I first considered coaching at InnerFight back in July 2020. It immediately stood out as the perfect blend of my passion for fitness, working in a positive environment, and my desire to help others be better. The core values at InnerFight—simplicity, honesty, mental toughness, fun, hard work, and smash life—resonated with me from the start. But what truly drew me in was the opportunity to work alongside a leadership team and a group of coaches who constantly push each other to improve. This environment of continuous learning and accountability makes InnerFight a place where not only the members grow, but the coaches do too.

Simplicity
At InnerFight, simplicity means focusing on what really works. In a world overloaded with fitness trends and misinformation, I believe that the best path to creating change is to avoid overcomplicating things. Keeping programs simple yet effective helps clients stay on track and master the fundamentals, building habits that last and creating a foundation they can build on for the long term.
Honesty
To see real progress, you need to be brutally honest about your strengths, weaknesses, and the steps required to improve. InnerFight fosters an environment where both coaches and clients face challenges head-on, providing real, constructive feedback. This transparency is why I was drawn to coaching here, especially after my interview with Marcus and Jamie—it’s all about being upfront with yourself and others to drive meaningful change.
Mental Toughness
Life, like fitness, demands mental toughness. One of the things I love about our environment is how we emphasize building resilience. As a coach, I’m passionate about helping clients push through their mental barriers, develop discipline, and learn to embrace discomfort. This mindset extends far beyond the gym, helping us be better in everything we do.
Fun
Despite the intensity, fun is a critical part of the InnerFight experience. Training should be something you look forward to. As a coach, I strive to make every session enjoyable by combining hard work with creativity to keep clients engaged and motivated. If we don’t have fun doing something, why do it?

Hard Work
InnerFight is built on the value of hard work. There are no shortcuts. Whether it's lifting heavier, running faster, or simply showing up consistently, hard work is the key to progress. I wanted to coach in a place where this value is celebrated and lived every day.
Smash Life
Smash life is the InnerFight mantra for tackling life with full intensity. This isn’t just a gym; it’s a community that encourages people to excel in everything they do. Coaching here allows me to help clients develop a mindset of success both inside and outside the gym. We’re not just training people to look better; we’re shaping lives.

Having worked in gyms around the world, I can confidently say that InnerFight provides the ultimate environment for me to grow as a coach and help those I work with become the best versions of themselves.
