I'm thrilled to embark on a fitness journey with you, focusing on physical transformation and the joy of playing with your kids and cultivating a healthy, playful body for a fulfilling retirement. My expertise lies in guiding individuals like you through various fitness goals, whether it's shedding fat, gaining muscle, getting lean, building strength, or enhancing flexibility and mobility.
I totally understand the universal desire to feel better about oneself. I started my own fitness journey at 14, craving confidence, muscle definition, and strength. Now, at 52, I've achieved those goals and maintained them over the years. I'm eager to share my experiences and insights with you, illustrating how you can attain a healthier and more vibrant lifestyle.
My approach is laser-focused on the unique needs of middle-aged individuals, as I navigate the same life changes and body adjustments. I'm living proof that maintaining a strong and healthy body and mind is possible through all life stages. Life takes unexpected turns, especially in your 40s, and I'm here to guide you through those changes.
I specialize in crafting personalized, sustainable fitness plans that cater specifically to the demands of middle age. Are you open to being coached? Will you prioritize knowledge over vanity? Are you committed to putting in the time required for a transformative journey? I'm here for men and women who are 100% ready to take charge of their health. If you're not quite there yet, that's perfectly okay—I understand the importance of readiness. When you're prepared to make a substantial commitment, I'll support you every step of the way. Take your time, and let's make this journey one that transforms your body and enhances your overall well-being.

What sets me apart
Real-world experience since 1989
Constant research and continuing education (i’m a health nerd)
Extensive testing of many workout styles, patterns, and philosophies.
The people I work with
The people I coach come from different backgrounds and have different health challenges. Many of us face similar problems like back pain, extra body fat, or low strength. We all want to feel and be better. I work with real people who have real problems. The key is to make your health a priority. If it's about your health, I can help. Will you help yourself?
My favorite times are when clients tell me how strong they feel or how their body doesn't ache anymore or how good their night of sleep was. Even how they speak with more confidence is a sign that they are feeling better.. I coach for the times when I hear my client tell me how they look forward to working out or that they are bummed when they miss a leg day. LOL! No one ever says that, do they?
Coaching is not just about me helping you change your body—it’s about teaching you how to make those changes for yourself. Ultimately, YOU are responsible for making the changes or you won’t see results. True change comes from within, and sometimes you need a coach to help you discover that strength. That’s where I come in.
With your mind occupied by many other things, expecting you to know how to work out effectively on your own can be unrealistic. Sure, I’d love for you to do everything perfectly from the start, but that’s not always feasible. Instead, why not follow a program tailored to your schedule and the equipment you have available?
Complete the entire program, learn how to do it independently, and then cancel my service if you feel confident enough to continue on your own. Simple.
Or, choose to keep getting coached through my individualized program. It’s designed specifically around your current condition and goals, providing customized guidance to ensure your progress.
