For years, the strength world and the endurance world pretended like they were enemies.
Lifters said cardio would kill gains.
Runners said heavy strength made you slow.
Meanwhile, the strongest, most resilient, most capable humans were doing both.
This is concurrent training: you build strength an...
You might hate to hear this:
There’s a very high chance it’s not your hormones’ fault that you can’t lose weight, that you’re gaining weight, or that you can’t build muscle.
Hormones are an easy scapegoat. They’re invisible, mysterious, and outside of what most people feel they can control. So whe...
Cycle syncing workouts is gaining popularity... yes, I'm talking about women training on their dreaded period (dudes, don't shy away — this one might be interesting for you, too.)
Dr. Stacy Sims has been pioneering this movement, and she makes some pretty good points about tailoring training and nu...
The hardest thing about fitness coaching isn’t writing programs.
It’s not exercise science, picking the “right” rep scheme, or choosing whether you should be doing barbell squats or Bulgarian split squats.
The truth is... the fitness program matters the least.🤫
What matters most?
Your lifestyle. W...
You used to move like an athlete.
You trained hard. You competed. You pushed your limits.
But then… life happened.
Work, family, bills, responsibilities. Your training got pushed to the back burner. Your body composition changed. Your confidence dipped. And now the workouts (if they happen at all) ...
These are the common threads I see in my most successful clients — the ones who don’t just get results, but keep them for life.
-
Clarity around their goals – What are you aiming for and why? And I mean really dig into the why. “I want to lose weight” is surface level. Why do you want to lose wei

If you’ve ever googled:
-
“How many calories should I eat to lose weight?”
-
“How much protein do I need to build muscle?”
-
Or even just “What are macros?”
You’re not alone.
One of the most common reasons people don’t see results from their training and nutrition is because they’re g...
Not that I’ve ever run far in my life, but it’s on my bucket list. Maybe 10 miles is far to some and nothing to others. A half marathon will get done at some point (update: happening June 8, 2025)...
After that? We’ll see.
Running can be really therapeutic for me (and for many others), as long as ...
You guys know the famous 10,000 steps per day goal. It’s everywhere... on your smartwatch, in your health apps, all over social media, and probably at the back of your mind whenever you realize you’ve been sitting too long.
But what does it actually do for you? And is 10,000 steps really the magic ...
When I agreed to move back to New York State, there was one non-negotiable on my end: I must have a sauna to get through the winter.
Let me explain. Having grown up in New York, I knew firsthand just how brutal the winters could be. The gray skies, the bitter cold — it’s enough to make anyone crave...
This is one of the most common questions I get: How much protein should I be eating?
Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're an experienced athlete, protein is a crucial part of your nutrition, but figuring out how much you really need can be confusing.
So, let’s clear it up: T...
If you’ve followed my training for any length of time, you know I’m big on durability. The ability to stay in the game, train hard, and keep injuries at bay is one thing that separates those who perform for a lifetime from those who burn out too soon.
Even more importantly (for me), is the ability ...
