2026 marks 8 years in business, as well as 30 years since I first discovered weight training.
Back in 1996, my mother bought me my first gym membership to Gold’s Gym, and I haven't stopped since.
For almost 20 years, I dreamed of opening my own training studio. I’d always say:
“One day I’m going to do it.”
Then life hit hard. After unexpectedly losing my brother, something in me shifted. I realized I could wake up at 80 years old — or sooner — and never have taken the chance on the life I truly wanted to live.
So I made the leap.
I walked away from a high-paying but soul-draining office job, went back to school for nutrition, and started building this life from the ground up.
There was fear.
There was uncertainty.
Some people thought I was making a brilliant decision.
Others probably thought I was completely crazy… which, to be fair, may still be partially true 😝
But I followed my heart, stayed the course, and never stopped believing in the work.
3 decades of weight training has taught me far more than how to build muscle. It taught me about discipline, suffering, resilience, compassion, presence, and the strength that cannot be forged without struggle.
Every day I wake up grateful that I get to live my passion, help people reconnect to their bodies, and hopefully help them discover their strength — both inner and outer.
To every client, friend, family member, and supporter who has been part of this journey:
thank you. I truly appreciate all of you 🙏🏽
