Before we begin some more about Troy!

To understand his passion for living a healthy and fit lifestyle, Troy had to overcome health challenges of his own. One of his greatest accomplishments was losing over 67lbs in 9 months by making healthy lifestyle changes. It was through overcoming his own health struggles that inspired him to share his knowledge with others and become the best fitness professional he could be.

He is an experienced personal trainer whose clients range from Ralph Lauren, Inside Edition, The Wendy Williams Show, LVMH, Hublot and the National Basketball Association, just to name a few.

Troy challenges his clients to be their best physically through strength training - and mentally by adapting a growth mind-set.  His mission is to provide a fun, safe, and progressive platform for his clients. By teaching exercises with proper form and technique, clients will learn how to move and function better in their everyday lives.

Troy is currently studying to become a "Precision Nutrition" coach to help his clients achieve their results with a real world approach. Clients will learn how to build a healthy relationship with food and how nutrition and performance lead to optimal body composition.
