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."
My career has been devoted to promoting health through exercise. From academic training to roles in cancer support and hospital wellness initiatives, I've delivered unique solutions to bridge fitness and medical care, advocating for proactive community health strategies. 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 training, group fitness, athletic coaching, clinical well-being, and pre- and rehabilitative programs. With these skillsets and knowledge bases, I aspire to drive innovative solutions and create real-world applications of exercise services that produce significant medical outcomes and truly change lives.
I aim to encourage individuals to take control of their health, cultivating an uplifting culture of awareness and well-being through education, physical literacy, and inspiration. To create a cultural shift away from the epidemic of inactivity, I'm seeking partners in healthcare to improve the accessibility of healthy living opportunities within 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.”

Aaron's Journey
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 with lifestyle 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 the skillsets of coaching exercise to assist others in their journey to live a long and vibrant life.
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 non-profit supporting cancer survivors through exercise recovery programs while continuing to pursue my business in fitness and wellness. My wife joins me on this mission by integrating wellbeing 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!
