Welcome to 2six Academy. With over 20+ years of training and coaching, I’m excited to share with you my training philosophy, methods and overall strategies to get you in the best shape of your life. The 2six philosophy is the evolution of one’s self. It is the physical, mental, and spiritual exploration that is evolving constantly. The 2six training method consists of 6 elements (the warm-up, conditioning drills, strength training, dynamic and high intensity finishers, core exercises and recovery) designed to build strength and endurance, develop coordination, enhance mobility and improve overall athleticism.

2six will forever be my identity. It all started at Texas Christian University (TCU Horned Frogs) where I played football and I wore the number 26. After college, I began my training career in Mexico and it was those days of training on the beach in Manzanillo, that I knew training and coaching would be my life’s work. My training style and knowledge can be attributed to Coach Kevin Yoxall, Pat Manocchia and Michael Boyle. I have many years of experience working around the world with fitness companies (Reebok and Freemotion), training celebrity clients (Hugh Jackman, Nicole Ari Parker and Alysia Reiner to name a few) and managing or leading top training facilities (LA PALESTRA; The Wright Fit/15 Central Park location) primarily in New York City. I have also been featured and provided content for two books (Anatomy of Strength Training; Functional Training for Sports). I have a true passion to teach, to learn and share my experiences to help you achieve your health and fitness goals. I invite you to experience a class, personal train (in-person or virtual), or purchase a program to be done at your own pace. See you soon…
