My Life in South Korea and Water
Alrighty, peeps, water. It isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, but it is easy to neglect and it is one of the simplest healthiest things you can do. So drink up! It reminds of when I taught English in South Korea for a year right out of college...
Just You Fitness Winston-Salem has arrived!
It has been along time coming and I have been working towards this goal of opening a Just You Fitness Franchise for over a year. Super excited it has finally become a reality.

You aren't one of many, or a even one a few, you are one-of-one. This enables us to train and empower you with out distractions and severely limits the amount of obstacles you would face in other...
Fight Muscle Loss: Lift Weights…You are likely suffering from Sarcopenia.
I know nobody wants to think about getting older. Unfortunately, unless someone finds the fountain of youth, everyone is doomed to grow older. As you age, guess what happens. You start to walk slowly, move more carefully and let others do things for you (to be fair, I have been letting others do things for me since I was little, but you get my point). In short, as you age you become frail or weak : ( booooo. Guess what? Everyone 25 years of age or older suffers from muscle loss, the fancy term for this is sarcopenia (don’t ask me...
No Added Sugar Challenge!
No Added Sugar Challenge and an update on the Personal Training Studio. First, this challenge was inspired by an awesome client named Angela Tomes! She came to me last November 2016. She felt like she was addicted to sugar. Long story short, she worked really hard and emailed and texted, daily, meet once a month, created a food log. As result she has mashed her sugar habit. Super proud of her! Second, hopefully by end of this week I will be announcing the new name of my personal training business. This past week I started the demo work of the studio. It...
The CODE…Are you WILLING?
As the time approaches, closer and closer to opening the private fitness studio, which will be about 500 square feet of awesomeness. I would like to take a second and let you all know who I help/serve. In short, I help people fall in love with training. I do this by helping them lose unwanted body fat, increase their energy levels, improve their body composition, feel stronger, and become more comfortable in their own skin. BUT...
Long weekend of frustrations, successes, and results!
This weekend was brutal, frustrating, but ultimately it was a success and I am closer to the result, a private, 500 square foot heated and cooled personal training studio...
When did doing the right thing, become the dumb thing?
Okay, so quick story, bare with me. On Saturday, I accidently washed my cell phone in the washer…: (. Dumb move. I immediately took out the battery, did what everyone else recommends and put it in a bag full of dry rice. On Sunday, I took the phone to a repair place not expecting much. $35.00 dollars later, the good news, my phone would turn on but the touch screen is screwed up to the point that it won’t function like it should, bad news. So I took the phone to T-Mobile and fully disclosed what occurred. I had three options....
A system, a plan, and accountability = results!
As they say, a poor plan beats no plan every time! Thursday was crazy busy, but awesome! I would have been easily overwhelmed but lucky for me, Google Calendar gives me a system and helps me stay accountable and stick to the plan. So, my day started at 4:45 AM. Google Calendar, which I set up on Sunday, reminded me last night when I needed to leave the house and gave me directions to where I needed to go. Probably saved me 15-20 minutes trying to do this on the fly. I drove to a client's home and trained him and his...
Pulling up flooring and accountability.
As you probably know, we purchased a house last week and it needs some TLC. So, on Saturday I was “blessed” with the opportunity pull up all the flooring and tiles in the basement. It was kind of the pits...
