The Problem: High Performers Struggle to Optimize Their Training

Like many entrepreneurs and executives, I thrived in my career but struggled to make fitness a seamless part of my life. I wasn’t out of shape, but despite training hard, I wasn’t getting the lean, strong, and high-performance physique I wanted.

I didn’t have time for trial and error—I needed a plan that worked.

Everything changed after I partnered with Central Athlete. Here’s exactly what I did to achieve my best physique while running a business—and how you can, too.

1. I Trained with Precision, Not Volume

What I used to do: Generic programs with high-volume or high-intensity workouts left me feeling drained and tight—but not necessarily more athletic or defined.

What changed: Central Athlete designed a program tailored to my stress, recovery, and movement patterns. I switched to:

• 4 strategic workouts per week (instead of endless sessions)
• Strength-biased training (built muscle while staying athletic)
• Lower-intensity aerobic training (improves energy and focus by improving mitochondrial density)
• Personalized stability (we explored concepts from DNS that had me feeling mobile)

This approach saved time, improved performance, and eliminated wasted effort.

2. I Measured My Training and Recovery Like I Measured My Business

I used to train hard regardless of sleep, stress, or energy levels, assuming that “more work = better results.”

What changed: Central Athlete implemented objective biofeedback tracking (HRV, sleep quality, training response) to adjust my plan in real-time. My coach and I reviewed the progress from the last training cycle. We adjusted based on my nervous system function, sleep, and ability to overload within each training block.

• NerveExpress to assess my nervous system function and adaptability
• Deloads were systematically planned every six weeks
• No more naps = More productive workdays

By optimizing my training and recovery, I looked better and performed better in the gym and business.

3. I Stopped “Eating Clean” and Started Eating Smart

What I used to do: Followed rigid meal plans that were impossible to sustain while traveling and networking.

What changed: My coach built a custom nutrition strategy that aligned with my schedule, travel, and metabolic needs:

• Protein targets that optimized muscle retention and didn’t require food logging
• Simple guidelines that were practical and easy to implement when I ate at restaurants
• Simple adjustments for business dinners and social events

This wasn’t about following a “diet” but about fueling my body for high performance.

The Results: The Best Shape of My Life—Without Sacrificing My Career

Within months, I leaned out, built muscle, and performed better—all while running a business and maintaining a badass life.

Most importantly, I didn’t just achieve a transformation—I built a system that made elite fitness sustainable. It is still mind-blowing to me how easy staying in shape is. Instead of grabbing pastries from Starbucks when I’m drained of energy, I now walk into a convenience store and grab some fruit, yogurt and nuts.
