I heard these words come out of a person who is probably considered the healthiest person in all of their social circles
This person looks like he works out. People in the office likely ask him about his workout often
He prioritizes his exercise routine, is very conscious about what he eats, and LOVES to play every sport. He’s pretty good at most of the sports he tries too
Today, he revealed to me that he has an enormous amount of fear right now
He’s recently begun to develop Achilles tendinitis that is so bad he cannot walk down his stairs normally some mornings.
He has to turn and shuffle down sideways, moving his feet & ankles as little as possible until he can “warm up” by rolling out his feet and putting on shoes.
This is the same person who walked 18 holes of golf yesterday, and played full court basketball on Monday night
He squatted his body weight for multiple reps in the gym last week, and has excellent stamina
But, he cannot walk down his stairs normally
He’s come face to face with the possibility of losing the freedom to do any physical activity he pleases
He’s absolutely terrified
Fortunately, we found each other before his fears became reality
Today we created the foundation for the plan that we are going to execute on to address his Achilles pain and a nagging back issue
I walked him through how he can expect to feel in 30, 60, and 90 days from now
I told him initially he’s going to have to reduce the amount of time he spends on a court or field doing the things he loves.
He didn’t like that. We discussed why that was necessary. He said he understood.
He still didn’t like it
Before he left today he said “I’m still afraid, but I trust you”
Now I get to do everything in my power to make sure he can play sports with his friends for as long as he wants
If you’ve ever felt fear that you will lose your favorite activities due to pain or lack of physical ability, please shoot me a DM.
Let’s find out what can be done to remove that fear and give you back your freedom

I don’t sell people sessions or classes
I sell people solutions to problems that they haven’t been able to solve on their own
Most of the people I work with started with me because they struggled to take Step 1
Working with me is a full 360 approach that may or may not involve actual physical training
By meeting them where they needed me too, and addressing the lifestyle roadblocks that were holding them back, we were able to finally take Step 1 together, and then they crush Step after Step after Step from there
From our initial consultation I will gain a firm grasp on how much of our time together will be spent moving your body, focusing on stress management, breath work, sleep, or creating strategies for an improved lifestyle
Work and growth in the gym is one of the tools I use to help the people I work with reclaim their active lifestyles, but it’s not the only thing we’ll work together on
My clients learn that the work we put in off the floor is often times more important that what we do in it
🟡Never started a training routine because they gym didn’t feel safe or accessible?
I’ll educate you so that you gain the autonomy and knowledge to step into any space with confidence
🟥 Pain keeping you from exercising long enough to feel the actual benefits of it?
My assessment process will let me know exactly what movements will make things worse, which allows me to prioritize the things that will make you feel better and start gaining the strength and endurance you need to finally feel better (while also improving the things that are creating the pain in the first place)
🥵Know how to work hard but can’t stop running yourself into the ground?
We’ll work together to understand your current recovery abilities and how we can maximize them, sky rocketing your ability to do more of the things you love more often.
Coaching is more than just sets and reps
I’m ready to give you what you need to finally take the first step to erasing your current frustration

The first thing we do with all new clients is sit down and have a conversation so that we fully understand what you want from your health and fitness
We understand that not everyone is after the same things, and we prioritize getting to know you so we understand what is actually important to you
For this client, her priorities include being able to express herself on the dance floor
By being strong and capable, she can perform certain moves that others can’t and, more importantly, enhance her experience when she’s doing her thing
The work that goes down in our gym is designed to directly impact your abilities outside of it. We want you to play, run, jump, tango, and explore life on your terms
If reclaiming or enhancing your physical freedoms is something that is important to you, check us out at Courage Fitness and find out if our team of coaches has what you need to live the lifestyle that you deserve
