About Me

Who I Am & Why I Coach

My name is Garrett, also known as Coach Big G, and I founded Regain Wellness West MI after navigating a difficult health crossroads in my own life.

At one point, weight gain, medication side effects, declining mobility, and exhaustion made everyday tasks increasingly difficult. I felt disconnected from my body and unsure of how to move forward. Rather than accepting that trajectory, I began experimenting with small, realistic changes—focused on movement, daily habits, and consistency.

Over time, those changes helped me regain strength, improve mobility, and rebuild a sense of control over my health and daily life. That experience reshaped how I think about wellness and ultimately led me to coaching others who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe sustainable progress comes from simple, repeatable habits—not extreme programs or quick fixes.

My coaching approach emphasizes:

  • Safety and gradual progression

  • Practical strategies that fit real life

  • Consistency over perfection

  • Supportive accountability without shame

Every person’s background, abilities, and goals are different. Coaching should meet people where they are and evolve with them over time.

Experience Training & Safety

My background includes years of hands-on coaching and leadership across a variety of age groups and ability levels.

Experience includes:

  • Youth football head coaching

  • Wrestling coaching, including state-level competition

  • Adult women’s tackle football coaching

  • One on one wellness coaching

These roles have shaped my ability to communicate clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and guide individuals through both physical and mental challenges. I bring that same structured, supportive approach to wellness coaching.

Safety and responsibility are central to my work.

Training & certifications include:

  • CPR & First Aid (Adult, Child, Infant)

  • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

My background includes training in behavior change, habit formation, and supportive coaching practices that help individuals build consistency and confidence over time.
