Rise Beyond Fitness: Personal Training Orlando FL

Life comes in Seasons
Each season brings its own challenges and difficulties. In this, we have the opportunity to persevere, build our character, and overcome adversity.
Before I was a coach, I was a Martial Arts instructor. In the first picture - at 20 years old (2010), I had suffered an injury that left me with a triple lumbar disc herniation, a torn plantar fascia. The MRI of my lower back revealed degenerative disc disease and arthritic deteriation of my S1 vertebrae. The ortho I was seeing stripped me of any hope I had of training and sent me to a pain management doctor. A year later, I was 70 lbs heavier, on opioids and anti-inflammatory drugs - I had no hope of returning to teaching Judo and Jujitsu. To make a long story short - I believe God put some incredible people in my life that set me on the path to healing and learning everything I could to rehab myself and eventually work as a coach to help other's out of pain and into strength. I started Rise Beyond Fitness in the year 2013, and the rest has been history.
At 29, I had an abdominal surgery and once again rehabbed myself back to working order. I've experienced a lot of though the years, and it's helped me to empathize with those experiencing pain and bridge the gap between study and application.
At 30, I lost my sister, and it changed the way I saw life. I began what I call the era of the perpetual bulk. At my heaviest bulk last year, I was 211 lbs, but man, was it a different composition to 14 years prior. I'm in the process of cutting weight for the first time in 4 years. It's my hope to be in the best physical condition I have ever been by my 35th birthday in April.
I have been so blessed to help people with their recovery/Fitness goals for the last decade in Orlando, Florida. It's my hope that with online coaching, I will be able to expand my reach and help people all over the globe.
I pray each of you have a blessed 2025 season! If any of you ever need help, please know that my DMs are always open to you, and I would love to jump on a call to help you Rise Beyond Your Limits 💪

If squats are a pain in the neck, you may need to stop pulling the bar down when trying to activate your lats. There are many athletes that use the simple cue of pulling the bar down to aquire lat tension, however for some people, it can lead to nerve entrapment of the brachial plexus, leading to neck pain and neuropathy. A more effective cue would be to lock your lats down by shrugging down, pulling your elbows towards your hips. The bar should rest in fixed position on your traps, without you having to grip and pull the bar down. Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any questions! Happy Squatting!

Shoulder Warm Up
The Band Pull apart is one of our go-to exercises to warm up the shoulder complex and promote shoulder health. We usually prescribe them for activation circuits to get the muscles across the shoulders and upper back ready for the demands of training. They are fantastic way of also training the scapular muscles and addressing shoulder dysfunction.
