Cody’s coaching philosophy is simple: you should be able to do the things you want to do for as long as you want to do them. His approach to training focuses on building strength, resilience, and durability so that athletes and everyday individuals can continue pursuing the activities they love for years to come.

​

As an athlete, Cody experienced firsthand the setbacks that injuries can bring. Navigating those challenges shaped the way he approaches training today—placing a strong emphasis on movement quality, smart progression, and long-term health. What began as a personal journey to overcome injury eventually led Cody to compete at the highest level of endurance sport as a professional triathlete.

​

Before pursuing coaching full time, Cody originally planned to become a physical therapist. During that time, he gained hands-on clinical experience working as a Physical Therapy Assistant, where he developed a deeper understanding of rehabilitation, biomechanics, and injury prevention. He also spent time shadowing an Olympic Strength and Conditioning Coach for Team USA Triathlon, further expanding his knowledge of high-performance training and athlete development.

​

Today, Cody combines his background in rehabilitation, endurance sport, and strength training to help clients train smarter and perform better. With over a decade of experience in the field, he has worked with individuals ranging from those recovering from injury to endurance athletes preparing for events like marathons and ultramarathons.

​

Cody holds certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC). Through Align Strength Endurance Training, his goal is to help people build the strength, endurance, and confidence needed to continue doing the things they love—both inside and outside the gym.
