John Azua’s Experience

• Certified Pro Trainer

  New York Sports Club

  (Public Company; Health, Wellness and Fitness industry)

  September 2003 — Present (5 years 11 months)

  I have been with New York Sports Club in West Nyack, NY since 2003 where I bring a very focused approach to training, implementing my years of experience with strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training. I love to work with people interested in sports specific training including skiing and baseball. I have always enjoyed all aspects of physical fitness and wanted to share my passion and knowledge with others in a structured setting. Working at NYSC gives me the opportunity to train individuals in a one-on-one or group setting with first class equipment.
