Our founder. your favorite trainer.

My passion for health and fitness started 7 years ago when I was at the unhealthiest point of my life. I decided to make a change and become better for myself. I developed a nutritional lifestyle to cut out the unnecessary food and alcohol I was consuming.

From there I started training in martial arts and joined an MMA gym that changed my life. I had competitions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, and MMA. Then before my fighting career even started, the coach that helped change my life passed away. After this life changing event I set a mission to inspire others with the same fire my coach gave me.

I took this a step further by continuing my passion for health into the classroom and receiving my education in Kinesiology. I am set to graduate Spring 2026 with a Bachelors Degree of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Houston Clear Lake
