History
Established in 1993.
My business started as an offshoot of my Ph. D program at the University of Maryland.
I had been doing seminars at Health Clubs in the DC Metro Area, teaching strength training to employees.
I did a Television spot on NBC4, and segued into a Personal Training segment. Which led me into Personal Training.
i eventually opened my own Personal Training Gym in 1997, Rich Bodies Gym, and was open for ten years. a dramatic increase in rent, resulted in the closing of my gym. I now continue to contract out as a Personal Trainer/Coach in Georgetown at Ultimate Results Gym, at 3050 K Street. as well as seeing clients at many of the Gold’s Gyms in the Washington Metropolitan area, and in addition, I also train clients in their homes.
