My Mission

Converting years of exercise study to simple concepts for the layperson to take control of their physical fitness. Strength and conditioning advice should never sound like rocket science.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Decide to improve.

Why Train With Me

I have been working out since I was 11 years old. I have done fad diets, fad workout routines, fad everything. Then I studied the science of exercise in college, became a bachelor of science, and earned my Strength and Conditioning Certification from the NSCA. I can differentiate between what is nonsense and what is good science for the sake of my clients.

My go-to workout

Leg day + back day combined with a focus on strength and power. Lots of deadlifts and pullups!

Healthy food I love

Smoothies are my goto. They are super customizable and can supply you with a day's worth of greens.

Healthy food I hate

Kale. It's gritty, bitter, and doesn't blend well into smoothies. Tastes like a trashcan.

Favorite workout music

I am all about that niche music! Soundcloud and YouTube artists are a great source of hidden gems.

What people are most surprised to learn about me

I still struggle a lot with my diet. Kettle-cooked chips are the bane of my existence, haha!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
