Look Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

We moved a lot during my childhood, but the one thing that was always consistent was sports.  Growing up I played basketball, ran track, and played roller hockey.  As I grew older, I found an obsession for the sport of weightlifting and began chasing the heavier weights.  This journey has driven me to learn as much as I can about the science behind movements and the physical therapy that can help athletes get to where they need to be.

My biggest obstacle has always been myself.  I'm an extremely competitive person and I always strive to be the best at the sports I participate in.  The sport of fitness isn't something you easily reach the top and you have to remember to celebrate the little victories and that is what I try to bring into the gym with me each day.

I like helping people of all goals and walks of life achieve their goals.  For me, the athlete achieving their goals feels like I achieved it as well and it is extremely rewarding.

Personal Philosophy:
As a personal trainer my objective is to create an environment for my clients to lay it out all on the line, while still feeling encouraged and comforted through their entire personalized fitness journey. They will not only build strength but grow in knowledge as we break down movements and techniques to provide a learning experience. Being a former collegiate athlete I have the experience and knowledge to help create programs for any range and need for my clients, whether they are high school students looking to get a scholarship to someone who has no previous athletic experience. I will strive to always stay up to date with my knowledge in the training field through continuing education to keep the atmosphere for my clients fun and fresh. With the ability to be able to wake up and know this could be the start of someone’s new life and I am a part of it, is what it is all about, It’s not what you did yesterday, or what you have planned for tomorrow. Today, today is what maters, if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you.

 Growing up I never enjoyed working out, getting stronger, or testing my physical ability. I played baseball in high school, and I thought that the only way I could get better was to throw and hit. I was surpassed in talent by other kids who were bigger, stronger, and faster - kids who went on to play in college. I began to believe in fitness in college, when some buddies dragged me to the gym for a few months. I studied it, learned from mentors, became a personal trainer, changed my degree to kinesiology, so here I am. I believe that everyone was once in the position that I was in - maybe not from an athletic standpoint, but in any walk of life, not knowing what training the body can do. It takes time to find out how fitness will affect your life, but I promise that if done the right way it will benefit your lifestyle no matter what. I coach because I want people to understand how the right way of training feels, and how it translates to their lifestyle. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7
