About Corey

I've spent 20 years coaching people through the two things most programs get wrong: changing how your body is actually composed, and building performance you can use outside the gym. I'm NASM and CSCS certified, and I train out of OAK Fitness in Houston. I'm also a firefighter — a job where being strong, conditioned, and durable isn't a hobby. It's the difference between handling a call and getting hurt on one. That shapes how I coach. I build people who can do hard things repeatedly and recover well enough to do them again. Most of my clients come to me for one of three reasons. They want to drop body fat and build muscle at the same time. They want to get stronger, faster, and more powerful for their sport, their job, or their life. Or they're working around an injury and need a coach who will train them intelligently instead of telling them to rest and hope. Alongside barbell and dumbbell work, I coach kettlebell and clubbell training. Both build strength through positions and ranges a machine never touches — rotation, grip, shoulder integrity, and control at the end range of a movement. That's where a lot of real-world durability comes from, and it's a big reason my clients keep progressing instead of breaking down. One of my clients lost 200 pounds over 18 months. That didn't come from a magic program. It came from smart decisions, a strategy we stuck to when it got hard, and showing up consistently for a year and a half.
