RJ began weight lifting in high school to prepare for football, and he quickly appreciated how exercise made him feel: strong, powerful, and grounded.

He learned the value of feeling and being fit and understood that maintaining this feeling was important for longevity and happiness. RJ completed his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Grand Valley State University.

“I am obsessed with bringing the best possible experience I can to every session and every person that I work with. I get excited when clients leave with a smile on their face because they crushed their workout and were pushed to take that extra step they thought to be impossible.”- RJ
