I’m here to help anyone and everyone feel better, be more confident, and live a healthy lifestyle. From zero experience, to competitors, I can help you see and feel results! My experience includes working with many disabilities, all ages, post injury, and pre-op. I can work with you in-person locally, and online remotely! This includes nutritional guidance! A little about myself, I compete in strongman competitions and even got invited to Ireland for the Natural World’s Strongest Man. I hope to improve my strength to get invited back and improve my placement. Also, I recently set out on my own to train clients, so my availability is easy to work with and there aren’t sales quotas to get bombarded with.

I like to focus on building muscle around the weak points of the client, and/or create muscular balance. Once we have started to build lean muscle tissue, burning fat becomes much easier, and it;s easier to keep off.

We start by priming the area we will be targeting for the session. Then, we will usually do a couple compound movements in multiple planes of motion, followed by some isolation exercises and/or higher intensity with less rest periods.

I started my fitness journey at the end of May 2025. I took advantage of two free trainer sessions. I was incredibly lucky to have been given Chip Propp. I had my doubts about my capability, mostly because of balance issues and my age (66), Chip had an arsenal of modified versions so I would be able to accomplish my goals. He clearly has a vast knowledge of the human body and all the muscles and what they can do, so he continually came up with exercise plans that would work with my needs and an eating plan as well. Chip was very supportive and would push me where he knew I needed it! In 4 months I was able to lose 40 pounds and over 20 inches overall. He encouraged me to join my first fitness challenge where I won in two categories, along with no longer needing insulin, blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds! Chip is a phenomenal fitness trainer, and an amazing person. I know it took my hard work and consistency, but there is no way I could have been as successful without the support and expertise of Chip!! Thank you so much for your support and pushing me where I needed it! Donna Bowman
