Let's find the right fit(ness) for you!
NASM-trained personal trainer with 20+ years experience. I build custom mind-body workouts for any body, anywhere—gym, park, or bodyweight—with a sharp eye for form and safe movement
How I can help you improve
I build strength, conditioning, and mental focus together, not separately. Using HIIT and functional training methods, I create programs tailored to your specific sport, body, and goals — never a generic template. I pair physical training with breathing and mindfulness techniques to help you perform under pressure, recover faster, and stay locked in when it matters most. And because I have a sharp eye for form, you'll build strength the right way, reducing injury risk while maximizing every rep.
A typical training session
Every session starts with a check-in — how your body and mind are feeling that day — because that shapes how we train. We warm up with mobility and breathwork to get you focused and present, then move into a workout built specifically for you, whether that's strength training, HIIT, or bodyweight conditioning. I'm hands-on with form throughout, correcting and coaching every rep. We finish with a cool-down that often includes a short mindfulness or breathing exercise to help you reset.
Career & accomplishments
Over 20+ years of experience personal training men, women, and athletes of all levels and abilities. Originally certified through NASM, I've built my career on individualized programming, combining strength and conditioning with mind-body techniques like breathwork and meditation. I train clients in a fully equipped gym, at their own home gyms, or outdoors using resistance bands and bodyweight methods — proving that great training isn't limited by location or equipment. I also have extensive experience working with clients who have physical limitations, adapting programs without compromising intensity or results.
Best coach I ever had
The very first trainer I had because he instilled proper form, posture and movement to get the most out of my workouts.
What athletes & parents should know
Above all, I believe form is the most important part of training — it's the difference between building strength safely and getting hurt, and I never let an athlete move through an exercise incorrectly. I meet every athlete where they are, building workouts around their body and ability rather than forcing them into a generic program. I have experience working with athletes who have physical limitations, and I bring the same intensity, structure, and care to every session, wherever it takes place — gym, park, or backyard.

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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
