Who I help
Sound like you?
Something hurts
Back, knee or shoulder pain keeps derailing you. We find the imbalance behind it and train around it. Then we fix it.
You're starting over
It's been a while. Every exercise gets a safe, scaled version, so you start where you are, not where a class wants you.
You want real strength
Get strong the right way. Better conditioning, cleaner lifts, and movement skills you'll use for the rest of your life. Become a more capable human.
You want a pro in your corner
Everyone needs help with something. You'd hire a pro to fix your car or do your taxes, so why guess with your body? A coach gets you there faster, safer and with a lot less frustration.
I specialize in
Building a body that lasts.
Functional strength & conditioning
We'll exercise to improve your capacity (strength, endurance, etc.) both inside and outside of the gym. Training that shows up in your real life.
Biomechanical optimization
The key to longevity is moving with great mechanics. I'll teach you the optimal joint positions and muscular activations that strengthen your body instead of hurting it.
Corrective exercise
The majority of pain is a symptom of imbalances or bad movement habits. We'll use exercise to prevent and fix pain so that your body is bulletproof.
Client results

Questions people ask first
I'm out of shape or brand new to lifting. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Fitness is about where you're going, not where you are. No matter your current level of physical activity, every exercise and workout has a safe, scaled version, and we'll start right where you are today.
I'm injured or in pain. Can I still train?
Yes, and that's one of my specialties. The majority of pain is a symptom of imbalances or bad movement habits. Your assessment pinpoints what's driving it, and we'll find movements and intensities that work for your body while we fix it.
How often should I train?
My goal is to see my clients twice per week. In my experience, that's the sweet spot for maximizing coaching outcomes. Of course, the more we work together, the quicker we'll achieve your goals, so it's not uncommon to train 3 to 4 times a week. At a minimum, I require a once-a-week commitment. In my career, I've learned that any less isn't enough to honestly affect your life.
What does it cost?
1:1 packages run $95 to $105 per 60-minute session. Group and in-home options are on the pricing page. The consultation and assessment are free.
What happens after I reach out?
I'll reply within 24 hours to set up your free consultation and assessment at a time that works for you.
