Training Philosophy

Because every person is different, their training should be tailored as well, Functional exercises build strength, balance and coordination. We incorporate functional exercise into every session to facilitate real life physical improvements. After all what good is muscle if you can't put it to real use. Secondly, joint problems, old injuries and imbalances can reek havoc when not addressed properly so we'll make sure your health history is managed.

Bio

In 1988 after serving 4 years active duty as Fitness Advisor for Myrtle Beach AFB I began working as a personal trainer for LA Fitness. 6 months into that career I bought the company and changed the name to Health Advantage Fitness. In 2004 we expanded into our current 4000 square foot studio and have thrived simply because we love to serve. Our theme "To educate and empower" is matched by commitment to watch our clients progress and thrive.
