ISSA CERTIFIED MASTER TRAINER

Joey has been with RISE for over 4 years. He started working in a physical therapy clinic and was there for 7 years before coming to RISE. He gained a ton of knowledge from the therapists in my time there and gained an eye for spotting mechanical errors in form and posture. His favorite clients to work with are the ones that are willing and dedicated in becoming a better version of themselves. Joey’s passion is in building strength along with a great physique for his clients.

As a young adult, when he started his fitness journey, injuries and lack of results became frustrating. It wasn't until he worked with a trainer himself teaching him how to lift properly that the addiction kicked in.

Fun Fact: Joey is from Smyrna, Delaware, and his favorite lift is deadlifts! “The king of all lifts! There’s just something so rewarding about lifting big weights and pushing your limits and going beyond what you think you’d never be able to lift.”
