Welcome to Happy Dude Fitness
Sustainable Evidence Based Health Coaching
Hey, I’m Thurmond
and I’ve been helping people just like you build sustainable and enjoyable fitness programs for over a decade. I created this space to provide an easy and accessible on-ramp into health and fitness so everyone can enjoy the immense benefits of exercise.
The benefits of exercise compound the longer we stick with it. It’s my job to help you build a sustainable exercise program that fits into your busy life.

Health Educator
Navigating health science information can be difficult and confusing. Social media has made so much information (and misinformation) available that many people don’t know what to believe and where to start.
My job is to review the scientific literature and give that knowledge to you in an accessible and appropriate way. Together we will use trusted research to guide us in co-creating a personalized program that fits into your life.
Accountability Partner
Health improvement is achieved by consistent actions, not by fad diets, juice cleanse, or 14 day challenges. The benefits of exercise increase the longer you stick with it. I’m here to help you build exercise into a life-long habit. There will be ups and downs along the way, but it’s my job to make the journey as successful and enjoyable as possible.

SERVICES
Exercise Programing
Any exercise program is only as good as you can stick to it. Together we’ll co-create one that will fit your goal, ability, and lifestyle. And this one will stick!
Nutrition Coaching
Proper nutrition is key to achieving any fitness goal, but some coaches take things overboard. I believe in a non-restrictive and flexible approach to dieting that makes room for all your favorite foods.
Health Education
I get it, the fitness information out there can be very confusing. My job is to guide you through the confusion and give you evidence based information that is applicable to your goals.
Real Life Integration
I give special attention to make sure the program will fit in your life. My goal is to create lifelong exercisers without having to sacrifice time away from the people and things you love.
