I grew up in central Ohio, which is where I started my journey into personal fitness and exercise. I started with distance running and weightlifting initially to lose weight, and by training consistently, I was able to see results. I didn't really know what I was doing at first, but I knew the gist: training triceps and chest will build muscles in those area, doing a lot of cardio will help your circulation, and lifting heavy stuff will make you stronger and better at lifting heavy stuff.

I earned my ACE CPT in November of 2020 and am currently working on Nutrition and Weight Loss specialties. I am also a strong believer in fundamentals and basics being at the center of living a healthier life. In theory, while you will still need a good gym, you should be able to get in much better shape without fancy gadgets, expensive supplements, or complicated exercises.
