Coach Burke

Coaching is more than a good workout.

"Everyone has the ability to do better."

I enjoy working with others and being a part of your story. There is nothing that I enjoy more than seeing my clients succeed! I can show you the tools and skills it takes to get to the next level, and you'll learn how and why each movement is crucial to your goals.

My personal experience includes running half marathons and 15k's such as Utica's Boilermaker and Syracuse's Half Marathon. I also have competed in NYS Natural's Body Building. Competing in Bikini, I have been a finalist and have been awarded "Best Overall Performance" amongst a hundred competitors.

I enjoy mountaineering especially in the North East, in the Adirondacks. A proud conservationist, I enjoy researching and developing skills as well sharing with others my experiences. Many stories to share about back country hiking and camping as well as all season adventures. I also enjoy gold and singing in a classic rock band or playing guitar.

My certifications include a Master Certified Trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). Certified Sports Nutrition Specialist, Certified Physical Preparation Specialist (CPPS), Tactical Conditioning Specialist, Certified Strength & Conditioning (ISSA), and pursuing my Powerlifting Certification.

Currently a student studying Mathematics & Science, I am working hard at my degree in the sciences. Education is important so I am always learning how to be a better student and therefore, a better teacher! Sharing knowledge and putting it into practice creates a big impact!

I also have two children, Calvin who is 10 and Melanie who is 9. They both love activities and keep me busy. Fitness is a corner stone of our family life, and it is important for me to practice the principles I share with you! We strive to have an honest, balanced, and healthy lifestyle!
