Introduction
For college, I went to Johns Hopkins University and graduated in 2015. In high school I swam for Long Island Aquatic Club, a nationally ranked swim program, and made it to the state competition my senior year. My sister swam for the Jamaican National Team for four years, and I was able to get some experience seeing what their training is like as well. Today, I utilize all of the information and experience to help me more quickly get my clients to the specific results that they are looking for. Personally guiding clients to their swimming or fitness goals is very gratifying, especially because whether that is weight loss, stomach slim-down, increasing strength, finally learning how to swim, improving swim stroke to be an efficient swimmer, full body transformation, anxiety coaching, breathing coaching, athletic event prep, cycle race prep, gaining muscle, toning up, increasing strength, or just doing a little something for their next Instagram photo shoot, there is no greater feeling than seeing someone truly enjoy the many benefits of a personal training sessions or swim lessons, which ultimately changes the course of their overall health or quality of life for the better. I've noticed that most people go through trainers or instructors and do not continue simply because the rapport is not built or their needs are brushed over. Throughout the years, I have made it a singular goal of mine to ensure that each client has an amazing experience from the start. This is what I believe has led to my success. My only objective is to build immediate rapport, each and every time, so that I can effectively communicate better with the client. Lastly, providing exceptional customer service, to me, is equally as important as anything else. Looking forward to getting started!

It was a pleasure to work with this young man. Very professional. He exhibited positive reinforcement of basic teaching skills. His quite caring attention to my grandsons was welcomed. Teaching requires patience and Mr. Patrick as my grandchildren refer to the teacher displays an abundance of patience. We are looking forward to future lessons learned

I can’t thank Horace enough for the amazing experience I had with him as my swim instructor. When I first started, I had zero clue about swimming—I couldn’t even manage to float without feeling awkward. But thanks to Horace’s patient and thorough teaching, I’ve gone from barely knowing what to do in the water to confidently swimming back and forth with ease. I’m now feeling more than ready for my summer trip, where I’ll be swimming a lot! What really stood out was how Horace approached training holistically. Not only did he teach me swimming from scratch, but he also worked with me in the gym to improve my strength and endurance, which directly helped my swimming technique. His workouts were tailored to help me swim faster and more efficiently, making each session feel purposeful and connected. Horace has an advanced level of knowledge and expertise, which really shines through in how he customizes every session. He also offers great packages, making it super accessible for anyone looking to improve their swim skills. I highly recommend him for anyone at any level—whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your swimming to the next level!

I’ve started with Horace this week for personal training, and I really feel like I’m getting great service for what I paid for. He lays out a work out plan personalized for your goals and over time gets you to where you need to be. Any area of fitness you need addressed, he can improve you on. Highly recommend for anyone getting a physical trainer for the first time.

Patrick has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey, encompassing everything from muscle gain and weight loss to dietary guidance and flexibility improvement. His approach is incredibly comprehensive, tailored precisely to my needs and goals. Firstly, Patrick's expertise in muscle gain and weight loss is unparalleled. Through targeted workouts and progressive routines, he guided me step-by-step, ensuring each session was challenging yet achievable. His understanding of anatomy and exercise physiology meant that every exercise was purposeful, maximizing results without risking injury. Moreover, Patrick's nutritional advice was invaluable. He didn't just provide generic meal plans but took the time to understand my dietary habits and preferences, crafting a personalized nutrition plan that complemented my fitness goals perfectly. His practical tips and adjustments were easy to integrate into my daily routine, making sustainable changes that supported both my muscle gain and weight loss objectives. In addition to strength training and diet, Patrick also incorporated swim lessons into our sessions, which were surprisingly effective. His clear instructions and keen eye for technique helped me improve my swimming skills significantly, adding a fun and refreshing dimension to my workout regimen. Furthermore, Patrick understood the importance of flexibility and mobility in overall fitness. At my request, he incorporated dedicated stretching sessions into our program, helping me to enhance my range of motion and prevent injuries. These sessions were not only relaxing but also incredibly beneficial in making me feel more limber and agile. Overall, Patrick's holistic approach to fitness coaching has been transformative. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to adapt to my evolving needs have not only helped me achieve my initial goals but have also inspired me to maintain a healthier lifestyle in the long term. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to make meaningful improvements in their fitness journey, whether it's gaining muscle, losing weight, improving flexibility, or simply adopting healthier habits.
