Tom & Candy
Tom trained at my studio from 2016–19. Nutrition coaching and a consistent routine supported his substantial weight loss. Together, Tom and Candy also worked on their strength and balance.

TODD / PERSONAL COACHING · 2013–14
A change
that lasted.
A recent follow-up brings a long-running story into the present.
Progress photos from 2013–14, followed by updates in 2021 and 2026.
Todd was new to exercise when we trained together in California in 2013–14. His program combined weight training, Pilates, agility, cardiovascular exercise, and learning about his nutrition needs.
Over time, the focus shifted from making the initial changes to maintaining a lifestyle he could manage independently. In 2021, he told me it had become easy to stay consistent.
In 2026, he sent a photo of himself doing one of my YouTube workouts. The lasting routine is the part of this story I value most.
“I've obtained the core strength I always wanted”
Excerpt from Todd’s testimonial published on my original website.
Still making time
to move.
Todd shared this photo of himself following one of my online workouts.
