Welcome to the Blog

Or maybe you’re like me and had never heard this term before. I receive questions every day about how to tone different areas of the body-- the abs, the inner thighs, the glutes, the usual prospects. But then I got[...]

With Mother's Day around the corner, we wanted to dedicate a post to the most dedicated women we know. Of all the clients I work with, moms usually have to work the smartest to get back into shape. That said, moms[...]

One of the main reasons I created P.volve was that I had so many women approach me with the same question over and over again... "Why am I bulking so much?"Some women worked out every day and some only a[...]

One of my favorite foods to eat and cook with is ginger. Not only do I love the taste, but the health benefits can’t be challenged. Ginger as an anti-inflammatory, helps with digestion & absorption, cures nausea, boosts immune systems[...]

On a recent trip to LA, I got a chance to talk fitness with Lauryn Evarts and Michael Bosstick on their podcast The Skinny Confidential - Him and Her. I had such a great time talking with them about the[...]

The hips are the crossroads of the body. They are the connectors that hold everything together and are usually the route of any problem you may have in the upper body. They are the gateway to feeling good, staying strong,[...]

I’m a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. I can even say my life has been shaped by them. I’ve always taken them seriously and at the beginning of each year, I make a long list of all the things[...]

How does the old saying go? “Look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed!” Growing up I struggled with getting up and finding my energy in the morning. It was tough for me and as I learned[...]

It’s now January 2018 and almost everyone has the same mantra – “New Year, New Me.” I get it. It’s a ritual that Americans love and I’m guilty of it too. But we all know it usually doesn’t work. We[...]

The holidays are a time to spend with family, enjoy some downtime and to …eat! And I don’t believe in watching what I eat when it comes to holiday gatherings. I’m all about creating boundaries that fit within a normal[...]

One thing that I have found that differentiates my method from others is the number of reps that I do. I use the magic number 8. It wasn’t always this way and it took years of training people until I[...]

I designed my nutritional & fitness programs to build a solid functioning foundation so that when it is holiday time, we have a celebratory occasion, or simply go on vacation and want to enjoy ourselves – it is OK and[...]

Those who know me and who come to my classes at Bodies by P in Soho have heard me say that 98 percent of the exercises commonly done by women are the exact opposite of what they should be doing. These exercises[...]

  One of the biggest problems I hear about over and over again is bloating. Why am I bloated, and how do I get rid of it? This problem is common amongst not only women, but men too of all[...]

Working out is just one part of your fitness evolution – healthy bodies are also made in the kitchen! Nutrition is a key component to achieving the body you want, so I’m creating meal plans for my clients to provide[...]

For years, in every gym I have ever been to — and now, on social media — I’ve seen people doing squats. They are the staple for almost every workout and nearly everyone does them. Arnold Schwarzenegger swore by them.[...]

Since I began working primarily with women more than three years ago and the one question I get over and over again is: What kind of cardio should I be doing? My answer 99 percent of the time is: Don’t[...]

My wife and I were married back in August. She has been working out with me for more than two years and she’s the model in the majority of my Instagram photos. I’ve been gradually taking her body somewhere she[...]

Ankle weights have become one of my most essential tools in creating toned, lean legs and a lifted butt. The added weight allows the muscles to activate and work just hard enough to become prominent without breaking down and bulking,[...]

A tighter butt in just three weeks? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, I’m here to tell you it’s possible. My workout program is designed to work those hard-to-reach muscles in the inner thighs and inner butt with[...]

If you ever watch a woman carrying a baby on her hip, you will notice that the baby fits perfectly into that inward curve of her stomach (between the lower ribs and upper hip) like a missing puzzle piece. Women[...]
