Trainer and Martial Arts Instructor

I have been training in some fashion since I was 3 years old. Being raised by a former MLB pitcher in small-town Huntington, WV, my expectations were extremely high for me growing up as I excelled in baseball and football. I received a baseball and academic scholarship to the University of Charleston. I would later jo... Read more

Testimonials

“Training with Tyler has helped me develop greater overall athleticism for kickboxing and boxing through a diverse training approach including strength training, mobility work, and conditioning. We have been able to add significant weight to my lifts and coordination to my movement. Perhaps most importantly training with Tyler has given me greater confidence in myself and my athletic performance.”

"Fitness has been a big part of my life for 19 years. I started working out at 15 for football and never stopped. I have tried all the approaches to fitness, crossfit, body building, powerlifting etc. As I got older I wanted something that fit my goals: to be able to stay active as I age, and keep myself healthy enough to get through work, tough workouts in the gym, and on the jiujitsu mats. I work in the trades and they are not easy on the body. Having a program built specifically for my goals in mind was something that was needed. Even though I have been in the gym all these years, I can’t pretend I have the knowledge of a professional trainer. I knew to keep my body healthy and to keep moving well as I continue to age was something I needed to address with a true professional. Tyler created a custom program with my goals in mind that I followed to a T and gave me the results I was looking for. My lower body and lower back are feeling better than ever despite punishing it working in some rough conditions and tough jiujitsu rounds. I’ve found I have more endurance on the mats and can even hang with the young college studs being in my mid 30s. After seeing my results, my wife reached out to Tyler and got a custom program of her own. This household couldn’t be more thankful for him providing us with a science backed program from someone with extensive knowledge on the subject. Highly recommended by my entire household!!!"
