About Darius

My journey into fitness and health began when I realized the importance of movement while watching my parents navigate life well into their fifties during my youth. This realization inspired me to pursue a career in personal training. Movement is vital to living a longer, healthier life, yet everyone’s journey is unique—shaped by different ailments, ages, body types, fitness goals, and backgrounds. The key is simple: JUST MOVE. I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others extend their lives, achieve their fitness goals, and have fun along the way. After all, health is wealth, right? Growing up, I played basketball and football, which taught me the value of discipline, teamwork, and resilience—qualities I bring into every training session.

Turning Point

The global pandemic of 2020 was a transformative moment for me—it reignited my focus and solidified my passion for personal training as my long-term career. I took a leap of faith, quitting my “normal” 9-to-5 job, and committed to becoming a full-time trainer. Consistency is the cornerstone of success, not only in personal training but in life. I’ve learned the importance of showing up and putting in the work day in and day out, regardless of the circumstances. As a coach, I can guide, motivate, and support, but my clients must make the choice to match that commitment. When we bring equal dedication to the table, that’s when the real results happen!

Motivation & Passion

My purpose as a trainer is to help people embrace the importance of movement as a lifelong journey. I’m passionate about serving everyone—from energetic kids to dedicated athletes to mature adults. My goal is to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and achieve their personal best.
