With 20 years of training experience and a competitive athletic background, I specialize in helping people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s reclaim their strength and vitality. I understand midlife challenges like declining muscle mass, hormonal changes, mobility issues, and chronic pain because I’ve guided clients through it all.
My approach combines empathetic listening with direct, no-nonsense coaching that educates you on the how and why behind every movement and nutrition choice. My focus isn’t on quick fixes but on building the knowledge and mindset for long-term progress. Through personalized training, nutrition, and wellness coaching, my clients achieve better health metrics, experience less pain, and genuinely enjoy taking care of themselves again.
Working with my personal trainer, Laura, since December 2023 has been a game-changer for my health journey as I prepared for a Spartan race in September 2024. Initially, I struggled with recurring knee, back, and shoulder pain, low-energy workouts, and unexpected weight gain. Laura’s persistent focus on my sleep habits, which I initially overlooked, was a key factor leading me to do a sleep study in December 2024 that revealed sleep apnea. After starting CPAP treatment, my sleep quality soared, eliminating my pain, boosting my energy, and improving my cardio and workout performance. I dropped from 220 pounds in January 2025 to 192 pounds by September, while ramping up to 2-3 weekly training sessions and 20-25 miles of combined walking, running, hiking, and cycling. Laura’s guidance and insight were pivotal in transforming my health and making this journey a success.” – Derrick H.
