You can’t afford to miss workouts. You can’t afford to miss workouts. As I’m writing this, it’s October 2025. Let’s roll back the calendar to spring 2024. One of my best clients, Phil Overton, began discussing a book he had purchased on longevity, titled "Outlive" by Peter Attia, M.D. Life-changing. Dr. Attia is a cancer... Continue Reading →
For years, turning 50 was the standard milestone for scheduling your first colonoscopy. It’s not a fun screen, but it can be a lifesaver. When I turned 50, and I remember it well, I was in the midst of a career transition. I had left the office furniture industry after almost 20 years and was... Continue Reading →
Last week, one of my clients approached me at the front desk with questions about his billing. After I explained, he began backpedaling, making excuses about why he wanted to put our training relationship on hold. Now, in fairness, he’s a virtual client. We don’t train one-on-one like the bulk of my clientele. He buys... Continue Reading →
I have always been extremely structured in my thought process, daily conduct, and overall approach to life. This trait has been both a blessing and a curse. On a humorous note, if my mom told me once, she told me 10,000 times when I was a kid: “You need to be more flexible.” And she... Continue Reading →

I've been a fitness professional for a little over seven years, with a lifetime in North Dallas, and I've worked with numerous men and women, coaching them to achieve more than 40 pounds of...

About two and a half years ago, for my birthday—my birthday’s in January—one of my very best clients, Omar, gave me a gift I’ll never forget. He rented me my dream car: a Porsche 911. Not the Turbo version, but a 911 Carrera—close enough. For 24 hours, I got to drive the car I’ve admired... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, like many of us, I had a habit of shouting something that felt incredibly important at the time:“Hey, Mom, look what I did!”“Dad, come see!”It could’ve been a flip off the diving board, a drawing on the fridge, or a new personal best in backyard push-ups — it didn’t matter....

We live in a fast-paced world that craves instant results—faster weight loss, overnight business growth, and instant gratification in almost every area of life. But here’s the truth: there are no shortcuts to lasting success. Whether we’re talking about your health, finances, career, or relationships, real success requires time, effort, and consistency. Today, I'd like... Continue Reading →
For the past seven years, I’ve worked as a fitness professional for Lifetime Healthy Way of Life. This year, however, I encountered something I’ve never seen before: three relatively young boys, out of school for summer break, training several days a week—alongside their dads. Too soon? At first glance, this may not seem like a... Continue Reading →
One of the greatest struggles I see in people—whether they're aiming to lose body fat, build muscle, or simply live healthier—is belief. Not believing in me as their coach. Belief in themselves. Especially when it comes to body transformation, belief is usually the first casualty. The results take time. The work is unfamiliar. Progress is... Continue Reading →
