Coach Hip's military background really shows in his training. He pushed me beyond what I thought was possible, but always with respect and encouragement. Lost 45 pounds and feel stronger than I did in my twenties!

Hip helped me get back in shape after having my second baby. His approach is tough but caring - exactly what I needed. The nutrition guidance was a game changer for our whole family.

Been training with Hip for 8 months now. Dude's legit - no nonsense approach that actually works. Went from barely doing push-ups to deadlifting 350lbs. Respect!
