I coach about 30 athletes a year.
That’s by design.
Twelve years coaching. Two thousand sessions taught. One stubborn belief: most fitness fails because it’s a copy-paste, not a coaching relationship.
The receipts.

Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (2014, recertified through 2027).

“Iron Studio is purposely small — six platforms, two squat racks, no mirrors. The work happens here.”
The road that built this practice.
2010 — A blown-out knee
Mid-college 5K career, three months from a regional final. The PT clinic that put me back together would change my career.
2013 — M.S. Exercise Physiology
George Mason University. Studied neuromuscular adaptation in distance runners — the foundation of how I program today.
2014–2018 — Collegiate strength coach
Built strength and rehab programs for two D1 cross-country teams and a rugby club. Eight years, 200+ athletes, two conference titles.
2019 — Burnout & sabbatical
Took a year off coaching, lifted recreationally, learned to cook, hiked the Long Trail. Came back with a much smaller idea of what good coaching looks like.
2021 — Iron Studio opens
600 square feet in Brooklyn. Four platforms, no mirrors, one rule: small roster, real coaching.
Today — Six programs, online + studio
~30 athletes coached deeply. Six on-demand programs for the rest of you. Same rules, same standards.
If this sounds like a place you’d train, let’s talk.
