What most people don’t realize is that the excessive lifestyle I had — dieting from one extreme to another — caused me to develop an eating disorder. I became a severe binge eater and struggle with it to this day. I completely understand the power food holds over us, and I have developed a way to keep it in check.

There were times I would eat a dozen “Dove bars” in one sitting. I would also have problems at all-you-can-eat buffet style restaurants. Las Vegas was the worst for me. I would go in to eat one meal and on several occasions stayed for several hours eating until I got sick. I would walk out feeling completely defeated and depressed. I would then go into the gym at the hotel and do cardio for hours at a time to work off what I just ate. It was a vicious cycle I knew could kill me one day.

So trust me when I say, “I understand.”

I created Fearless Fitness with overall health and wellness in mind. As trainers we need to understand both the male and female perspective on fitness goals as well as health and wellness.

True change begins in the mind. By shifting focus from physical appearance to overall health and longevity, you get results that last. Change your mindset and your body will follow.

No two people are alike, which is why every program is built to the individual. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, the job is to motivate, educate and evaluate at every step — and to get you there pain-free, using corrective exercise and myo-fascial trigger point work rather than pushing you through injury.
