Experienced tutor in Personal trainer in Des Moines, Anthony offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

When I started with Wharton Method Martial Arts & Fitness, I was looking for someone who could be flexible with my work schedule, be able to guide me whether virtually or in-person, hold me accountable to what I eat, and give me guidance on how to improve my diet. His knowledge of how to adapt and adjust workouts to fit your needs and improve your technique and abilities blows me away. I have been amazed by the progress I have made in little over a month with hour sessions only 2-3 times a week.

To change things up, I have brought my teenage daughters to work with us on martial arts and defense techniques. Something every girl should know! They have had so much fun working with Him. He is patient, funny, and has a way of explaining things that allows them (and me) to pick up different moves quickly and easily!

I would highly recommend him for any of your fitness needs!

Great teacher, awesome technique! Challenging not only physically but mentally as well.

Boxing with Anthony has been great and he does a good job explaining not just the moves but the why behind it. Definitely recommend!

The variety in workouts and the overall general health/nutrition guidance provided. Easy to work with and is very encouraging, wants you to succeed with your goals.

Anthony is both motivating and kind-hearted. A pleasure to work with!

I always left a lesson feeling better about myself and what I accomplished. Even on days I didn't feel up to the lesson, the support and coaching expertise had me smiling!

Anthony adjusts his training to his clients goals & abilities. He challenges his clients to go past their comfort level without making it feel impossible. He is serious about the training but also incorporates a level of fun. I would highly recommend him as a trainer.

I have had a few different trainers over the years and while they were great, Anthony is awesome. He is very dedicated to his clients, with a superb eye for detail. He is all about form and safety. Just when you think you’ve nailed it, he tweaks your form just a little to make the exercise harder. I feel he reads his clients well and knows how to push them, but right along the appropriate level of motivation for each client. He knows when I’m slacking and he knows when I’ve pushed myself as far as I should. Anthony cares about his clients and their goals, and holds both himself and his client accountable for those goals. I never felt closer to my goals as when I workout with Anthony. Although the workouts were hard, I loved the variety and mix of the sessions and he changed them up at just the right time. Highly recommend!

Extremely talented!

Anthony takes the time to understand your goals to help you find the right way to tailor to help you achieve them while being an expert in his field and making it fun and something to look forward to every time.

I trained w Anthony on strength training. He's extremely patient in his teachings not only with technique but the importance of technique. He helped me understand muscle structure, groups, and terms since I knew nothing about body composition or the relationship to its functions. He took time to learn what my body best reacted to and what was most effective as far as training technique or methods. He's definitely caring, compassionate, and serious about his work. At the same time he makes the workout fun and a positive challenge. He taught me fundamentals I've carried into my own workouts to this day. As I now live 13hrs away, I miss my training w him. But, he's always open to assist whenever I have questions on training, diet, or whatever I need to have more effective results. He's helped me maximize my strength while having understanding in the process.

Passionate

Anthony is an excellent trainer. He tailors each session to the unique needs of his clients. It’s evident that he genuinely cares about my goals and progress. He pushes me to my full potential. I would highly recommend Anthony as a trainer for people of all fitness levels!!

Great teacher.
Good with all ages.
Flexible schedules.
Affordable pricing.

Anthony is, without hyperbole, the ideal trainer. His workouts are well thought out and tailored to his clients’ needs (for me that’s strength training and boxing). Anthony’s expertise in and passion for what he does comes through in every workout. His approach is a great blend of encouragement and tough love and his workouts are difficult but fun.

Anthony worked with my son (age 6 when we started) and me. We were both completely new to martial arts and he did an excellent job of breaking down the movements so we could learn. He even renamed some of the movements with superhero names to help engage my son’s imagination.
I appreciated how Anthony not only taught the movements but also respect and discipline.
I’m impressed with Anthony’s knowledge, his ability to breakdown a movement and his patience.

Anthony was fantastic with his instruction and teaching martial arts. He does a wonderful job of explaining why he teaches movements and helps you learn how to think, not just fight. He is also patient, points out flaws constructively and shows how to correct them. He also gets excited when he sees improvement and learning. Highly recommend.

I have been training with Anthony for four years. He is one of the best. He has always pushed me to the next level.
