Through assessing movement, he gains insight into a client’s abilities and limitations, allowing for a tailored session to maximize their goals while ensuring safety and well-being. Education forms a fundamental part of his teaching, as he strives to empower clients with knowledge about their bodies and the purpose behind each exercise. This not only motivates them to actively participate in their fitness journey but also fosters a deeper understanding of their physical capabilities.

Damien has been a lifelong fan of the fitness industry. Growing up playing all the major sports, practicing martial arts, working as a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym, and teaching Les Mills classes, he has gained a holistic view of what movement looks like across various modalities. His exposure to Pilates came during his time at Gold’s Gym, but it wasn’t until years later that he was able to pursue his NCPT certification.

As a movement coach, Damien views his role as not only guiding clients through exercises but also acting as a positive role model. Encouraging self-acceptance and self-care, he creates a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, regardless of their background or abilities. Damien is committed to staying adaptable and progressive by incorporating contemporary practices that continue to support the fundamentals of scientific literature on human movement.

Outside of the Pilates/Fitness world, you’ll find Damien spending time with his wife, Anna, daughter, Sydney, and extended family. There is always some DIY project around the corner or a beach somewhere.
