Proven Methods For The Everyday Athlete

My name is Zack and it’s my honor to coach those in the pursuit of strength, performance, and optimal health.

For over a decade, I’ve been helping people just like you achieve some pretty amazing things.

Things like…

  • Losing 30 pounds and get taken off medications
  • Getting their first pull-up or pistol squat
  • Gaining muscle, strength, and newfound confidence
  • Breaking powerlifting records
  • Running Spartan Races
  • Getting in the best shape of their lives with nothing but a few kettlebells

And most importantly – finding a love for fitness and build a lifestyle around continuous self-improvement.

I do this in a few ways:

My Origin Story

I was far from an athletic kid growing up.

Physical exertion just wasn’t my thing and I had a hard time with the ubiquitous rule in sports – keep your eye on the ball. Baseballs hit me more than I hit them. I did show early promise in wrestling but soon quit because, in all geeky honesty, getting all my homework done felt more important.

In college, I developed a taste for pasta bar lunches, pizza dinners, and PBR dessert. By junior year, I was in a bad place physically and mentally. With the Great Recession in full swing, things didn’t look promising for a kid with little ambition or marketable skills.

To blow off steam, I’d walk/jog endless laps around the rec center track. After some time, I found my way to a dumbbell rack and the land of bicep curls and trap shrugs.

My early workouts, if you could even call them that, may have been ineffectual, but they did help me make an obvious connection – when I exercise, I feel better. And when I feel better, I’m more productive, peaceful, creative, and confident.

Slowly, I began researching training methods, posting questions in forums, and watching video tutorials. I became enchanted with the idea that you could transform yourself from the inside out with the right plan and work ethic.

The pursuit of strength became my North Star.

When the time came to hire my own personal trainer, I sought out the best I could find – a coach with deep experience not only in kettlebell lifting, but kinesiology and physical therapy as well. Under his tutelage, my knowledge and strength reached new heights.

After months of preparation, I was certified as an RKC kettlebell instructor and thus began my full-time career as a personal trainer and strength coach.

Over the ensuing years, I worked in almost every training environment imaginable – from big-box corporate gyms, to public parks, to boutique studios, to living rooms full of toddlers and puppies.

My clients, likewise, have run the gamut from competitive powerlifters and kettlebell enthusiasts, to busy professionals and grandparents.

What they all have in common is a passion for living a great life enhanced by a fitness practice.

Training changed my life in so many wonderful ways and my mission is to pay it forward with the best content and coaching opportunities I can offer.

So thanks for reading and I truly hope my work has or will help you in your journey.
