After 21 years as a personal trainer in New York City, I’ve learned that fitness is never just about fitness. People come to me saying they want to get stronger, but what they really mean is that they’re going through something. The body holds the story.
I don’t take many training clients anymore. Instead, I consult. I help people figure out what they actually need and connect them with the right resources, trainers, or approach. I do that by listening first.
