Daniel Abercrombie
trainer
My clients have described our sessions as fun, challenging, and thorough. I take pride in my clients by developing premium exercise programs to achieve the results they desire. Each of my clients follow a thoughtfully crafted routine specifically designed to their needs, skills, and schedule. My favorite exercise is the squat, all variations. I believe it is a fundamental component of any athlete regimen and is also an effective movement providing positive benefits to the general population client. Lets train!
I have seven years of one-on-one personal training experience, as well as group personal training experience with a variety of populations. I have a diverse athletics background with high-level state competition experience in a multitude of sports including football, basketball and track.

Sashi Wilson
