Hi, I’m Donald!
I’m a personal trainer dedicated to helping busy parents and professionals get stronger and move better—without wasting time on ineffective workouts. As a parent and business owner myself, I know how valuable your time is, and I’m here to make fitness fit into your life, not take it over.

My fitness journey started in the Navy, where I first got into working out. Like many people, I did a lot of things wrong before I figured out what actually worked. One of my biggest ‘aha’ moments was realizing that there’s an effective dose of training—anything beyond that is just fluff. That lesson shaped the way I train today: focusing on smart, efficient workouts that deliver results without wasting time.

Another big realization came when I learned that not everyone responds the same way to training. The "perfect program" doesn’t exist because each person moves differently, has different strengths, and brings their own experiences to fitness. I also discovered how much psychology and behavior play a role—long-term success isn’t just about the right exercises, but about building habits that actually stick.

I’m an ACE-certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, as well as a NASM Virtual Coaching Specialist. My philosophy is simple: strength allows you to live, and mobility keeps you living. Strength is the fun stuff, but mobility is what lets you keep doing the fun stuff for years to come.

I also believe that if you don’t want to do something, why is it in your training? (Within reason, of course.) I say this because I hate burpees—so you won’t see me doing them, and I won’t make you do them either.

Fun Fact:
I have twins who keep me on my toes! When I’m not lifting weights or diving into a game of Dungeons & Dragons, I’m geeking out over Star Wars. I can’t wait to dress my twins as Luke and Leia! I also set the Idaho state deadlift record in the junior division, lifting 462 pounds at 165 lbs back in 2020.
