ABOUT
Though football is Dwayne’s favorite sport, he played almost every sport while growing up in southern California. In college, Dwayne went from classroom to coaching as a Student Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach. Hard work and a special value in speedy recovery to injured athletes led to Dwayne becoming the first graduate Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach at Colorado State.
After graduating with a Masters in Education, Dwayne returned to Fort Lewis College in Durango to build the strength and conditioning program from scratch. Here he gained experience working every varsity sport, teaching Exercise Science classes, and mentoring three interns.
After six years of collegiate strength coaching (2012-2017), Dwayne (also known as ‘Coach P’) has decided to expand his reach into personal training.
My Training Approach
With over a decade of experience in strength & conditioning and personal training—including coaching at the NCAA Division I level and working with professional athletes—I bring elite-level programming to everyday individuals. But my real passion is helping people of all backgrounds move better, feel stronger, and live with more confidence—whether you're a high performer or just starting your journey.
I’ve trained clients of all ages, including individuals in their 90s, as well as those with paraplegia and autoimmune conditions. I believe fitness should be accessible, intelligent, and empowering.
🧠 Movement with Mindfulness
My training incorporates principles of meditation and mindful movement, helping you stay present, reduce stress, and build awareness in your body. Every rep, breath, and cue has a purpose.
🎯 Education Meets Execution
Technique matters. I don’t just train you—I teach you. My sessions are rooted in movement education, so you leave with a deeper understanding of your body and how to use it well.
🔧 Customized, Intelligent Programming
Every program is built from scratch based on your goals, abilities, and needs. From elite athletes to seniors, every client gets coaching tailored to their body, lifestyle, and growth.
Whether you’re looking to build strength, move without pain, prepare for competition, or simply feel at home in your body again, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
Let’s redefine what your body is capable of—together.
