I think I had better get right to explaining who I am…or better yet, who I think I am.  After all, I’m in my early 30’s, but this business focuses on folks aged 30 years old and above.

Why is that?

What is it about me that helps me understand the unique issues (and the urgency) of an age group I’m really a part of?

I’m a fitness guy.  A former athlete (football was my thing).  For a lot of my clients, that alone is very different from their world…and maybe from yours.

So, this is my story…and it starts out quite a few years ago…2003 to be exact.

 I was always a bit undersized, due to the fact that I didn’t even know how to lift weights. I became aware of the importance of working out when I met a guy named Wayne, whose son was on the High School Football team.

Wayne was a former bodybuilder, who taught me the importance of weight lifting and how to take care of my body. I was only about 16 years old at the time.  Wayne not only taught me about proper form and technique, but also about the importance of pre- and post-workout nutrition. This was something I didn’t have a clue about. 

 Seeing the steady increase in strength started to amaze me.

I remember thinking, “I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t met someone who was determined to not only show me how to work out, but also hold me accountable. I don’t ever want to be sedentary again!”

Now, of course, no one can twist your arm and make you work out like he did, but I was starting to see some health issues going on with my family that I wanted to prevent in my own life. I had to make a change for the future. 

 Your personal challenge could come in the form of an illness, heart disease, or an accident. I have a vision of a facility where individuals can count on a program designed for them, not the masses. I don’t believe in large group training.  I deliberately stayed away from those big classes with crazy circuits set up where people train until they drop (from fatigue or injury). I wanted to be so much more individualized than that.

Honestly, seeing a 45 year old client knock out 10 push-ups  (on his way to 20!)…

Or a 62 year old woman doing 15 Kettlebell swings with 45lbs (true story!)…

Or even my 46-year-old former professional football player achieve a lifetime best squat…is incredibly inspiring.

That’s the type of thing that gets me excited to go to work each and every day.  Helping people accomplish things they never dreamed they would do…or do again.

I have had many people in my world have their lives wildly disrupted by events that struck out of the blue.  And while some things like this cannot always be prevented, I know I can help others prepare themselves, live fuller lives, and experience successful aging…just by being ready.

We pride ourselves on people like you doing things that are not always seen

•   Prescription Medication NOT needed

•   Falls and injuries avoided with surgeries NOT needed

•   Weight lost, NOT gained

•   Medical conditions that DON’T get a foothold

•   Diseases prevented, NOT suffered from

•   Lives lived to the fullest, NOT compromised

In the end, I created the exact facility I had envisioned with the exact mission I had hoped for.

This is the only thing I really want to do…
