Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Initially we begin with a phone call to discuss your goals and purpose for seeking training, if we feel we provide the solution to your problem, we can then schedule a free in person assessment. During this assessment we will discover your baseline fitness level, and construct a program together that fits your goals, schedule, and fitness abilities.

How did you get started teaching?
I spent most of my early childhood and teenage years being obese. As a 3 sport athlete of football, basketball, and track, I was always interested in researching ways I can train my body to become more athletic and be in better shape. In the early internet days, this lead me into a deep rabbit hole of exersice science, anatomy, nutrition, all the things I could stuydy and implement to give me a competitive edge.
During this phase and wanting to change my own body and life, I developed a love for the human body and its many capabilites that it possess. I knew then that if I didn't meet my professional athletic goals, that I would love to coach others to help them reach their's as a career.
Since beginning my career I had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients who wanted to change their health to improve their overall quality of life, and not neccassarily athletic goals. This developed my new passion and found purpose in life in wanting to guide others to becoming the best versions of themselves through health and fitness.
What types of students have you worked with?
We've helped a variety of clients from 9 years old- 86 years. Indidviduals looking for Weightloss, Toning, Sports training, Muscle Building, Postural re-alignment, mindfulness, meditation, vitality of health, and nutrition guidance is who we help the most, and thrive with their results.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently I am most proud of a younger client (10 years old) I trained initially for weightloss, but during the process we realized they suffered from anxiety and depression resulting in low confidence, and sleepless nights. Through exercise, and meditation he's shown a whole new confidence, outlook on life, and the weight dropped off of course. With Body and Beyond, we dont just focus on the numbers, but improvement on quality in all health aspects of an individuals life.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that your trainer is not only educated, but experienced as well with working with your population successfully. Spending most of my career in big box jumps, I've seen a variety of good and bad trainers, with the biggest difference being the bad trainers provided no roadmap or step by step system to follow for results. Make sure whoever you consider to hire can map out a fully flushed gameplan long or short term that will produce results.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should consider their schedule, budget, and purpose behind wanting to train and change their life. Change is never easy, but can be easier with the proper amount of time, dedication, and budget of hiring a professional to help you strive towards your health goals.
