Meet Coach AJ

My passion for fitness grew from my own personal fitness journey. After years of struggling with consistency in both exercise and nutrition, everything changed for me six years ago. In 2018, I lost 50 pounds in just over four months and haven’t looked back since.

During that time, I noticed a lack of accessible resources for the "everyday" person seeking practical, sustainable lifestyle changes. It became clear that my purpose was to fill this gap. I wanted to help others avoid the same struggles I faced and guide them toward long-lasting wellness.

Over the last three years, I’ve pushed myself to new heights, both mentally and physically, achieving milestones that once seemed out of reach. I’ve completed six Half Marathons and three Marathons, with my fourth marathon scheduled for later this year. Each race has taught me valuable lessons in consistency, endurance, and the power of persistence. In addition to running, I’ve competed in a HYROX Competition, a challenge that combines strength and endurance in ways I hadn’t experienced before. With two more HYROX competitions on the horizon, I continue to push my limits and grow as both an athlete and coach. These accomplishments have shaped my philosophy: stay disciplined, be comfortable with discomfort, and celebrate the journey every step of the way.

Today, I work as a group fitness instructor at Life Time Stamford, and I also offer individual remote coaching focused on overall wellness. My approach is simple: fitness and nutrition should enhance your life, not complicate it. I work with people at all levels, whether they’re just starting out or striving to reach new goals.

If you're ready to begin your fitness journey or take your training to the next level, I’m here to help. Let’s get started together!
