Former Orangetheory Head Coach turned strength & systems coach helping busy adults 40+ rebuild energy, consistency, and control - without burnout.

I built Formula 180 for people who are tired of starting over and need a simple system to rebuild energy, strength, and consistency.

For years, I coached inside Orangetheory Fitness and served as Head Coach at one of the largest studios in Georgia.

I watched people show up consistently, work hard, and do everything they were told to do.

But behind the effort, I kept seeing the same pattern.

The scale stalled.
Energy dipped.
Confidence faded.

And the advice they were getting almost always sounded the same:

Eat less. Do more.

Why This Became Personal

This work is personal for me.

I’ve spent my life surrounded by people I love — my mom, sister, wife, daughter, and family.

I’ve seen what happens when good people try to do everything right… and still feel like they’re falling behind in their own health.

Not because they don’t care.
But because the way they were taught to eat and train doesn’t hold up under real life.

I’ve also seen how quickly things can shift when energy, stress, and long-term health are ignored for too long.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping people build a sustainable way to eat, train, and live — one that supports their life, not competes with it.

The Formula 180 Mission

 

My mission is simple:

Help women over 40 fuel their bodies in a way that supports energy, strength, confidence, and longevity.

No extremes.
No trends.
No quick fixes.

Just a method that works in real life.

My Approach

 

At Formula 180, we focus on:

Sustainable Nutrition

Learning how to build meals with protein, fat, and carbs that stabilize blood sugar and support your metabolism.

Training you can recover from

Strength and movement that fits your season of life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Small daily wins

That’s the heart of 100 Days of 1%. Consistency over perfection.

Daily coaching & real accountability

You are not left to figure this out alone. You get support, clarity, and follow-through.

The FORMula Fitness Values

Formula 180 is built on a community-first foundation:
