About this service
1-on-1 personal strength training is the core of what I do. Built around traditional compound exercises, drop sets, body-weight strength training, and physical outdoor work like running, hiking, and basic calisthenics. All supported by yoga-style stretching and a real understanding of clean eating.
I'm here to help you break free from inactivity, your gym rut, or advance your fitness. You need a push in the right direction and accountability. One or two 30-minute sessions per week will change your life.
You'll be amazed how much we can accomplish in 30 minutes, how quickly your strength improves, and how much you gain as you navigate life. Learn to reframe your time and thoughts about working out, and see how it can all be naturally and intuitively integrated into your life.
