The Story
Fuerza = strength.
Fuerza = strength in Spanish. It's named for my mother, who fought a brain tumor for 17 years and showed me what real strength looks like.
That's the standard I coach to.
STRENGTH
Fuerza Performance Training
Move Forward, Con Fuerza.
Whether you're returning after years away, managing a packed schedule, or just tired of programs you couldn't keep up with, I write the plan to fit the week you actually have. One person at a time.
Strength that respects your joints. Performance that fits your schedule. Progress you can keep for decades.

Written For You
Programmed from your intake. Adjusted from your results.
Who It's For
You might be in one of these places right now.
The returning lifter
You used to be active. Life got in the way, work, kids, time, all of it. You know what it feels like to be strong and you want it back. We start where you are, not where you used to be.
The busy professional
Your schedule is the obstacle. Early mornings, long days, night shifts, travel. The program has to bend around your life or it won't survive contact with it. That's exactly how I build it.
The fresh start
You've tried before. The motivation faded, the program didn't fit, something got in the way. That's not a character flaw. That's a program problem. Let's build something that accounts for real life from day one.
Everything in between
Maybe you've never followed a real program before. Maybe you're a full-time parent squeezing in workouts between school pickups and work calls. Maybe you're a complete beginner, a weekend athlete, or someone who just wants to feel better in their body. There's no prerequisite here. You just have to show up.
The Philosophy
I don't just build programs.
I build them around the person in front of me. I'll celebrate your PRs with you, and all of the small wins too, because I know how hard you worked for every single one of them.
I've lived this journey myself, more than once. That means I can read where you are, what kind of push you need today versus what you need to hear on a hard week, and how to keep you moving when motivation runs low. I'm patient. I genuinely love this work. And that comes through in every session.
You get a coach who knows your goals, your schedule, and your history, and a plan that changes when they do.
How It Works
Four steps. One clear path forward.
No guesswork, no pressure, no hidden process. Here's exactly how we work together.
01 · Intake
Tell Your Story
A short application covering your history, goals, limitations, and schedule. I read every one personally.
02 · Consultation
We Talk
A real conversation to figure out whether we're a fit, before anything else.
03 · Roadmap
Your Plan
Your custom plan: phases, nutrition framework, recovery strategy, built entirely around you.
04 · Coaching
The Work
Week-by-week programming that adjusts with your life in real time.
Coaching Options
Two ways to work together.
01
Hybrid Programming

Your Roadmap
After the consultation, you get a plan built entirely around you.
Every Fuerza client gets a personalized roadmap: training phases, nutrition framework, recovery strategy, and the reasoning behind every choice.
