I transform lives with the Elite Fat Loss Program, inspired by military fitness. Tailored for those seeking confidence and a toned look, we offer personalized workouts, nutrition, and support, all designed to progressively elevate your fitness journey. Start feeling like a soldier in your skin! Drawing from my military service in the US Army, I began my fitness journey at Fort Drum, NY, where I developed a passion for fitness that led to certifications and promotion to Sergeant. At Yongsan, Korea, I focused on tactical physical fitness and combatives, creating a program that combined Physical Readiness Training (PRT) with Tactical Combatives for my unit. At Fort Polk, LA, I became the lead combatives instructor, recognized as an authority on tactical fitness. After my military service, I earned a Master's degree in Sports and Health Sciences with a concentration in Exercise Science. Today, I am a Certified Personal Trainer with specializations in Tactical Conditioning, Strength and Conditioning, and Stretching and Flexibility through the ISSA and NASM. I am committed to transforming lives through that emphasizes physical, mental, and tactical preparedness, leveraging my military experiences in training Soldiers to deliver exceptional fitness guidance.

Let's face it, shedding those pesky pounds and toning those muscles can be a grueling journey when you're flying solo. But hey, that's why I'm here - to help you conquer your fitness hurdles and achieve your desired results. I get it, adopting new fitness routines can be daunting and often falls flat. That's why I go the extra mile with a comprehensive assessment to dive deep into your obstacles, goals, and aspirations.

I'm a firm believer that with the right habits and a steadfast commitment to the program and system, you'll surpass your goals in no time. Let's do this!
My Vision
I'm a firm believer that every person, no matter their fitness level, has the power to unleash their true self. Back in my Army days, the NCOs would always drill into us, "Pain is weakness leaving the body!" It's all about perspective and how badly you want to succeed. My go-to quote is from 1 Corinthians 6:19: "Your body is a temple, a home for your soul." Once my clients change their mindset, they can work towards building a healthy and fit body, a temple that their soul can be proud to call home. My Army expertise has taught me a lot, and I'm excited to help anyone who feels stuck in their fitness journey. Let's transform together!
My Values
As they say, once a Soldier, always a Soldier! I've always lived by the Army's core values, which have helped me in my fitness coaching career as well. Let me break it down for you: Loyalty: It's all about being committed to your success and growth. I'll be your accountability partner, creating customized workout and nutrition plans to fit your lifestyle. Duty: I take my responsibility of helping you achieve your fitness goals seriously. No shortcuts, no fluff, just hard work and dedication. Respect: I trust that you're giving it your all, but if you're struggling, I'll make changes to your program to make sure you're still hitting those muscles while avoiding injury. Selfless-Service: Your success is my priority. I'll prioritize your needs to make sure you're getting the most out of your program. Honor: I make it a point to live by my values every day. It's not just about talking the talk, but walking the walk. Integrity: Transparency is key. You'll know exactly what to expect from your program, and I'll never deceive you. Personal Courage: We all have our fears and challenges, but it's about pushing past those mental blocks and tapping into your full potential. Together, we'll conquer any obstacles that come our way.
