Who This Is For
Coaching for everyday athletes with ambitious goals.
You don't have to be elite to deserve coaching. I work with people across the full spectrum of fitness — from first-timers picking up a barbell to masters athletes chasing podiums. What they have in common: they show up, they want to improve, and they want a coach who understands how the body works.
Getting Started
A first hike, a return to sport, or just feeling capable in your own life. Let's start where you are and build the foundation.
Active & Ambitious
🇨🇦 Canada-WideA race, a peak, a personal goal you've been circling for years. Programs that turn ambition into a clear plan. Remote across Canada.

Why 2x4
A 2x4 is the most fundamental building material there is.
Strong bodies, lasting health, and real fitness don't come from a single intense month or the latest program. They're built — carefully, consistently, over time. The same way a house is built: one solid piece at a time. That's what every program here is designed to do. Not to get you fit for summer. To build something that holds.
The fitness industry sells programs. I build capability — the kind that holds up when you need it, for the things that matter to you.
Programs
Programs built around what you're training for.
