I teach spin, Xvert, core classes and other classes. I have helped people recover from old injuries or stiff joints (lower back pain, knee pain, stiff wrist and much more).
 
My motivation comes from seeing people achieving their fitness goals and reacting like when they were a child with pure joy and enthusiasm. I have trained people in a wide area of skills, from muscle-up, pistol squats, 360 crescent kick or their first ever push up to just being able to squat again.
