Questions

How do I know these courses are worth the money?

close icon

I’ve always believed the best thing to invest in is yourself. I work hard to design my courses to be easy to learn from, but to last a lifetime. The knowledge I teach isn’t supposed to be thrown away after the course is completed, but to stick with you forever and improve your life in the long term. I receive regular testimonials that confirm these courses deliver amazing results. That’s why I believe in them so much.

Why do I need an online course to become stronger or more skilled?

close icon

Ask any successful person and they’ll tell you the same thing. In life, you get out exactly what you put in. My courses are for people who are serious about becoming the best version of themselves, because I’m confident they give people real results. If you put average effort into your strength and skills, you’ll get average results. If you continuously seek out knowledge and learn from experts, you won’t believe how good you can get!

If I buy a course, does it last forever?

close icon

For sure. It’s yours to keep, and you can return to it any time you want to learn and develop. I design courses to help you all the way through your journey.

Will the knowledge in your courses go out of date?

close icon

The techniques and exercises you learn in my courses are the exact same ones I’ve used to compete around the world and build my own body. I’ve used them for over 16 years. Using this knowledge, I design my courses to be valuable forever, and to never go out of date. The skills and knowledge you’ll learn will serve you for life. No snake oil, no cheap tricks, and no bullsh**.

Why should we learn from you?

A: Good question. The internet is full of low-quality courses from snake oil salesmen, so you should check the credentials of anyone before deciding to trust them. You can learn about my martial arts and strength training journey here.
