Build a Body That's Strong, Durable, and Pain-Free

You don't need another cookie-cutter template. You need a coach who understands how bodies actually work — someone who'll get you strong without wrecking your joints, and build habits that stick for decades.

Most programs are designed to sell, not to last

They'll get your attention with a shredded physique, hand you a spreadsheet, and disappear. Six weeks later you're burned out, beat up, or back to square one. Sound familiar?

  • Cookie-cutter plans that ignore your injury history, stress levels, and actual life
  • All intensity, no strategy. You shouldn't have to wreck your shoulders to look good.
  • No accountability. A PDF doesn't check in when you miss a week.
  • Short-term thinking. Looking good for 8 weeks means nothing if you can't maintain it.
  • Zero clinical knowledge. Most coaches can't tell the difference between muscle soreness and a rotator cuff issue.

Hey, I'm John.

◆ Duke University • Doctor of Physical Therapy

I've spent the last 8 years helping people of all ages — from college athletes to retirees — get into the best shape of their lives. I'm not just a trainer. I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy who's squatted 400+ pounds and dieted below 10% body fat. I get it from both sides.

My approach is simple: train hard, train smart, and build something that lasts. No fad diets. No destroy-your-body programs. Just intelligent coaching rooted in real science and a whole lot of genuine care for the people I work with.
