He incorporates his educational and athletic background to train his clients in a challenging, yet functional way. Aaron focuses on finding balance in your body through exercise prescription and stretching.

Before joining the Empower team in 2010, Aaron worked with a diverse clientele at a private gym on Long Island, NY. His previous experiences include working with a high risk population in a clinical setting at Duke, and training world class athletes at the Stanford University strength and conditioning department. These experiences have provided Aaron with the knowledge base to adapt his training to each individual that he works with.
Aaron has a degree in Exercise Science from Ithaca College in upstate NY, and is certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA.
As a new North Carolina resident, Aaron is enjoying getting to know the area with his wife Jessica and perfecting his golf game. During his downtime he enjoys lifting weights, playing basketball, and hitting the links whenever it’s possible. On Sundays in the fall, you will find him enthusiastically rooting for his hometown NY Giants.
