My Mission

My mission is to help clients escape from the stresses of life with a fun and very beneficial workout which ultimately helps them then handle those stresses more easily and comfortably. During the workouts, they will be burning fat, strengthening muscle, relieving stress, and improving their overall health and fitness.

I can show you the door, you must walk through it... Then I will follow you so you keep on improving

Why Train With Me

The reason a client is looking for help is because they lack motivation. My clients always tell me that my style makes them want to push and do better themselves. I always help them to see the benefits and understanding of each exercise without an aggressive drill sergeant approach. Unless that's what they like then I can turn that on too. But ultimately I want them to feel confident and comfortable and connected to each movement and each workout.

My go-to workout

HIIT style sprints are so much fun. Pushing the body to run and perform at it's maximum effort.

Healthy food I love

I am a big fan of smoothies. Every morning for me consists of green vegetable based blending!

Healthy food I hate

I'm so conditioned on the nutrients of food that the taste is no longer a factor if its healthy!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
