My Mission

My mission is to create a coach-client environment where successes, big and small, are celebrated. Having come to exercise (CrossFit/weightlifting) to improve my health, I feel that I am extremely empathetic to the fitness and health goals that individuals will bring to the table. I look forward to helping others reach goals!

Why Train With Me

As a coach, I always seek to find new ways to make the programming interesting for the athletes/clients. Having faced my own struggles with consistently working out, I will be a motivating factor to help clients to reach their goals! Although there is an abundance of training material online, having a coach/system that organizes and programs that information into an easy-to-follow process will be essential to the client's success; as well as having someone that will hold them accountable.

My go-to workout

Resistance training/powerlifting followed by a short HIIT workout.

Healthy food I love

Baked/steamed broccoli, Baked sweet potatoes, Brown rice, and lean meats, especially grilled fish.

Healthy food I hate

Not a big fan of asparagus and steamed peas:-P

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!"
