About Real Talk Fitness, Running & Wellness

This is a space for people who care about growth. For the last decade, I’ve built a little career I am proud of as a full-time fitness professional (run coach, personal trainer and instructor) based in New York City. You can read more about me and my services here. I write about training, discipline, ambition, rest, identity and the seasons that shape us.

If you’re interested in:

  • Thoughtful essays you can return to

  • A calmer, clearer relationship with goals and fitness

  • Language for things you’ve felt but haven’t named yet

  • A perspective that values longevity over aesthetics

Each post is meant to slow you down just enough to notice what actually matters without asking you to disengage from your life.

If you’re tired of content that treats rest as a reward, productivity as virtue or suffering as proof, you’ll feel at home here.
