My story:
Forever a Student. Dedicated Coach. Passionate Leader. Forward Thinking Entrepreneur. Community Involved Volunteer. Founder of One Sound Body.
From small beginnings as a kid, I was a multi-sport athlete and got my first taste of coaching teaching youth hockey & breakdancing. In 2005, I went to a job fair in college and was hired for my first professional coaching job at The Personal Training Institute in Port Washington, Long Island, NY. I then grew to lead the Personal Training departments at two Equinox Fitness Clubs: 85th Street Manhattan & Great Neck, NY for 7 years. Searching for an opportunity to grow, in 2012 I left corporate fitness to pursue entrepreneurship, co-owning & opening three Body King Personal Training Studios in Long Island, NY, before starting this new venture.
After successfully coaching thousands of clients & mentoring hundreds of fitness professionals over the years, teaching exercise science wasn’t enough. The mission since founding One Sound Body has been to bridge a huge gap between Nutrition Education and Fitness Education. Most gyms have a juice bar, yet they lack a qualified state licensed Dietitian Nutritionist to truly teach members how, what, when, and why to eat. Fitness and Nutrition are symbiotic of each other and most people need an individualized tailored approach to both. That’s why One Sound Body was created.
