accessible strength coaching for all
the gym can be a scary place, especially if you’re in a marginalized body.
As a strength coach, it is my objective to make strength training as accessible as possible for everyone.
I have worked with a wide variety of clientele, from inexperienced to seasoned, young to old, and recreational to competitive. In particular I have enjoyed coaching LGBTQ clients, clients struggling with persistent pain, and aging clients — all folks who are prone to feeling out of place at the gym. I was also on the founding board of reps for recovery, a Nevada-based non-profit that provides free strength coaching to people in addiction recovery.
I strive to not only teach my clients lifting technique and programming basics, but also evidence-based pain science that will help you navigate aches, pains, and injury throughout your aging journey. My end goal is always to increase my clients’ sense of self-efficacy and confidence, both in and out of the gym.
