The path here

Thirty years in gyms, twenty in the clinic

Greg's career sits at the intersection of two worlds that don't usually talk to each other: physical therapy and strength coaching. Most trainers have never worked a clinic shift. Most clinicians have never programmed a training block. Greg has spent decades doing both — which is exactly why Accelerate Your Fitness treats recovery and training as one continuous process instead of two separate businesses.

His clinical work goes back to 1992, starting out in physical therapy clinics. Personal training came soon after, starting in 2001 with various companies and continuing to this day. In between, he spent nearly a decade running Accelerations Gymnastics in Lititz, PA (August 2005 – May 2015), then returned to clinical PTA work at Rehab Associates of Central Virginia (October 2015 – May 2017) and later Christiana Care Home Care in Smyrna (May 2017 – May 2024). Along the way, he also owned and operated the Parisi Speed School of Middletown (May 2018 – October 2020), before COVID forced it to close.

None of that time was wasted. Every stage — the clinic, the gymnastics floor, the speed school, over two decades of personal training — feeds directly into how the recovery modules and training programs on this site are built.
