“My exercise with Bruce has been positive in many ways. I am trying to heal from radiation treatments for cancer. He knows and understands but at the same time gives me a good hour workout each time. Between extra protein and working out with Bruce I have gained 10 lbs and getting stronger. I am going to keep on going to gain more strength to fight this disease. Thank you Bruce!”

"Personal Trainers
Working with Bruce has been the experience I looked for in a trainer. Bruce has simplified my diet. He explains what I need to do on days I am on my own. The most important part of the training is to improve the strength and flexibility I have. Having two previous back surgeries and a knee replacement are the challenges that Bruce has guided me successfully through. After only one month, have have lost weight and my physical conditioning has improved 200%. I feel having Bruce helping me with my journey was the best decision I could have made."

Frequently Asked Questions

My core training focuses on building total-body stability, not just abs. I combine functional training for the core and core stability exercises to strengthen muscles that support balance, posture, and mobility in daily life.

Absolutely. I design core workouts for all ages, from beginners to seniors, ensuring exercises are safe, progressive, and adapted to individual needs and abilities.

Most clients begin noticing better posture and strength within 4–6 weeks of consistent sessions, depending on their starting point and dedication to the program.

Not necessarily. Many core stability exercises use bodyweight, though I may incorporate light weights, resistance bands, or stability balls for variety and effectiveness.
