About Ardell

Seven Years Under The Bar, And In Your Corner

With seven years of experience as a personal trainer, I specialize in powerlifting, and I have a real passion for coaching athletes to reach their fullest potential. As a competitive lifter myself, I hold multiple state records and have guided athletes to their own state and national records.

I'm certified in Corrective Exercise, Pain-Free Performance, US Olympic Lifting, and Barbell Rehab Method. Strength should be built on safe, sound movement first.

Questions

Good To Know

No. During your strategy call we build the program around whatever you have: a commercial gym, a garage setup, or minimal equipment. The plan fits your reality.
Absolutely. A large part of my coaching is teaching safe, confident movement from day one. Beginners and seasoned competitors both get a plan built for their level.
A PDF program is a proven, ready-to-run template. 1-on-1 coaching is fully custom and adapts every week based on your videos, recovery, and life, plus direct access to me.
100%. Youth sessions are age-appropriate, supervised, and focused on movement quality and confidence, never maxing out. Parents are always welcome to watch.
Yes. Coaching is month-to-month. Stay because it's working, not because you're locked into a contract.
