Functional Athletic Strength

About Me

In 2009 I earned the title Certified Personal Trainer and began my career in the fitness industry. I was designing and implementing personalized fitness programs based on clients individual goals, abilities, and experience. I was helping people, and loving life. I knew I had found my calling. In 2014 I added Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach to my title. I was working in a corporate gym, and also running strength and conditioning programs at boxing and mixed martial arts gyms. I had found my passion for athletic training. In 2016 I earned the title Fitness Nutrition Specialist. I was now able to design and implement more in depth nutrition programs. I gained an understanding of how manipulate calorie, macro nutrient, and micro nutrient intake safely and effectively according to my clients needs and goals. We started seeing immediate, long term results. In 2018 I earned the title Corrective Exercise Specialist. I learned how muscular imbalances cause pain, postural deviations, and faulty movement patterns. I learned how to assess, address, and correct those muscular imbalances and integrate corrective exercise into my clients fitness programs. I was now able to continue and progress physical therapy protocols, which opened my eyes to the world of injury rehab and "prehab" or prevention. I learned how proper muscular balance and movement patterns improve human performance from regular daily activities to athletic events. I was able to help my clients move better, and they immediately started to feel better. In 2020 I created FAS Training. I opened a training studio in old town Lafayette Colorado. I faced the challenges of running a small fitness business during covid. Despite the uncertainty covid brought to the fitness industry, I had success in the community and had the pleasure of meeting and working with some really great people. In 2021 I earned the title Certified Powerlifting Instructor. I learned the fundamentals of coaching the sport of powerlifting. I learned sport specific strength training techniques. I started to see incredible results when I combined my knowledge of strength and conditioning, nutrition, corrective exercise, and powerlifting specific training techniques. In 2022 I became a Certified IASTM Practitioner (instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation). I learned to use specialized tools to increase blood flow to specific areas, loosen or relax tight or overactive muscles, and speed up healing process. I often use IASTM during recovery phases of my client's programs. In 2023 I started operating out of my home, also in Lafayette Colorado. I have great space dedicated to coaching, training, and teaching my clients in a clean, safe, private environment. In this one on one setting we are able to focus 100% their fitness programs, without the crowds in commercial gyms, or the "hustle and bustle" of fitness studios.

I am passionate about helping people achieve proper, pain free movement. I'm dedicated to helping people get back to what they love after an injury. I want you to have the mobility, stability, and strength to live and perform at your absolute best.
