Hello! I'm Donnie and I'm a Certified Personal Trainer. My goal is to empower individuals and show them that their current physical circumstances do not have to be their future. In 2021 I was 300 pounds. In the course of 6 months I had lost 80 pounds in order to join the USMC. Since then, I have lost a total of 100 pounds and it changed my life forever.

Everyone has unique goals and needs, and I develop plans that are mindful of both.
