What does fitness mean to you?

The tried and true back squat. Because it works.
 
What is your least favorite exercise?
The tried and true back squat. Because it works.
 
Who do you look up to and why?
I look up to every small business owner, I've ever met. The courage to take the risks they do, has always fascinated me.

Pizza, Chocolate Chip Cooke Dough Ice Cream, and the 12 oz. curl
 
If you were a superhero who would you be and why?
Peter Quill because he just wings it.

David Harned

Personal Trainer

I take a practical and long-term approach to fitness. I believe in establishing a solid foundation of strength training with all my clients. A strong body is a capable body. Whether you want to shed a few pounds, improve athletic performance or live healthier, strength training can be customized for every individual. I strive to teach all my clients to perform foundational movements safely and effectively. Understanding how to properly execute foundational movements is an acquired skill which directly applies to activities of daily living, and this can also contribute greatly to improving quality of life and reducing the likelihood of injury.

What does fitness mean to you?
Being capable to carry out a task or to follow-through with what you set your mind to.
 
What is your favorite exercise?
The 1-arm Kettlebell Clean. It’s a full-body low-impact lift that requires a combination of power, strength, coordination, and technique to execute effectively. Do it enough times and it makes for an effective cardiovascular exercise too.

The burpee. No explanation needed.
 
Guilty Indulgence.
Cookies & cream ice cream. Any brand, from any place. I’ve never had a bad batch.
 
What do you do when not at the gym?
