ELITE ATHLETE & COACH
About Coach Joel
I love training, racing, and competing, but most of all, I love helping people improve. It's very rewarding to build a relationship with an athlete, coach them through their program and event, and watch them achieve their goals! I've spent the last 10 years competing in endurance sports, 5 years in the Army & Special Operations, and have coached several hundred clients. I have podium finishes at Spartan Race, Savage Race, Bone Frog Challenge, Terrain Race, DekaFit, and I've competed at the Pro level at the Spartan World Championship, OCRWC, Deka World Champion, and GORUCK Games. I've successfully completed both Special Forces Assessment and Selection as well as Psychological Operations Assessment and Selection. Each year I dabble in some road and trail races for some extra competition and training. I'd love to work with you and take your fitness to the next level.

"I’ve been training with Joel for several years and I wouldn’t have it any other way! He’s helped me figure out my goals and execute them. He’s shown me tons of different types of exercises that I can do either in large gyms, hotels, or even at home.
