural analysis is important, because it will give me an idea of what is needed to correct muscle imbalances in order to prevent pain or injury. Preventing injury will keep you on track towards your fitness goals, and correcting posture will make your body more efficient so you can obtain results as quickly as possible.
I believe that this is a big part of what sets Results Personal Training apart from many of my competitors. I want to fix the postural problems instead of aggravating them!

My interest in sports began somewhere in childhood. I was always outside playing basketball, baseball, football, or kickball. I began playing organized sports sometime in elementary school. My freshman year in high school was filled with highs and lows. I started off making varsity basketball and did the same for softball. I played basketball and softball (sometimes on the same day) until I suffered my first Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury at the age of 15 while playing basketball. My dreams of playing basketball in college seemed crushed and my ACL injury prevented me from taking the field my freshman season. I endured months of physical therapy.I played in a huge knee brace and reinjured the same ACL the following December. This time the tear was complete and had to be reconstructed.
The rehabilitation process was arduous. The physical and psychological strains bore down on me and sent me into a depression. Injuries can sometimes be career ending. I picked up both sports after my rehab, but some things were never the same. Today, 18 years later, I still compete in softball. I love sports and still drive to be the best. In a typical summer, if I am not at the gym training I can be found at Kreig fields, diving, sliding, and running around the bases.
This is where my dedication to injury prevention manifested. Aside from the performance enhancement and sport specific training I am more driven to prevent injuries. I would rather dedicate a month to correcting postural issues in the beginning, than have an athlete sit out due to injury. Millions of dollars a year are spent in medical costs for sports injuries from Doctor’s, hospitals, and Physical Therapists. The time missed from playing sports is priceless and bares a heavy burden on the mind and heart.
- Females have 25% greater chance of ankle injury and 2-8x more likely to suffer an ACL tear
- Ankle sprains are the most common sports related injury (45%-Basketball, 31% soccer, and 25%-Volleyball)
- An estimated 80,000-150,000 ACL injuries occur annually
- 70% are non-contact
- Most injuries occur while decelerating in the transverse plane
Injury management is a critical part of recovery. Injury management can also prevent further injuries sustained from movement compensations. When someone injures themselves they typically compensate by using the other limb or another muscle group to make up for the loss of motion they experience by the injury. This can lead to joint pain or another injury in a different location. Returning someone back to a normal movement pattern can be challenging but return to full movement is rewarding.
