What Clients Say
“This man’s knowledge, dedication and passion is unmatched. The results speak for themselves — I feel completely transformed and better at my movements with each session. Working with him has been one of the greatest investments I’ve made.”
“I have worked with a plethora of personal trainers and no one has come close. He takes the time to really understand the pain points in your body. I had so much shoulder pain and he completely alleviated that. Pretty much instantly. He redefines personal training.”
“Gregg is an amazing trainer with so much knowledge about the body, muscles, and movement. He explains things clearly and is great at stretching — I always leave feeling better and more mobile. Highly recommend.”
The Practitioner
I grew up in Boston as the oldest child in a first-generation Haitian family barely clearing the poverty line. I carried a lot — the weight of the household, the pressure of being the firstborn, and the kind of rage and confusion that builds when the world around you is hard and the tools to process it are limited.
In my early twenties I found Capoeira Angola. It changed everything. Not because it made me tougher — because it gave me somewhere to put what I was carrying. The ginga, the jogo, the relationship between attack and evasion that mirrors something true about how human beings navigate difficulty. For the first time I had a language for what my body was holding. The rage became something I could work with instead of something that worked against me.
That opened my world to martial arts, to holistic body movement, to the understanding that the body is not a machine to be trained but a living system that carries everything we have ever been through. From that moment I have been dedicated to helping people — at every age, every stage, every background — begin and further their journeys with their own bodies.
“Most trainers count reps. I read the body. Those are two completely different jobs.”
I learned Capoeira Angola under Zumbi, a practitioner formed in the lineage of Mestre Moraes and Mestre Deraldo — two of the most significant figures in the preservation and transmission of Capoeira Angola as a living African Brazilian martial art. Through Zumbi I received not just technique but tradition.
In Pencak Silat I am a student of Guru Dian Nurdini within the Panglipur school — one of the oldest and most respected Silat traditions in West Java. Through her lineage I developed the understanding of body mechanics, spatial awareness, and the relationship between force and flow that now informs every session I run.
Capoeira Angola and Pencak Silat are three-dimensional, whole-body, breath-connected movement systems refined across generations. That body intelligence informs everything: the way I read restriction in an adult in recovery, the way I teach a child to coordinate their body for the first time, the way I build strength with a client who has never trained before.
Standard training strengthens muscles. This practice develops something deeper — whole-body integration and the kind of functional capacity that makes every other thing the body does feel easier, more fluid, and more available.

Yes. Many clients come from yoga, Pilates, dance, or somatic disciplines and find that the martial arts-based approach addresses dimensions of movement their current practice hasn’t reached. The work complements what you already do and goes further from there.
Brief intake — where is the body restricted, what’s the history? Then fully hands-on: guided mobility work, joint mechanics, and movement restoration. The first session often surfaces patterns that have been there for years. Clients leave feeling noticeably different. No experience needed.

The Method
Years of overuse, injury, and compensation leave the body restricted in ways that standard gym training cannot reach. Movement restoration, hands-on assisted stretching, joint mobilization, and three-dimensional body repair work through the whole pattern — not just the symptom. The body knows how to heal. It needs the right hands.
ISSA-certified personal training and martial arts-rooted conditioning that builds strength through the body’s actual architecture. Capoeira Angola and Pencak Silat bring three-dimensional, whole-body intelligence to every strength session. Kids martial arts develops coordination, confidence, and body awareness from the ground up.
The body you build and repair deserves to last. Recovery practices, movement maintenance, and sessions timed to what your body needs — not a fixed program schedule. The goal is a body that works for you at every age, through every stage of life. Repair. Build. Maintain. For life.
