Personal Training & Chronic Pain Coaching

My purpose is to empower, educate, and entertain as many people as I can without sacrificing my integrity or freedom.

 

I'm on a mission to help others improve their health and fitness and I use my experience to focus their efforts on what matters most.

I help clients get stronger and overcome chronic pain while building muscle and losing fat. I teach how to address the functional causes of chronic pain and the necessary habits to become pain-free.

If you want to build a strong and pain-free body that looks good and feels amazing, book a consultation with me to get started.

Personal Trainer & Chronic Pain Specialist

I have a long history of chronic pain in my back, knees, ankles, and shoulders.

 

My passion for helping others comes from my personal experience of being in pain. I'm now completely pain-free and every year I get stronger. I've since helped hundreds of clients get out of pain.

I love what I do and I'm obsessed with it. Most people watch sports or tv to relax, while I read anatomy books for fun!​ I also enjoy lifting weights, sprinting, and practicing Muay Thai. I'm a voracious reader of self-help, finance, history, and philosophy. I'm grateful for every opportunity I have to help others.
 

If you’re currently in pain, get a diagnosis from your doctor. Follow their recommendation, and if you still have pain, book a consultation to work with me directly.

Back Pain History: Spinal Stenosis, Bulging Disc, Scoliosis, Degenerative Disc Disease

In 3rd grade is when it first started to feel like I couldn't sit still in my chair because my back was hurting. At age 16 a doctor diagnosed me with spinal stenosis, a bulging disc, and scoliosis using MRI images.

At age 21 a doctor diagnosed me with Degenerative Disc Disease  based on x-ray images. He told me to “avoid lifting weights, running, and jumping, and hopefully it won’t get worse.” I avoided the things he told me and my back pain stayed the same.

Each time I visited a doctor they used expensive images to diagnose my pain, but not once did they ask about my lifestyle, teach me good posture, review my movement, or provide a specific cause for my pain.
