About Me:
My career with Strength and Conditioning, started in Northern Grand Rapids, I went to gym facilities such as the Wolverine YMCA in Belmont, MVP Sportsplex in Kentwood, Family Fitness in Walker, and Planet fitness from time to time. I had a friend that was in Mens Physique competing as a novice bodybuilder, and I had been around him enough before his transformation enough to notice how amazing he looked after the fact. I graduated highschool, and began my education at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI, in business. Both my fitness and my education really took off while I was there. I've trained at branches by Anytime fitness, Planet fitness, Family Fitness, YMCA, MVP, school gyms, and I've also done the DVD programs like P90X. I met another friend who currently owns his own company as a celebrity fitness model and trainer. All bonding at Western, this is when I completed my first couple years of teaching others, bodybuilding, and I was able to sucessfully transform 10+ friends through the tips of both online guides/tips/and in person training.

How I can help you improve your game:
I am essentially a motivator and teacher for whoever needs it. Mostly because people who need to improve at a sport, or get into better shape, usually just need a push of motivation, and a little more expertise to improve to get to their goals. I would love to help anyone who needs these things in their lives.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A session with me, would last roughly 25-35 minutes, I try not to go longer than that simply because if you're weight training for longer than that amount of time, you're likely not training harder enough, or training properly. The only exceptions to this case would be those currently on performance enhancing drugs, who could recover from that duration of training, and the majority of people who simply want to get into shape, don't take PEDs, and should not consider taking them.
Maximizing time, and performing workouts properly, is the goal here.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Most of my personal training experience was done at a Planet fitness in Kalamazoo, and a Powerhouse gym, in Portage, Michigan. I also provided all of the online guides and tips for these clients at the same time. Over the course of four years, I taught and physically trained, 10+ clients and successfully transformed 90% percent of them. I do also have a passion for both soccer, and baseball, I even love snowboarding if anyone is interested in that. but bodybuilding is what my focus is mainly on.
Best coach I ever had:
I had two great coaches, Joe Wachs - BodybyWachs, and Jonathan Childress - Childress Fitness. Both helped me learn a great deal about bodybuilding and achieving a great physique. But other sources of education came from NASM, NCSF, and personal experience.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
For those interested in working with me, you should know: I am a spear head teacher, I find the best way for a person to learn something is to do it themselves; at-least that's how it is with fitness. Although, I would never have a client go into an exercise without safety equipment, or myself, such as a weight belt, and with me by their side prior to starting a risky but effective exercise. Resistance training is meditation, its the founding principle as to why people love sports, in my opinion.
My close circle, and previous clients, would say that I am very friendly, mostly honest, intelligent, hardworking, and love being surrounded by athletes. Generally speaking I just love connecting with people, and also have a big passion for passing on the expertise young folks need to succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
