Watch how I went from daily back pain to complete recovery

Last week, I realized something important from my own pain journey:

Pain isn't just something to "manage" or "work around."

It's a signal that your training system needs a complete reset.

The Endless Modification Cycle

If you're reading this, your training week probably looks familiar:

• Monday: Modify your squat because your knee feels "off"

• Wednesday: Avoid deadlifts because your back is sensitive

• Friday: Reduce weight on overhead press because of your shoulder

You're not injured enough to stop, but never quite training at 100% either.

​VIDEO: My First Year of Rehab​

For three years, I couldn't squat, bench, or deadlift without sharp pain.

I tried everything:

• Massage therapy (temporary relief)

• Random mobility routines (inconsistent results)

• "Just rest" (pain returned immediately)

• Generic programs (made things worse)

What Finally Changed Everything

What changed wasn't a miracle treatment.

It was a systematic approach that addressed the ROOT of the problem.

Through my own pain journey, I developed the REVEAL → RESET → REBUILD system:

PHASE 1: REVEAL We identify exactly what's triggering your pain (often not what you think).

PHASE 2: RESET We rebuild your foundation with deliberate movement and strategic exercise selection.

PHASE 3: REBUILD We implement structured progressions that build strength without setbacks.

What Makes This Different?

Generic trainers tell you to "modify" or "just rest."

Some physical therapists give exercises but don't understand progressive strength.

Cookie-cutter programs don't adapt to your specific pain patterns.

This system wasn't created in a classroom.

It was forged through my own struggle to overcome pain when nothing else worked.

The results? I went from unable to load a barbell to deadlifting 430 pounds pain-free.

More importantly, I've maintained that progress for years.

I changed my training—and I regret it

I regret I didn't do it sooner.

I used to train for aesthetics. Chasing the look and the mirror check.

That led to a never-ending chase. So I shifted my focus.

Because when I train—the world quiets.

No notifications. No to-do lists. No decisions. Just me and the weights.

It isn’t just training. It’s an anchor.

Because every time I walk out of the gym I feel sharper. Clearer.

Ready to make decisions that move me forward. And soon?

When my baby gets here—I won’t just be running a business.

I’ll be showing up as a father. With energy. With presence.

With strength that lasts beyond just the gym.

I don’t train for the numbers. But for the capacity to handle everything else.

PS: If you’re ready to train in a way that fuels your work, energy, and leadership—without wasting time on workouts that don’t deliver...

Let’s build that system together.

Reply "READY" in my DM’s here to see how my coaching works.

i’m bored. It’s time for a change.

If training gets boring, it means you should switch it up—right?

Let me guess.

You start a new program—you’re fired up.
It feels fresh, exciting, like this one’s it.

Week 1? Locked in.
Week 2? Still going strong.
Week 3? You’re already getting bored…

So you switch again.

And again.

But let me ask you this {{contact.first_name}}:

If you were learning a new language, would you switch to a different one every week?
Or would you stick with it—repeating, refining, until it clicks?

That’s where most people get stuck.

They chase the feeling of momentum, not the structure that creates it.

The hardest part of training isn’t starting.
It’s repeating the same “boring” things long enough to master them.

I’ve coached for over a decade.
And the ones who lean into that repetition?

They’re the ones who actually make progress.

In my coaching program, we train in focused 4–8 week phases.
We evolve the plan based on your progress and your life—not your boredom.

That’s how clients stay consistent, get stronger, and avoid burnout.

Because we don’t just train.
We train with purpose.

If you're ready to train smarter and finally see progress that sticks

I Used to Train for Aesthetics… Until This Happened

There’s nothing wrong with training for aesthetics.

If that’s what you want, go for it.

For years, my training was all about:

Chasing the perfect physique.
Looking strong—without questioning if I actually was.

Then one day, I realized…
It made me feel like sh*t.

No matter how much I trained… I always found something to "fix."
I was never lean enough. I was never big enough.
It was a never-ending chase.

And when you ask someone if they feel happy… there’s always a slight pause.

That’s when I asked myself:
What if I trained for something that actually makes me feel good?

So I stopped chasing aesthetics and started building fitness:

Strength
Endurance
Power

I stopped obsessing over the mirror.

And finally… my training actually felt like progress.

But most importantly… I was happier.

So when you see big claims like “Lose X lbs in X amount of time”—know that it’s all surface-level.

It might not bring you the lasting joy you think it will.

If aesthetics is your goal, that’s totally fine.

But if you want something that actually lasts, build your fitness.

Because strength, endurance, and capability stay with you for life.

Here's the solution to ineffective workouts

I see you,

You’re not new to fitness.

You’ve been trying to get stronger, build energy, and stay consistent—while juggling a packed schedule.

You’ve tried everything (well, almost everything):
✔️ Waking up early to squeeze in a workout
✔️ Following random fitness plans that promise results
✔️ Trying to eat better but struggling with consistency

And yet, you’re still asking yourself:
"Why am I putting in the effort but not feeling real progress?"

Maybe you’ve seen some small wins—you feel slightly stronger, you’ve managed to stay somewhat active… but keeping it up feels exhausting.

You’ve been told that more workouts = better results—so you push through, hoping it’ll all pay off.

And honestly? I want to celebrate you for showing up, staying committed, and pushing forward—even when things don’t feel easy.

But let’s be real… you’re still not getting the results you expected.

Most traditional workout plans just lead to burnout, stalled progress, and wasted time—why??

SO FRUSTRATING!!

I get it. And here’s the truth…

More workouts ≠ More results.

(I don’t have to remind you of this—you already know.)

The problem isn’t that you aren’t disciplined or motivated.

Heck, if I hit the gym at 5 AM every morning, I’d probably see you there.

The issue? Your plan doesn’t fit your lifestyle.

You deserve a training system that fuels your energy, not drains it.

That’s where my coaching program comes in.

It’s time for a strength-building strategy that fits into your busy life—not one that forces you to choose between work, fitness, and everything else.

My coaching was created specifically for busy professionals like you who want to build real strength, stay consistent, and boost energy—without wasting hours in the gym.

It’s designed to help you:
✅ Get stronger in just 3-4 short workouts per week
✅ Improve energy & focus without exhausting routines
✅ Break past plateaus and actually see progress
✅ Make fitness effortless—so it fits into your life, not disrupts it

Because here’s the deal: You don’t need more workouts.

You need the right plan—one that works for you, not against you.

Let’s build that plan together.

I hate when people say this about discipline

I hear it all the time.

“You don’t need motivation, you need discipline.”

Ok cool...sure.

So imagine you’re on a hike without a map. At some point, you realize you’re lost.

What’s your first instinct? Walk faster? Push harder?

Of course not. Because no matter how much effort you put in… you’re still lost.

Training is exactly the same.

If you’re following the wrong system, discipline alone won’t get you where you want to go. It just means you’re pushing harder in the wrong direction.

This is where so many people get stuck. They train hard. They stay consistent. But their plan isn’t built for actual progress—so frustration kicks in.

That’s why my coaching exists. To stop the cycle and make progress feel effortless.

Best,

Gabe

You’re Only Doing 25% Of What Actually Matters

Ever hit a plateau despite putting in hours at the gym? It’s frustrating, right?

What if I told you the workouts are just a small part of what makes the difference?

Most programs focus solely on training, but that’s only 25% of what truly drives progress.

Take a moment to imagine the following:

1. Nutrition: Picture yourself walking into the gym feeling fueled, energized, and ready to crush your sets. When your body gets the right nutrients, your performance skyrockets, and your recovery becomes faster and more effective. It's not just about lifting; it's about fueling to lift better.

2. Recovery: Imagine waking up feeling rested, your body fresh and ready for another heavy session. Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s the time when your muscles grow and adapt. When you master recovery, you build strength even on your off days.

3. Daily Habits: Think about how much better your training feels when you’re hydrated, mobile, and managing stress effectively. Every movement, every choice, every moment outside the gym impacts your performance. When your daily habits align with your goals, you unlock a new level of energy, focus, and resilience.

Strength isn’t only about what happens in the gym—it’s about how you care for your body when you’re not training.

When you bring these elements together, your progress isn’t just sustained; it thrives.

Best,
Gabe

Getting To The Gym Is Harder Than Working Out

Let’s be honest... The hardest part of working out isn’t actually exercising... It’s getting off our asses and going to the gym.

It’s like standing at the edge of a pool. The water looks cold, and your mind is listing every reason not to jump in.

But once you dive in, the cold doesn’t matter—you’re in motion, and suddenly, it’s not so bad. The hardest part was taking the leap.

The real challenge isn’t the workout itself—it’s overcoming the resistance to getting started. Once you show up, the rest flows naturally. Your workout becomes a reward, not a battle.

So next time you’re hesitating, remember: getting there is half the battle. The rest will be smoother once you take that first step!

Be well,

Gabe

3 Myths Successful People Fail All The Time With

Over the years, I’ve worked with incredibly busy people striving for success, and I’ve seen how common myths can hold them back. Let’s bust three of the biggest ones together:

Myth 1: "You just need to work harder to succeed."
The truth? Pushing harder without managing your energy leads to burnout. Success isn’t about doing more all the time. It’s about working smarter—knowing when to push and when to step back to preserve your energy and focus on what truly matters.

Myth 2: "Rest is for the weak."
Rest is anything but a weakness. It’s essential for your body, your mind, and your long-term success. When you allow yourself to recharge, your mood improves, your focus sharpens, and your productivity increases.

Myth 3: "More hours mean more results."
It’s not about how many hours you put in—it’s about how effectively you use those hours. Prioritizing energy management over time management leads to far better outcomes. With intentional energy use, you’ll achieve better results in less time without draining yourself.

Here’s the bottom line: Success isn’t about pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion. It’s about working smart, managing your mindset, and prioritizing recovery. I’ve been there too—believing that pushing harder would get me further—only to end up fatigued and unfocused.

If you’re ready to build a life fueled by energy and focus—not burnout—I’m here to help.

Cheers to working smarter,

How Much Should I Weight Train?

How many times should you weight train per week?

If you can get 2-3 full body workouts per week, there is a strong chance that you will improve your health and fitness.

What do full body workouts mean?

Exercises that target major muscle groups of the body along with some isolation exercises for smaller muscle groups.

Not sure what to do?

Here’s a good place to start:

Sample Workout

A1: Hamstring Dominant (Deadlift, Glute Bridge)

A2: Horizontal Push (Bench Press, Dumbbell Chest Press)

A3: Vertical Pull (Cable Lat Pulldown, Machine Pulldown )

B1: Squat Dominant (Squat, Leg Press)

B2: Horizontal Pull (Cable Seated Row, Machine Row)

B3: Vertical Push (Dumbbell Overhead Press, Machine Overhead Press)

C1: Biceps (Dumbbell Bicep curl)

C2: Triceps (Dumbbell Tricep Extension)

C3: Abs (Crunch)

And if you only have time for 1 workout per week, this can still have a tremendous benefit on your body!

Can I just do cardio instead?

Sure, but you won’t nearly reap all the health benefits of strength training.

Future post coming soon of why you should incorporate both strength training AND cardio.
