Grab My FREE Self-Guided Strength Training Starter Program
This at home program requires very little equipment but will get you started with building muscle and moving your body!
I grew up in Williamsport, PA (home of the Little League World Series!) where I played baseball and was involved in fitness from a very young age. It was from this background that my passion for strength training developed.
Prior to earning a Masters Degree in Kinesiology, I played Division 1 baseball at Coppin State University. During this experience, I realized that having a foundation based in strength was essential. It became evident to me that my passion and priority for strength training was granting me the ability to remain injury-free and reach my absolute potential. This principle applies to all of us.
Maybe, for you, it’s not baseball. Maybe it’s playing with your kids, standing up from the floor without struggle, or just a general ability to move more freely. That’s what I am here to help you with.
My goal is to provide you with the foundation that your body requires to be strong. From this strength comes your ability to move. From this movement, you enjoy a life that is as comfortable and injury-free as possible.
“My goal is to work together to teach you the right techniques and programming to get you stronger.”

Sergio's bio
I’m a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science. I’ve been training clients for 2 years and specialize in people with body transformation/strength goals as well as young athletes. That being said, I’ve also worked with many clients with all different kinds of backgrounds, goals, and experience!
I live by the motto “If it’s not challenging you it’s not changing you!”
Work with a certified personal trainer to reach your health and fitness goals, lose weight, get stronger, and learn best practices for weight lifting.
Physical Training for all Fitness levels
My job as a strength coach is to provide organization to an otherwise very overwhelming process. When you tell me what YOUR goals, YOUR priorities, and YOUR needs are, I develop a program tailored to those specifics. Then you just have to show up, be coached, and start getting stronger. You may be a former athlete or you may have never lifted a weight in your life — the starting point is always the same: show me where you’re starting at, explain to me where you want to be, and I’ll plan out the rest for you.

Beyond personal training.
Our new program, Stratified Strength, is not for your average gym-goer. This specialized program is a 3-month strength training AND nutrition program designed to teach you the tools you will need to maintain your strength and nutrition on your own. This offer is not right for everyone. Stratified Strength is high-touch and will require committment and a strong desire to learn. Space is limited.
We have a program for that too. Learn more.
