In changing their bodies, AJ’s clients change their lives. Her Master-level coaching is underpinned by an artillery of accreditations from the fitness industry's premiere institutions. AJ’s creative approach and continuous study command programs that never stand still, always moving and evolving with the client, while striking equilibrium between challenge and joy.
AJ is the inventor of Ab-Ribbon, an abdominal proprioception device for core and breath-work enhancement. She is also creator of HYPOXiX, a ground-breaking method of fitness programming integrated with evidence-based breathing patterns that restore core strength, and optimize the nervous system, body composition, and brain function. Her invention BANDSQUID is a band set creation that optimizes the length, tension, and attachment points of bands for a more effective workout.
Not only an inventor, AJ is also a researcher in the field of breath-work and exercise with her studies showing statistically significant results in the area of fat-loss, strength gain, and metabolic rate performing extended exhales and retentions with functional training. Her second study in partnership with New York Institute of Technology is looking at lactate, HRV, and hypoxia with her breathing technique.
AJ is privileged to prepare celebrity clients to grace the covers and pages of Health, Shape, Women’s Health, and Harper’s Bazaar magazines. Her work with premiere fitness brands Adidas and Reebok have led to successful marketing campaigns featuring Karlie Kloss and Danai Gurira. Prepping actors for roles that require a high level of strength and agility at both a muscular and cognitive level, is an area of specialty that AJ has used to prep actors for both Marvel productions and the AMC show The Walking Dead. AJ's scientific interest in altitude training has led her to become a world specialist at prepping actors for roles at altitude inside New York City's only sea level altitude studio. She uses her artistic sense, cultivated through years as a performer, and her 20 years knowledge in personal training and exercise science to create a plan for the actors to be as agile and vibrant at altitude as they are at sea-level!
Celebrity clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, Lauren Cohan, Amy Schumer, Jessica Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld, Blythe Danner, Bette Midler, Christian Serratos, Susan Kelechi Watson, Corey Stoll, among others.
AJ brings her 15 year Broadway career into each session as she firmly believes in combining art, intuition, and science to create programs that are both efficacious and FUN!
AJ joyfully resides in New York with her husband and two children.
