"I started personal training while still in college, and from day one, I knew this was more than a job—it was my mission. For over 30 years, I’ve helped people build strength, confidence, and lasting health through smart, personalized training.
As one of the most experienced personal trainers in the country, I hold over a dozen fitness and nutrition certifications, and I’ve coached thousands of people through in-person training, online programs, phone coaching, seminars, and published work.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take your training to the next level, I bring the experience, education, and real-world results to help you get there."
PERSONAL TRAINING IN NASHVILLE
Every client is different—and that’s exactly how I train.

You’ll get expert guidance, accountability, and a program that delivers long-term results—no gimmicks, just proven methods.

Prefer to train in the comfort of your own home? I’ll come to you. In-home personal training is ideal for busy professionals, parents, or anyone who wants the convenience of expert fitness coaching without the commute or crowded gym.
I currently serve clients in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Leipers Fork, Thompson’s Station, and Spring Hill. Each session is fully customized to your goals, fitness level, and available equipment—so you can get stronger, leaner, and healthier without ever leaving your home

Can’t meet in person? No problem. My online coaching program gives you all the tools and support you need—no matter where you live. You’ll get a personalized training plan, expert guidance, and real accountability, all delivered through a user-friendly app and virtual check-ins. It's just like working with me in person—only more flexible.
NUTRITION + DIET
Fitness isn’t just about workouts—it’s about what you do the other 23 hours of the day. That’s why I offer nutrition coaching that supports your training and fits your real life.
I’ll help you simplify your eating, make smarter choices, and build a sustainable approach to nutrition that supports fat loss, muscle gain, energy, and overall health. No crash diets. No gimmicks. Just proven strategies that actually work.
You’ll get the knowledge and support to transform your body—and keep your results for good.

ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING
Due to COVID-19, Online Training has become more popular than ever before. Clients can experience the same in-person training from the safety of their own home, online. Each session works similarly to one-on-one training but is accessed online.
NUTRITION + DIET
Coaching goes beyond exercise. I assess your lifestyle, nutrition, and other factors that contribute to your overall health. I offer wellness instruction, dietary advice, and motivational encouragement. With my training, I can help you transform your body and provide the knowledge needed to preserve your gains.
