Larry has over 8 years of experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder. 
In college, Larry studied kinesiology.  Larry is also a certified kickboxing instructor and has extensive knowledge about biomechanics applying to the knees, ankles, neck, and lower back.  Larry has been trained in the correction of all major postural distortions.  Larry can use a combination of exercise, stretching, and massage to improve your posture and reduce aches and pains. 
Larry’s experience as an amateur light-heavyweight bodybuilder has also made him an expert in weight loss, muscle gain, and shaping specific areas of the body.  When Larry competed in 2007 and 2008 he weighed between 190-198 pounds with a bodyfat percentage of 4%(caliper test).  Larry also works with athletes to improve power, agility, coordination, speed, strength, and balance.  
Larry has also worked with children, elderly, and large groups.  If you have a physical injury, such as tendinitis, chondromalacia, plantar fascitus, bulging discs, etc, Larry will customize your program to be both safe and effective.  If you have a physiological limitation such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc, Larry has experience working with these limitations as well.
Larry previously worked as a Fitness Director for a global fitness chain.  Larry’s job was to train and mentor neophyte trainers and keep the training department fresh, exciting, and on the cutting edge.   Larry taught his trainers how to use the newest fitness equipment and incorporate the latest training techniques.
Your training with Larry will be both fun and informative.  Larry’s attention to detail is what sets him apart.  Larry will make sure you know the "how" as well as the "why" behind each and every exercise we do.  Larry is very patient and encouraging.   Regardless of your current ability level, you are certain to emerge from your training with Larry as a skilled and confident exercise

Hey Jason,
Just wanted to take a few minutes to say what an amazing trainer Larry has been. He has an incredible knowledge of exercises, stretches and diet, and has a very clear and easily understood manner in communicating them. His attention to correct and proper form was particularly strong, and I know I carry that over when I exercise on my own. I feel I have made tremendous progress since I have started with him, and I would ,and do, highly recommend him to everyone I meet that is looking for a trainer.
Thanks to you and to Larry! --------Doug Wolf

Over the years, I've tried a lot of different activities in the name of health and challenging myself (including becoming a vegan for 2 years and running a marathon), but I secretly always hoped it would give me that cover of Runners World physique.  It didn't!  Eventually, I had accepted that no matter how hard I worked, my body was naturally just oddly shaped and that I was fit and that's just good enough considering I was still in much better shape than most of the people I knew.
I honestly was blown away by the results that I saw in just the first 3 weeks of training with Larry!  In addition to helping me get rid of my butt, Larry has been helping me correct posture issues that I wasn't even aware of eliminating knee pain I had occasionally gotten from running for the past 4 years. 
He has a very in-depth knowledge of kinesiology and nutrition and has explained away many of the myths from those bizarre fad diets and exercise routines we try to ignore but that somehow get into our heads anyway.  Probably the most valuable thing I've learned from Larry and Jason is that staying in great shape isn't nearly as time consuming as I had imagined it would be.  I only wish I'd known this 10 years ago when I was working so hard for half of the results.  Julie

I've trained with Larry for over 3 years and initially my goal was to lose 20 lbs and tone certain areas of my body. Larry made that challenge fun and attainable. But the true testament to Larry's skills is teaching me how to keep it off and still be able to enjoy my life. Anybody can lose weight; the challenge is keeping it off. I've been able to keep the
20 lbs off ever since and continue to train with Larry to stay healthy and fit. Larry has taught me how to eat properly so that I can stay at my goal weight while still enjoying the finer things in life (that would be ice cream).

I have worked with a number of trainers over the years so I have a good basis for comparison.  I was happy with my other trainers at the time but Larry has proven to be the best.  He has an excellent knowledge of physiology, and a keen awareness of how each exercise looks when done properly.  He explains each exercise in simple terms that I understand easily.  He is able to tell me exactly where I should feel each exercise, allowing me to know whether I’m doing it correctly.  His feedback gives each of my work-outs optimum efficiency.  I have obtained incredible results, and learned a lot in a short time.  Larry is very professional.  I never feel intimidated or embarrassed even if I can’t do something right away.  He always puts me at ease, interjecting encouragement and humor.  He makes the work-outs as much fun as they are effective.  Will
