About Coach Joel

  • Instagram

I love training, racing, and competing, but most of all, I love working with athletes of all levels. There is nothing quite as rewarding as building a relationship with an athlete, designing a smart program, helping them stick to it, and seeing them achieve, and far exceed, their goals! For myself, I've spent the last 10 years in endurance sports and have coached several hundred clients over that same time frame. I have podium finishes at Spartan Race, Savage Race, Bone Frog Challenge, Terrain Race, and many other obstacle course races. I have numerous podiums in Deka Strong, Deka Mile, and DekaFit Teams. I've also accomplished many of the top performance standards in Tactical Fitness. I've competed in the Spartan World Championship, OCR World Championship, and DekaFit World Championship.

"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.

I love Trio Fitness! Luke helped me regain my strength after shoulder surgery as well as improve my overall physical health and endurance! The Trio Fitness app is easy to navigate, videos show you exactly what to do, trainers are engaged in your progress, and my favorite part is how convenient the workouts are!

I have been a Personal Trainer for 12+ years and an athletic coach for 6+ years. I've competed at the elite level at championship events like the OCR World Championships, Spartan Race North American Championships, and the DekaFit World Championships. My greatest joy is coaching athletes to compete at their best, whether that's at a championship level or just for personal achievement. Over the years, I've worked with over 800 individuals which has helped me to fine tune my coaching skills so I can best help athletes reach their goals. My personal goal is to set the DekaStrong world record and continue to compete in OCR and Tactical events.
