He understands firsthand the struggle, the need for motivation, and the great desire and commitment his clients’ must experience in order to make a lifestyle change for better health.

He is also the Head Trainer and Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of the Army Physical Fitness Test and Training Program for a specialized Active Duty Army Unit in the area. He oversees the fitness of over 260 soldiers and makes sure they maintain the physical fitness standards of The United States Army.

Testimonials
“I first met Miles when I enrolled in his boot camp class. Initially, I couldn’t run more than a mile without walking. By the end of boot camp, I was in much better shape. I learned so much that I began working with Miles as a personal training client. He continued to find ways to support my personal training goals and challenge me. He also encouraged me to sign up for his running group. At first, I was hesitant because I don’t really enjoy running. But Miles is so motivating that I agreed to try. Three months later, I ran my first marathon—with Miles at my side cheering me on each step of the way.” — Francine
