All the certifications in the world do not mean a thing if the trainer cannot apply his knowledge to his clients. This is where Tim sets himself apart and adds the most value as your trainer. Tim has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years and opened his Fitness Studios on the belief that the best way to achieve total body fitness was through an integrated approach that worked the whole body at the same time. That is why Tim has developed Strength & Movement Fitness^TM and Strength & Movement Training^TM. His revolutionary series of movements increases strength, builds stamina and improves flexibility. Tim realized that traditional training routines usually become mind-and soul-numbing; So, he incorporated his knowledge to form this multi-discipline program that is fun, challenging - and actually works.

Tim wants to make a difference in people's life by educating them in a healthy lifestyle to include exercise, nutrition and the importance of "enjoying life".

Tim likes to keep up to date on the latest fitness techniques, so he attends several fitness conferences every year to enhance his knowledge and experience. Because of this he can provide the newest and latest information to his clientele. Tim continues to challenge and invigorate clients with ever changing workout regimes. You never know what challenge he will have for you - one day it is working in the studio, the next day you will be on the water kayaking - with the kayak as your equipment and then boot camp training on an island.

Tim has been an avid Kayaker since 1979 and has guided numerous kayaking tours around Florida. Tim started Beach Adventures which is a company offering "fitness vacations", including Kayaking Eco trips. In 1998, Tim created two new Kayak fitness regimes: Kayakercise^TM- where you use the kayak to do upper body workout while kayaking to an island where you do "boot camp" fitness training; and KaYoga^TM where you kayak to an island and do yoga on the beautiful beaches of the island. Tim has been an avid Kayaker and is continually upgrading and learning all the new techniques and equipment kayaking has to offer to bring to his clients.

Tim is a long-term fitness expert. He is dedicated to his clients and helping them achieve their goals and a healthy lifestyle. He brings to his clients a holistic fitness expertise by providing mind and body programs blended with traditional (and untraditional) workout sessions that address the critical relationship between the mind and body. Tim is committed to being a true fitness professional and provides the best quality of ervice to his clients.
