As a youngster I was always athletic, and I thought I was going to be a hockey player—sports consumed most of my life, and fitness wasn’t even a thought.

But as I got a little older and my weight started to increase I found myself being self conscious, and, of course pudgy and shy kids can get singled out. That was a feeling that I needed to change as it was affecting my level of confidence.

My family moved from Philadelphia to New Jersey when I was 13, and although I was initially not sure about my surroundings, it tuned out to be one of the best things that happened to me. I met new friends who became like brothers: we played music every day and our rock band is still together trying to be rockstars!

I was introduced to the gym when I was 18 and became obsessed with physical fitness and the science of working out. Each day was filled with studying and learning. My first job was the fitness director for Giant Fitness and my journey had begun. Over the past decade I have worked at various gyms; LA, Retro, Planet, and Edge Fitness, holding every position from front desk to upper management.

In the summer of 2021 I finally realized I had enough ability and experience to go be independent. I was tired of the way large gyms were impersonal towards clients and staff alike. So in September 2021 Enhanced Health and Fitness became a reality, first in a small facility before expanding to our current location in February 2022.

The new space is an ideal size; it allows for a more comfortable fitness experience for people who are intimidated by larger gyms, or who are, at first, unsure about what to do. In these friendlier surroundings we are able to generate the self-confidence you need to improve the quality of your life—either within your own personal space, or along with new friends.

Our mission here at Enhanced Health and Fitness is to provide a fun, detail oriented small-group experience to help you enhance the quality of your life.
