Your First Session
Starts With a Question
Here's how it usually goes: the first 20–30 minutes of our first session, we don't touch a barbell. I ask about your history — what you've tried, what broke down, what hurts. Most of my clients have worked with trainers before. That conversation is exactly why they're still here.
The clients I work best with are ready to put in the work — they just need the program to actually match their life. Adults 40 and up, busy professionals, people managing injuries. What they share: they're not chasing a quick fix. They want something that still holds up two years from now. My training is built around progressive overload and real recovery — every phase earns the next one.
One Trainer.
Everything You Need.
Most trainers do one thing. I combine three under one personalized program.
Strength & Conditioning
Custom lifting and conditioning programs built around your goals — whether you want to get stronger, lose fat, or just feel more athletic. Every rep has a reason.
Nutrition Coaching
No crash diets. No guesswork. I teach you how to eat to fuel your training and your life — practical strategies that actually stick for busy New Yorkers in Riverdale and Manhattan.
Injury Rehab & Prevention
Old shoulder injury? Bad back? Knee pain? I've helped clients train through and around injuries for over a decade. We work with your body, not against it.

Real Results.
“JP didn't just give me a workout — he built a program around my bad knee that actually got me stronger without pain. I've tried three other trainers. Nobody came close.”
“I'm a nurse working 12-hour shifts. JP trained around my crazy schedule and I dropped 22 lbs in 4 months. He gets what it's like to be busy and still show up.”
“The nutrition coaching alone was worth it. I finally understand how to eat. Combined with the training, I've never felt this strong in my life.”
