    “Fitness found me at the lowest point of my life and pulled me out of depression - it taught me the balance of loving + pushing myself at my lowest to reach and appreciate the highs even more. I fell in love with helping others do exactly the same - becoming the best version of themselves by improving their mental, emotional, and physical wellness through fitness training. Fitness is tough - to execute, there’s a lot of mental and emotional resilience involved behind the physical aspect, and that’s the challenge I love.”

My goal is to teach foundations of fitness to as many people as I can - it’s a privilege to know how to perform movements efficiently and effectively, and I want the world to have that luxury.”
