Picture of Physical Therapist, David Spielvogel against white background with Iron Health logoAbout our presenters:

David Spielvogel received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from New York Medical College following the completion of a degree in Exercise Science from Wake Forest University. As someone who values movement at all stages of life, David has developed an interest in treating adults of all ages and all capabilities. He takes an active, evidence-informed approach that pulls from principles of biomechanics and psychosocial care to help patients achieve their personal goals.

As a former athlete and lifelong advocate of exercise, David enjoys staying active through weight-training, and hiking, as well as participating in several recreational sports throughout the year.

Head shot of Personal Trainer, Oliver Peterson with beige backgroundOliver Peterson was born and raised in Ardsley, NY and studied kinesiology at Michigan State. Initially, he wasn’t really sold on the idea of training when looking for post-college jobs after school, and struggled to figure out his path forward. He knew he wanted to be involved with sports and eventually work his way up to be around high level athletes, so decided to give training a shot. Helping and witnessing clients fulfill their goals is what he loves most about this profession. In Oliver's words, "There truly isn’t a better feeling." In his spare time, Oliver enjoys playing basketball--both organized games and just shooting around perfecting the craft (gotta try and keep the dream alive!).
