II’ve dedicated my career to helping people unlock their potential through fitness. After earning my degree in Exercise Science from Merrimack College, I shaped the college’s fitness program and was honored to be nominated for Reebok’s Most Inspiring Trainer award.

Over the years, I’ve led fitness programs at some of Boston’s top facilities, working with everyone from student athletes to high-performing professionals. My approach isn’t just about building strength—it’s about fostering a community where people feel supported and motivated to achieve their goals.

This commitment has driven record-setting retention rates at every gym I’ve worked with and inspired the launch of our own fitness business, now a thriving hub supported by an exceptional team.

Fitness isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. I look forward to being part of your journey.

I look forward to meeting you!

have been coming to Heroes for 3 years this month. As a physician, I worked non-stop during Covid and did not exercise AT ALL. My plan was to try personal training at Heroes for 6-8 weeks, just to ease myself back into exercise safely... and yet here I am 3 years later. The difference between Heroes and any other gym I've belonged to (the list is long BSC, Equinox, Lifetime, etc) is the COMMUNITY that Connor and his team (Matt, Nick, Mike) have created. I have met so many great people and I love being part of the Heroes family. They have created an inspiring, positive, and supportive space for clients and their families. Matt trains my daughters as well and many clients bring their kids. The trainers are outstanding here and they challenge you to bring your A-game every day. Matt has me in the best shape of my. life and injury-free which is quite a feat as I near 50. If you are looking for gym that feels like family, motivates you to push through hard workouts, and is filled with laughter, sweat, and love, then give Heroes a try, you will not be disappointed. It's an investment in your health and you are worth it!
