Exercise, athletics and yoga have been a part of my life for a very long time. I draw on a variety of disciplines to get the best out of every session for the clients I work with.

  • “I did summer HIIT classes with Craig and now am doing private personal training. They are an all-around great trainer - chill, but still kicks your ass! Craig is great with form, but doesn’t overtax you with info or instruction you don’t need. [...] It’s kinda like having a kindergarten teacher cheer you on with a smile while you’re panting and want to die, but I like it.”

    - Keaton, Marketer

  • "I was looking for a trainer or an enviornment that was really chill and completely inclusive and craig is absolutely all of that, and also just an all around great personal trainer and person. they are always super prepared, knowledgable, and a great support for someone who might be anxious in a gym. it’s clear they want the best for you and are dedicated to helping you on your journey. I highly recommend choosing craig as your personal trainer!”

    - jaime, baker

  • “I absolutely love Craig’s classes. I attended my first HIIT class in the winter, and it was game changing. From the moment I walked in the door I felt supported. I was encouraged, and cheered on. There’s no yelling, it’s all genuine moral support, with an easy going, fun and playful vibe. Exactly the kind of class and energy we all need brought into our day."

    - Hannah, Yoga Teacher

Working with a personal trainer helps you push yourself harder and smarter, smashing through stubborn plateaus.

“The gym/lab is a controlled environment in which you can safely and systematically layer skill progressions while simultaneously addressing mechanical and range-of-motion issues.”

- Dr Kelly Starrett

The hallmark of any good strength and conditioning program is twofold:

1. To consistently and routinely challenge both the strength and the fitness components of your constitution.

2. To express motor control under a wide variety of demands and situations, which have transferable application to both sport and life.

In my experience this approach, in conjunction with whatever your goals may be, leads to a significant improvement in feelings of well-being and capacity, while future-proofing your joints and spine against unnecessary wear and tear. It also happens to be the most expedient route to pretty much whatever your fitness dreams and goals are.

Success for everyone is different. Let’s get you where you want to go!
