Hey, I'm Chance. I help people build stronger bodies, lose fat, and, maybe more importantly, finally feel good about themselves when they look in the mirror.
My Story In high school, I was the kid carrying extra weight. Not just physically, it showed up in my confidence, my posture, and the way I walked into a room. At some point I got tired enough of feeling that way that I actually did something about it. I walked into a supplement store, explained my situation to the guy behind the counter, and he handed me a workout plan and a diet to follow. That was it. That simple interaction changed the entire direction of my life! The gym didn't just change my body. It gave me structure, confidence, and a sense of what I was actually capable of. The moment I felt that shift, I knew I wanted to create it for other people. That's why I do this.
My Approach I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, and while I didn't end up in that career, that background shapes how I coach every single day. Engineering taught me to think in systems, to understand how things move and why, and to find the most efficient path from point A to point B. That's exactly how I approach training. Every exercise has a reason. Every program has a structure. Every decision connects back to your goal. No random workouts, no guessing, no wasted effort.
The Vitruvian Philosophy The Vitruvian Man, Leonardo da Vinci's iconic depiction of the human form, represents something I think about constantly: what does it look like when a person is truly reaching their full potential? At Vitruvian Fitness, that question drives everything. I believe real transformation happens across four dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Not just how your body looks, but how you carry yourself. How you feel getting off the couch. Whether you can keep up with your kids, climb the stairs without thinking about it, or simply wake up feeling like yourself again. I call this the Puzzle of Potential. And we build it one piece at a time.
What I Help You With Whether you're picking up a weight for the first time or you've been training for years but can't seem to stay consistent, I help you: Strength Training: Learn the right movements, train with real technique, and build muscle that actually changes how you look and feel. Weight Loss: Increase your endurance, burn fat, and move better. No extreme dieting. No quick fixes that disappear in a month. Nutrition Coaching: Understand how to eat consistently, enjoy your life without guilt, and build a relationship with food that actually lasts.
Ready for your transformation? If you're looking for more than just a workout, but a coach who's going to push your body, challenge your mind, and actually care whether you show up, reach out! Let's figure out how I can help.

Strength and performance training uses progressive overload on the major lifts and athletic movements to build force, power and resilience. It serves anyone who wants to be stronger, from a first barbell squat to a competitive athlete preparing for a season.
Lifts are taught and reviewed first, because a clean pattern makes heavier weight safer and more productive.
Weights, sets and reps are laid out across weeks, with built-in lighter weeks, so strength climbs without constant plateaus or burnout.
For athletes, the program is matched to the demands and calendar of the sport: strength in the off-season, power and maintenance as competition nears.
Every session is logged, so you can see what you lifted last month and what the next target is.
Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of strength & performance coaching tend to run like this.
Squat, hinge, press and pull patterns are taught and assessed with light weight.
Sets and reps are set at manageable loads, and you start logging each session.
Small weight or rep increases are added where technique allows.
A planned lighter week lets the body adapt. Then your numbers are reviewed and the next block begins.
Body recomposition is the goal of losing fat and building or keeping muscle at the same time, so the scale matters less than what the body is made of. It is slower to read on a bathroom scale and more durable than a crash diet, because the training signal that tells the body to keep muscle stays on while energy intake is managed.
A baseline first. Your coach records starting measurements, movement quality, training history and current eating habits, so progress is compared with your own numbers rather than a generic target.
Resistance training as the engine. Programs are built around progressive strength work for the major muscle groups, with the load, volume and rest chosen for your experience level and schedule.
The free introduction is your chance to see whether Chance is the right fit. These are good questions to bring for strength & performance coaching, and any coach worth hiring will answer them plainly.

Chance's profile centers on strength & performance coaching, and clients who seek it often include people who want to get measurably stronger, athletes who need strength and power for their sport, and newer lifters who want to learn the main lifts properly. The best test is the free introduction: if the plan makes sense to you, you have your answer.
Yes, when it is coached. A good coach starts with a movement assessment, teaches the patterns with light loads, and progresses only when your technique is solid. Tell your coach about any injuries or medical conditions at your introduction.
Most new lifters add weight within the first few weeks because technique and coordination improve quickly. After that, progress follows a plan of gradual loading, rest and consistency.
