Highlights from my most recent strongman show (first one at a church)

If you are unfamiliar with me, in addition to being a personal trainer with a personal training gym on Main Street in Boonton, I’m also a modern-day performing strongman. In other words, I perform feats of strength like bending steel and breaking chains as a part of a live show much as they did in circuses and theaters during the late 1800s and early 1900s but with a modern-day twist.

This video shows some of the highlights from my most recent strongman show. It was my first one at a church. Though I’m a spiritual person, I don’t often espouse my beliefs on others unless they ask and I feel they are actually open to hearing it. It was a referral from a former personal training client of mine who is a member of the congregation there. I hope you enjoy it.

No, we don’t get religious in my place. We are exclusive because we are inclusive of races, genders, ethnicities, sexual preferences etc. We don’t judge (that’s not our place). We are united under the common goal of training to be our best selves.

If you are interested in training with me, I offer a one-week trial membership. Text me at 973 476 5328 to get started.
