Hey there!

I'M JONATHAN.

As someone with Bipolar 1, I get it. I get how debilitating it can be when one half of you wants to tap into untapped potential, yet the other half is holding you back. I also get that intense craving to do and be more during this fleeting thing called life but have no clue where to even begin.

I get all of this because I was once a person trapped in that strange limbo state. Call it a mental storm…call it fear… call it blinded from being able to separate my internal worth from external situations. But you know what? BP1 may always be a part of me, but I am not that person who allows mental illness to dictate my life anymore…and you don’t have to be either.

‘What You Feel You Attract. What You Think You Create. What You Imagine You Become.’

If you're having a hard time seeing your own power, resilience, drive, and strength, then let's chat. Because aside from being BP1, I am also a multi-certified professional who is passionate about helping others excel both physically and mentally. To date, I am a NSCA Certified Personal Trainer and Depression Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) group peer facilitator. I am also set to graduate from the University of Nevada-Reno with a B.S. in Public Health in May 2023. I have spent most of my career working in the fitness and coaching spaces – such as a Certified Personal Trainer, Physical Therapy Technician, Coaching Youth Basketball Camps, and working in Collegiate Athletics as a Student Manager for 4 Years for the University of Nevada Men’s Basketball Team.

Intertwining this exploration of health together via lived experience and academia, has ultimately rendered me a dynamic coach dedicated to becoming the person that I wished I had during my darkest days. Overall, I’m not here to place you on a fitness conveyor belt and hope for the best; I’m here to be your peer support, a coach who tailors to your needs, your mentor who keeps you going, and a friend… all with the goal of helping you unravel the mental fog and take actionable steps towards developing a whole new reality for yourself. In short, I’m here to help you help yourself, because you deserve that.

My Final Message To You

From nutritional support, fitness guidance, to supporting a healthy mindset, my initiative as your coach boils down to one core notion: to empower you to create the life you desire. In the end, no matter where your starting point is, I want you to know that you do have the power to change and cultivate the healthy, fulfilled life you have always envisioned for yourself. Sometimes all it takes is connecting with a certified professional who's been in your shoes, sees your growth potential, and values your success just as much as you do - to finally begin recognizing that.
