“After many years of not training I’m fighting like hell to not get pulled down into the familiar depression monster spiral. Movement helps. Having a coach that has known me and my many bodies over 8 years and holds no judgement helps. After being back in the studio training for only a month I’m starting to feel connected to my body again, it’s clunky but getting easier and victories help. It’s nice to not feel so alone. I’m proud that, even though I’m terrified, I’m showing up.” -Kate

“When I came to this work I had 20 years of experience doing Circus Arts including as a touring performer. Joe introduced concepts that went beyond technique, even going back to the basics felt new and exciting! Joe is a coach, through and through. I say that as someone who has had many coaches in my life. He will take the time to see you as an individual, consider what your goals are, and tailor his feedback so it works for you. He is genuine, passionate and supportive.” -Juliana

“I have been a member of traditional gyms, cross fit classes, and running clubs but it wasn’t until working with Joe that I really understood my true potential and the unlimited possibilities my body had. The deep attention to biomechanics and keen ability to assess how one little change can affect the whole body- It was the truest of holistic things I have experienced. This is for you if you are looking to be gently encouraged to push yourself to the limit, while also having your mind, body and spirit explode!” -Ryan

“I was a novice before training with Joe. He has a unique ability to address each person’s specific needs. I was amazed at how he was able to improve and problem solve with people in so many ways. I sometimes forgot I was training, it felt more like play and less like work. If you want to use your body to the fullest extent without the bells and whistles of machines and weights, Joe is the guy.” -Tyler

“I was an athlete through undergraduate school so my fitness was strictly dictated by the I-AA football program strength and conditioning coach and was based on powerlifting, strength, and cardio conditioning as punishment. Joe’s easeful encouragement and the way he leads training always feels like he’s on the journey with me. The training provides sneaky strength, I’ll be doing a great preparatory movement and before I know it my body just knows what to do. Joe welcomes all body types and levels of function and is truly responsive to student’s physical well being on any day, in any particular moment.” -Jerome

“I first trained with Joe in 2008 and had very basic knowledge of inversions and tumbling. My knowledge has grown greatly since, and even more importantly my LOVE and curiosity for movement has grown. Joe has a very unique way of engaging with people that empowers them with body knowledge. The mind-body connection is so important and such a different way of working than the traditional coach/athlete relationship that focuses more on reps and pushing hard. I think almost anybody would like training with Joe, but particularly those who want more than just a sweat session. I have trained a lot with many different coaches and I feel that when I've trained with Joe I always have those moments where my mind and body connect and I ‘level up.’” -Hannah

“This work brings intention to every movement and mindfulness to body awareness in a way I haven’t experienced before in any other fitness class. I have struggled in the past with teachers who want to be seen and known as the primary subject matter expert in what they're teaching, and whose ego gets in the way of their teaching. Joe's a special kind of teacher and trainer because he works more as a collaborator than the end-all-be-all of what you're learning. He listens deeply and responds thoughtfully. I really enjoy working with him because I feel seen, safe, and empowered.” -Nelia

“I am currently a Yoga and fitness instructor and was a professional acrobat and trapeze artist before training with Joe. His calm and kind demeanor, clear insights, and attention to detail created helpful change in a short period of time. The training moves from the subtle to the very tangible and is extremely helpful in growing a stronger inversion practice. I recommend this training 1000% - do it!” -Lindsay
