I am a Tampa personal trainer, thinker, and geek.

In addition to that, I am a competitive powerlifter and submission grappler.

I train and write about the totality of training both myself and others. I am available for consultation for fat loss and strength training. May the Force be with you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me.

Oh yeah, here are some people I have had the pleasure to work with.

MY CLIENTS

LAYNE

Peter was extremely helpful to me while I was preparing for IPF World Championships by helping me rehab my back showing me a series of exercises that I conducted daily in order to improve my lower back pain.

Slowly but surely the pain receded over the 6 weeks leading up to worlds and I was able to be at my best on meet day and set the current 93kg IPF world record squat of 303 kg (668 lbs) and silver medal overall with a 798 kg (1757 lb) total.

If it wasn’t for rehab help from Peter, I would not even been able to compete.

ABBY

On a whim, I signed up for Tough Mudder with some coworkers. I knew I wasn’t ready, but at the time I had about 8 weeks to train and decided that was good enough.

Two weeks later, when I realized I hadn’t trained at all, I started panic … That’s when Peter Baker came to the rescue with excellent advice that kept me motivated and helped me avoid injury: Keep it easy.

Then the big day came, and it was fine. I survived a 12-mile, 24-obstacle Tough Mudder — my greatest physical accomplishment to date — and I had fun doing it.

Peter helped me deadlift twice my bodyweight off the floor.

I also won a best lifter award for doing so in a competition.
