What to Expect from My Personal Training Session

Personalized workouts and guidance for seniors and adults to
improve health, mobility, and overall well-being.

When you train with me, you can expect sessions that focus on your goals, health, and strength—especially if you’re over 50 and want to stay active and independent. Each session combines resistance training to rebuild muscle, core exercises for stability, stretching for flexibility, and cardio for a healthy heart. I also guide you on nutrition to fuel your body properly.

My sessions are personalized, and I offer training sessions in my semi-private gym. If my clients have a gym at their home, I can train them there too. An online facility is also available for people who don’t live near Ocala, Florida, but still want to train under my guidance. Expect a supportive, encouraging environment where we work together to improve strength, energy, and overall well-being, all at a pace that fits you.

Range of Fitness Services I Offer

As you age, muscle loss (sarcopenia) can leave your body weaker and cause discomfort. My personalized fitness programs help you rebuild strength, improve mobility, and maintain energy, so you can stay active, independent, and feel your best. Take a look at all the fitness services I offer.

maintaining a healthy heart. Aim for at least
45 minutes of continuous activity at around 70% of
your maximum heart rate.

Providing your body with the right balance of protein,
carbohydrates, fats, and essential vitamins and
minerals can dramatically improve health, energy, and
overall well-being. Proper nutrition often outweighs
reliance on processed foods and medications.

and endurance, helping reverse age-related
muscle loss and improve overall physical
performance.

Strengthens the muscles in your torso,
including your abs, back, hips, and pelvis,

“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!”

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."
