WHY DID YOU BECOME A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR?

When I started working out, I had no clue how to go about things. Day by day I started to figured it out for myself. I became more educated. Then I realized that there were other people in my boat and I decided I wanted to teach them. Thus began my journey.

FAVORITE GO-TO PUMP UP SONG?

Weightlifting and gangsta rap go together like ham and cheese!

FIRST GROUP FITNESS CLASS YOU TAUGHT?

“Butts and Guts” class at the BSC Wellesley. I was a sub and happy to do it, but then it turned out people liked it. I did it every Friday for 3 years.

FAVORITE MOVIE?

Fight Club

FIRST JOB?

Olympia Sports. They had cool sneakers.

HOMETOWN?

Boston

FAVORITE JUNK FOOD?

Sicilian pizza (thick crust…..thick crust)

FAVORITE RESTAURANT?

Hmmmmm, Del Friscos.

GO-TO WEEKDAY MEAL?

Meat….Steaks, chicken, more steak, and leafy veggies.

PERFECT SUNDAY AFTERNOON?

Morning lift, Pats football in the afternoon, food on a grill, and maybe a few dirty Sprites.

FAVORITE WORKOUT GEAR?

I enjoy the process of putting on my tights, my socks, the tape on my thumbs, and picking out the graphic tee I want to wear. It’s not the gear, it’s the process. The calm before the storm.

WON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT?

Young money, cash money. Boston is expensive.

GUILTY PLEASURE?

As a fitness instructor and lover of life, people get surprised when they see me out a restaurant, a concert, or Celtics game. The truth is my “guilty pleasure” is enjoying this great city. Most people work out for two reasons, right? Sanity and vanity. 99% of people do it for sanity. That’s why I do it. Keeps me sane and level so I can enjoy life to the fullest.

IN TEN YEARS I WILL BE _____?

I live day by day and attack each day head on. Bill Belichick said it best, “We’re on to Cincinnati.”

TIMES A DAY YOU CHECK SOCIAL MEDIA?

Too many.

HAVE TOO MUCH OF?

Ehhhhh….next question.

MORE ESSENTIAL: WATER OR COFFEE?

Both. I’m greedy.

FAVORITE VACATION SPOT?

I love beaches and all but Vegas…Yeah.

GETS YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING?

The opportunity to make the best of each day. You only get 24 hours to make a difference.

IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE IN THE WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE?

Bern K. Prince

CELEBRITY YOU’D MOST LIKE TO MEET?

Tom Brady

WHO INSPIRES YOU?

It’s never one person: I am lucky enough to meet engaging, smart, funny people who show me that there is so much more than a PR or how fast I run or how high I jump. I meet so many people every day that scratch tooth and nail to do tremendous things.
