About My Performance Path

Coaching Built From a Lived Transformation

My Performance Path didn't begin with a business plan. It began with a dire medical diagnosis — and a number that stopped our founder cold.

The Founder’s Story

From a Biological Age of 70 to 25

At 62 years old, he was carrying 40% body fat, and a biological-age assessment put his body at roughly 70 — nearly a decade older than his birthday. He had spent years being told this was simply what getting older looked like: slower, heavier, weaker, and resigned to it.

He decided not to accept it. What followed wasn’t a crash diet or a boot camp. It was a patient, deliberate system built on three things: strength training that rebuilt his muscle and metabolism, conditioning that restored his capacity and energy, and precision nutrition that fueled the whole process instead of starving it. Over time, the numbers moved in the only direction that matters. He lost 60 pounds. His body fat fell from 40% to 12%. And his biological age dropped from 70 to 25 — a 45-year reversal on the clock that actually counts.

That experience became the blueprint. Everything we coach at My Performance Path is drawn from a path our founder walked first, on his own body, with no shortcuts and no guarantees. It’s why we don’t sell you a membership and disappear. We coach you and help you create the exact system that gave one man his life back — refined, personalized, and delivered by a team that understands how much is on the line.

Credentials

Belief Isn’t Enough — Competence Has to Back It Up

Our coaches are NASM-Certified Personal Trainers with roughly a decade of hands-on experience across every training modality we offer, including nutrition. That range matters, because the person recovering from a knee issue, the executive with ninety minutes a week, and the client protecting muscle on a GLP-1 medication all need different plans built on the same rigorous foundation.

Our Philosophy

Strength Is the Most Under-Prescribed Intervention in Modern Health

It protects your bones, your metabolism, your independence, and your ability to do the things that make life worth living. We believe a plan should be built for one person — you — not pulled off a shelf. We believe in measuring what matters, so progress is proven rather than promised. And we believe coaching is a relationship, not a transaction: we hold you to a standard because we’re genuinely invested in where you end up.

The Studio

The Shred Shed

We coach out of The Shred Shed, our private studio serving the Naples and Collier County area. There are no crowds, no waiting for equipment, and no one watching. It’s a focused, judgment-free environment built for people who want real coaching — not a monthly charge and a key fob. When you train here, the space is yours and the attention is undivided.

“To help the people of Southwest Florida build stronger, healthier, longer lives through coaching that is personal, evidence-based, and proven — starting with the belief that no one is too old, too busy, or too far gone to begin.”

The Team

The People in Your Corner

Behind My Performance Path is a small team of NASM-certified coaches who chose this work because they’ve seen what strength does for people — physically and otherwise. You’ll know your coach by name, and they’ll know your history, your goals, and the reason you started. That continuity is the point.
