Coach Bernard — One Percent Better Forever

Coach Bernard’s coaching journey began around age 19 or 20, when he realized a path focused on money wouldn’t necessarily bring him happiness. While pursuing an IT-related degree, he began working out on his own with limited guidance. That curiosity led him to switch majors to Health and Human Performance and dive into hands-on learning. About a year into his studies, he landed an internship at a small gym, which soon became a paid position as the gym grew and evolved under different owners, names, and training methods.

What never changed through all the changes is Bernard’s core mission: to help people. He discovered his true passion in seeing clients succeed and in guiding them to real, tangible wins—no matter how small. Today, Bernard thrives on working with anyone who shares a commitment to continuous improvement and the discipline to get 1% better every day.

Coaching Philosophy
People-first approach: Bernard believes meaningful progress comes from understanding each client’s goals, strengths, and daily realities.
Small, consistent gains: He focuses on sustainable improvements—minute, daily steps that compound over time.
Evidence-based, adaptable methods: Bernard blends his deep knowledge of Human Performance with practical training strategies that adapt to individual needs.

If you’re ready to train with someone who celebrates every milestone and pushes you toward a stronger, healthier version of yourself—one percent at a time—Coach Bernard is here to guide you every step of the way.

Coach Carson — One Percent Better Forever

*CARSON PIC*

I became a personal trainer in my 40s—a leap that felt scary yet deeply meaningful. I’m passionate about exercise because movement consistently boosts my mood, builds my strength, and reinforces confidence in both body and mind. I want to share that gift with others, helping them feel the same benefits.

Growing up, I was surrounded by role models who valued strength and took great care of their bodies. Their example showed me early on how important it is to prioritize health and movement throughout life.

For me, exercise isn’t just physical activity—it’s medicine for the mind and body and a key to living a long, healthy life. My mission is to help people feel better in their bodies and in their everyday lives.

Whether you’re just starting out or returning to fitness, I’m here to help—because it’s never too late to move well, feel strong, and thrive.

Coaching Philosophy

People-first, results-driven: I focus on your goals, daily realities, and how you want to feel, not just what you want to achieve.

Movement as a habit: Small, sustainable improvements compound over time to create lasting change.

Mind-body connection: I blend strength training, mobility, and mindset strategies to support overall well-being.

Adaptable, evidence-informed: Training plans are tailored to you and adjust as you progress, and your life evolves.

If you’re ready to train with someone who meets you where you are and helps you become stronger—physically and mentally—one percent at a time, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

 

Coach Walker — One Percent Better Forever

About Me
My coaching journey began in 2022 after realizing in 2021 that exercise and self-improvement had transformed my life. I knew I couldn’t stay in my sales role’s comfort zone if I wanted to feel truly fulfilled. Coaching is my gift and service to the world, and I absolutely love it.

In 2020 I hit a rock-bottom moment, overwhelmed by grief, sadness, and anger. Some days felt like a battle I didn’t know how to win. I clung to the mindset of taking one step at a time and striving to be better than yesterday, and that mentality has carried me to where I am today—grateful and proud of the work I’ve done.

With that mindset, my fiancée Emily and I trained clients together from a private facility from 2022 to 2025. We loved making a real impact and transforming lives there. In 2025, when Coach Dana sold Vital Motions, we embraced a new chapter: Our vision, One Percent Better Forever, began and officially launched on May 1, 2025.

Today we’re excited to continue this movement—helping people connect with a simple, powerful philosophy: one step at a time, enjoy the journey, be better than yesterday, and serve others along the way.

Coaching Philosophy
One step at a time: Sustainable progress happens through consistent, small gains.
Service-forward: Your goals are supported by a genuine commitment to helping you live better every day.
Holistic mindset: Training blends strength, mobility, and mindset to improve daily function and confidence.
Purposeful adaptability: Plans are tailored to your life, evolving as you grow and as circumstances change.

If you’re ready to move with intention, build lasting habits, and join a community that values growth, resilience, and service—one percent better every day—Coach Walker is here to guide you every step of the way.
