Hey there, welcome!

I’m Corey Shader, a strength and conditioning coach based in Portland—and I’m really glad you’re here. Whether you’re just starting out on your fitness journey or you’ve been training for years, this blog is all about making fitness simple, sustainable, and effective.

I believe in showing up, putting in the work, and focusing on progress over perfection. You won’t find gimmicks or shortcuts here—just real strategies, real talk, and the kind of consistency that builds long-term results.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s train smart, recover well, and keep getting better—one step, one rep, and one small win at a time.

Stay strong,
Corey
