About Me:
I am a Powerlifter from Ypsilanti/Ann arbor Michigan and came to Dallas Texas to fulfill my career as a personal trainer. I enjoy cooking, crafts, and drawing, staying up to date with the fitness trends and education myself. I am also a Michigan state University alumni.
How I can help you improve your game:
To improve a young athlete’s game, a strength coach should focus on personalized, sport-specific training that emphasizes proper technique, functional movements, and explosive power. Building core stability, agility, speed, and endurance while addressing imbalances helps enhance overall performance and reduce injury risk. Collaboration with coaches, consistent progress tracking, and fostering a positive, motivating environment are key. Educating athletes on the benefits of strength training and promoting discipline ensures sustainable development, ultimately helping them perform at their best on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session with a strength coach begins with a brief warm-up to increase blood flow and prepare the body for training. This is followed by dynamic stretching and mobility drills to improve flexibility and reduce injury risk. The main workout includes targeted strength exercises, such as compound lifts, plyometrics, or sport-specific movements, tailored to the athlete’s goals and current fitness level. The coach provides guidance on proper technique, ensures correct form, and adjusts intensity as needed. The session concludes with a cool-down, including static stretching and recovery techniques, to promote flexibility and reduce soreness. Throughout, the coach offers motivation, feedback, and education to maximize results and keep the athlete engaged.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I worked for a YMCA in North Dallas Texas. Increase clients each month, perform as goal focus coach. Finished mt certificate in National Strength Academy of medicine in 2025 personal trainer, as well Certified Sport Nutrition coaching , rewarded a support grant NSCA personal trainer certificate.
Best coach I ever had:
Lamanzer Williams was a talented defensive back who played for the Miami Dolphins, and while he may not be as widely recognized as some other NFL legends, he made a significant impact during his career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a dedicated strength coach, I am committed to helping athletes reach their full potential through personalized, science-backed training programs. I prioritize safety, proper technique, and functional movement to ensure optimal performance and injury prevention. I work closely with athletes to set achievable goals, track progress, and build confidence both physically and mentally. Parents can trust that I create a positive, motivating environment where their children develop strength, resilience, and discipline—skills that benefit them on and off the field. My passion is seeing athletes improve, stay healthy, and enjoy the journey of becoming their best selves.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
