PhillipsPhitness Online Lifestyle & Bodybuilding Prep Coach Here To Help You Reach Your Goals! February 14th 2010, I was at the heaviest I have ever weighed.

At 5’ 8” 282 pounds I decided I had to make a change. Right out of high school I was the most out of shape I have ever been, after going to culinary school that fall semester I realized that being overweight and losing my breath over a couple set of stairs just wasn’t right for me. It is not right for anyone. It’s embarrassing and downright does not make you feel too highly of yourself. So that is when I decided to make a change and that enough was enough. People always tell me you have it easy, and wow your lucky and my response is always the same I had to work for the body that I have now and I continue to work each and every day, not only to maintain my current body but to keep building and improving on it. After around three weeks of improperly dieting I put myself into a sick like state not realizing that eating less is not the only key to the game of survival. I dropped my first twelve pounds quick, but was making myself sick in the process - to the point of passing out in my lunch hour. After the support from my friends around me I realized that I had to research this diet thing a little further. So after a few website views, article reads, as well as a nutrition class that had started that very week, I learned that eating less is not the answer - it is what we eat that makes the difference. So after gaining this knowledge and about five months later I was down fifty-five pounds; I was looking good and feeling good too! At this time though I started to hit a plateau, but I was not quite sure why, I was eating well and jogging around the block, as well as doing some mediocre exercises. It was this time that my old chef at the time told me that I should go to the gym with him and try out a couple of workouts. My first two sessions were down right awful; it really put me into perspective that I still did not look as good as I wanted and that I could do so much better! It was intimidating seeing all these people just look in terrific shape and I could barely run farther than half a mile or even pick up the fifteen pound dumbbells. But I kept pushing forward and after a few weeks in the gym the results started happening and I became hooked on the “gym” lifestyle. After another seven months of working out, I was down another fifty-eight pounds, tallying my total weight loss at one hundred and twelve pounds. This had me at one hundred and seventy pounds, with my original weight being two hundred and eighty-two pounds. I was really feeling good about myself! I was a stronger lifter and running longer. But even then I did not realize that there is always room to grow. I was happy and content with where I was and nothing could change that. After a full year of being thin and “in shape”, I started to wonder why I was not getting any bigger or any stronger, so again I went back to the books and started learning about programs, and constantly changing them to train the body to adapt. At the same time, I was also noticing others in the gym possibly doing things incorrectly or just down right did not know where to even begin and I wanted to help, but did not want to over step my boundaries. This is when I discovered the International Sports Science Association (ISSA) and decided to get my certification in Personal Training. I was finally able to help people while also helping myself and learning various new strategies to help myself as well as others around me! Personally, I put on twenty pounds of pure lean muscle and am not one hundred and ninety pounds now knowing that proper programming and nutrition timing is key! On February 12th, 2016, I enrolled to become a Specialist in Fitness Nutrition, because yet again I realized there was more I can do to help myself and others. After successfully completing this course, I have decided that I am going to start helping others with exercise and nutrition. With the knowledge I have gained I am confident that I can help someone like you reach your goals, and I am willing to reach those goals with you every step of the way!

Big shoutout to another one of my sponsors, Sara from 🙌🏼🔥

Seriously… the level of detail, creativity, and passion she puts into her work is NEXT LEVEL. You can tell everything she creates isn’t just a product, it’s something she genuinely cares about and takes pride in. From the designs to the quality, she absolutely crushes it every time 💯

I’m beyond grateful to have her in my corner as a sponsor for my show THIS Saturday. Having support like this means more than people realize, especially during prep when everything is locked in and focused. If you’re not already checking out her work Or If you are needing some apparel done yourself, reach out to her & show her some love!! Support a small business that’s doing BIG things 👏🏼🫶🏼

Grateful is an understatement…

Huge shoutout to / for continuing to support me through this prep and into show day. 🤝🏽

Not all brands are built the same and Dechire is a perfect example of what it means to combine quality, intention, and identity into every piece they put out. From the fit… to the feel… to the way it carries into your training, this isn’t just clothing, it’s something you represent when you put it on 🫶🏼

And honestly… the anime designs? Next level. 🔥🔥 That perfect mix of style and edge that stands out without trying too hard. RTB — Ripped. Torn. Broken.That mindset alone says everything about the standard. As an athlete with Dechire deep in prep, having gear that moves with you, holds up through the grind, and still looks clean doing it matters more than people think.

Proud to be backed by a brand that stands for something bigger than just apparel. We’re just getting started. Follow them for all your top notch designs 🔥

As I get closer to show day this Saturday for the Natural Ohio Championships, I wanted to take a second to highlight and the role they’ve played throughout my entire prep 🙏🏼🫶🏼

This isn’t just about stepping on stage, it’s about everything leading up to it. The early mornings, long days, and staying consistent when it would be easy not to. From the unboxing to putting these to use during some of the busiest parts of prep, this is what real support looks like behind the scenes.

Having something convenient, reliable, and aligned with my goals, with solid protein, balanced macros, and something I can grab on the go has made all the difference when it matters most.

Grateful to have MET-Rx in my corner through this entire process. Now it’s time to bring it all together. I’m Locked in for Saturday 💪🏼🔥

This prep has been the best I’ve ever experienced, physically, mentally, and in the way I’ve been able to show up in every area of my life, not just bodybuilding…

And while stepping on stage is an individual act… getting there at your absolute best is never done alone. I’m proud to officially acknowledge the brands that have supported me, believed in me, and stood behind me throughout this entire journey 👇🏼

🔥 Slay at Home Mom Design

- This is more than a sponsor, this is my foundation. The brand behind PhillipsPhitness, built with intention, purpose, and a message that goes far beyond aesthetics. Every piece represents the discipline, consistency, and lifestyle we live day in and day out. To carry that into prep and onto stage means everything.

🔥 Dechire Lifestyle

- Showing up as an athlete isn’t just about how you perform, it’s how you present yourself. Dechire & The Tribe has been with me through the grind, providing gear that matches the work. The quality, the fit, the confidence. It all plays a role, and they’ve delivered every step of the way.

🔥 MET-Rx

- Prep is demanding. There’s no way around it. Having MET-Rx in my corner has given me consistency when things get tough… Fueling long days, hard training sessions, and everything in between. When your body is pushed to its limits, having reliable nutrition matters.

🔥 Sweet Abe’s Bake Shop

- And when it’s all said and done… we celebrate 😏
Sweet Abe’s has been part of my circle for a long time, and having them create custom post-show treats (Sneak Peak Soon) for this moment is something I’m truly looking forward to. Because moments like that are earned.

🫶🏼 Honorable Mention: ActiveLife Sports Massage

- None of this happens if the body breaks down. Active Life has helped keep me moving, performing, and staying healthy through the intensity of prep. It’s one thing to look ready it’s another to actually be ready.

I don’t take this support lightly. To have people and brands behind me who believe in what I’m building… it pushes me to show up at a higher level every single day.

This has been my best prep yet. And we’re bringing that version to the stage! Let’s finish this. 💪🏼🔥

Good Morning Fam & Happy Thursday! We are officially 9 days out 🙌🏼

This will be my last physique update before show day!!

I can honestly say this has been my best prep yet.
Not just how I look but how I’ve felt through the entire process. More balance, more structure, and a whole lot more confidence in what I’m doing. That didn’t happen by accident. I’m grateful for the process, the lessons, and how everything has come together. Now it’s time to lock in and execute. 😈

Next time you see me… it’ll be on stage 🏆

Sponsor update coming soon 🙏🏼🙌🏼

🚨 LADIES PLEASE READ 🚨

April Fools 😅🫶🏼🧡 (Sorry I Had To)

But seriously there is still this misconception that lifting weights will make women “too bulky”… and it’s just not how physiology works. Building significant muscle mass requires a very specific combination of high training volume, years of consistency, and a hormonal environment that most women simply do not have naturally. What strength training actually does for women is far more valuable.

It helps increase lean muscle tissue, which supports a higher metabolic rate and improves overall body composition. It plays a major role in bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis long-term. It also improves insulin sensitivity, energy levels, and overall strength for everyday life. Beyond the physical benefits, there’s a mental shift that comes with getting stronger too like more confidence, more resilience, and a better relationship with your body.

The goal isn’t to get “bulky.” The goal is to build a body that’s strong, capable, and sustainable for life. Don’t let outdated myths keep you from doing something that can genuinely change your health

Same person.
Three different phases.
Three very different outcomes.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know…
I didn’t start like this.

*The second photo is AI-generated BUT it represents a reality a lot of people are chasing right now:

A smaller body… without building it. And listen—GLP-1s have their place. For some people, they can be life-changing. But we need to be honest about something…

There’s a difference between
needing a medical intervention…
and skipping the fundamentals.

Because when the only goal is to eat less and drop weight, you don’t just lose body fat, you risk losing muscle, shape & most importantly strength.

I didn’t just want to weigh less. I wanted to build something. That took structure, training with intent &
Learning how to fuel my body.

No shortcuts, just habits that last. If your goal is just a lower number on the scale, there are tools for that. BUT if your goal is to actually build your physique… you’ve got to train for it.

Sustainable > temporary. Always…
You don’t need another shortcut, you need a plan you’ll actually follow. If you’re done starting over then let’s work 💪🏼
