Coach Justin could be the Coach for you!
Coach Justin’s origin story starts the same way many of ours do: with uncertainty and complete overwhelm.
In his early 20s, he knew he needed to do something, but after trying fad diets, 30-day challenges, being completely intimidated by the gym, and combatting his “all or nothing” mentality, he felt pretty defeated.
It wasn’t until he embraced the idea of slow, consistent habit change (and having a Coach himself!) that he started seeing the long-term results he was after. This approach has served his personal goals for nearly 20 years, and he uses this foundation in all of his Coaching relationships.
As a member of Team Nerd Fitness, Justin is able to empathize and meet clients where they are, understand their goals, and put together a plan to be 1% better each day.
His broad Coaching style means he can adapt to meet any fitness needs, and his background with Precision Nutrition means that he excels at Jedi mind tricking you into making better nutritional choices.

While working with Justin, I made clear my golf goals were as important as my fitness goals. He worked with me to build workouts designed around improving my golf game. The weight loss and improved strength and flexibility also greatly helped me.
But the best part of working with Justin has been trying new things and finding what works for me. This mentality has carried over to the golf course and has been a large driver in my overall improvement.
I am a better golfer because of my work with Nerd Fitness.
Justin has been an incredible fitness coach to work with! He is consistently positive, encouraging, and highly knowledgeable, which has made my fitness journey productive and enjoyable. His proactive approach, combined with his responsiveness to my questions and input, has been invaluable. Justin tailored a program specifically for me and my goals, and the results have been amazing-I’ve lost 21 pounds in just three months and am still making steady progress toward crushing my initial goal. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in over 20 years, and I can’t recommend Justin enough to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares about their health, fitness, and success!
What I like most about working with Coach Justin is his support, patience, and that he genuinely cares. He always meets me where I am, regardless of what kind of day I am having or what obstacles I might be facing. He cheers me on and reminds me of my successes even when I am not feeling it. Thanks to Justin’s coaching, I have sustainably lost weight, improved my balance, and moved more confidently and easily.
I am grateful to have Justin as my coach. I have always struggled with my weight, and as someone who would rather read a book than engage in physical activity, exercise doesn’t come easily to me. Justin is helping me navigate my nutrition and movement and figure out where I want to go and what works.
Over the past year, I’ve been working with Justin and couldn’t be happier. He’s responsive, provides positive and encouraging feedback, and offers options to help when I’ve felt “stuck.” He’ll send short video messages, which makes it feel more personal, but he never is overly pushy or extreme with his advice. He always responds with a practical solution to my questions or concerns. Justin also shares aspects of his life that can be comparable to similar situations I may be experiencing, showing his empathy and understanding. This makes him more approachable and helps to show how life can be challenging to even coaches.
Justin is an awesome coach who knows precisely when to push and when to hold back. He’s incredibly supportive and knowledgeable with great insights into many well-being issues. My health and fitness have improved significantly while working with him.
I absolutely love working with Coach Justin! He has been so attentive to my specific personal goals and needs, which included getting back to figure skating post-surgery, dealing with PCOS, and the dreaded “mid-life changes.” He provided the right balance for me of motivation and focus without guilt. The tailored nutrition targets and strength workouts took the guesswork out so I could be free to just execute the plan. Justin’s sage advice and gentle guidance have helped reframe my mindset and habits, building a sustainable lifestyle that can adjust to the ebbs and flows of “real life.” I’ve never felt more comfortable and confident in my own skin, and I love that I am more strong for life!
Working with Justin has been amazing! He’s balanced accountability, support and teaching very well. He’s quick to respond to my questions and adapt with me on my fitness journey. I’m super happy with the results so far, and what I’ve learned from him.
Justin has been an impactful coach in every sense of the word. His brand of considerate honesty allows him to meet you where you’re at while encouraging you down the road you want to go. He’s consistently provided perspective and encouragement, while also protecting me from myself at times. I’ve been able to accomplish things from a health perspective that I didn’t think were possible thanks to his support. Thanks, Justin!
Star Wars or Lord of the Rings
I still own a Star Wars lunch box… and use it.
Favorite Video Game of All Time
I wish I could say something cool like Goldeneye or Zelda. But I can’t… Sim City. Yup, you read that right. I like building fantasy cities and watching them grow.
What are you passionately nerdy about?
Learning. I love learning anything. I’ll fall in love with a topic and want to know everything about it. Give me some books, courses, and a laptop to Google on and I will spend hours diving deep. Recently, photography, whiskey, improv, brewing the perfect cup of coffee, knife skills, and archery have caught my attention.
