I don’t know if my story is too different from many of you. When I was in my 20s I was pretty active, going to school, having fun, working hard and basically eating whatever I wanted to. And I was subscribed to the mantra of, work hard, get good grades, get a good job and live happily ever after. And I followed that path for the next 20-years. What I found is that as I progressed my career, my activity went down, my work load increased and my waist line expanded. I hit a point where I was almost 50-pounds overweight. Not COOL right.

I still remember sitting in my doctor’s office when I was in my late 30-somethings and he started going down the list of all the physical things I needed to be concerned with. And then he whipped out the prescription pad (my doc is old school like that, pen to paper) to write me up some scripts for high-blood pressure and cholesterol.

At the time I was feeling a little hopeless, but rather than go on the medication path I decided to take a more natural approach and that is when I was introduced to resistance training and high intensity cardio. The combination of these two really helped me get me back in shape in a relatively short time. I caught the bug man and had to keep myself motivated to keep with my workouts and to really understand this body of mine that I had essentially taken for granted over the last 40-years.

I Certified as a personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine back in 2009 and began working with friends and co-workers to help them along the way. This passion for fitness and helping people get the results they deserve is what eventually lead me to opening up my own gym.

My favorite client story

Paul came to me at close to 300 pounds, he had very poor health markers and his doctor did not give him a strong prognosis. Despite the 2020 shut down, he stayed the course working with us on the mental game, focusing on his fitness and nutrition. Down 67 pounds in a year and feeling more fit than he did in College.

My training philosophy

My training goes beyond just weight loss. In fact, I am not a weight loss coach. I want my clients to B.E.F.I.T. in all aspects of their life.

Beautiful | Energized | Fierce | Inspired | Thriving

When you embody these five words in all aspects of your life you no longer need to diet, look for another meal plan, try another different way of working out.
