I was the client before I was the coach.

I lost 100 pounds before I ever coached anyone. Now I help people who feel out of place in a gym get stronger, leaner and more confident, in person in West Seattle or online from anywhere.

Built from the inside out.

My story didn't start in a gym. It started with me looking in the mirror and not liking what I saw. I was carrying an extra 100 pounds and felt stuck, out of energy, and unsure where to even begin. Fitness became my way out, and that same journey is the reason Blaize Fitness exists.

I remember exactly what it feels like to walk into a gym for the first time and feel completely out of place. That memory shapes everything I do now. Every session, every plan and every conversation is built so you feel safe, supported and capable from day one.

I believe in people until they believe in themselves.

Whether you train with me in person or online, I meet you where you are right now. No judgment, no pressure to be someone you're not yet. Just steady progress, real encouragement, and a coach who has lived the change he's helping you make.

Two ways to train.

Same coach, same plan built around you. Pick the one that fits where you live and how you like to work.

    I build your plan around your days, your gym or home setup, and your starting point. Workouts land in the coaching app.

Online questions

Do I need a gym membership?

No. I build your program around whatever you have, whether that's a full gym, a home setup, or a pair of dumbbells. You'll tell me what you have access to in your application.

How do I get my workouts?

Your program lives in a coaching app on your phone. Each workout shows sets, reps and demo videos, and you log your training there so I can see how it's going.

How does form feedback work if you're not there?

You film a set on your phone and send it. I review it and send back specific cues. Pro and Elite include regular form reviews, and Elite adds two live video calls a week.

I'm a beginner and nervous. Is online right for me?

It can be. Every plan starts at your level, and the free call is where we figure out together whether online or in person is the better fit. If you're near West Seattle, a hybrid of both is an option too.

Can I switch between in person and online?

Yes. If you move, travel, or want to mix both, we'll adjust your plan. Choose "Both" on the application if you already know you want a hybrid.

Real people. Real results.
