PATE: Physical Athletic Therapeutic Exercise

PATE: PHYSICAL Athletic THERAPEUTIC Exercise. This is only appropriate for my recent acceptance into Doctor of Physical Therapy program at University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences!
Soon, I will move to San Diego,CA to begin my advanced education. This post is a salute to my days of personal training!

The TRX is a suspension trainer consisting of two straps and two handles that can add a nice dynamic to one's body weight workout. Utilizing biomechanics of the body, TRX is versatile and allows for numerous varieties of exercises to target the entire body.

PATE would like to proudly announce that his original business goal was achieved. PATE maximized this week's schedule by booking 40 hours worth of sessions. Being that PATE began roughly 1 year ago, this achievement is quite rewarding. Most independent contractors take multiple years to reach the landmark of an "established" business. Woop woop!

Looking for an affordable route to a personal trainer? Enjoy having a workout partner? Need a little friendly competition? PATE offers doubles training!

Nike photoshoot in action at the New Orleans Athletic Club last week!

Though it's super cool to see Nike make a photoshoot today at the New Orleans Athletic Club, PATE is cancelling all evening sessions due to inclement weather. Stay safe and dry, ya'll.

The half-round/half-flat BOSU trainer stands for "both sides up". This simple, yet highly effective training device is used to achieve functional symmetry and balance by eliminating anatomical deviations of the body. The mental focus involved with the BOSU is an additional bonus for one's wellness!

Classic "mommy and me" training session in the French Quarter Cabrini playground!

Thanks to my wonderful client, Astrid Mussiett, along with another awesome stranger in Krewe of Muses, I have a new pair of training shoes! Ok so maybe not for athletics, but quite excited to catch these Mardi Gras gems.

New Trainers, New Techniques for New NOAC

us7.campaign-archive1.com (Tuesday, April 21, 2015, New Orleans, LA) At the New Orleans Athletic Club’s Community Outreach Lecture Series last week, three new trainers outlined programs and approaches that would have been viewed as radical just a decade ago.

Recommendation: "The PATE program at New Orleans Athletic Club has almost put me in St. Louis Cemetery Number One. But it's also increased my flexibility and agility. Finally I have a sustainable program that is customized to my specific needs." - Morgan Molthrop, author Andrew Jackson's Playbook.
