Train For Life is the program I built and still live. It started with The Firefighter's Workout Book, grew through fifteen years of running a fitness business, and continues through my own recovery — including the shift to carnivore. The goal has stayed the same: strength, mobility, and energy you can keep for life, not a short-term plan you abandon.

This is not about building beach muscles. It's about pain relief and real mobility. Sessions use simple tools you already have or can keep at home — resistance bands, floor stretches and movements, and standing work that builds balance and range. I come to your house, set you up on a practical program, and show you how to progress it. It's not meant to be forever training. It's meant to get you moving in a way you can sustain.

I also teach classes in a studio setting that combine band work with yoga-based mobility. If you're interested in either, reach out. Carnivore is part of Train For Life for me. The way I eat supports the way I train and recover. I'll share what I've learned if you want it, but the training stands on its own.
