More About Aaron
"I am on the mission to reverse trends in the chronic pain and chronic disease epidemics by bridging the gaps between the medical and exercise industries."
I've developed and implemented exercise program models in a variety of settings, from clinical to athletic to corporate, and I've gained service and leadership experience in personal and group training, group fitness, athletic coaching and strength and conditioning, clinical exercise and wellness, and pre- and rehabilitative programs. With these skills and experience, I aspire to drive innovative solutions and create real-world applications of exercise services that produce significant medical or performance outcomes and truly change lives.
I aim to encourage individuals to take control of their health and physical fitness, cultivating an uplifting culture of awareness and well-being through education and inspiration. To create a cultural shift away from the epidemic of inactivity, I'm seeking healthcare partners to improve physical literacy and expand access to healthy-living opportunities in our communities.
Testimonials
“Focusing on strengthening specific muscle groups is definitely beneficial. I learned about this after a meniscus tear. Doing all the strengthening exercises for the muscles supporting the knee is helping to keep the knee from relapsing." Monika, breast cancer survivor, age 71 (client)
“As a result of the exercise coaching I received from Aaron I have incorporated regular strength and flexibility training in my life for the very first time. It is life changing! Aaron has extensive knowledge and training in the body's muscular and neuromotor systems and in recovery exercise. Our weekly sessions are on Zoom. ç He has given us information and practice with deep breathing nutrition and sleep while always keeping the focus on movement. Thanks to Aaron exercise is not only a priority but a pleasure and necessity for me now.”
- Joan, breast cancer survivor, age 80 (client)
Aaron's Journey
My work in the exercise industry has refined my personal values and helped me become a better family member and friend.
My wellness journey began in rural Indiana, where farming, outdoor activities, and athletics shaped my early understanding of physical fitness. Witnessing my father and many other family members battle lifestyle-related issues, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc., and losing my mother suddenly to kidney cancer deepened my commitment to self-care and health advocacy. These personal experiences align with broader public health challenges facing many American families, and I've refined my exercise coaching skills to help others live long, vibrant lives.
Through my studies in the exercise and fitness sciences, I chose to focus on preventative health services. Now based near Sacramento, California, I work at a nonprofit supporting cancer survivors through exercise recovery programs while continuing to build my fitness and wellness business. My wife joins me on this mission by integrating well-being and self-development into her work in education. Together, we promote holistic wellness through both our professional careers and personal lifestyles. We'd love for you to join us on this adventure!

By combining psychological skills training with my exercise science expertise, I developed a holistic approach to leadership that emphasizes the power of the human mind in athletic development.
