Nutrition for your body, mind and soul. Uncommon perspectives on fitness, wellness and active living.
Become Strong For Life: Your Journey to Lasting Fitness
Transform your body & life with 3 months of personalized fitness and wellness coaching.
Are you exhausted from endless workouts that drain rather than energize you?
Tired of bouncing between fad diets, only to feel frustrated when the results fade?
You’re not alone.
Each year, countless people start with good intentions, but their motivation isn’t clear, and when life inevitably brings challenges their way, small setbacks snowball into completely abandoning the plan. They become trapped in rigid routines that demand too much time and energy, leading to injury, frustration, and eventually, giving up.
If this sounds familiar, it’s time for a change—a sustainable, supportive approach that puts the emphasis on why we train in the first place: to improve our lives.

" Before working with John, I struggled with creating a structured and effective workout routine. I felt lost with so many exercise options and didn’t know how to progress toward my goals efficiently. John changed that by designing a tailored program that was both comprehensive and easy to follow. He broke down each movement and explained why it was important, which made everything feel much more approachable and motivating. Through John’s guidance, I learned not only the correct techniques, he takes time showing the excercices detailed, but also how to stay consistent and track my progress. His approach is unique because he genuinely cares about his clients' constraints and growth, not just short-term results. John’s support has been a huge motivator for me. I would absolutely recommend John's services to anyone feeling unsure about their fitness journey. His expertise and passion make all the difference, and I'm grateful for the results I've seen with his help!"

FAQs:
How is Strong For Life different from other coaching programs?
Strong For Life is built on the principles of minimal effective dose training, with a focus on recovery. You’ll train efficiently, allowing time for life beyond the gym while still seeing great results. You will learn to use your newfound physical attributes to enhance your life - developing habits that make life worth living.
Do I need special equipment?
The more equipment you have access to, the better. There’s a reason almost all athletes use barbells. But we can work with whatever equipment is available to you. I’ve spent years training with nothing but rings and my bodyweight.
What if I’m busy during the next 3 months?
So am I. So is everyone. Consistency does not mean rigidity. You will have the opportunity to pause your coaching if necessary, to accommodate life circumstances like holidays, illness, busy work projects. I’m not here to nickel-and-dime you for your time. Likewise - I will also have the ability to pause the coaching. We’re doing this to amplify our lives, not to consume them.
Who is it for?
Those motivated to improve their fitness. We’ll work out smart and efficiently - but HARD. I’m here to guide you - only you can lift the weights.
Those with the will to change their lives for the better - but who haven’t yet found a durable method. Strength training is a great foundation for all life’s endeavors.
Adults with a beginner to intermediate level of strength.
High-quality people. I endeavor to bring positive vibes and enthusiasm to our every interaction. I want to enjoy this journey just as much as you.
Who is it NOT for?
Quitters. The work will be hard - but brief. But like anything of value, it only works if you show up and consistently do the work. If you want a 6-pack in 6 weeks, look elsewhere.
Those afraid of change. If you start your new training plan, stick to it for 4 sessions, get workout FOMO and go back to your old routine - you won’t learn anything of value. Change means doing things differently than you have before - and having the patience to see the results. This means having a bit of faith - and approaching with Beginner’s Mind.
Anyone afraid to push themselves. We will be taking sets to muscular failure. If you’re afraid of working that hard, I’m not the coach for you.
Anyone who isn’t ready to invest in themselves. Fitness is one of the highest ROI personal investments you can make: every dollar goes directly into your body, literally changing the way you experience and act with the world and your very quality of your life. But my time, like yours, is precious, and this isn’t a free service. If you’re not willing to invest now - I have plenty of free content on YouTube, X, my newsletter, and the 2 Hour Body program.
