I'm that gym nerd that turned his fitness passion into a venture-backed tech startup. Proud to be helping 10,000+ people achieve their goals every day. As the cofounder and CEO at trainwell, a fitness tech startup that makes you 10x more likely to achieve your fitness goals, I have a deep understanding of the obstacles people face when building fitness into their life. But fitness, particularly strength training, is so important to our health and longevity that I want to help as many people as I can overcome those obstacles.
