The Method

Most plans fail because they were never built for you.

After 15 years and a WNBF pro card, I package everything I do into one repeatable system. It is called the BUILD Method, and it is why my clients stop spinning their wheels.

B

Baseline

We measure where you actually are, not where you assume. Every plan starts from real data.

U

Unique Plan

Built around your body, schedule, and history. No recycled templates, ever.

I

Intentional Progression

Progressive overload with a purpose, so every session moves you forward on purpose.

L

Lifestyle Nutrition

Eating you can actually sustain. We build habits, not a crash diet you abandon in three weeks.

D

Data-Driven

Weekly check-ins. We read your numbers and adjust before progress ever stalls.

Why evidence-based

I was a 265-pound kid who had to learn this the hard way.

I started in fitness because I needed to change my own body, and I spent years falling for the same hype my clients now bring me: starvation diets, magic programs, conflicting advice from every direction.

What actually worked was boring and undefeated: train with intention, eat enough protein, progress on purpose, recover, repeat. I went on to earn my WNBF Pro card competing in 2017.

Today I coach the same way for everyone, whether your goal is fat loss, building real muscle, more energy day to day, or stepping on a bodybuilding stage. Every set, every rep, every meal should have a purpose.

Questions

Common questions

Do you coach in person, online, or both?
Both. In-person personal training happens at Iron Lair in Apex, NC. Online coaching is available anywhere in the world. The same BUILD Method runs either way, and we sort out which fits you on your strategy call.
I'm not a bodybuilder. Is this for me?
Yes. Most of my clients are everyday adults in their late 20s to 40s who want to lose fat, build real muscle, and have more energy. The pro background just means I know how to get results without the extremes.
What makes this different from an app or a generic program?
There is no one-size-fits-all in training. Apps and templates fail because they were never built for your body, history, and schedule. Coaching with me means a plan made for you and adjusted every week based on your real results.
What's the best way to start?
Take the 2-minute Physique Assessment. It tells you exactly what's stalling you and what to do about it, and if you want the full fix, it routes you straight to a strategy call.
How much does coaching cost?
It depends on whether you're in-person or online and the length of the commitment. We cover all of it on a no-pressure strategy call. No surprises.

Let's get to work.

Two minutes from now you'll know exactly what's been holding you back, and what to do about it.
