M.S., CSCS, USAW-L1
Sports Performance Coach & Personal Trainer My name is Collin Lawless and I am a native of Midlothian, VA!

I am Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified (2022) through the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association as well as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (2017) through the National Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association. I am also a former collegiate baseball player graduating from Christopher Newport University in 2017. I developed a strong passion for human performance at CNU. From 2017 to 2022, I pursued collegiate sports performance roles with my most recent stops being at Western Carolina University, the University at Buffalo, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I recently chose to return to my hometown and focus my passion for human performance on helping members of the Midlothian community look, feel and move better through high-quality personal training services.

“My goal is to take the knowledge and experience I have acquired training collegiate athletes and apply it in a more exclusive setting to help members of our community live healthy and sustainable lives.”

It’s OK, we all get busy

Life can get in the way, and our routine doesn’t always look the same

However, where we fall short can sometimes be we find ways out and not ways through

Build confidence and trust in yourself knowing that even when your schedule gets busy or you don’t think you can make time, you do

Show up for yourself when you least expect it and you’ll be much happier over the long-term

Don’t take my word for it just try it

While “core” exercises focus on isolated movement, heavy compound lifting focuses on spinal stabilization which is the core’s primary functional role

Why Heavy Lifts Win:

Maximal Bracing: Movements like squats and deadlifts require intense intra-abdominal pressure. This trains the deep transverse abdominis and pelvic floor to create a rigid, protective pillar for the spine.

Anti-Movement Training: The core’s job is to resist force. Heavy loads force your midsection to prevent unwanted flexion, extension, and rotation—skills that translate directly to injury prevention.

Integrated Strength: Unlike floor crunches, heavy lifting recruits the entire posterior chain and stabilizers simultaneously. This builds structural thickness and functional rigidity that isolation moves cannot replicate.

Treat “core” work as a supplement. For a truly “bulletproof” core, prioritize heavy, multi-joint resistance training
