Mission
To eliminate the concerns of aging for active adults so the can move Strong, Confident, and Pain-Free
I believe the body you’re living in right now is more capable than you think. Most of the pain, stiffness, and limitation people accept as inevitable isn’t age — it’s the wrong approach applied for too long. My life’s work is proving that, one client at a time.
Origins
At 14, I was awkward, overweight, and rocking Hawaiian shirts with sweatpants…a fashion combo I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. I was figuring myself out, like any other teenager. I was weird, and that made me an easy target for the bullies in my gym class.
I felt weak. So I went searching for something that would make me feel strong. Thankfully, I found exercise and resistance training before I tried anything that would get me arrested.
When I lifted weights for the first time, something shifted in every cell in my body. Exercise built my confidence, one rep at a time. It gave me the courage to stop seeing myself as the soft, awkward kid — and start seeing myself as someone capable. That lesson has stayed with me ever since.
The Person Behind the Trainer
Exercise built my confidence, one rep at a time. It gave me the courage to show up, to grow, and to stop seeing myself as the “soft, awkward kid” and start seeing myself as someone capable. That lesson has stayed with me ever since.
I love spending time at home with my family, re-watching my favourite action movies, thinking and tinkering with exercise science, and making my own ice cream.
I believe we can all be a little bit better everyday. Being able to help people have a tangible, physical experience of that through exercise lights my soul up.
"If I needed a sticky note on my bathroom mirror to remind me what to do every day — it would say this: Help people be Strong, Confident, and Pain-Free."
