  Reuben is an aspiring health and fitness professional born and raised in New York City and holds a degree in Nutrition and Exercise Science from Bastyr University where he still visits to catch up with his favorite professors and pick fresh herbs from the garden for dinner.

Growing up in a community focused mostly on music and the arts, fitness was lacking in his life and the inability to keep up with friends athletically impacted his self-esteem and confidence. Health and wellness sparked his interest in the natural sciences, philosophy and different modes of achieving wellness.

Reuben considers himself a Humanist and sees exercise as a tool to help us better connect with ourselves and others. He takes a holistic approach in designing and implementing fitness regimens, accounting for one’s unique body, beliefs and personality, and has worked with strength & conditioning coaches, athletes, seniors, TV personalities, & people of all shapes, sizes & fitness levels. 

“I try to stay away from extremes because they’re just not sustainable. The best regimen is the one that you can actually follow, and not dread. Whatever the goal, consistency will get you there.”
