Hi, I’m Geoff.

I run Living Room Fitness, a strength coaching practice in Portland focused on helping people get stronger, move well, and build training habits they can actually maintain long term.

Most of the people I work with aren’t trying to train like athletes. They want to get stronger, reduce pain, stay consistent, and finally have a clear plan for what to do in the gym without guessing.

That’s the work I focus on every day.

How this started

Living Room Fitness began during the early days of the pandemic when many people lost access to gyms and structure.

What started as simple online coaching quickly grew into a full coaching practice — both in-person in SE Portland and online — built around helping people stay consistent with strength training over time.

How I think about coaching

Most people don’t struggle with motivation.

They struggle with:

• programs that are too complicated

• training that is too aggressive

• approaches that don’t fit real life

My job as a coach is to make training structured and progressive, remove unnecessary complexity, and give you a plan you can actually follow consistently.

That usually means focusing on:

• movement quality

• progressive strength

• consistency over intensity

I’ve been there, too

I’ve made most of the mistakes I now help people avoid.

• Training through injuries and making them worse.

• Trying to “catch up” after missed workouts.

• Burning out from doing too much, too soon.

Those experiences changed how I coach.

Now I focus on helping people build strength in a way that feels progressive and realistic for their life.
