My Story

MORE THAN JUST A TRAINER

I started my fitness journey over 10 years ago, and it changed everything about my life. Not just my physique, but my confidence, my discipline, and my purpose. That transformation is what drives me to help others experience the same.

I have been training clients at Club16 Trevor Linden Fitness, where I bring focused, one-on-one attention to every session. The environment is welcoming and especially great for my clients who are new to fitness or feel uncomfortable in traditional gym settings.

I specialize in working with people who are just getting started, whether you are in your 20s or your 60s, whether you have never touched a weight or you used to train years ago and want to get back into it. I meet every client where they are and build a program that fits their life, not the other way around.

Beyond training beginners, I have also coached clients through competition prep, helped seniors regain mobility and independence, and guided hundreds of people through sustainable body transformations. No matter where you are starting from, I am here to help you get where you want to go.

Training Philosophy

EVERYONE STARTS SOMEWHERE

“The hardest part of any fitness journey is the first step through the door. My job is to make sure that once you take that step, you never want to stop.”

Karam Abboud

No Judgment

My studio is a safe space. No matter your age, size, or experience level, you will be treated with respect and encouragement from day one.

Your Pace

Progress looks different for everyone. I create programs that challenge you appropriately without overwhelming you, building confidence with every session.

Lasting Results

I do not believe in quick fixes. My programs are designed to build habits and knowledge that stay with you long after our sessions end.

Competition Coaching

FROM BEGINNERS TO COMPETITORS

While my passion is helping everyday people build healthier lives, I also coach clients who want to take their fitness to the competitive level. My range as a trainer allows me to guide clients through every stage of their journey, from their first day in the gym to stepping on stage.

This photo shows one of my clients after placing at a physique competition. Months of dedicated training, nutrition planning, and mental preparation led to this moment. Whether your goal is to lose 10 pounds or compete on stage, I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to every client.

The hardest part is showing up the first time. After that, I handle everything: the planning, the programming, the motivation. All you need to bring is yourself.
