The method

Why Get Strong?

Strength training boosts muscle and bone health, cuts osteoporosis risk, and stabilizes joints. It enhances metabolism, heart health, and blood sugar control. Gain mental clarity, reduce stress, and build confidence. And if all that isn't cool enough, increased lean muscle mass is a physical make over like none other.

Why Train With Me?

As a Starting Strength Coach, I offer direct video coaching, personalized programming, and 24-hour video/written technique feedback. Get direct access to me for questions, concerns, and moral support, plus accountability to crush your goals and build strength.


What They Got

My Story

My life continues today because of one simple word, "Strength". In 2015 I found Starting Strength and the barbell teachings of Mark Rippetoe. I was hooked immediately and used the basic compound movements to get as strong as I could, not knowing at the time the impact it would have. 


I found out how important being strong is in November of 2019 when I was hit by a car while on foot. I had stopped to help someone who had been in a rollover accident and while doing so I was hit by an oncoming car.  The accident almost took my life, but I managed to survive. I ended up having to amputate my left leg below my knee, but otherwise was in pretty good shape. Being strong and resilient, kept me from death. 


The accident changed my life in many ways and gave me a new perspective on life. I decided that I wanted to spread the word on strength and help others improve their lives and build armor for whatever life brings.


I had been coaching friends and family since 2016, but in 2021 decided to make a career change and coach full-time. I signed on with Starting Strength Columbus in 2022 and in 2023 I earned my SSC Certification. My goal is to reach as many people as I can and make them stronger than they've ever been.  


I would love to change your life with strength!

Online Coaching

 

    Whether you have a setup at your home or you train at a local barbell gym, you can take full advantage of the experience and knowledge I have obtained getting people just like you to the strongest version of themselves.

    It's really this simple: You take videos of your lifting and send them to me. I watch over them looking for every way to improve your performance. You'll receive detailed feedback with actionable steps to take moving forward, to increase the efficiency of your training. Based on your videos and the communication between you and I, I set up all the programming you need to build the strongest You. Monthly phone calls and unlimited email communication keep us on the same page as your life and goals change.

    For $225 a month your training will be my priority! 

In Person/Online Hybrid Coaching

    A mixture of in person and online coaching. We meet once a week for in person coaching and the other 1, 2 or 3 days of training will be done online. 

    Monthly Coaching $300

    

Online Coaching (Youth)

    This package is for young lifters, ages 12-17. There is no better way to enhance your athletic abilities than to get physically stronger. There is no better way to build confidence than to get physically stronger. 

    For $150 a month your young athletes training will be my priority. 

Amputee / Disability Services

    For those who would like to barbell train, but are limited in what they can do, because of missing/partially missing limbs or other physical setbacks. 

    We will take the exact same starting strength approach as with any other client--Compound movements, progressively loaded--but depending on the limitations of the individual the price will be adjusted. 

    This is very specific to the client, so please email me about pricing. Once we talk and get on the same page with what you can and cannot do in the gym, we can find a price that is appropriate. **Will NEVER be more than my standard rate. 

Private In Person Coaching

    Taking in-person clients at a local gym, while finishing touches on my private studio are made. If you're in the Urbana, OH area and would like 1 on 1 coaching or form checks, reach out today. 

    Single Session / Intro Session $75 (90 min.)

    Monthly Coaching $405

Live Zoom Coaching Session

    With the rise in platforms like Zoom, live online coaching in real-time is possible even if not in the same location. This 90 min. session allows you and I to talk in real time while you work through the barbell lifts. It is the closest thing to in person coaching and if you have earbuds I don't even have to yell! It's a win-win!

   Book your 90 min. zoom session today for $100. 

    (Live sessions can be done with Facetime)

Live Zoom Form Check

    A condensed version of the live online coaching session, the form check allows you and I to work with each other in real time to get you past whatever sticking point you find  yourself at with your barbell lift. This can be any of the main lifts.

   Book your starting strength form check today for $50. 

   (Live form check can be done with Facetime)

Accountability

    This one is free. When I started my starting strength training journey I got connected with an online coach, just like you're about to do. The feedback was great, the programming was incredibly useful and productive, but above all else I had a real sense of accountability. Was it life or death? No. But I knew my coach was waiting for my videos and I didn't want to disappoint. Let me help hold you accountable!
