My favorite client story

It's hard to pick a favorite, but here is what some of our clients have achieved:

Chris's Story

When Chris joined RI Strength at 45 years old, he weighed 310 pounds and was taking medication for high blood pressure, elevated A1C, and high cholesterol. He was also dealing with a rotator cuff tear and chronic ankle pain from weight-related arthritis, making exercise feel intimidating and everyday activities uncomfortable.

Over the next two years, through consistent coaching, personalized training, and sustainable lifestyle changes, Chris lost 95 pounds, bringing his weight down to 215 pounds.

Today, he's completely off his blood pressure and A1C medications, his cholesterol medication has been reduced, his shoulder is pain-free, and his ankle arthritis has improved dramatically. What was once constant pain is now only an occasional flare-up if he overdoes it.

Chris's story is a reminder that strength training isn't just about changing your appearance—it's about improving your health, reducing pain, and creating a better quality of life.

Naomi's Story

Naomi came to RI Strength weighing 220 pounds. She had an elevated A1C, had undergone two knee replacements, and was struggling with severe swelling and limited mobility due to both her weight and poor healing following one of her surgeries. Simple movements were difficult, and exercise felt overwhelming.

Over the past four years, Naomi has completely transformed what she believed was possible.

She has lost more than 50 pounds, returned her A1C to a healthy level and no longer requires medication, regained full mobility, and built a level of strength that surprises everyone—including herself. Today, at 63 years old, she can perform 50 consecutive push-ups.

Naomi's journey shows that it's never too late to become stronger, healthier, and more capable. With the right coaching and a program designed around your individual needs, remarkable progress is possible at any age.

My favorite quote

My favorite quote is from my friend Greg Walsh who runs Wolfbrigade gym in NY.
The quote is, "If we give our training all of our ability, it will give us the ability to do anything.".

My training philosophy

The main philosophy behind the training is to finish better than you started each day. Progress requires patience, but small daily wins stack up to big wins as time goes by.

My training experience

My passion for strength and fitness began in high school and has remained a constant throughout my life. After graduating, I served in the U.S. Navy, where discipline, resilience, and physical readiness became foundational values that continue to shape my coaching philosophy today.

Following my military service, I owned and operated a martial arts school in Tennessee from 1996 to 1998, helping students of all ages develop confidence, discipline, and physical capability.

In 2000, I earned my ACE Personal Trainer certification and have continued expanding my knowledge through years of hands-on coaching and practical experience. Since 2021, I have been coaching clients full-time as the owner of RI Strength, specializing in helping adults lose weight, build strength, improve their health, and move with confidence through personalized coaching programs.

With more than two decades of coaching experience and a lifelong commitment to strength training, my focus is simple: help every client become stronger, healthier, and more capable through expert guidance, individualized programming, and sustainable habits.
