I guide people to developing a body they love and make the process enjoyable.
From Heart Attack at 46 to Stronger Than Ever at 51
After a devastating widow maker heart attack, Michael found himself at 138 pounds post-cardiac rehab, searching for direction and battling depression.
When he reached out to me for guidance on strength training, we developed a program that went way beyond just building muscle. Man, this guy committed fully - even during COVID lockdowns, he kept crushing the home workouts I sent him.
Now at 51, he's built back to a strong 173 pounds, rocks a 350-pound squat, and instead of living in fear of another heart attack, he's walking through life with total confidence. His cardiologist doesn't even want to see him for a couple years - but the real transformation? He's completely redesigned his life to put his health and well-being first.
She Lost 100 Pounds, and Saved Her Spine
At 330 pounds, Hannah buried herself in career success while privately struggling with her health and avoiding physical activity.
After a chance meeting at a coffee shop, she reached out to me for guidance on building real strength, and together we developed a sustainable approach focused on proper movement.
Hannah committed fully to the process, and not only lost 100 pounds but built the kind of functional strength that proved life-changing when doctors discovered a genetic spinal condition - instead of needing a walker as doctors predicted, she's now planning her next 5k run.
27 Pounds Down
While Living on the Road
When Jeffrey reached out to me, he was stuck at 238 pounds, living out of hotel rooms, and hitting frustrating plateaus despite his time in the gym.
Rather than just hammering heavy weights, we built a practical plan that worked with his trucker lifestyle, focusing on smart training and portable nutrition. Dude absolutely owned it - got himself a big cooler, meal prepped every Sunday, and completely transformed his hotel-living routine.
Instead of being stuck and beat up from endless heavy lifting, he's down 27 pounds, training pain-free, and his mom's even noticing the difference. The best part? We're just getting started on building his strongest, leanest version yet.
Powerlifting at 50:
Strength and Longevity
When Michael first stepped into powerlifting at 41, he was searching for something beyond the typical gym routine after years away from his baseball days.
Together, we developed an approach that balanced his competitive drive with smart training and sustainable nutrition. What we achieved was nothing short of a total body recomposition, he went from an uncomfortable 238 pounds to a leaner, stronger 220 - actually increasing his powerlifting total while dropping body fat.
Now at 51, he's found not just incredible strength gains, but a sustainable approach and an amazing community that keeps him chasing goals that seemed impossible a decade ago.
Rediscovering Joy in Fitness
After years of on-and-off gym sessions since their college athlete days, Bre went through the motions alone, feeling like life's potential was capped at 75%.
When they walked into my gym, I could tell they were different - searching for something beyond the typical workout routine. Instead of pushing another hardcore training plan, we developed an approach that balanced progress with joy.
Now Bre isn't just growing stronger, they're embracing their vibrancy and discovering what happens when you unlock that final 25% through community, proper nutrition, and training that feeds your soul instead of depleting it.
Former Athlete
Fuels Career Growth
As a former rugby player and multi-sport athlete, James reached out to me at 28 feeling defeated - his intense office schedule had pulled him away from training for two years, and his previous attempts at getting back in shape left him depleted.
Together, we rebuilt from the ground up, focusing on smart progression without the beat-up feeling that comes from forcing old training habits.
Now three months in, he's not just regaining his former strength - he's surpassing it, while maintaining the energy he needs for his demanding career. The best part? Instead of stressing about workout plans and restrictive diets, he's found a sustainable approach that gives him the energy to thrive in his career and the gym.
