ABOUT
I'm Sam. Coach, husband, proud dad of three.
I've spent 15 years helping parents get strong. These days I'm living it too: diapers, daycare runs and squeezing in my own workouts like everyone else.

MY STORY
I coached parents for a decade.
Then I became one.
I'm Sam: husband to Kinsey, dad to three girls, and owner of Tribe Fitness in northern Colorado, where I coach parents 1:1. My path started with a kinesiology degree from San Diego State and a master's in applied exercise science, and 15 years and 13,000+ sessions later, teaching people how to move well is still my favorite part of the job.
I coached parents for over a decade before I became one myself. And let me tell you… I get it now. Between the diapers, appointments, sleepless nights and nonstop demands of family life, carving out 45 minutes to sweat feels impossible some days. I've lived it. I'm still living it.
I still train six days a week, mixing functional strength and conditioning. The difference now is that every minute has to count, and that's exactly how I program for you.
If it came down to it, we'd all die for our kids. But are you strong enough to live for them? Strong enough to prioritize your health, your capacity and your longevity, so you can show up with energy every single day?
You'd die for your kids. Are you strong enough to live for them?
That's why I created the Strong Parent Collective: To give busy parents practical, effective tools to build strength, boost energy and lead by example. Through education, smart programming, community and a focus on progress over perfection, I'm here to help you become the strongest version of yourself, for you and for your family.
