ABOUT THE COACH
Hi, I’m Damian, a husband, dad, and the Founder and Head Coach of Fit Fundamentals. I’m passionate about helping people live stronger, healthier lives. I’ve been coaching since 2017, and I graduated with honors from the Fitness Institute International. I also hold the Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) credential through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, from complete beginners to seasoned athletes. What I’ve learned is that success comes from more than just workouts, it’s about creating sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle. As someone who values quality family time, I understand the challenges of balancing health with real life, and I bring that perspective into every coaching relationship.
I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and make them feel understood and supported. My goal is simple: to give you a clear plan, consistent accountability, and the confidence to keep progressing for the long run.
At Fit Fundamentals, you’ll get more than a trainer, you’ll get a partner who’s invested in your success both inside and outside the gym.
