I help bariatric surgery and GLP-1 patients build the exercise habits, mindset, and systems that make weight loss stick — long after the clinical support ends.
Your surgical team was great at getting you through the operation. Your dietitian gave you a food list. But somewhere around month 6, the appointments space out, the initial motivation fades, and you're left staring at a gym you've never set foot in, wondering what the hell to do next.
The weight loss slows down. Old habits start creeping back. And the advice you find online is either too generic, contradictory, or comes from someone whose only qualification is having had the same surgery you did.
That gap between clinical care ending and actually building a sustainable life? That's where most people get stuck. And that's exactly where I work.
You're a few months post-op and you know you should be doing more, but you don't know where to start. The gym feels intimidating. You're following the rules but the scale has stalled.
You're on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. The weight is coming off, but you know you need to build exercise habits and strength — especially if you ever come off the medication.
You've read everything online and somehow know less than when you started. The advice is contradictory, works for someone else but not you, or lacks any real specifics.
If any of that landed, you're exactly who I help.
In 12 years of coaching bariatric patients, I've watched hundreds of people navigate the same predictable pitfalls. I know what works at month 3 versus month 9. I know why the advice that helped your surgery buddy might be making things worse for you.
I combine certified personal training with bariatric mindset coaching because the head and the body are not separate problems. They're the same problem, and they need to be addressed together.
I'm also not going to give you a rah-rah motivational speech. Motivation is what got you to the operating table. What keeps you healthy at month 8 and year 3 is systems — habits that work even when you don't feel like it. That's what we build together.

Exercise was a cuss word to me before my weight loss surgery. What attracted me was the private gym setting. I knew I wouldn't be judged or intimidated. This, along with Geof's encouragement and knowledge, has made exercise a non-negotiable part of my life — and it's paid off in more ways than I could have imagined.
I was tired of my weight but I had no clue what to do to change that. I found Coaching for Bariatric Success. I was a bit intimidated to start exercising, but I took a leap of faith. Working with Geof, in 12 months I lost over 50 pounds AND found a new hobby: powerlifting.
One of my goals after my bariatric surgery was to hike one of the 14,000-foot peaks here in Colorado. One year after surgery and 9 months working with Coaching for Bariatric Success, I achieved that goal. After that, I know I can do anything.
.jI knew that after my bariatric surgery I would need to exercise, but I didn't really know what to do. Geof set up an online training program I could stick with, and his frequent check-ins kept me going. Now it's the core part of building a healthier life.
I've been coaching bariatric surgery patients for over 12 years. I'm a certified personal trainer and bariatric mindset coach, and I wrote the book (literally) on navigating life after weight loss surgery.
I got into this work because I saw the same thing happening over and over: people would go through a life-changing surgery, get great clinical support for a few months, and then get dropped into the deep end with no one to help them swim. So I became that person.
I'm nerdy about the research, direct when you need it, and I'll meet you where you are — not where Instagram thinks you should be.
