LEAVING PROGRESS & POTENTIAL BEHIND IS A SHAME. YOUR LEAN & STRONG GAME AWAITS.
We Help You Overcome Limitations From Poor Training Practices With An Optimized Holistic Approach.
►Efficiency: Shouldn’t you train efficiently and put that gym membership to good use? We create a custom fitness experience in exercise design to simplify and educate you to be efficient and yield results when working out.
►Flexibility-Recovery: Place flexibility & recovery in the forefront if you desire proper structural advancement & better overall workouts. It’s not about how hard you can go, but how well you stretch, recover, sleep, & manage stress.
►Less Is More: No need for the latest & greatest fancy equipment. Simplify your routine to master baseline movements & develop a pattern of adherence before trying to get cute with premature progression.
►Your Ego Matters: The ego is your worst enemy. Why attempt 90-pound shoulder press w/ bad form? We see this in every single gym! Breathe right, lighten the load, fix your posture, & put the ego aside for better results.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Dude, you’ve turned me into a beast. I love it! Thanks for the awesome training and advice!!! I’m honestly in a bit of a shock…I don’t even recognize myself. I have never looked this good in my life before. You get trainer of the year award in my book!

Arin is professional, personable and attentive, and I can really see results. I’m much stronger than when I started, and my joints no longer hurt. I also have a lot more energy than I used to. Arin is always willing to explain how a particular exercise or movement will affect my body, and how it fits into the entire program.

I couldn’t have toned up and gained all this muscle without his hard work and guidance. He’s a real fitness guru (and nicest). I’m lucky to have found the best trainer.

Don’t Train Maximally, Train Optimally
When we train, we need to strive towards achieving our physical goals through optimal training, not maximal training. In other words, train smarter to accomplish your objective rather than training as hard as possible.
