About VULCAN Fitness
With over 30 years of lived experience in fitness and health, from the ice hockey rink to the gym floor, I’ve made it my mission to help others unlock their full potential. After two decades in high-pressure IT Sales, I made the leap to pursue my true calling and guiding people toward real, lasting physical transformation.
My journey began as a competitive ice hockey and football player, continued through 10 years of CrossFit, and now finds its edge in the relentless world of Hyrox. That path taught me the power of discipline, strategy, and grit but it also showed me that everyone, no matter where they’re starting from, can make a measured improvement to their health and fitness.
You don’t need to be fit to start, you just need the courage to show up. Whether you're an athlete chasing your next level or someone who hasn’t touched a weight in years and feels overwhelmed or self-conscious, you are welcome here. Injuries, weight gain, time away from the gym, don't let it hold you back, overcoming any perceived issue only serves to make your journey more powerful.
As a certified personal trainer, I offer:
-
One-on-one coaching
-
Structured programs tailored to specific goals you can follow independently
-
Immersive training camps, both weekend and week-long, in destinations designed to challenge, reset, and recharge you.
Vulcan Fitness isn’t just about reps and sets. It’s about helping you build the strength to push back against what’s held you down both physically and mentally. Whether you’re starting at zero or working towards an elite level performance at Hyrox, I’m here to guide and walk that path with you.
