The Movement Project / Meet Sheldon
Being human is an athletic endeavor.
Whether you're training for a mountain trek, trying to undo hours spent at a desk, or simply wanting to play with your kids without joint pain, you deserve to feel strong, capable, and pain-free in your own body.
Movement shouldn't feel scary, restrictive, or out of reach. When you lose the freedom to move effortlessly, you lose a piece of how you live. That's why The Movement Project exists: to help you move better, build confidence, and live life on your terms.
I've been where you are.
I've loved movement for as long as I can remember, from childhood sports to my time as an Eagle Scout and serving as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman. But my journey hasn't been a straight line.
In 2013, I was overweight, struggling with anxiety, and hiding behind food and inactivity. When I finally decided to make a change, I lost 50 pounds, rediscovered my confidence, and fell in love with strength. Later, a severe knee injury sidelined me, forcing me to dive deep into movement science to figure out how to rebuild my body safely.
I know what it feels like to feel stuck, lose confidence, or fear that an old injury will keep you from doing what you love. I also know how transformational it is to pick yourself back up with the right support.
Coaching built on real experience & science.
With a B.A. in Exercise Science, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification, and over 8,000+ coaching hours, I've helped hundreds of people rebuild their relationship with movement at every level of human movement.
My background in healthcare and functional restoration has allowed me to work across a wide range of movement needs:
Group & High-Energy Coaching
Years of leading small groups and large classes, creating dynamic, motivating environments that inspire people to push safely beyond what they thought possible.
Personalized Strength & Range of Motion
Root-cause movement programming designed to improve mobility, build real-world strength, and optimize joint health so your results in the gym carry over into daily life.
My coaching philosophy is simple.
Lead by example
I will never ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself or don't truly believe you are capable of achieving.
Personalized, root-cause care
We don't just exercise; we optimize how your body moves so your results carry over into daily life.
Unshakable belief
My goal is to equip you with the tools, strength, and confidence to realize you are far stronger than you think.
