I started my fitness journey playing football in high school. The camaraderie that I found on that field was only matched in one other sport – CrossFit. It is the only form of exercise I have found that encourages all ages and fitness levels to participate. There is beauty in a class having all different fitness levels; from two competitive athletes to a father of four just wanting to keep up with his kids when they are older. To me, this is community. Fourteen years ago, I transitioned from athlete to coach. Over the past 17 years, I have spent the bulk of my personal exercise programming with Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Athletic Development, and CrossFit. Participating in these activities has given me a deeper understanding of what my clients are experiencing. I have worked with individuals at all levels and encourage everyone to come and join a functional fitness class!

I am an advocate for healthy joyful living! I have been a personal trainer for the past 8+ years and am joining VIGOR as a group coach. I love watching people gain confidence as they increase in strength and do things they never thought possible. I’m all about movement in and out of the gym; hiking mountains, swimming in rivers, running trails, and lifting heavy weights. I have 4 children and hope to teach and inspire them to live their best, healthiest lives!

I first joined a gym in 2018. Prior to that I’d tried aerobics, Zumba, Step, Pilates, etc. I loved the methodology of functional fitness and the fact that I was never bored. I looked forward to coming to class to see the community, receive personal instruction, and to participate in workouts that tempered my anxiety and didn’t leave me feeling unmotivated and uncoordinated. Gaining strength and mobility made other activities I loved easier. I opened this gym in 2022 to bring these benefits to other everyday people so we could all enjoy better health and well-being.
