Hey there, I’m Eric.

At Syllabus Health, I take a highly individualized, evidence-based approach to coaching that combines fitness, nutrition, recovery, and behavior change to help people build sustainable health that fits their real life. Rather than relying on extremes or one-size-fits-all plans, the focus is on creating practical systems that improve how you feel, perform, and function long term, both physically and mentally. As a certified personal trainer and functional health coach with a background in psychology, I blend strength and conditioning with functional nutrition and behavior change psychology to create a truly personalized, sustainable health practice for each client.

Lead with care

Coaching is built on trust, empathy, and meeting you with zero judgment.

Focus on what lasts

We build sustainable habits — not quick fixes — that support you long term.

Adapt to real life

Plans shift with your schedule, energy, and needs — not the other way around.

My story

I didn’t get into health coaching because I loved the gym or had it all figured out from day one. I got into it because I saw how many people, myself included, were stuck in cycles of all-or-nothing fitness. Intense routines followed by burnout. Diets that worked for a few weeks, then backfired. I watched friends, clients, and even myself chase short-term goals, thinking that hitting a number on the scale or getting six-pack abs would finally unlock lasting confidence or health. It never did.

What actually changed things for me was realizing that true health isn’t about intensity, it’s about consistency. It’s about building a foundation you can live with, not escape from. Once I started learning the science behind behavior change, functional nutrition, and strength training, I began to see health not as a finish line, but as a lifelong practice. That’s the lens I bring to every client I work with: no quick fixes, no shame-based coaching, just sustainable progress built around your real life. Because your health should support your life, not take it over.

Let’s talk
