Coach Beau first discovered his passion for strength and conditioning in the US Army, where strength and physical preparation were a daily standard. He later refined his discipline for advanced physique crafting while working as a private contractor supporting SF and NSW teams throughout Afghanistan. In 2017, he resigned from contract work and founded American Muscle & Fitness, where he now works as a physique, strength, and nutrition coach and as a professional bodybuilding coach specializing in NPC Fit Model, Bikini, and Wellness divisions under his contest prep team, #TeamBeau. His coaching is direct, disciplined, and built around strict nutrition, training, and lifestyle protocols.
Since 2017, American Muscle & Fitness has worked with competitive bodybuilders, elite high school and collegiate athletes, and goal-oriented lifestyle clients looking to dramatically transform their physique. Our focus is developing strength, hypertrophy, and achieving and sustaining low body fat while optimizing physical and hormonal health for peak performance through comprehensive programming, frequent evaluation, and accountable execution.
Coach Beau sets high expectations for his team and demands precision adherence, but the consistent results speak for themselves, and there is a clear reward for those with the discipline and drive to meet the standard.
