In true collaborative fashion, Strength Ratio and I have worked together to change the course of my life. At 48, my world was consumed with getting smaller at any cost. I joined crossfit thinking this would finally be the key to losing weight. Zach, Becca and Kyle were my coaches, and under their guidance, I began the task of healing myself. It was scary-- no more pills, no more crazy diets or incessant cardio.

I learned to love and appreciate what my body can do.

Zach began individual programming for me in 2014. He recognized my strength well before I did and encouraged me to enter a local Strongman competition. That opened my eyes to the fact that, WOW, maybe I am pretty strong! Next was a powerlifting meet. I won my division and was hooked. Under Zach's watchful eye, I have grown as an athlete and as a human being!

He carefully considers whatever aches and pains are ailing me and with his focus on sustainable training manages to keep me healthy and engaged. And while Zach does my programming, without Becca and Kyle I would not be where I am today. Not to mention the camaraderie, love and support that the other members of Strength Ratio bring to my life!

As I write this, I hold National Powerlifting records as a M2b90+ in the squat at 303 lbs, deadlift 397 lbs and total of 854 lbs. I am currently ranked #2nd in the world! So you can see why I love Strength Ratio! No matter where you are in your journey there's a place for you here.
