Black Creek Coaching

Remember when moving through the woods felt steady and natural?

Maybe it’s been a while. Life fills up. Work, family, and those small aches you’ve been meaning to address start to add up.

Or maybe you’re just getting started and unsure of your limits.

Either way, there’s a gap between where you are and where you want to be.

That’s where we start.

At Black Creek Coaching, I offer personalized online fitness coaching designed around your lifestyle — not the other way around. I help busy adults build strength, resilience, and confidence through programs that focus on movement quality, consistency, and getting outdoors.

The Gap

You’re not lazy.

You’re not unmotivated.

You just don’t have a clear plan to move from here to there.

Most fitness programs skip this part. They’re built for people who already feel strong,confident, and comfortable in gym culture. They don’t account for the reality of a desk job and stiff hips that keep you from moving without pain.

I help you close that gap.

A Bridge, Not a Boot Camp

No yelling. No “embrace the grind.” No generic programs.

The is practical training for real life outdoors (or wherever else you want to spend more of your time).

I Understand the Demands

Hiking steep terrain with weight. Sitting motionless in cold weather. Navigating uneven ground in low light.

And I understand tight hips, back pain, long workdays, and bodies that need rebuilding.

You don’t need to look like a fitness influencer. You need to feel capable where it counts.

That’s what we train for.

This Might Be For You If You:

Want Back In

You remember when your body wasn’t the limiting factor.

Life moved fast. Years passed.

Now you want to return — without injury, without weeks of recovery, without guessing.

That’s what we build toward.

Are Ready for More

You’ve done some day hikes. You want longer trails.
You’re curious about hunting but unsure if you’re prepared.
You want to feel capable outdoors.

You don’t need extreme training.
You need steady progression.

Are an Active Parent

Outdoor life doesn’t end when life changes — it adapts.

With pre- and postnatal training experience, I help you stay strong through every chapter so you can keep exploring with your family.

What People Say about working together

Like many people who actively go to the gym, I had high school (beginner) knowledge of my weightlifting and cardio training. Because we don’t actually learn how to correctly lift and customize workout plans for our individual needs, we end up overworking our bodies later on in life. That’s exactly what happened to me. Hugh has helped me and my husband rethink our concepts of fitness in a positive way, with kind, patient, and gentle perspective re-framing; “Your goals are important, so come to the gym with intention. What do you want from your workouts?”

For me, I had always equated more weight on the bar, or more intensity in the workout to weight loss. But after identifying a couple medical issues this year, Hugh has helped me tailor my workouts to help provide a balance between muscle building and preventing my medical issues from flaring. For my husband, his goals were different. Hugh has taught him how to effectively bench press to be able to maximize his press potential.

Hugh is a skilled, kind, knowledgeable, and patient coach! If you are wanting to have a positive relationship with your body, I highly recommend him!

I had the pleasure of training with Hugh, and I can confidently say that his expertise and guidance have taken my training to the next level. With his help, I was able to do the key lifts of kettlebell such as the snatch, and my overall strength and technique have improved significantly. Hugh’s teaching style is clear, concise, and effective, and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their strength and fitness.

Hugh is a great instructor, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced athlete. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable and able to tailor instruction to his client. He creates a judgment-free training environment aimed at helping the client to feel comfortable and able to have a say in their training while also being challenging. He’s very good at providing instruction regarding technique and focuses on solid and sustainable fundamentals. I found him to be friendly, professional, responsive and able to provide additional resources to help me in my fitness journey. And he continually checked in with me to make sure he was helping me continue to work toward my fitness goals. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

A Johnson
Hugh is a fantastic instructor. He takes the time to listen and does a great job simplifying complex kettlebell movements. Hugh is an expert, but he knows how to break things down into easily understandable segments for beginners like me.
I would highly recommend Hugh if you want some great one-on-one kettle bell instruction!!

Ready to get back outside?

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be in perfect shape to start. You just need to be willing to have an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

If you’re tired of your body being the barrier between you and the outdoor activities you love, let’s talk. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a real conversation about whether this approach makes sense for you.
