Hi, I’m Patrick.

I love video games, fantasy movies and books, and lifting heavy things.

I believe that fitness should be fun and accessible for everyone.   Everyone’s goals and needs are going to be different, so I work with my clients to create unique plans that fit their needs, their life, and their preferences. 

For myself, a combination of strength and cardiovascular training have helped to give me confidence in my body and my abilities.  I am a congenital amputee, one arm, and have chronic asthma. I have struggled to do many of the activities I enjoyed because I could never catch my breath, and I had to take very frequent breaks. So, when I started out as a teenager, my first goal was to be able to run for 5 minutes without stopping.  It took months before I got there, but once I could run for 5 minutes, I set a new goal, then another one, and then another.  Roughly a year later, I ran my first 10km race, something I thought I would never be able to do.  Since then, I have trained for Duathlon, half marathons, powerlifting, and bodybuilding. The biggest thing that my experience has taught me is to start small. It’s great to have a large goal to work towards, but if you don’t have milestones set along the way, the bigger goal can feel daunting.
