A Little About Me
Everything in life is a “Grand Opportunity”, wake up and smile, and don’t miss a minute of it.
Philosophy
You need to make the impossible the “I’m possible”! There is nothing that the mind can’t do and the body can’t accomplish. Every individual needs to take time out of each day for health, nutrition and fitness. This is easy to do with some planning and short-term goals. I will help you build endurance and strength as well as keep you motivated and consistent with your workouts.

A Little About Me:
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, getting outside in nature, reading a good book, and playing a good video game. I served six years of active duty in the Air Force as part of the Security Forces, a combination of infantry, security, and law enforcement. I was stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. I served at Camp Bucca in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom as a HMMWV driver for patrols outside the base looking for roadside bombs and suspicious activity and during prisoner transport convoys. The last year of my enlistment was spent with the Base Honor Guard providing funerary honors to fallen Air Force veterans and ceremonial honors for various events. My time in the Air Force is what piqued my awareness in health and wellness as my own health started to decline because of lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and lack of regular exercise.
Philosophy
Fitness is more than looking good. It’s about feeling good both on the inside and outside. We will work together to come up with a specialized program that is designed to help you meet your goals. Exercise is the best reward you can give yourself. It will help you live a longer, healthier, and happier life. Staying healthy is a journey you will never regret taking! Making that journey fun and rewarding is what we will work on together.

MEET OUR TRAINERS
Feith Family (Ozaukee)
Philosophy
My personal training philosophy is to introduce physical fitness as a lifestyle, not a chore. In order to be consistent, being physically active needs to be a part of one’s daily life. To work towards that goal, I will develop individualized programs based on client’s thoughts, feelings, opinions and, of course, health history. I will also show how an efficient workout doesn’t have to take hours at the gym. Finally, I encourage that any physical activity is better than no physical activity at all.
