Personal Trainer Bio/ Background
Rick is a
in home personal trainer
in North Atlanta, GA
and the local areas.
Rick's road to
becoming a celebrity
fitness trainer
started much
differently than
most people in the
industry. He proved
early on that he
thinks outside the
box, and never back
away from a
challenge! At the
age of 14, Rick and
a few of his friends
were dared to sign
up to audition for
their high school’s
all-girl dance
squad. Although Rick
had never had a
dance class in his
life at that point,
he didn’t hesitate
to go for it...and
to his surprise,
became the first and
only male to ever
make the team!
Dance seemed to come
very naturally to
Rick, so he enrolled
in ballet classes at
his local dance
studio, and he
eventually gave up a
hefty Honors
Scholarship to study
Journalism in favor
of a coveted spot in
the prestigious
School of American
Dance and Arts
Management at
Oklahoma City
University. Rick
graduated Magna Cum
Laude four years
later, and what
began as a dare then
translated into a
successful career as
a professional
performer. Rick
mastered careers as
a dancer, actor,
singer,
choreographer and
aerialist... work
that took him to all
7 continents by the
time he was 25. At
the age of 24, he
won the prestigious
Silver Leo Award in
Choreography at the
Jazz Dance World
Congress in New
York, whose past
recipients include
“So You Think You
Can Dance” mainstays
Mia Michaels and Ray
Leeper. Rick has
appeared on stage
and in film with
celebrities such as
Billy Crystal,
Marisa Tomei, Bette
Midler, Neil Patrick
Harris, Patrick
Swayze, Florence
Henderson, and
legends Liza
Minnelli and Carol
Channing. He has
been a Stunt
Coordinator for
several major
entertainment
companies, and Rick
most notably
portrayed Tarzan on
stage for Disney for
over five years...a
role that brought
him international
recognition.
Rick’s interest in
fitness began when
he studied as an
aerialist with
Cirque du Soleil in
Las Vegas. His
subsequent work as a
professional
aerialist and
acrobat required him
to hit the gym more
often in order to
build his strength
and endurance, and
soon he was addicted
to pushing the
limits of what his
body could do.
Always on the move
from one country to
the next and not
always able to find
a gym, Rick
developed his own
fitness regimen in
order to keep his
body in top
condition.
He took elements
from his dance
background, mixed in
some yoga and
Pilates, and
stirred in a
creative dash of
several other
fitness disciplines,
including Swiss Ball
techniques,
kickboxing and
resistance weight
training.
His improved
physique soon caused
many people to
approach him about
his fitness habits
and routines, so he
began teaching his
methods to friends,
colleagues, and
fellow
performers. Before
long, he was working
as an ACSM Certified
celebrity trainer
and fitness coach
around the world!
Rick is well aware
that the hardest
part of embarking
upon a new fitness
regimen is getting
started, so he has
used his extensive
experience and the
latest in exercise
science to develop
innovative and
effective workouts
that challenge,
inspire, and create
the positive
momentum needed for
his clients to stay
motivated. Rick’s
phenomenal programs
provide
individualized
exercise training,
health education and
nutritional
information in a
fun, supportive
environment, at
highly competitive
rates per session.
Session Package
Deals and Dual
and/or group
training is also
available for a
reduced rate.
Session lengths are
generally 30
minutes, 60 minutes,
or 90 minutes.
In-Home Sessions are
available.
Rick currently works
as a free-lance
personal trainer and
group fitness
instructor in the
Atlanta and North
Georgia area.
