Corey’s Background and Professional Experience

My passion for fitness was shaped by a lifelong involvement in athletics. As a member of a State Championship varsity soccer team, a decorated track athlete, and a Premier Development League (PDL) soccer player, I developed the discipline, drive, and dedication that now fuel my career in personal training.

Professionally, I’ve held key leadership roles in both commercial gyms and private studios, including serving as Fitness Director for multiple high volume training facilities. These experiences have sharpened my skills and reinforced my commitment to helping people move better, feel stronger, and reach their individual fitness goals with clarity and confidence.

Outside the gym, I’m a husband and proud new father, life roles that have deepened my understanding of the balance many of my clients strive for. While I’ve hung up my soccer cleats, I stay connected to my competitive spirit through motorcycle track racing, a passion that pushes me outside my comfort zone and keeps me mentally and physically engaged.
