Hi, I’m Ethan, a personal trainer, health coach, and yoga teacher based in Fort Collins, Colorado. I work with people who want to move better, feel stronger, and build health habits that actually last. My approach blends evidence-based fitness and nutrition coaching with corrective exercise, yoga, and a deep respect for what your body is telling you.
My Philosophy: Intuitive Momentum
The name of this practice describes exactly how I work.
Everything starts with the foundation. Good posture leads to good biomechanics. Good biomechanics lead to good movement. And good movement – moving with confidence and pleasure – is the whole point. That progression, from the ground up, is the framework behind everything I do.
The intuitive part is how we get there. There’s no single right way to exercise, and I won’t force a method onto someone it doesn’t fit. Together we find what speaks to you – calisthenics, weight training, yoga, Pilates, Animal Flow, or something else – and we build on it.
The momentum part is what happens next. As we layer in movement that feels natural, exercise stops being a chore and starts becoming a habit. Consistency follows, progress compounds, and the coaching holds it together – keeping you accountable and adapting the plan as you grow.
Who I Work With
I work with a diverse range of clients, though I have a particular soft spot for those navigating the physical realities of middle and older age – because I’m working through many of them myself.
A significant part of my practice focuses on clients managing chronic conditions: heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s, dementia, and musculoskeletal injuries, among others. Exercise is one of the most powerful tools available for managing these conditions, and I take seriously the responsibility of programming safely and effectively for people in this space.
Whatever brings you here, the approach is the same: meet you where you are, build on what works for you, and keep you moving forward.
