About Jervis
I was born in St. Lucia, which is a small but beautiful Caribbean island nation. When I was sixteen I started lifting weights. My body responded quickly to the intense training and I really enjoyed the time that I spent at the gym. That is why I decided to start body building. I ultimately became a competitive body builder. I have entered seven body building competitions that I placed in the top three in all of them.
My interests went far beyond body building alone. I was interested in all facets of exercise and physiology. I became an aerobic instructor teaching classes in both water and studio aerobics. At the same time, I began studying to become a personal trainer.
When I moved to New York, I put my body building career on hold. I decided to become a full-time personal trainer so I obtained certifications as a trainer and advanced certifications in Advanced Flexibility Training and Pre/Post Natal Exercise. I was an independent personal trainer until I joined Crunch Fitness. At Crunch was I was the “Top Producing Trainer” for ten years. As of 2007, I established by personal training business.
My clients vary in age, weight, health, goals and personalities. I work with each of them to help them obtain the goals they seek. My objective is to tailor their program to their individual needs while providing a variety of routines and exercises so each session is fun and interesting. A testament to the success of this approach is that I have many clients who have been with me for over ten years.
Based on my experience, I know I can be of value to you and help you achieve your fitness goals.
