Develop Yo'self

I’m not sure whoever told you that you need to be fitter to come and see a coach… we are here to lend you the perspective, experience, wisdom, tools, belief, and strategies necessary to help you get to your next level.

Story time and a huge win, where it wasn’t expected in the first place.

Jordan brought his son Logan in about eight months ago, wanting to set the fundamentals for physical development and specifically for Hockey performance.

Now, Jordan has turned this into an amazing bonding experience for him and Logan. He’s also gained 10 pounds plus of muscle, posture is improving, aches and pains relieving, energy improving.

He and his son are crushing it together. And he’s modelling the way.

Remember, you don’t have to be perfect to model the way. You just have to be improving and putting in the work!

If you’re in the market for a personal trainer/health coach, make sure you find one with a genuine love, curiosity, and warmth for people! That’s what I try to bring to the gym every single day when I walk through the portal that is the door. And what I found along the way, is that I genuinely have that for people. As much as I love the actual aspects of programming and training, the most interesting parts to me have been all about the people that come to see me, their life, histories, and psychology!

More does not mean better!!

The more experience I have in the gym, the more I realize that a minimum effective dose mentality is necessary. That way we can avoid burnout, truly get high-quality movement and training sessions, and be consistent for long periods of time. This creates sustainable adaptation. Not intensity and volume alone !

What’s the most functional win that you’ve had from working on your health and fitness???

Chemistry and Compatability… one of the things I’m looking for when I meet and greet with someone new in the gym!!

And by having that compatability, I know I have a better chance at imparting what I need to, in order to help change your health and fitness journey!

You won’t need a personal trainer/fitness coach forever, if you don’t want one forever!

One of my greatest joys as a coach has been watching people continue to succeed in their fitness after their tenure in the gym with me is over!

Everyone should learn to invest in their fitness, and that not only means their physical health, but their mental well-being and Aptitude, so that if you wanted to… You could take over and eventually do it on your own!

Always here for you!

TGIM! As a coach, one of my biggest roles is to be a brake pedal even more than to be a gas pedal.

If all you ever do is try to run at red line, here’s your permission to push the brakes, pull the parachute, and build your way to a more sustainable Fitness outcome!

A metabolic wall is hit when you’ve been committed to a fitness and health strategy/plan, but your results have plateaued!

You can seemingly do everything right, but still struggle at a certain point to overcome that plateau… and this is where people often double down on caloric restriction and increasing activity!

Well I’m telling you, that is rarely the strategy that will work in the long run… in fact that’s how I’ve seen people burn out, get discouraged and quit 👎.

Instead, we need to take our thriving body and health to the next level!! And how?? By giving it more resources to build some muscle and stoke that fire!!

If you struggle with this, you’re not alone :)
