Description:
My 1:1 Coaching goes beyond the gym to support your whole self. In this in-person program, you'll work closely with me, your dedicated coach, to build a plan that actually fits your life — not a generic template or crazy new fad. We start by understanding where your body and mind are right now, then build your entire program step by step, so every phase sets up the next one instead of throwing you into something you're not ready for.
Nutrition works the same way: small, realistic shifts you can stick with, not overnight overhauls that fall apart in a month. We'll also work on mindset, stress, and sleep, because recovery and mental resilience matter just as much as reps and sets. You'll have steady support and accountability the whole way, so your path to feeling stronger is sustainable and actually fits into your everyday life.
Best for — People who want direct coaching, accountability, and in-person skill development for fitness, nutrition, sleep / stress management / recovery.

Description:
My 1:1 Defense Coaching goes beyond simple self-defense drills to build real, functional readiness — physically and mentally. In this in-person program, you'll work closely with me to build skills and conditioning specific to how your body actually needs to move and react under pressure. We start by building your foundation — awareness, core, balance, coordination, and mobility — then layer in more demanding, realistic work as you're ready for it, so your training keeps pace with your growth instead of overwhelming you.
Nutrition works the same way: sustainable fueling strategies that support strength, recovery, and energy for training, not restrictive rules you can't keep up. We'll also work on mindset and stress management, because staying calm and clear-headed under pressure, so you can defend smart, is just as critical as any physical technique. You'll have steady support and accountability throughout, so your training builds real confidence and strategies you can carry into everyday life.
Best for — People who want direct coaching, accountability, and in-person skill development for close-combat skills & conditioning, nutrition, sleep / stress management / recovery.

My 1:1 Virtual Coaching brings the same whole-person approach to wherever you are. You'll work closely with me, your dedicated coach, to build a plan that fits your equipment, your schedule, and your life — no fads, no generic templates. We’ll start by understanding where your body is right now, then build your entire program step by step, so every phase sets you up for the next instead of pushing you too far, too fast.
Nutrition follows the same approach: small, realistic changes you can actually stick with, guided through regular check-ins rather than one-size-fits-all rules. We'll also work on mindset, stress, and sleep, because recovery and mental resilience are just as important as the workouts themselves. With consistent support and accountability — even from a distance — your path to feeling stronger stays personal, sustainable, and built around your everyday life.
Best for — People who want expert guidance, structure, and accountability while training at home or at their own gym.

I always thought my body type was just an inverted pear. Big shoulders, no waist and skinny bottoms. Your exercises have re-shaped my body. I never thought I would have a waist, hips and good legs! Thanks
Zoe Harrer
Came in for a self-defense session today and Chad was an absolute pleasure to work with, super stoked for my future sessions!
Sam F.
Chad is knowledgeable and easy to speak with about your fitness and nutritional goals. The women's classes are challenging and rewarding 🙌🏼 I always feel safe and comfortable during workouts.
Miranda Gonzalez
10/10 Amazing!! I was definitely nervous going in for my first session but Chad had such a comfortable environment all my nerves disappeared. He is a good blend of encouraging and pushing you to be your best self!
Ivy Be
Chad is beyond amazing! I can’t recommend him enough. He was able to help me lose weight ,build my confidence, and helped me with nutrition goals. He was always available to answer questions and even gave me the emotional boost I needed on days where my confidence wasn’t too high. Thank you Chad!
Vanessa Lozano
Chad was the first trainer who I felt comfortable with. I had previous trainers who I didn’t feel truly cared about my progress and only wanted to collect their money. Chad was super attentive & not only taught me about fitness but also mindset. When he saw I was doubting my ability to lift something he worked on my mindset. I still remember what he would tell me when working out to this day. He is patient and a great trainer. I would highly recommend him especially if you’re a beginner or want to find a trainer who truly cares about your progress & teaches you things you will continuously apply throughout your fitness journey. With this being said though… make sure you’re ready for a gooood workout. He will get you in the best shape!

I had a great session with Chad! I was a tiny bit nervous b/c I have never had a personal trainer before, and I have some permanent orthopedic injuries on my left shoulder. Nothing acute and I can definitely do a lot now than in years past, but I also didn't know what to expect in a session with Chad. Well, I was put at ease instantly! Chad is a great teacher - very patient, provided great explanations and allowed me the chance to modify if something didn't feel right. He showed me some great TRX exercises, and some good intro self-defense moves using the punching bag. I felt like I had a good workout and felt the burn in all the right places! I am new to TRX, but now motivated to incorporate these into my regular workout routines. Even the punching bag wasn't as scary as it first appeared. I learned some nice functional moves that would be good to incorporate. Thank you Chad!!! I appreciate you and the time you spent with me!

When my husband and I decided to invest in a personal trainer, we did a lot of searching but found that Chad at Ember Athletics was the best fit for our schedule, location, budget, and goals. The gym is small but big enough to perform any workout with all necessary equipment and without the big gym chain crowds and intimidation. Chad is a great coach who is knowledgeable about the mind, body, and nutrition. He really cares about his clients and makes himself available outside of the gym because he is invested in having you achieve your goals. He is kind and a great motivator without being pushy or judgmental. My husband and I looked forward to our 8am morning workout routine three times a week at the studio where we would push hard, sweat hard, laugh hard and have great conversation. Chad gave us a solid foundation in kickstarting our health, nutrition, and fitness goals. We are super grateful that our time, money and energy was spent working with him. If you are looking to start investing in your health and fitness, make sure to bring water and towel and get ready to sweat because Chad at Ember Athletics is who you want to go to!
Kathleen K.
Chad was professional, knowledgeable and made the self defense and nutrition class fun! I own a business and have a team of women. Since we are all women, I thought a self defense class would be a good addition to our monthly training classes. I’m so glad to have found Chad. He was amazing! Definitely recommend.
Andrew P.
Chad is awesome! I did virtual coaching with him and he made it so convenient and easy that I felt he was right there with me through the workouts/meal planning. Chad is highly skilled and knowledgeable at what he does! He constantly checked in and tweaked my workouts based on my feedback. I’m excited to continue working with Chad!
