I started Impack Total Fitness January, 1st 1998 while living in Washington, DC.. I now reside in sunny Miami, Florida working primarily out of The Downtown Athletic Club. I also travel to a handful of in-home clients as well as writing programs for my online distance coaching clients. Well my goals were the same back in DC as they are here in Miami, “Get Results”. How do I get results? First of all I study other people who get results. I am also currently in school pursuing my degree in Exercise Science at Florida International University. School has been great but I must say that I’ve recieved more education outside of my schooling. Mike Boyle once said,”don’t let school get in the way of your education”, and I can honestly say that I havn’t. Aside from Mike Boyle, Dr. Mel Siff, Charles Poliquin, Paul Chek, Carlos Santana, Dr. John Berardi, Dr. Eric Serrano, Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale and Lyle Mcdonald, Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson are just a couple of coaches that have helped mold me. All of these individuals have instilled great knowledge in me to help the people I come in contact with on a daily basis. So my mentors, seminars, workshops, internships and countless hours of training myself have enabled me to help my clients get results.

What else does it take?

It takes The THREE D’s, Desire, Discipline and Determination. The three D’s and a lot of commitment is the key to long-term results, health and longevity. I would consider myself to be somewhat of a holistic strength coach.

What do we mean by Holistic?

To be holistic means a well rounded approach. There are steps one must incorporate into a lifestyle in order to achieve Total Health and Fitness. Without proper nutrition, water intake, weight training, cardiovascular conditioning, stress management and sleep being instituted in your fitness program the results will be less than optimal. There is always a missing link. Whether it’s meal frequency, food quality, nutrient timing, lack of quality sleep or simply a poorly structured exercise program I will help troubleshoot the issue and set you on the path to ultimate health.

The difference between me and other trainers and strength coaches is not only the countless hours training my clients, but also the many hours training myself. Nothing makes me more frustrated than someone teaching an exercise to someone and has never done the exercise themselves. I have been underneath the weight, felt the pain, fatigue and sweat. I know what it’s like to work hard and know what it takes to get RESULTS. So, whether you are a professional athlete, weekend warrior or housewife, my objectives stay the same. Use the 3 D’s along with proper Nutrition, adequate water intake, Stress management, resistance training, conditioning and sleep. Follow My advice and results are right around the corner, are you ready to go get em’?

Impack Total Fitness Mission Statement

My mission at Impack Fitness is to train hard, play hard and laugh even harder. We understand that in order to reach our goals hard work, dedication, discipline and consistency must be applied. My mission is simple and that’s to get you in the best shape of your life in the fastest time possible… If you’re looking for easy than this isn’t the right place for you. I’m not interested in being your babysitting or being your psychologist. Don’t get me wrong… This isn’t a “boot camp” workout! I don’t yell and will never drive anyone in the ground. I will push, motivate and progress you to ensure that you see continuous changes mentally and physically.

So, If you’re only interested in going through the motions and receiving mediocre results than don’t bother contacting me. I’m ONLY interested in working with people who are looking for extraordinary results and those willing to take themselves to places they’ve never been. That being said I may not be the right person for you… That’s ok! I’ve been changing lives almost 10 years now and I have no interest in working with people who aren’t committed. I am very selective in who I choose to work with because I’m extremely busy and don’t want to waste my time nor yours. So please read below, explore the site and check out the YOUTUBE video section. If you are commited to taking your fitness to the next level then please give me a call or email me to schedule an assessment and evaluation.

Here’s what’s going on, or should I say not going on at IMPACK FITNESS

My clients range from Professional athletes to house moms and weekend warriors. I don’t own pink dumbbells and you’ll never step foot on a Bosu Ball! There is no jumping around dancing and doing endless amounts of crunches… We get work done performing un-orthodox and traditional movements (movement being the key word) that tax the whole body. We swing kettlebells, hit sledge hammers on tractor tires, pull sleds and push wheel barrels and instead of the “typical” boring body building paridigm we do REAL “CORE” training like pushing a truck down my alley or carry a sandfilled bag. Aside from all that IMPACK training is fun, fresh and different and it flat right out burns a ton of calories! If you’re looking for a training system that builds muscle, increases work capacity, increases cardiovasular endurance and strips fat off at a rapid rate than this is for you.

People have been doing the same old thing for too long. Nothing works forever! How many more crunches and aerobic classes do you have to do to finally get some results? Let’s not forget the definition of insanity; to continue to do the same thing and expect different results. I’ve gotten extraordinary results with these types of workouts simply because it’s something completely new that your body has never seen. A great quote puts it all in perspective,” The best training routine you can be on is the one that you’re not on.” I’m tired of seeing people on treadmills reading magazines! I’m tired of people riding bikes talking on there cell phones. I’m tired of seeing the same people lifting the same pink dumbbells that they were lifting last year!

I’m going to tell you a little secret… Would you like to know why there are so many over-weight and unhealthy individuals in our country? Aside from the fact that people live off of box foods, don’t eat breakfast, works too much, don’t sleep enough and obviously Americans just don’t move enough. People want results and don’t want to do anything for it! It’s just not that easy… So what’s the SECRET? The secret is INTENSITY. We have to work harder, not longer. If longer worked than you wouldn’t see fat marathon runners, but you do. If easy worked than riding on that bike while talking to your girlfriend would work but it doesn’t. Has that abs class worked for you yet?

Look, what I’m getting at here is that if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll just get what you’ve always gotten. The fact of the matter is that simple and easy is not the same. Easy implies no effort. Simple means not complicated. Achieving total health and lower body fat levels is simple, but it’s far from easy.
