Peter didn’t begin his fitness journey as an athlete. In fact, his only early experience with physical activity came from playing the tuba in marching band. Today, he is a NASM certified personal trainer who specializes in mobility, beginner strength training, and building a healthier mindset around fitness. His approach focuses on helping clients build strength that supports everyday life while developing confidence and consistency.

Before fully pursuing fitness, Peter taught preschool in China, an experience that shaped his patient and encouraging coaching style. He believes everyone deserves to feel like they belong in fitness spaces and works to create an environment where clients never feel judged, rushed, or out of place. His goal is to help people discover strength they didn’t know they had while reminding them they only need to prove something to themselves.

Peter also leads Sol Mates, a local Uptown running club focused on accessibility, inclusivity, and community building, creating a welcoming space where people of all experience levels can move, connect, and grow together.
