Because you want to get stronger safely
What’s your strength? What motivates you? What’s holding you back? My first job as a strength and nutrition coach is figuring out what it will take to get you where you want to be.
Strength and good health should be accessible to everyone, even if you don’t want to spend every spare minute in a gym. I help you find your Goldilocks-style, “just right” sweet spot to challenge yourself and advance at the right pace.
Here’s how I do it
I take a level-headed, evidence-based approach to both strength and nutrition, backed by years of study and practice. I’ll give you the “why”. This arms you with the knowledge to best work with your own body and take ownership of your physical and mental well-being.
Fitness Qualifications
- StrongFirst certified: SFG1 (kettlebells) continuously since 2013, Level 2 since 2023, and SFL (barbell) since 2018
- Certified personal trainer
- My experience ranges widely: I’ve achieved a documented double-bodyweight deadlift (beltless, at age 59), I’ve been the oldest participant in weekly parkour and BJJ classes, I’ve qualified as an international Olympic masters weightlifter for 2027 (whoo-hoo!), and am also an Osteofit evaluator.
- This allows me to bring a unique perspective to my 8,500+ documented hours of personal training delivered (as of December 31/2024) and 2,000+ hours of teaching classes
Nutrition Qualifications
- NASM-certified nutrition coach
- Competitive athlete in multiple weight class sports, requiring careful nutrition management
- Personal experience recovering from compromised gut health (due to former poor eating habits, combined with aggressive chemotherapy)
Training is a two-way street—even online!
I know what you’re thinking. “Every trainer and their dog has online fitness courses. Yawn!” But there’s one big difference: mine actually works. My online small-group classes and private personal training sessions are unique: interactive two-way communication with in the moment, real-time feedback. I see what you’re doing, and you receive input / corrections in the moment. I help fine-tune your form to maximize your gains while keeping you pain-free and safer from injury. You get all the advantages of in-person instruction from the convenience of your home or office.
Think outside the gym
Hey, I’ve been in your shoes while working desk jobs and navigating real-life obstacles, changing nutritional needs, and injury and pain. When you learn with me, you’re learning with someone who’s overcome functional scoliosis and a sprained lumbar spine to achieve a documented double-bodyweight deadlift… beltless! I’m proud of that, and I want you to be proud of what you achieve with me too.
Steady progression for extraordinary results
This isn’t boot camp and I’m not a drill sergeant. That’s how people get careless—and injured. Focused, steady training is the best and most sustainable path forward. After all, the only worthwhile changes are the ones you can sustain, right? Let’s think beyond your next New Year’s resolution or beach vacation. With me, you’ll cement effective habits for the long term.
Those are my strengths. Let’s discover yours.
