A Little About Me
I trained my first client when I was 19
And I'm now going on my 10th year as a trainer!
My early days as a coach included training friends and coworkers for nearly free. Though I have evolved as a coach, my passion for my client's success and interest in continued learning has remained unwavering.
I grew up playing sports, consistently looking up to my coaches. Each of them played a part in why I chose to pursue a career in fitness. Coach Mo (& company), thank you.
I am active in the fitness community
They saying goes, "Those who can, do- those who can't, teach."
Or something like that.
Well, I do both! I am a certified personal trainer, as well as nutrition certified through Precision Nutrition Level 1 and 2 coaching. I have two Associate's Degrees in Exercise Science, one with an emphasis in personal training and one with an emphasis in nutrition. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology through Arizona State University in May of 2022.
I love being a coach who works alongside clients. I spent the late 2010's competing in NPC Figure competitions, and this past year ran my first half marathon with one of my Phoenix-based clients.
These are a few of my favorite things
My 5 rescue pit bulls. An americano. College Football (O-H!) Flagstaff, AZ.
My Philosophy
"Give a man a fish, feed home for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed for a lifetime."
Being “Coach“ is so much more than taking my clients through a workout, or having clients who do what I tell them to.
Rather, I teach a practical, evidence-based approach to nutrition and strength.
I teach my clients how to sift through fad diets that show up all over social media, and to point out the flaws in the “quick fix” approach promoted by many.
I abide by the quality of an optimal program based on progressive overload rather than "functional“ training. The term "functional fitness" is redundant.
Fitness is a journey that requires time, effort, and energy. However, a successful fitness journey includes appreciating the body you have regardless of where you are.
I truly hope to never stop learning and will continue to teach practical, evidence-based methods that allow my clients to reap the long term benefits of overall health and fitness.
