Hi, my name is Tres.

I provide personal training and lifestyle coaching for those looking to improve their level of fitness and wellbeing. I have over 10 years of experience directly helping thousands of clients with behavior change and lifestyle transformation. 
I am able to provide holistic personal training and fitness coaching to clients in their homes in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I also provide coaching online for those anywhere in the country. I work with those new to fitness or those wanting to start again. I can travel to you and train you in your own home or provide training online through our secure telehealth platform.
My weight loss from 2017 to 2019
I have struggled with my weight throughout different parts of my life. In my early twenties, I lost 60 pounds through a low carb diet and long-distance running and was able to keep it off for several more years. In my mid-thirties, my weight began to come back. I was later diagnosed with hypothyroidism. At the time, I was struggling with lethargy and depression until my doctor decided to do some blood work. With the help of the appropriate medication, as well as a diet and exercise plan, I was able to lose 60 pounds again over the course of a year and my depression also lifted. ​As a result, I wanted to share this knowledge and inspiration with others. This is why I decided to pursue becoming a certified personal trainer in addition to my work as a counselor.

What Makes Me Different?
There are so many personal trainers and fitness programs out there, so what makes me and my approach different? Several things:

I Work with High Achievers

Most of my clients are high-achievers: entrepreneurs, small business owners, CEOs, and community leaders. Many of my clients are very successful in their professional lives but just need an extra push to exceed in their personal lives. They are excellent at tackling problems and taking care of others, but often forget to take care of themselves. I provide coaching services for high-achievers who seek expert support integrating healthy change into their day-to-day lives.

I Will Teach You How to Burn Fat and Build Muscle

Getting fit is so much more than simply losing weight. I can help you focus on losing fat but also on getting stronger and building muscle. Many people who are new to fitness make the mistake of going on extreme diets, which may drop the pounds, but also causes them to lose muscle and strength, giving them a "skinny-fat" appearance. Others push themselves too hard in the gym and end up gaining even more weight because they don't know what foods to eat that will help them fuel their bodies. I can teach you a systematic approach that helps you shed the fat, build strength, and give you the toned body you are looking for.

I Encourage Real Food for Real Results

I don't push extreme diets or require you to subsist on diet bars and shakes. I want to teach you how food works in your body and can help you build the physique you want. Any new eating plan requires an adjustment, but you won't have to go hungry on any of my plans. I recommend delicious whole foods that won't make you feel deprived, but will make you feel better and give you more energy.

I Provide Coaching That is Holistic

I provide coaching that goes beyond simply focusing on physical fitness. My many years as a professional pastoral counselor deeply inform my holistic approach, something that few personal trainers can provide. I provide care that address the whole person: body, mind, and soul (PRISM is an acronym that stands for Physical, Relational, Intellectual, Spiritual, and Mental wellness). I integrate life coaching into my approach so that you feel better on the inside as well as the outside.

I Will Give You the Key to Your Own Transformation

My goal is not to simply tell you what to do and what to eat. My goal is to teach you the "how" and "why" behind my approach, explaining the nuts-and-bolts of why certain strategies work where others fail. I want to give you the key to your own transformation, so you can use this knowledge to improve your life and health for years to come.
