Testimony

  • “I hired Joe while preparing for the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program. I knew I needed to build muscle, while building and maintaining my endurance. Joe put together a program that led to my success during the special operations assessments. My 5 mile run improved by 2:14, my 12 mile improved by 12:03, while simultaneously improving my compound lifts by 10-15%. Joe is a true professional, he always made time for me and my problems, I had his complete dedication at all times. I continually recommend him to my Ranger team members looking to maximize their performance."

  • "I’ve been working with Joe for about a year, both on-site and remotely, to build full-body strength for ski season. Training my legs has always been challenging due to multiple ACL injuries and an extensive surgical history. Thanks to Joe’s guidance, I now feel stronger, healthier, and more capable than ever—enjoying full days on the slopes with faster recovery times. Joe’s approach goes far beyond physical training. He helps me prioritize fitness, track habits, and maintain a more active, balanced lifestyle. What sets him apart is his ability to listen, adapt, and create sustainable plans makes him an exceptional coach and accountability partner. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone looking to overcome chronic injuries and get back to doing what they love."

  • "I spent the better part of the last two decades sitting at my desk for work. In this time, I had many short stints in the gym, but I was never confident in what I was doing and I always got burnt out. After having a hip surgery, I needed someone to help me navigate my return to exercise. Not only has Joe been warm and welcoming, but he has designed an exercise program catering to my specific needs and re-injury concerns. Our sessions together at the Core Collective have become a highlight of my week. I always leave feeling energized and confident."

  • "I hired Joe to improve my cardiovascular fitness and take away the stress of writing my own program. As a coach, I know enough to do this myself, but I also know that my biases can create barriers for progress. Not only has hiring Joe saved me time and brain power, but he has been an excellent communicator, seamlessly incorporating new training goals into my powerlifting program. It has been a breath of fresh air to know someone is as invested in my progress as I am. Since starting, my resting heart rate has dropped from 60, to the low 50s, and my heart rate variability has improved. My recovery between powerlifting sessions has improved, which has already helped my performance under the bar. I couldn't suggest his coaching services enough, he is very knowledgeable, understanding, and committed to finding solutions."

  • "Having lifted weights on and off for the past decade, I often struggled to stay consistent after periods of initial progress. Since starting remote coaching with Joe, all that has changed. His programming keeps me engaged in the gym with weekly updates, all catered to my goals. I just show up and follow the plan, which has made the gym much more enjoyable for me. It’s also eliminated the guesswork and effort I used to spend deciding what to do each session. Having an expert to consult with injuries has been key. All of this has helped me crush my previous PRs, which was my main goal for our work together. I would recommend his services to anyone."
