Trained this guy out of my garage during COVID.
His name is Blake. We worked together for about 90 days before he moved away to chase his career. He moved to LA, then Vegas, then Nashville.
I hadn't talked to him in years.
Last week he hit me up out of nowhere. Sent me this pic.
"I got better results working with you than I did working with any Hollywood trainer."
That's a quote.
Here's what I'm going to say about that.
I'm not gonna tell you I'm better than every coach in LA. I don't know every coach in LA. What I will tell you is what I told Blake when we worked together... real coaching doesn't need a fancy gym or a Hollywood address. It needs a plan, a structure, and someone in your corner who knows what they're doing.
We had a garage. We had a Trainerize app. We had Zoom check-ins. We had the framework I've been refining since 2007.
That was enough.
The picture on the right is from 2022. Blake sent it as proof. He used the program 5 days a week. He showed up.
I share this because there's a story out there that real coaching requires a celebrity trainer, a flagship gym, a $300 consult. That's marketing. Real coaching is the unsexy part... checking in, adjusting, telling you the truth, making the plan fit your life.
If you're in a garage. If you're in a hotel room. If you're in a Nashville apartment.
The framework moves with you.
