Often times the hardest part is just getting started. We all suffer from it. The hesitance to commit yourself to a new routine. The fear to restart exercise post-injury. The sacrifice of time that could be spent working. These are some of the common frustrations amongst new clients. I hear you loud and clear. I've been there before too. Simply put, change is hard. ​​​​
PERSONAL TRAINING
​This is the secret... The most important thing I think you will read on this website. People find their most sustainable fitness results by taking the path of least resistance. This is how change really happens and this is our approach at Astro Gym. We position you to work your hardest by doing what works for you. Plans that require the least amount of change to your daily routine that yield the greatest results. You don't need to change everything about yourself to reach your goals.
​We make small tweaks and get you on the right track sustainably. No more of this "try really hard for two weeks and burnout/quit" nonsense. Keep it simple and smooth. Take that first step.​​
​When I first started training people professionally over a decade ago, I thought that my clients' success would be built purely on my technical knowledge. I received an Exercise Science degree from Temple University, learned better technique, programming, nutrition, etc. And still, with all of that knowledge, I found my clients having trouble getting to where they wanted to be. It took me a couple years to realize what was going on. I was having trouble connecting with them in a way that made them feel comfortable with change. This was the greatest realization I've had as a trainer.​​​​

I started training to help people find a healthier, and oftentimes happier, version of themselves. Of all of the reasons to train with me, I think the most common, and probably most important, is for accountability. I've become very good at providing accountability in a way that doesn't feel "drill-sergeanty". I am going to challenge you, but in a realistic way that actually yields results. Again, the path of least resistance. What is the point of challenging you if it isn't actually going to yield positive results?
​
One of the questions that I ask everybody during our intro session is "what is your experience with exercise?" Many state that they've had a trainer in the past, fell out of routine, and are hoping to get back into it. To that I typically respond with "awesome, what kind of programming were you doing together?" to which many respond with something like "nothing really, we were just working out."
​
Don't just "work out." Work out with an intelligent plan and a purpose. That is what I'm here for. I create a plan for when we train together and also for days that you're training on your own. It all needs to be cohesive. We execute that plan together, track our progress through available metrics, reassess, replan, redo, etc. This is how change happens over the long term, and I'm here alongside you to help take those steps.
PRICING
I strive to keep my pricing as competitive as possible. Below are the options that people most commonly request. If you'd like to learn pricing for something that isn't listed (2on1 sessions, 90min sessions, corporate events, etc.) just send me a message/call.
​*All sessions follow a 24 hour cancellation policy. If canceled within 24 hours, session will be charged in full.
