My Story
I want you to know that I deeply understand what you're going through because I've been there myself. At my heaviest, I was close to 400 pounds, and I know firsthand the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that come with that weight.
I also know that these challenges can feel overwhelming and insurmountable, but I’ve learned how to navigate them, and I want to help you become the best version of yourself.
Growing up, I was always the "fat kid," hiding behind loose shirts and hoodies, and avoiding the camera. My relationship with food was unhealthy, and I found myself stuck in a cycle of emotional eating and self-pity. Despite the advice and encouragement from others, I couldn’t seem to break free from the pattern.
Then came a moment that changed everything. It was a rock-bottom experience that forced me to confront my true self. I broke down and cried, and in that moment, I made a commitment to change.
The journey wasn’t easy. It took time, patience, and countless trials and errors. Without guidance, I had to learn everything the hard way. But through those struggles, I discovered how to transform not just my body but also my mindset—the key to lasting change.
Now, I’m here to help you take that crucial first step toward your goals. Together, we can overcome the obstacles and work towards a healthier, happier you.
What Clients Have to Say:
“I still remember my first intro session with Alan after my wife encouraged me to meet him. Within the first 10 minutes of just walking around the gym, Alan pointed out issues with my back, legs, and previous injuries—without me saying a word. I was blown away by his expertise. Since then, Alan has been an incredible support, always available to answer my questions. I’ve gone from deadlifting 150 lbs to 300 lbs and am now in the best shape of my life. After years of struggling to stay consistent, I've been training regularly for 9 months, and much of the credit goes to Alan. He’s truly transformed my fitness journey!”

Alan is far more than just a trainer. He’s not just someone who guides you through exercises, corrects your form, or refines your technique—he truly cares about your entire well-being: mind, body, and soul. I’ll admit, it sounded too good to be true at first. But before I knew it, Alan became my fitness coach, therapist, life coach, motivational speaker, nutritionist, and most importantly, a friend. His dedication to my success, not just in health and fitness but also in my personal life and career, is unparalleled.
What sets Alan apart is his own fitness journey. He’s been through the ups and downs himself, and his personal stories are not just relatable—they make him more understanding and compassionate. He knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle, persevere, and succeed, and he uses that experience to connect with his clients on a deeper level.
Alan holds me accountable, pushes me to be disciplined, and genuinely invests in my progress, often more than I do. Within weeks, his words of wisdom and motivational quotes became a part of my daily life. I often find myself thinking, ‘What would Alan do?’—and it never fails to guide me in the right direction.
I’ve worked with three other trainers before. While they were great, and I enjoyed my time with them, no one has made a lasting, life-changing impact like Alan. He has helped me tackle my stubborn, long-standing bad habits and completely transformed my mindset. My approach to health, fitness, and self-confidence has been changed forever.
All it takes is one session with Alan to see how deeply he cares about his clients. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance, support, and unwavering belief in me.

I started personal training with him since January 2024 to recover from old injuries due to an auto accident.
From my first session with him, he demonstrates his knowledge in recovery as he takes a different approach compared with other coaches. We've been making slow but gradual progress where my back is getting stronger. I appreciate that he listens to my concerns and has a methodical approach to his training. He's also observant of his clients, which gives me reassurance as l've been concerned about exasperating my old injuries.
-Mavis
“Having worked with several trainers in the last few years, I have had a wide range of experiences. Alan has been by far the most consistent, punctual, and easy to work with of any trainer I have had. He insists on feedback, and actually listens when you give it.” “As a former athlete whose body is definitely feeling all the years of contact sports and intense work, I greatly appreciate Alan’s expertise when it comes to recovery and rehabilitation. He is able to tailor a workout around problem areas if something is acting up and/or focus on fixing them through a combination of rehabilitation techniques and building up the supporting areas around the issue.” “Alan’s own personal history of athletics and weight loss gives him the ability to understand the right mindset to help each of his clients in exactly the right way for their particular circumstances. His combination of thoughtfulness, reliability, and expertise make every session feel worth the time and money.”
-Alexis
“I've been training with Alan for almost a year now, and I have to say, he is truly one of the most experienced and committed trainers out there!
When I first started with Alan, I was super nervous. I had a lot of bad experiences with trainers in the past who just didn’t understand my needs, especially since I was extremely overweight at the time. But Alan put me at ease right away. He totally gets the struggles of starting a workout journey and being overweight because he’s been there himself!
So, I jumped into weight training three times a week, and let me tell you, I fell in love! The challenges he brings to each session are amazing, and his ability to push me just enough really motivates me to strive for better and greater things.
Alan is 100% focused on helping me achieve my goals, and he makes every session not just challenging but somehow fun, too! I can’t believe how much my overall fitness has improved since I started working with him. I've lost 50 pounds, dropped 5% body fat, and I’m lifting progressively heavier weights like it’s no big deal! I’m pushing myself harder than I ever thought possible, and I couldn’t be more excited about my progress!
I thoroughly enjoy having him as my trainer, and would recommend Alan to anyone looking to improve their fitness and get in the best shape of there lives
You have no idea how much you’ve helped me”
