Philosophy


Science-Based Process and Progression


Philosophy

Here is what I want for you:


  • To feel free and strong in your body, so that you can feel confident to be as athletic as you choose.
  • To increase the longevity of your athletic life, whatever your participation or competitive level.
  • To know that I’m there for you, to help you get back the step you thought you lost, or gain the extra spring in your step that you never knew you had.
  • To reach your full athletic potential.

I build foundational programs that work in progression to help you achieve your athletic goals, whether that is to extend your professional career, compete in a triathlon, shoot hoops with your friends, get back in the water or your play your best round of golf ever.

I have a forward-thinking and progressive philosophy towards improving your health and wellbeing. I call it Intelligent Progression – a holistic approach to training that starts with establishing a foundation of postural balance and fundamental mobility and flexibility, and builds strength and conditioning, as well as proper nutrition. I know from experience that without this foundation, progress will be limited, setbacks will occur and you’ll have diminished results.

I consider myself a minimalist. I design well-conceived, science-based processes and progressions that provide the most efficient and effective methods to support each of my clients. As a result, we make the best use of your time and maximize the value of your investment towards your fitness goals. My approach is always quality over quantity, and deliberate results rather than by-chance.

To start, I conduct a thorough assessment of where each client is at in terms of their health, fitness level and overall wellbeing. This is a comprehensive process that enables me to help clients discover more about themselves and provides me with the insight necessary to build highly individualized programs.

With the basics as my focus, I continue to seek out new approaches to get better results for you. I am always learning, always looking at new techniques and different forms, bringing new ideas to our work together. I apply scientific and pragmatic principles to improving human performance so that long-term success can be achieved by anyone with the commitment and desire to be better now, and far into the future.


I Believe:


  • There are no short-cuts.
  • Process is essential and commitment is key.
  • You have to start where you’re at.
  • Each person’s progression follows its own path.
  • A functional foundation is necessary to build strength.
  • Consistency trumps all else.
  • Ignoring science results in mediocrity and an increased risk to wellbeing.
  • A proper program allows you to excel at your sport or activity, over the long term.
