Welcome to Iron V Athletics! My goal is to help you with all aspects of your fitness journey, including your mindset. The key components to my coaching are to tackle the tough issues that stop so many from entering the fitness world. My focus is not only on the way you look, but rather, the way you feel. I want to help you find your “why,” the reason that you want to live a healthy lifestyle.

I have a rare form of arthritis called AS, that tries to fuse my bones together over time. One of the main ways I tackled my inflammation was by going vegan two years ago. I was afraid to do this at first because I thought it would make me lose muscle and strength, a myth that we’ve all been taught. But with meat and dairy linked to so many health issues, it ended up being the best decision of my life. Although I know not everyone in the world can go vegan (allergies, eating disorders, indigenous culture, disabilities, etc), if you are interested in the benefits of a plantbased diet, I can help. I also coach many non-vegan clients and will create a plan tailored to your wants and needs. I welcome all levels of fitness from beginners to bodybuilders. With a science-based approach, I will work with you to build a custom plan to reach your goals, ensuring that they are also sustainable. Bodybuilding is my passion and I love helping people gain strength and confidence in what their bodies are capable of.

My motto here is “work on your body because you love yourself, not because you hate the way it looks.”
