Hi, I'm Mitch.

Losing 60 pounds in my 20s helped me go from obese video game and junk food addict to the coach I am today.

I live with my wife, Brittany, two daughters, Quinn and Grace, and a vomit-happy cat named Chelsea.

That's me in a nutshell.

I could tell you more, but here's how I can help you, which is what truly matters: I'm a fitness coach for busy parents like myself, helping them juggle the demands of adulthood while dropping a couple pant sizes and up to 20-30 pounds in 90 days or less.

Heard of the Goldilocks Rule? Popularized by Jame

Heard of the Goldilocks Rule?

Popularized by James Clear, this just means you need to find the fitness plan "that’s just right" with a mix of challenge and habit change, not too much or too little.

Let’s say you haven’t exercised in a while and woke up yesterday with a ton of desire to change.

So you google "celebrity workouts" and find a plan that has you training five times a week for hours at a time.

Here’s the issue: If you’re going from zero workouts to five days per week, that’s a big jump.

Maybe two full-body workouts is your sweet spot to start.

Trying to force yourself to stick with weight-loss habits that are too difficult is a losing proposition.

You don’t need to be hardcore and lift like that bodybuilder on YouTube for hours at a time to get started.

Nor do you need to survive on kale salads and equal-portioned cups of your own tears to lose those pounds.

Most people assume that dieting should always be hard, but in reality, when you create less friction you get better results.

As humans we tend to be able to do things longer and more consistently when they’re something we can sustain.

Because, the truth is, fat loss is a gradual process.

That five-pound loss a week into a crash diet wasn’t much body fat, but water and glycogen.

Just as weight gain happens gradually over time, so will weight loss.

But it beats the alternative of yo-yo dieting and never fully getting to your goal. That’s much slower and more painful in the long run.

Nearly 6 years as a dad... Growing up I was always

Nearly 6 years as a dad... Growing up I was always the chubby "lazy" kid who wasn't given much of a shot.

Then, at 17 years old, I found the gym.

In there, it was me vs. me and no one could decide my success or failure except myself.

The only way to win was consistency.

Truth is, I saw very little success early on.

Struggled with my weight for several years after that.

Little did I know I would go from Transformation to Trainer in that moment.

I'd say you were nuts if you said years later I'd be featured in Men's Health and become the "Pulse" fitness columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press.

I had no vision of helping thousands of parents achieve their weight loss goals.

That process started two decades ago now (dating myself!) and I'm convinced I only found success because I just kept going.

Since then I’ve started a coaching business, grown as a person in a lot of areas, moved 4 times, got married, and became a dad.

People are actually shocked when they hear it took someone a long time to do something impressive.

You've been dieting for 12 weeks and "only" lost 10 lbs?

I've been at this for 20 years (!!) and still have room for improvement.

The gym has been the only constant in my life and, honestly, I don’t know if any of my life milestones would be possible without it.

The little victories in the weight room translated to big victories in life.

I honestly believe that the lessons learned in the gym are the lessons we should be taught in school, but theory is favoured over application.

You’re going to have to face setbacks and trudge forward anyway. You won’t be great on Day 1 or even Day 450.

Consistent and progressive small improvements, 1% better, is the path to success.

If it wasn’t for the gym, I’d have become a very different person. I know that because I was a very different person before picking up a weight, blaming everything in life my life on outside factors.

This is why I so want to help people discover their best selves through fitness, too.

It'll change their life.
