Our Team of Coaches
Meet Coach Cody
What started as a way to get fit for baseball tryouts in high school, ended in a life long passion for pushing myself to be the best endurance athlete I can be. Fast forward 20 years and I’m still striving to meet new challenges as a runner and a triathlete. I was a Division 1 track and cross country athlete for the University of Charlotte NC and I’ve raced competitively since 2006. I have a broad background as an athlete, wining or finishing in the top 10 of everything from 5k, to obstacle course races, and now triathlons.
I bring that same passion and commitment as a personal trainer and running coach; with over 6 years of experience in the gym and 4 years as a high school cross country and track coach. I’ve worked with youth, high school, college athletes, as well as adult weekend warriors to build better strength, endurance, and performance in competition and everyday life. Currently I am a Coach with Yorktown High School Cross Country and Track & Field.
I’m a big believer in less is more with my athletes, where consistency and intensity are the keys to unlocking better performance and less setbacks. I use a combinations of methods through coaches such as Jack Daniels and Brad Hudson to build programs that make sense for where you are as an athlete to build a road map to where you want to be and I’ve used this successfully for all of my athletes as well as my self.

What our athletes are saying about Coach Cody
“Cody is an exceptionally professional and reliable coach. We hired him to improve the running speed of my 13, now 14-year-old son for soccer. However, Cody goes beyond speed improvement, addressing balance, agility, and overall fitness. Considering my son's age, goals, and schedule, Cody tailors his approach. Since working with Cody, my son has shown overall great improvement, and as a positive side effect, his swimming has also progressed. Stronger legs contribute to improved swimming performance. We intend to maintain our collaboration with Cody. “
“I (28 woman) worked with Coach Cody to get back into running shape after 2 years of no cardiovascular activity. He created a realistic running program for me to pace myself and not push myself to hard to fast. He worked with me once a week to improve my running form, build strength, and increase speed. Coach Cody was wonderful at encouraging me to push my limits but also modifying workouts to match where I was at on any given day. He is a great coach who really listens to what you need and works hard to get you where you want.”
“Coach Cody is full of knowledge, so positive, patient, and just overall supportive as my wife and I try to be better at strength training for runners. Both of us would definitely work with him again for strength training or run coaching. He is an all around good human, and we are big fans!”
