I didn't start Redefining Strength because I had fitness all figured out.

I started it because I made just about every mistake myself. 

I was a Division I tennis player.

I became a state powerlifting champion.

I built my career in the fitness industry.

And despite all of that...

I still fell for the idea that harder was always better.

I jumped between diets.

I crushed myself with workouts.

I chased every new tip, trick and "perfect" plan I could find.

I thought getting better results meant being more disciplined, doing more and pushing harder.

Eventually, I realized something:

Knowing more exercises wasn't the answer.

Finding another diet wasn't the answer.

Working harder wasn't the answer.

I needed to understand what my body actually needed — and how to adjust my strategy when my body, goals and life changed.

That realization became the foundation for Redefining Strength.

Not another rigid system you're expected to fit yourself into.

A way to build the right strategy around you.

Strength is about so much more than what you can lift.

And transformation is about so much more than how little you can weigh.

Strength is having a body that allows you to live the life you want to live.

It's building muscle instead of sacrificing it just to make the scale move faster.

It's being able to travel, hike, play with your kids or grandkids and say yes to opportunities without wondering whether your body can keep up.

It's eating in a way that supports your goals without feeling like your entire life has to revolve around your diet.

It's knowing when to push harder...

And having the confidence to know when doing more isn't the answer.

And maybe most importantly...

It's understanding your body well enough that one vacation, plateau, stressful month or missed workout doesn't send you all the way back to Day One.

That's the kind of strength we're here to help you build.

Strength for whatever comes next...
