About Charles
We've all experienced those moments – seminal events that initially appeared minor and matter-of-fact, yet later revealed themselves to be life-changing. For me, it was my decision to start working out in college. The reason was simple - I wanted a better physique and to be in better shape.
What started as a superficial reason unlocked something deeper. Working out not only helped me look better, but also feel better - physically and emotionally. Furthermore, each challenge I faced in the gym better equipped me to handle the stresses and demands outside its walls. Fitness became a lifestyle staple for me, regardless of how busy I was in business school, as a management consultant racking up countless airline miles, or as an executive at high tech corporations and startups.
That’s why I utilize my skills as a certified personal trainer and as an amateur powerlifter to help train busy professionals - specializing in strength training and general conditioning.
My philosophy is all about microdosing “crucibles” in our everyday life in the form of fitness - so you can become stronger, fitter, and more confident! Hence the name Crucible Fitness - crucible referring to a significant challenge which is typically a catalyst for transforming or creating something new.
In my spare time my non-gym rat activities include traveling, enjoying the outdoors, video games, and trying out new restaurants.
