NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Raised in Wyoming, I fell in love with outdoor activities like climbing, backpacking, and mountain biking before diving into bodybuilding and powerlifting, which I did throughout my 20s. I initially pursued engineering and worked for Sikorsky, Stanley Black and Decker, and Arcadis. However, the pandemic prompted me to follow my passion for health and fitness. I earned certifications in Personal Training and Nutrition through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I've since had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele, ranging from seasoned athletes to older individuals striving to maintain their health and wellness. My approach to training is holistic and adaptable, drawing upon my engineering and science background to tailor fitness programs that prioritize functionality, longevity, and individual goals. With a dedicated emphasis on ongoing learning and empowering my clients, I meet them where they are, assisting them in developing daily strategies and tools to attain their fitness objectives.

ISSA Certified Personal Trainer

Hello folks, my name is Mason and I have been a certified personal trainer through ISSA with specialties in strength and conditioning as well as nutrition for around 7 years. My interests have shifted over time with what I like to train but I’ve always gravitated towards mobility, stability, and strength building. My personal fitness routines have been extremely influenced by climbing since I started. I enjoy working with climbers as well as general health clients. If I’m not at work or climbing I am likely playing music, on a hike, or making coffee.

NASM Certified Personal Trainer

I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, lover of movement and natural encourager.

I specialize in corrective exercise and love teaching my clients proper body mechanics in order to help prevent pain and future injury. Whether you are new to exercise or are a seasoned athlete, I believe there is always room to improve the ways our bodies move inside and outside the gym. If you are currently experiencing pain or recovering from injury, I want to help you discover the movement variations that currently feel best for your body so that you can gain confidence and feel capable as you exercise.

My priority is to help you feel physically and emotionally safe, encouraged and empowered while working together. During my sessions, I always explain why we are performing particular exercises and how these exercises can help you move more efficiently. I want you to understand how to move your body and learn to love the incredible things your body is capable of!
