YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER: DR DALE NELSON
(PHD in Sports Science)
I will be one of your many personal trainers. I was a track and field athlete, trained by several coaches and personal trainers during my career, learning different effective techniques along the way. I have competed at the highest level and successfully adapted my body to different sports.
I have designed the ultimate home training program to work as a standalone or alongside your existing program. If starting late, join the latest program. I will take care of the rest.
