Carl started his fitness career while serving in the US Army, by obtaining the Army Master Fitness Trainer Certification from the US Armed Forces. This allowed him to train Army Non-Commissioned Officers to lead Physical Training sessions in groups as well as individual sessions.

He became certified to teach swim lessons and spent time teaching adults basic, as well as advanced swimming techniques.

Carl has parlayed his passion for Martial Arts into his fitness studio. He has boxed and kickboxed in amateur fights in Pennsylvania and now trains his clients in kickboxing to incorporate a fun alternative to the standard cardio of the treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike. People love the diversity of the cardio kickboxing training and thoroughly enjoy the stress outlet that it provides.

He teaches undergraduate classes at Central Penn College to incoming freshmen on nutrition to help them with their transition from home cooking to cooking on their own in their dorms and apartments.

His positive attitude is a necessity in motivating your executive team and bringing their health to the next level.
