🧵👋🏽 Hola everyone—excited to share something new✨

🗣️This isn’t just a video about what I do, but why I do it.

As a first-generation 🇺🇸🇩🇴Dominican and award-winning personal trainer, author, an EMT-B, my mission is to build bridges and empower communities through movement, mentorship, and civic action.
Caught a little #Thanksgiving spirit today! 🦃🐾

👟On my way back from Dunkin’ this morning, I heard a familiar meow along the Northern Strand in Malden. It was our local feral cat, clearly putting in a breakfast request.

🐈 I went home, grabbed some kibble and water, and headed back…

1/3 💟 Holidays and #MentalHealth: Reaching Out

The #holidays can be joyful—and they can be incredibly hard.

For many, this season brings grief, loneliness, or the unexpected weight of memory. These struggles can affect anyone: your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors. Your family.

#Caturday Clean-Grip Push Press 🐾🏋🏽‍♂️

I’m 51, with over 20 years in the #fitness industry—and I still love training for power (speed × strength). One of my favorite moves: the clean-grip push press.⚡️

🐈‍⬛But before the barbell moves, safety comes first—even if it’s just a cat toy in the way.

📣 Silence is complicity. When we remain silent, we allow hate and division to thrive.

🇺🇸To those who stand against authoritarianism and hate, who fight for equality, and who champion peaceful protest and civil discourse: You are the true patriots. You inspire us all.

🧵1/2 Fun Fit Fact! ⏰
As we age, we lose power (strength plus speed) at twice the rate of strength alone.

▶️ Watch my amazing rockSTARs (ages 65 to 94) at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose MA demonstrate a few power moves.

Why Power Training Matters:
▪️ Improved Reaction Time — helps prevent falls
