At Fit Factor Personal Training, which I co-own with my partner Paulo Andalaft, we help people age well. Our clients range from their late 30s to their 90s. We work with healthy individuals as well as clients with different health issues/limitations, such as joint replacements, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and more.
Exercise should support what we need, love and dream about doing for the rest of our lives. Whatever their motivation and goals, we customize our client’s fitness goals at our newly renovated space overlooking the Middle River.
I attribute much of my professional success to exercise. After college graduation, I became serious about fitness to reduce stress and give me the energy to work in corporate America for the next 35 years. Anytime I traveled for work, which was extensive, I always stayed in hotels with a fitness facility. As I have evolved, fitness and eating well have always remained important. I just kept going and let nothing stand in my way, even after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009.
It is never too late or too soon to start your fitness journey. Through exercise, we can live longer and live better.
We have a beautiful 2,700-square foot facility, with brand new state-of-art equipment, so come check us out.
We joined Riverwalk because, as a destination where you can live, work and play, it matches our values by encouraging people to be active.
