“Not every workout is going to be perfect. Sometimes you have to listen to your body and do what your body is capable of on that day. Remember a “bad” workout is always better than no workout.”
Education & History:
One look at Aaron and anyone may ask what sports he played. Ironically, Aaron was an unathletic child who always had a note to get out of gym class, all the way through high school. His fitness journey began in college from a desire to look good. He began to research fitness and workout for aesthetics, this quickly developed a passion. Aaron quit his college career in accounting to work for a gym. Everyday he declared to the fitness manager that he wanted to be a trainer, but they made him work his way up from towel service to cleaning to floor management. Finally, Aaron was invited to take the NASM certification and became the top trainer at that gym. Years later, he became a NASM Master Trainer and holds the certifications listed below.
Work History:
Aaron has been working in gyms for 20 years. From floor management to becoming the top trainer at several gyms, Aaron knows his way around fitness. For the last 8 years he ran a successful private training business. He is joining Gym Tonic for the community and connection that is missing from private training.
Fun Trivia:
Aaron loves his jeep, which he bought just before covid with no intention of taking it offroad. During quarantine with little to do, he discovered the love of off-roading with trips to Big Bear and Arizona. He loves dogs, especially boxers, he just added a rescued boxer to his family.
