Personal Trainer in Las Vegas – Hey! My name is Aaron, and this is my story: It all started in the year 2011 as I approached the end of my junior year of high school football. It was a Friday night. Eager to make a play on kickoff coverage, I ran down to tackle the returner, I knocked him out of bounds, we slammed into the ground then I quickly realized I couldn’t move my left leg. Luckily, I was on my team’s sideline. I suffered from what I thought at the time, was a major leg injury but turned out to be a simple quad contusion.

No problem, right?…I thought it was the end of the world, but it only took 3-4 weeks to heal. Therapy with my athletic trainers and coaches involved some of the most painful experiences of my life but I’m thankful for it. I ultimately made a full recovery and continued playing the sport that I loved.But let’s backtrack.I’m originally from Rockford, IL. Growing up, there wasn’t much to do but be outside, play sports and get into trouble. After getting into trouble with the law as a kid, it didn’t take long to realize that was a dead end. I can confidently say, choosing organized sports saved my life.Fast forward:Prior to receiving my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at Northern Illinois University and becoming a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach, I worked in an automotive factory, in fast food, even dabbled in car wash management.

When I tell you nothing is more satisfying than helping others like the way my coaches and trainers helped me, I mean it. During undergrad, my favorite volunteer opportunity was the CATCH Program, a childhood obesity awareness and nutritional education program in Sycamore, Illinois. Also, being one of the leaders of the NIU Exercise Science Club was an amazing experience. It put everything into perspective and prepared me for coaching in the real world.

Once I graduated and relocated to Las Vegas, I worked as a physical therapy technician. I immediately knew I wanted to pursue a career working with athletes that may have gone through what I went through. The path I’ve chosen requires patience and resiliency. There are plenty of ups & downs and the work is never done, but I am blessed to be in a position to help others and I look forward to helping you on your path to greatness!
