Well-Rounded, Not Random: My Approach to EVOLVED Training

I started my fitness journey at the barre — the ballet barre, that is. Years of classical training taught me discipline, control, and how to move with intention. But it wasn’t until I entered my 30s that I truly stepped into my strength — literally.

That’s when I picked up my first kettlebell and everything changed.

Since then, I’ve trained across a wide spectrum of modalities: kettlebells, barbell strength, HIIT, dynamic performance work, CrossFit, and now, competitive Olympic weightlifting. On pa

per, it looks like variety — and it is. But here’s the thing most people miss:

Variety doesn’t mean chaos. And being well-rounded doesn’t mean you’re constantly starting over.

What makes a strong athlete (and a strong coach) is knowing how to cycle through seasons of training without losing sight of the foundations. Yes, I’ve added tools and skills over the years. But the basics? They’ve never left.

For me, kettlebell training and foundational lifts are always in rotation — whether I’m prepping for a comp, working on speed and power, or just getting in solid movement during a busy week. Right now, my focus is weightlifting, but I still sprinkle in plyos, conditioning, and kettlebell training because they all support the bigger picture.

And that picture isn’t built by chasing every new fitness trend or program that shows up on your feed. Growth takes time. Strength takes reps. Confidence takes showing up when it’s boring, hard, or not “shiny.”

You don’t need a new modality — you need a plan that lasts.

One that can include new skills, new challenges, and variety — but grounded in structure and progression.

I bring this same mindset into the way I program for clients. We train in seasons — not just to chase novelty, but to build skills with purpose. Maybe it’s a season of strength. Maybe it’s a season to move better, or to rebuild after injury. The key is that we’re moving through something, not bouncing around hoping for results to land.

Consistency is the thread that ties it all together.

Without it, you don’t adapt — you just stay stuck. You can’t build anything if you’re constantly tearing it down and starting fresh every few weeks with a new “thing.”

So whether you’re just getting started or deep into your training career: yes, explore. Learn new skills. Try something new. But don’t lose your roots. Keep showing up. Layer your seasons with intention.

That’s how you become a well-rounded athlete — and that’s how you EVOLVE.

If you're ready to train with purpose — to stop bouncing between trends and finally build long-term strength — I’m here. I’ll program you to succeed, season by season. Let’s get to work.
