I didn't set out to build a fitness philosophy. I was simply trying to figure out and fine tune my own machine.
I've always had a competitive soul, and to me this is where spirit, passion, and determination collide head to head. I've always been drawn to that edge, especially through sport and athletic challenge, but over time I discovered something pivotal:
My toughest competitor was never really another person. It is MYSELF!
Physical movement & athletics have always been a major part of my world, and I've naturally found myself helping, encouraging, and coaching others to bring out the best they have to offer. One of the things that fuels my own machine is seeing someone reach a goal with only a little steer and motivation from me. That instinct, to help people discover what they're capable of, is part of my mold.
Being fascinated by science and understanding how things work and a career designing complex IT systems has shaped the way I think: understand the pieces, understand how they interact, solve the problem areas up front, and find the most logical yet practical way forward. The human body of course, is a system too.
For a long time, I approached fitness the way a lot of people do:
Train.
Build.
Get stronger.
And I still love all of that….
But over time, I have come to realize that the “engine” is about so much more than muscle, it's about the spirit inside, or better stated, the MACHINE WITHIN. And that's when I started seeing the human body in a different way.
Training is connected to my happiness, my confidence, my energy, and my sense of capability. Fitness isn't simply where I build my body, it’s where I learn how to build my world.
And what do I believe most?
Every single person already possesses a Machine Within!
Your body.
Your mind.
Your experiences.
Your strengths.
Your limitations.
Your goals.
Your history.
Your potential.
…and lastly, your motivations.
No one's internal engine purrs exactly like yours, it is unique and special in its own way. And much like mine, it is there to be activated, ignited, loved and valued, and ready to produce results for YOU! The challenge isn't becoming somebody else. It's learning how to tap into your own machine, and then learning how to operate it.
Simply put, this is what Machine Within is about.
I bring training…
I bring experience…
I bring science...
I bring problem-solving…
I bring nutrition guidance…
I bring programming…
I bring encouragement…
And often, I even bring fun!
But ultimately, what you bring is the most important thing of all… you bring the POWER of the Machine Within, that part already belongs to you.
My job is to help you find it.
